I never would have guessed anywhere near 400k, that’s wild!

No tangible difference.

I’m gonna call it: apathy

🔥 Everything is fine 🔥

Cloudlfare down. tl;Dr?

I had one ordered before but the more you look at the specific language this guy uses, the more clear it becomes that he was not in it for anyone but himself. The community exists to finance his pet project.

Articles are incentivized to elaborate beyond what is even remotely necessary, link back to no one but themselves themselves, repeatedly, and to serve ads and extract personal information for sale while they’re doing it.

So you’ll have to excuse some of us looking for the tl;dr

I’ve got an old Mac I’ve managed to get running Sequoia but due to Apple dropping support for Intel, it’s running on borrowed time.

Heroic doesn’t have controller support. It also doesn’t have all the menus.

Hmm. It seems you’re actually correct on that one. Although I think they might have a hard time arguing that it’s “just a PC” when it launches straight into a dedicated gaming environment on boot.

What you’re saying doesn’t contradict that on Steam Machine you’re going to buy games from Valve only so it doesn’t matter that you can, in theory, buy from somewhere else.

What you’re saying is just false. This is not a theory. I’ve owned a “Steam machine” for several years and regularly acquire and play games from other stores. Whether you buy games from Valve is entirely up to you.

The bigger your library grows, the less likely you are to start buying games in another ecosystem.

No. That makes zero sense.

Valve doesn’t care if you „jailbreak”

There is no jailbreaking. There’s nothing to break. The system already allows you to do whatever you want. Just go into the menu and select “exit to desktop”.

they can get around tariffs by selling this console as a PC.

Why would you think PCs aren’t impacted by tariffs?

This is an illusion of an open system.

Well that’s certainly an…unusual position.

Steam obviously, there’s no competition.

There’s definitely competition. Is the competition great? Not really. But you can still buy and install games from Epic, Itch and GOG and run them on Steam hardware. It’s just not as convenient. There’s not really anything they can do about that. I hope one day soon someone makes a better frontend that supports other platforms better, and if they do, you’ll be able to install it on Steam hardware, because that’s what an open system means.

Closed hardware looks Like PS5, XBOX and Switch. No browser. No desktop. No access to any files. No mods. No emulation. No third party stores AT ALL. And in fact if you try to do any of those things, they will remotely brick your device.

Then as your library grows you get more and more vendor locked.

Not sure how you get there…

…what is “moronic”, exactly?

Graphene OS is not for criminals. It is just basic privacy protection.

Criminals like privacy, too.

This cunt must be some sort of shill or plant for government or surveillance capitalists.

Neither. Just another shameless YouTuber farming for clicks with no regard for the damage it causes.

Agreed

Ok so now we’ve moved the goalposts from “relevant” to “trustworthy”?

They’re not. And you know they’re not.

It’s what makes him relevant. Your personal feelings are not a valid reason.

Because he has 16 million subscribers? 🤔

If you watch the video, they’re citing Spanish officials. It was a big hurrah that went around a couple months ago.

But yeah, it makes for great clickbait too. You know the GOS guys are foaming at the mouth already for their weekly HARRASSMENT debacle.
