That’s one of the ones that’s actually assembled in Japan, too.

At the risk of sounding like a .ml-er, I think it’s a psychological effect of living under late-stage capitalism. Society is so permeated with “rugged individualism” and “hustle culture” and whatnot that the idea of cooperation and solidarity is lost.

The folks in this thread are misinterpreting the comment. It’s not that someone from 1970 wouldn’t understand the concept; it’s that they would rightfully think that it’s stupid and judge you for putting up with it.

The “4” guy is simping for billionaires, who will buy the forum and censor the other guy for calling him out as a “dumb fuck.”

I looked into that, and I’m fairly sure I don’t qualify (I think most/all of my ancestors immigrated before 1920).

I mean, if the US stripped my citizenship and deported me to Germany or Poland, obviously I’d be a refugee at that point.

But again, it wouldn’t ever get to that point because Trump’s ICE gestapo wouldn’t give a shit about what would be best for me and would make deliberately punitive decisions about what to do with me instead.

Ditto for you, probably: you wouldn’t be headed to China; you’d be headed to CECOT too.

Closed-source games should be packaged including their dependencies (e.g. like an AppImage or whatever) rather than relying on OS-provided shared libraries.

Sigh… this is exactly the sort of developer decision people were worried about when Proton first came out, and why some Linux users were opposed to it. Obviously in retrospect the benefits of Proton have been worth it, but those folks wouldn’t be wrong to say “I told you so.”

My take on it is that if you’re not developing Xbox-first (which would imply being forced into DirectX etc.) you should pick libraries that give you cross-platform compatibility “for free” (I know it’s not that simple, but you know what I mean) to begin with. It has to be part of the plan from the beginning (and integrated into your build/test pipeline, etc.); writing the whole game for Windows first and then trying to add Linux support after the fact is a fool’s errand.

At this point I almost wouldn’t mind being deported, if they sent me back to where my ancestors came from (Germany/Poland). Of course, what would actually happen would be getting shipped to that hole in El Salvador instead.

“Those who know will recognize it.”

This is not about “living outside of the system.” This is about you being a condescending bully and troll who tried to dictate to me what my own opinion is.

How many times do I have to tell you to go fuck yourself?

All I’m hearing is that the Tesla vandals need to step up their game.

You have “facts, knowledge and experience” about what I want? Bullshit. You are not fucking entitled to tell me what my own opinion is, so quit trying to condescend at me!

you want things to be futile and hopeless

Fuck you. Quit lying.

“They” is billionaires in general, not the Trump administration. Living in a foreign country isn’t the loophole you think it is.

Then give me one fucking reason why I shouldn’t start spreading lies and misinformation to fuck up Canada, too? Because that’s what you’re doing by giving the Democrats a scapegoat to avoid fixing their failed economic policies.

Because they have the votes to convict and remove.

Fuck off with that shit. All this is the result of neoliberals abandonment of the working class.

That’s unfortunate for them, because being confronted with even bigger horrible fucking monsters is the only thing the bullies and thugs of the Trump regime respond to.
