As a committed hexbear poster, I want to share something sorta quick that might give insight into the chapo rules for posting.
The culture generally arose from having a home-team advantage on the old sub. Where typically across reddit, Liberals and Conservatives would argue in bad faith with leftists, return to propaganda as proof, and generally ignore history and call it "whataboutism".
The culture that came from the home-team advantage was a mix of well cited arguments and a ruthless trolling component. It's a relentless form of arguing, where many people can get together and reverse the general consensus.
So when some far right person came in and thought they were being witty with some canned racist/sexist/homophobic remark, we would simply bully them, Tell them to post hog, etc. Same thing with Liberals depending on the comment. Good faith comments are typically met with a thoughtful response. Nowhere else on reddit could you have the level of backup to drown out the fascist elements on that site.
This culture is a shock to a lot of people but I assure you we're very nice people and I think some of us are just a little too excited to dunk again.
I hope this helps a bit. We're all extremely anti-fascist. We do have critical support for previous socialist endeavors, because the horrors of capitalism and it's bedfellow, fascism, have still more than outdone the harm socialist projects caused.
I've been agitating on HN for a little while, at first I was just commenting to unlock the magical downvote button but now I'm honestly seeing an ideological shift, small but its there.
A lot of those guys are wholly unprepared for pushback and it makes it fairly easy pickings unless you're actively defending the USSR. I've even got some critical support for china posts that ratio'd the original comment.
it's not a great comparison I'll admit, but it's essentially the same as digital privacy, only one of these is protected in courts and the other is encouraged.
I haven't sat down to really build a stance on this but it does not sit well.
You don't miss the jack until you're suddenly faced with a need for it, away from all your adapters. Nothing beats just a single common plug that can interface with every bit of audio electronics ever.
I love my bt ear buds but 98% of bluetooth audio gear is ewaste from the factory.
A large majority of games on steam work via proton.
For games outside steam, there's a pretty good community around wine wrappers. I think it's called lutris.
I used to play GTAV, assassins creed, and other AAA titles through it 4 years ago and its only gotten better.
