  • Managers being completely out of touch and also not realizing how useless they are is an ancient tale, no offense to your kin but even before AI you could generally assume stupidity when meeting an MBA, at minimum you can assume lack of curiosity or anything interesting to say.

  • Oh yeah it won’t get any play like that, the Seattle Times has a piece on it but even if it’s really successful I wouldn’t expect MSNBC to cover it, Fox might if they can spin it as the godless lefts war on Christmas but they also risk spreading the word that way.

  • Johnson and religious fanatics like him want people to suffer, they want people to be desperate for any help or hope they turn to his religion for help. And here’s the thing, any suffering they cause will be justified if only one “soul is saved for Christ”. Religion should be disqualifying for public office

  • There’s been talk of it on other social media for quite a long time, all over TikTok and even my friends still on Twitter and insta have asked about it. You might be right but I also don’t think these kind of movements have targeted the fediverse platforms

  • I have a very firm memory of reading the term Yellow Journalism in my history text book in high school it was bold and highlighted because it was a key vocab word, I also remember how little time was spent discussing it, I don’t think I could’ve ever imagined how important that term and its progression to the information media system we have now, we are well and truly fucked because they cannot just call a spade a spade because they are owned by entities that need you to believe the spade is a diamond

  • Half the posts I see on lemmy about this are incredibly out of touch with mainstream gamers and consumers and I’m getting second hand embarrassment from it.

    Most people do not want to tinker with their shit at all, and the proportion of people that care about display port vs hdmi is probably about the same they want exactly what you said, ease of a console with the nimble power of a PC. This is exactly that

  • Folks that would/could do that are not the folks this seems geared towards IMO, and I think it may whoosh a lot of us on Lemmy because in general we like to tinker and figure tech out, that's obviously not ubiquitous, but the vast majority of people(read consumers) do not want that at all. I also suspect the Steam Machine will be priced right around $500 to compete with the PS5, depending on their sales expectations they could legit make this a loss leader.

    More likely geared towards the average PC gamer that just wants to play games and doesn't give a fuck about OSS or Linux in addition to lifelong console gamers that prefer controllers on couch gaming but are interested in all the other perks/freedoms that PCs offer. I was in the latter group about a year ago when I bought my deck.
