Honestly I’d be surprised if it’s not low end.

I may be a minority

That would be a problem.

Exactly. And we saw people doing that with the Steam Deck. Disney was using it to control their robots. Ukraine was using them to control IRL turrets. That’s just what we know of.

Probably 2 or 3 years before shortages are addressed.

“I think Valve was hoping for a much lower price and that the component issue would be short-term,” Cole said. “Obviously it is looking more like a long-term issue.”

I think we all knew this would be a long term issue.

Something happened over time, and I think it coincided with the rise of Donald Trump and the emergence of Twitter, Instagram, and TikTok as the social media platforms of choice. A lot of people just stopped bothering to defend their ideas against people who disagree with them. The arguments dried up.

It’s because we’ve realized these people are a completely lost cause.

The rise of these platforms increased the ability of politicians’ ability to disinform and manipulate people ten fold.

I guarantee 99% of people didn’t even know it was based on a game. Yes, he does have a following, but honestly not anywhere near big enough to explain the global sensation it’s become on his own.

So yes, you may have to establish some sort of following on your own before publishing a smash hit indie film, but there’s thousands of passionate people who have a similar following.

Iron Lung proves there’s room for more indie game films

A computer is an appliance. In the strictest sense of the word.

I’ve heard the phrase “I saw an ad on Instagram for…” way too many fucking times.

There never was an Overwatch 2.

I mean they ignore all the other laws, let’s add another to the list.

XMPP is federated

I mean only insofar as every other chat protocol “replaces” SMS. It only works if the other party is also using it. SMS and MMS will continue to be used with a completely different transmission mechanism.

AFAIK it is specifically meant as a replacement for SMS

Nope

and is used with regular pre-installed SMS Apps.

Only works with 3 proprietary apps, that I’m aware of. Google and Samsung Messages and iMessage.

I am not using GrapheneOS to then give my data to Google willingly

No one enables it to “give Google data”, they use it to get apps to work that use it as a dependency.

I don’t know anybody who still uses SMS/MMS to communicate.

RCS is neither.

I dunno what that means. I gave what I felt like a very simple take and this person started to argue with me, not the other way around.

You did say simple…
