I see your point, but context matters. The title is saying: “PCs are a superior kind to consoles (and macs)”. Saying that a certain type of technology is superior to another is absolutely okay, even though the same can’t be said for people. Banning certain phrases in spite of the way they’re used will do more harm than good to us in the long run. Additionally, people who constantly get so worked up about the usage of these phrases and words are the same ones who grant them the enormous power they hold over us.

Please don’t start with that again. PC master race is a perfectly fine name and I’m glad they didn’t change it. I’ll just have to make another account.

I’ve heard it’s actually employees sending the threats, not developers. Unsure if it’s true, but if it is, it just goes to show how much of an awful boss Riccitiello is.

Absolutely sexist. I’m honestly kind of dumbfounded by the number of people opposing this. France has done some stupid shit recently, but they are absolutely in the right here.

Come on now, just because someone is poking fun at woke culture doesn’t mean they’re Ron DeSantis (the guy who from my understanding wants to ban trans people and is persecuting gay people as well).

It’s as if it was only yesterday that I watched him flip nvidia off.

I’d agree, except the progressives and conservatives align with the left and right respectively in 99% of cases. Some even go as far as to consider their social values inseparable from the economic ones. When’s the last time you met a conservative socialist, for instance?

“Both sides bad” is a bad take when applied to economics. In that area, one side is clearly superior. However, when it comes to politics as a whole, specifically social values, the other commenter is right. Now don’t get me wrong, it’s not like I’m crazy about the right’s social values or anything, but I am very critical of some of the stuff the left is promoting lately (and no, I don’t mean just chronically online liberals).

I think OP was referring to the communists that founded lemmy and run this instance, in which case there is no party.

You’re actually the one infantilizing the divide in this case and I’m saying this as a socialist myself.

Keep in mind, you are posting this to lemmy.ml, so I don’t know what you expected… Maybe something like this would be better recieved on lemmy.world or on your account’s instance.

How effective are VPNs at preventing this? I’ve heard it recommended the most as a counter measure.

I mean proton is available in the AUR last I checked. Also, couldn’t you just use the “add non-steam game” option in steam? I’ve heard it does sometimes block pirated games, but it wouldn’t hurt to try

So true! Here, have some internet points and validation!

I’ve used only ublock for a while and haven’t had any issues with sites detecting adblock. Heck, even with the recent youtube debacle I still block ads on yt and haven’t noticed any of the things people are complaining about. Though, I have youtube enhancer as well which also blocks ads.

So we’re talking insults and no one’s gonna mention Serbian… Пуши курац is a classic!
