A bit ironic as he never pays for things either.
Are you telling me we didn’t get our land by making friends, providing a great handshake and striking a good deal for everyone?
I would argue that they are financially motivated to keep proton and Linux gaming going and not just out of the kindness of their hearts. They are competing with Microsoft and their store. When your competition has complete control of the OS you need to run your store on, you are at the total mercy of them. They can’t afford not to keep on their current track. Especially now that they are successfully doing it, going back would be a death sentence.
It was a joke about the significant portion of lemmy users also being Linux users. Also that Linux users ( like myself) would be oblivious that somebody could dislike Linux or not be interested. So it is assumed that they must like Linux then and would care about things Linux users care about. With the magic of circular reasoning, you can then say that since they must obviously love Linux that they would then agree with the person and want to hear what they say.
It was a far stretch for a joke but I will stand by it.
They said issues that they don’t care about. If that were the case, they would logically only agree. So that can’t be it.
I like the way you think! I think we could do it cheaper though. You know how we have that spinney thing at NASA for the astronauts? Well what if we stand that straight up and accelerate it even faster to launch them into orbit? They will already be dead so the G’s taken on by the body should be fine.
If it makes you feel better, you would be long dead before you ever hit the ground. Jumping from that point, you would still be in an ever so slightly declining orbit around earth. I am not sure how long it would take you to reenter but you would have died from the lack oxygen long before then. When you do get there, you will most likely burn up in the atmosphere spreading your ashes over whatever continent or ocean happens to be below you at the time. A great way in my opinion to do cremations with maximum spread.
Yes, provided that you already have their number and don’t send anything too risky. Following someone around with your phone to show them memes might freak them out if you don’t know them.
“Hey Lady! Stop running, I just want to show you my memes!”
“Get away from me!”
That is not socially acceptable.
If you want someone to smile, you don’t tell them to smile, that will just piss them off. The real solution is to try to make them smile by cheering them up. Ideally with something funny or wholesome. Who knows? They might really appreciate it and be a bit more fond of you.
They aren’t really wrong either. We have our own propaganda problems too.
I can 100% for a fact say they are not doing that. I know the guy very well and he is not that tech savy.
When I say concerned, I meant it more in a joking sense.
It is one of those things you don’t really think about until it pops up.
Hasn’t really occurred to me to tell people unless they asked or it became necessary because they can’t get their transcode settings correctly.
It doesn’t bother me in that I want them to stop, I just find it very strange and somewhat humorous.
I wonder if he is capable of watching the movie now without falling asleep?
The idea of sleep streamers conflicts with my desire to provide a good service to my friends but also not waste bandwidth.
You like Jazz?
You misunderstand, it is my friend but I try not to keep track of what my users are watching because it is kinda creepy. That being said, it is odd enough to be noticeable. So I could say something, but I don’t want to be weird for knowing what they watch.
While I enjoy ribbing a friend as much as anyone, a lot of people see it as an invasion of privacy, because it is.
I will never get used to the idea of people using content to fall asleep. It just seems odd to me.
Thanks!
