  • As someone on their second foldable, fold 3 now fold 6, the crease is truly, I promise you, a non issue. Unless you’re doing detained drawing with the S-pen, not my use case, it has no meaningful effect on the experience. For single person consumption, you almost have to consciously try to position it in a way that’s visible when watching a video, for example.

    I’d actually miss the crease, as it gives the screen a kind of magic book-esque quality. The biggest problem with foldables in my experience is the odd aspect ratio universal to all of them, something a tri fold design may actually mitigate.

    Humans aren’t saying that, our habitat is in response to our actions, as translated by scientist’s measurements.

    We can stop. We should stop. We won’t stop.

    If that means you want to call our planet an eco-terrorist, that’s actually kind of funny. This isn’t about humans killing humans. This is about Humans attacking our only habitat as we rely on it for every breath we take and every bite we take, and our habitat responding predictably to our actions.

    It’s not about justice. It’s about homeostasis. The guy and possibly his kids will be fine in their luxury climate bunkers as the world grows more bleak and they bark orders remotely until there’s no one left alive or dumb enough to keep listening.

    The thing is though, what we’ve done and are doing right now will take millions of years to heal. Nothing to Earth’s 3.8 billion year old story of life, but effectively eternity to our monkey brains. I just don’t see our species putting down our shovel and living within our ecological means when that would mean necessary decline in our quality of life and intentional population control over time. We were warned for a century. We are feeling the effects. Scientists are noting new runaway effects conservative estimates didn’t account for. We need to stop 30 years ago, and we won’t even stop today.

    I don’t consider it justice, I consider it wholesale refusal as a species to live within our ecological means. We just keep digging, and the consequences, the physics, don’t care why.

    Capitalism: “Growth or die!”

    Earth: I mean… If that’s how it’s gotta be, you little assholes🤷👋🔥

    It’s kind of gallows hilarious that for all the world’s religions worshipping ridiculous campfire ghost stories, we have a creator, we have a remarkable macro-organism mother consisting of millions of species, her story of hosting life going back 3.8 billion years, most living in homeostasis with their ecosystem.

    But to our actual, not fucking ridiculous works of lazy fiction creator, Earth, we literally choose to treat her like our property to loot, rape, and pillage thoughtlessly, and continue to act as a cancer upon her eyes wide open. We as a species are so fucking weird, and not the good kind.



  • I understand the point. But it misses an extremely important factor: technology.

    Yes, humans have played pretend we were this world’s owners/masters since civilization began.

    But our toolbox is filled with tech that can literally reverse terraform the climate against us, and we’re using it with abandon and without restraint. Add to that AI, CRISPR derived bioweapons, etc. We’ve gotten to the point where we cobble together yet another means of world wide destruction every decade or two, and we all know we’re too stupid and selfish not to for the prospect of short term, individual gain.

    They were monkeys with spears and swords, a threat to rival monkey tribes, but in no way the entire species. We are monkeys with nukes and beyond.

    Remember, small impressionable children, oligarchy and rigged market capitalism is the only way, everything else is evil and anti-freedom, and remember to compete against your fellow Americans to try to get more than them!

    For our next lesson, critical thinking and reasoning! Just kidding, we don’t do that here. It doesn’t help to make you better laborers.

    And now onto history, open your textbooks to page 33:

    You can use steam link, or even better sunshine/moonlight, and have the best of both worlds if your local network is strong.

    I can play fully modded Skyrim/Fallout4/Cyberpunk/Starfield on any screen in the house.

    I don’t even see the point of a steam Deck, I use a regular 10inch tablet with a kickstand running moonlight and an Xbox controller in bed.
