Who would have thought? Ad makers have always been so ethical in the past.

“The point of propaganda isn’t only to misinform or push an agenda. It is to exhaust your critical thinking, to annihilate truth.”

How’s the PDF formatted, is it optimised for print? Because Canva has pretty fucking sloppy output normally.

Nobara has been great. I fucked it up once and had to do a full resinstall. I also tried Mint and Bazzite but ended up going back to Nobara. Only had to go boot into Windows a few times to use some old programs but pretty much everything else has been perfect for me.

I use a dock with my steam deck. Highly recommended. I was shocked at how seamless it was as an experience.

I would argue that if you’re an Xbox gamer with no interest in PC and no interest in trying different eco-systems then yes the new ROG Xbox Ally will be your best bet. You might not get quite the same performance as the SteamOS models but you’ll have access to your GamePass, cross-buy library titles if you have any and a familiar interface.

EDIT: Woof, after seeing the ROG Ally Xbox X, there’s no way could I recommend it.

I get what you’re saying…if that were my experience I’d be jack of it too. I’ve got similar spec and am running Nobara which is pretty much Steam OS for people with Nvidia cards. The only thing. The only thing I got really into the weeds on was setting up Plex. Which wasn’t my first preference but I couldn’t work out how to get Jellyfin to cast to my old Chromecast. Other than that though I’ve had a great experience that ‘just works’.

Fascinating case study. I hadn’t heard of this before.

Called it

Pretty much any immersive-sim, Prey, Deus Ex, Thief, Dishonored, System Shock Remake.

Probably worth doing if you can afford it

I remember when I first started working full time. The exhaustion is real. It doesn’t ever really go away but you will eventually learn to live with it.

I worked in advertising for over 10 years before a career change. I saw how much money was wasted on programmatic digital advertising. I’d recommend checking out the book, The Subprime Attention Crisis

‘Targeted advertising’ is shockingly untargeted. As the underpinning of our digital economy, the value of online advertising is dangerously overinflated.

What was that story warning people that if they use RedNote they’ll experience ‘Chinese style censorship’ for the first time?
