That person has given me awful reactionary vibes for ages so I’m glad to see them banned, though I didn’t know it was actually that bad since I can only really see the stuff that’s not removed of course

But yeah, they always gave me the sense of “this person wants to be communist but not actually change their behavior” and seemed like the kind of person to try to find the “right reasons” to hate on something that’s already getting shit for being “woke”

I think EndeavourOS (or anything based on Arch Linux) isn’t a great distro to start with for a beginner, experienced users like to pretend that it’s totally easy but it’s really not, it generally relies more on the terminal and manual configuration than other easier distros

I agree with that other comment in this thread saying that a different distro would be a lot easier to learn, and I also agree with them about Fedora Kinoite being easy to understand as a new user (the distro I use is a variant of it), though I also understand that a lot of people here aren’t fond of Fedora due to their connection to Red Hat, and Fedora’s Atomic variants like that have some quirks that make them different from most other distros

I also agree that XFCE isn’t a great choice of desktop environment, a big part of it being “lightweight” is because it lacks a lot of useful features that other DEs have, and if your PC can handle current Windows then you most likely will be fine with “heavier” DEs like KDE Plasma or GNOME, they still generally run better than Windows these days

I’d recommend trying KDE Plasma (Fedora Kinoite comes with it, but you can get it on most other distros too), it’s very flexible but still pretty easy to use, its UI scaling works better than in any other DE I’ve seen, and it also has color blindness filters if that’s what you mean by color filter (and if you mean blue light filter, it has that too)

Ayyy this is the guy who was defending price gouging during a hurricane the other week, real positive force for society right here

Awesome news

Edit: They got banned from Hexbear too

Their response on another post is pretty incoherent, I’ve never heard someone mean this when they say they’re against “woke”

All the while, they claim it’s Russia that’s engaging in “human waves” tactics

It looks like they’re also doing the same thing with an alt on Hexbear (they posted the same Daily Mail articles to their politics community which looks to be against that community’s “don’t directly link reactionary sites” rule lol), which I think is another red flag

I agree that it’s really suspicious at best, I have no idea what purpose this community could serve other than for spreading that kind of nonsense, especially considering the brand new account that created it is clearly a reactionary of some variety

I think it’s a pretty huge red flag though that it’s a brand new “transracial woke-free” account that immediately creates this community and starts using it to link fascist rags and nothing else

I saw someone on reddit complain about linking to a tweet because Twitter is a right-wing shithole, and someone replied “And reddit isn’t?”

But then someone replied to that with “Seriously? Right-wingers don’t plague Reddit.”

Ahahahahaha users have negative self awareness

Taking a quick look at the video (everything except actually watching it), the idea seems fine, CoD WWII really isn’t a very good campaign and it seems like a fair comparison to make

Like, it’s not like WaW isn’t heroic, but it does focus more on the horrors of war than most other CoD games, and is a pretty big contrast from WWII which barely focuses on that at all and is full of goofy over-the-top action setpieces

I’d need to watch it to know (so I could be wrong), but it probably isn’t about Soviets vs Americans either since WaW’s American campaign isn’t much different in tone from its Soviet campaign

I don’t think World at War’s some masterpiece like it’s often made out to be, but it at least feels like it’s got relatively a consistent tone

A similar PC capable of 4k60 is more than double the price of the ps5 pro.

I think that would depend on what you consider as “capable of 4K60”, because the PS5 Pro will almost certainly be far less capable of that than a build that’s double the price, especially since games that are already CPU-bound aren’t going to get much better framerates if at all

Yeah, I really don’t think an RX 6600 build would outperform the PS5 Pro at all, that doesn’t line up with what I’ve heard at all

From what I’ve heard, an RX 7700 XT build might be pretty close though, and a basic build with one of those and a 5600 would be not that much more than a PS5 Pro, which does definitely go to show how crap the PS5 Pro price is (especially since that CPU is probably better than the one in the PS5 Pro)

The regular PS5 isn’t going anywhere, and you still won’t be able to build an equivalent PC for near the same price as that, but the Pro is so much more expensive for relatively little gain that the price gap for that is pretty small, and on PC you’d get a better CPU too

This costs nearly $1000 here in Canada (more after the disc drive and stand and tax), Sony’s gone fuckin’ nuts with the price on this thing

The literal only argument here is just “I don’t have to use a bunch of Google tabs anymore because ChatGPT can lie to me all in one place!!” lmao

Like, the only way this works is if ChatGPT is literally always correct at all times (which will never be the case fundamentally), because otherwise it’s even worse than the existing process of just using Google because it’s just another step before you end up needing to do that anyway

This isn’t even one of those “oh in the made-up future where ChatGPT is magically perfect, this will be useful, therefore we should support AI-bros right now so we can get there” types of things, this is just assuming that ChatGPT in its current form is somehow a good research tool which is just about the opposite of the case

Not sure you’re going to find a CoD that isn’t American propaganda, even the WWII ones have propaganda as other people pointed out

Advanced Warfare has you end up fighting a genocidal megacorporation superpower run by an American (though you end up fighting alongside the US Army against it)

Infinite Warfare has you play as American but you’re at least not fighting an existing enemy group, you’re fighting against cartoonishly evil space fascists lol

Also, avoid Call of Duty WWII (the 2017 one), that one doesn’t even have a Soviet campaign lol, it’s rather hilarious how much that one goes straight to “America won WWII” when the older CoDs were pretty good about not doing that

I’ve played too much CoD so I can go on a lot about these games lol

God, passive language in news articles mentioning cops is so beyond parody at this point that I can’t even tell what headlines mean anymore
