How dare you, alioli is heavenly and ranch is disgusting. I’ve been to the US once and had the displeasure of tasting it.

Apparently they do but it’s the Mexican variant where they imitate the chufa/Tiger nut flavour with rice and vanilla apparently. They don’t know what they are missing.

The fact that you will be nearer to the place where the real horchata is made? The Mexican horchata is an imitation of the one made with Chufa in Spain.

It’s originally a Spaniard drink, done with something called Chufa. The Mexican variant apparently is an imitation using rice as a replacement. Being in Europe I’d go for the real thing tbh.

It tastes like sweet almond milk, kinda, probably because chufa is called ground almond in english. You might get a similar taste if you mix rice and almond milk but don’t tell any Valencian I said that.

You mentioned tons of fantasy subgenres, but the one I was singling out is sci-fi, which is not something classical fantasy fans are usually fans of.

If you put add SciFi into the bag and remove a huge part of the books, keeping only the bestsellers, no wonder the statistics are so different.

I’d say that it’s you who has skewed the comparison here.

I get your point but you are comparing phones with consoles. I don’t think that apple’s case can be used as precedent here.

That’s the sentiment that allows these rich fucks to avoid paying taxes without big backlash. First focus on collecting, then on spending…

It’s more nuanced though. Here’s how rich people use charities to gain wealth:

Rich person has tons of money that would be taxed if bill Y passes. Rich person creates a charity and donated 20% of what they would had to pay to the IRS to the charity, with that money the charity uses half for good causes and half is given to X lobby company, which then lobbies politicians to avoid passing that bill.

In the end, the rich person saved 80% of what they would had to pay.

Yeah, 10% went to good causes but imagine what the society could afford if 100% went through instead of 0.

This is a very rough outline of how they do it, but the summary is that they use charities to donate to lobbies while skipping taxes on the donation itself.

Booooy, read about sandy hook, the infowars dude lost a lawsuit so big he had to apparently sell infowars, and the onion won the bid.

Then the dude tried to null the bid or something, and the comic happened.

I just go to a print/copy store. Pay up, be done with it.

You said that the kernel anticheat problem will never be solved, I challenged that, not that this is seen as a Linux problem for the end user or not.

I play all the games I want to play, no one wants to play all the games, there’s no physical time to do so.

Also, all of this is in the context of a tech savvy person. A tech savvy person can tweak almost all games to run properly nowadays… I do and I’m not THAT savvy.

It’s kinda funny you mention all those points to me, when I’ve been gaming on Linux for about 3 years now. I play on steam, use heroic for gog games, play a lot of modded D2… All in Linux. Saying that Microsoft treats backwards compatibility and support when they are forcing everyone to either pay for win10 support or join the win11 spyware mafia is a ludicrous statement btw.

Games with kernel-level anticheat do work on Linux, if the anticheat provider has done the work. Right now, most don’t and actively stopped supporting Linux so saying that won’t work ever is kind of a stretch.

“Isn’t good enough to replace windows” - here I am playing Modded games, path of exile, ffxiv, other FF games, cyberpunk, all PC monster Hunter games… Your statement is false.

I see nothing wrong with using a compatibility layer, it does the work of retrocompatibility alongside separating game environments, which is good for security.

Oh, sure. Agreed that at the time the proton Linux ecosystem was pretty under developed.

But to be excited now about a windows handheld is a whole other story, specially because of the battery as stated.

Unless you want to play TFT on the handheld for some god forsake reason I see no point on it being windows. But I ditched widows for all my PCs and I’m very tech savvy so I’m biased.

The big problem with windows handhelds is battery, there is a huge difference in consumption. I highly doubt that “most steam deck purchasers installed windows” (if that’s what you meant), you need a high technical level to do so and people are used to being limited to a single store in a console anyway.

That dollar amount is higher than what several presidents of European countries earn. I’m sorry but if a project is based on donations from around the globe, you can’t then think of a salary that’s one of the highest in the world.

I read all of the comment chain and I perfectly understand that in San Francisco or LA the rent is huge and that people earn those numbers. If I’ll ever consider donating part of my Spanish salary, looking at that stupidly high number heavily disincentives me because what the fuck, living in one of the world’s most expensive places and expecting for people that live with a third of that money (with a salary that’s considered high!!) to donate is super entitled.

Most companies in Spain pay you a health insurance here so that it pays you the rest of your salary. (Besides free private doctor consultations and other stuff).

I’m pretty sure that with Spain’s position in all that matter, and it being inside Schengen, you are bullshitting.
