You’re correct, the other commenter missed the “2 computers” part of your comment.

You can run multiple Steam games at the same time on the same PC, but not on different PCs.

That is, unless you take advantage of Steam’s “offline” mode. If you launch Steam in offline mode on the secondary computer, you’ll be able to play already-downloaded Steam games on that PC, while still being free to play Steam games normally on the primary computer.

Capitalism: “No.”

How has it been like 20 years since Slashdot was relevant, and we’re still getting the same, “LOL install Linux instead” comments?

Like, I’ve been using and loving Linux since the late '90. But damn, I’m expecting to see “Micro$oft” in these comments any moment.

God heals, but always within the exact parameters of what is possible by the modern medicine of that exact era.

Amputees unfortunately can still go fuck themselves.

Put a large collection of albums into your “Library”.

Now try to pull up a list of a single artist’s albums within your Library.

The “Library” management is so remedial that it’s basically a joke. It can’t measure up to iTunes from 20 years ago. It’s completely unusable for a serious music collection.

It may be fine for people that just listen to singles and playlists, but every other music service can do that too, while also offering complete functionality elsewhere.

YouTube Music is a half-baked, half-complete product. It’s inexplicable that it exists when they literally just needed to do nothing but rebrand Google Play Music.

You can just click Follow and start following someone. You don’t have to perform a copy-paste dance to bring the username back to your instance and do the following there.

It’s ridiculous how much Mastodon advocates downplay this.

I strongly prefer Mastodon over the alternatives, but the onboarding experience is BAD for the average user.

YouTube Music is the enshitttified version of Google Play Music.

Apple Maps + CarPlay is so much better than Google Maps + Android Auto that the latter is embarrassing.

I say this as someone that has owned Android phones since the very beginning (HTC Dream/T-Mobile G1).

Game devs: “No thanks, we’re waiving the fees by using a different engine.”

But reaching back there and fondling their asshole with a wad of paper is totally not.

Linus criticizing Steve on “proper journalistic practices” shows an incredible lack of self-awareness.

Plenty of people who are critical of capitalism aren’t necessarily advocating for an entirely different system. Rather, they’re advocating for dealing with the problems of capitalism head-on, rather than pretending that they don’t exist and allowing them to become worse.

Isn’t like all of Lemmy already there?

Shows like The Handmaid’s Tale have been circling the drain of their own premise for a few years now.

As far as I’m concerned, that show ended when the first season did (which corresponded with the ending of the book).

When I heard a season 2 was happening, I thought it might be based around the book’s epilogue. Instead, it’s the same story dragged out long past where it was supposed to end.

Lemmy has enough user activity to fulfill my time-wasting needs.

There doesn’t need to be one website that EVERYONE is at. The Web didn’t used to be so damn consolidated.

I don’t give one shit about “Lemmy vs. Reddit”. I care about Lemmy having active communities to engage in, regardless of what is happening on some other website.

I get that, but the anime subs were just so absurdly numerous. I just wanted to browse /r/all without having the entire page be anime and “weeb” stuff. I would click to filter out subs over and over and over again, which would help for a while, but eventually /r/all would be flooded with a new batch of anime subs. All I wanted was a “filter out all anime subs” checkbox in the settings.

I think part of what annoyed me about the anime subs also is how much of it was the lowest of low-effort content (which was the same state of affairs for the “irl” and “circlejerk” subs, hence why I disliked them just as much). If I skimmed /r/all and came across thoughtful discussions about subjects that didn’t interest me, that never bothered me. But a screenful of crappy image posts never failed to annoy me.

I’m not arguing that the subs didn’t have a right to exist or anything, all I’m saying is that I personally found them annoying, wanted to not see them, and have enjoyed the fact that I’m not seeing so much of that same content now that I’m browsing Lemmy instead.

Well, when I look at the All communities list, I’m not yet seeing an endless flood of groups with “_irl”, “circlejerk”, or groups for every single damn anime in existence.

So, thankfully, it’s not feeling too Reddit just yet.
