@ryo Some people can't ditch the phone completely, but anyone who dumped their PC and does their computing exclusively on smart devices is a fucking moron. Seriously, I saw someone writing a Google Doc using the web browser on their Smart TV. It was the most disgusting thing I ever saw.
@ArdainianRight Is it just me or does the cover art for every Xenoblade game look the fucking same?
@hj @ItsSkyDragonz @why Steam Deck seems to be more like Valve's late answer to the GPD Win among other handheld gaming PCs.
@ItsSkyDragonz A new entry in the DS line with 7th-8th gen graphics and a screen that isn't fucking 240p would be cool. The Switch doesn't cut it.
@PhenomX6 @wrongthink @ryo You can just list your links on a pastebin or on txti.es if you want to be that simple. I know a lot of them have those kind of sites because they purchased a custom domain for business emails and they decided that they might as well have a website too but don't know what to put on there so they just put links to all their profiles.
@ryo Most of my family.
@PhenomX6 @wrongthink @ryo How many of them realize that Steam is by definition DRM?
@vriska I can't believe that there are so many people who go that long without eating despite having easy access to food.
@wrongthink @ryo You should also bring up how many PC gamers have all of their games on Steam (some won't even play games that aren't on it) which defeats the purpose of having an open platform.
@ryo It's probably going to take some time. Right now, everyone seems to be in the mindset that all crypto is dead or a scam.
Monero in particular has been painted by the MSM as some evil, neo-nazi, drug dealer, terrorist, pedophile currency, and nobody wants to go near it. It's why most clearnet marketplaces don't accept it because they don't want to be associated with that.
@PhenomX6 @ryo That and as I mentioned earlier, the FOSS community and the *nix community already has that left-leaning culture to it. They probably got their politics from them.
Most of the younger (tech-literate) authright/libright probably grew up with Windows and were most likely either apolitical or centrists during their youth. They probably screwed around with programs like RPG Maker or Flash during middle school, maybe took a few web design and programming classes in high school, and either majored in IT, Computer Science, or Computer Engineering in college or got an IT certification (assuming they had a post high school education). They probably got more into politics during GamerGate, the 2016 elections, and similar events going on at that time. This was basically the case with me, at least.
Windows isn't much of a tinkering OS compared to the many Unix-like operating systems, so they aren't as tech-savvy as the Unix trannies. They probably never bothered messing around with server-shit outside of gaming servers and any webdev experience was probably done on some shared-host. So when they finally start making some freeze-peach site, they just slapped some PHP code together and host it on AWS. That or they pay some free-lancer soydev to do it or just use some existing software out there while poorly maintaining it.
@neo @wrongthink @ryo Yeah, but I don't think you can run a Pleroma server on Windows.
@ryo @wrongthink
>all I got in return was "TEEHEE!! How do you think we would ever attract an audience on self hosted garbage!? LULZ!!".
That's why you host exclusive content on there. Styxhexenhammer, despite being a total retard and unworthy of the "libertarian" label, hosts bonus videos exclusively on his alt-tech accounts. Just do the same but on your own site.
But when they do have their own sites, it's always some shitty WordPress, Wix, or Squarespace garbage with Big Tech APIs (I think most Wordpress themes have them) and it's usually just links and/or a front-end for their merch store. For the love of God, HTML isn't that hard. You can even download HTML+CSS templates (just check for any Big Tech JS/CSS). You're not writing a program, you're just hosting document files on a computer connected to the internet. Unless you're also making a back-end for the site, it's not that complicated.
>Also, MAGAtards are just AuthRight
I know, but my point is is that everyone who wants to host content should try to self-host, regardless of political ideology.
