This is such a bad faith comment. Im not a hexbear user but my instance is federated with them and ive interacted with lots of their posts. Go into any post on hexbear and youll see tons of examples of them disagreeing WITH EACHOTHER. they commonly have huge arguments in the comments and as long as everyone is civil and not arguing in bad faith noone gets banned and noone gets urt feelings. Stop lying and using hexbear as the lemmy boogeyman because its a bad look.

I mean its kind of nonsense because ive never and will never paid a convenience fee, mostly making me download an app is inconvenient enough to get me to not use a given service. But also because the only downside to taking out the 'physical manifestations' of these bullshit hypercapitalist scams would be a better world for all of us.

Have you not heard of a router? Sure i have an internet connection but i wouldnt have to. Lots of people have subnetworks that are isolated from outside network access, and my router would still be able to stream from my computer to my laptop even if my internet was down or i unplugged the modem. The last time they did scheduled maintenance on my internet thats exactly what i did, i streamed things that i had previously downloaded and saved on a different computer.

So if you had no soap available and shit on your arm, what would you use? Only paper? Or water? Your argument is fucking stupid. Of course people have different standards of cleanliness but the guy who doesnt clean his ass at all also has a different standard of cleanliness, and his standard is fucking disgusting.

If youre only streaming it within your home network that could still be very much offline...

When your friend asks you to tripsit for their heroic psychedelic voyage.

Microsoft mjght have been better than thwy are now then, but they were NEVER fun and cool. Dont be gaslit.

Have you never had a friend group? Like that's a dead-ass simple 'study' of a gift economy. Sometimes someone pays for lunch, sometimes someone pays for beer, sometimes someone brings weed or bakes cookies or sings a song. Everyone helps everyone else out. Each according to their need, based on their ability. Or is that not something you're familiar with, because if not, you need better friends.

I usually do this anyway to a certain extent, at least I kinda rephrase what I said, in case them asking 'what' wasn't because they didn't hear me but because they didn't understand. Then if their brain does catch up they get two different versions of my message :)

A water bear being 1/10th of the edge of a coin doesn't seem right, that'd be like 0.2mm and probably still visible. Did you miss a stage?

edit I'm totally wrong, apparently they can be up to 0.5mm. Crazy. Althought they're much smaller when young

I assume we saw the same one but it wasn't an 'official' controller, it was a 3rd party one specifically designed with steam in mind. Made by a company called Hori. Valve hasn't announced another steam controller yet.
