Or maybe we are just different kinds of people and thus get treated differently. Maybe if I was a cishet euro dude I wouldn’t worry about it either.

You can meet people online, I would be very wary as a tourist, most folks will only talk back if they get value from it, like assault, robbery or your blood🦇
No modern housing due to NIMBYs here in the UK. A smaller community means renting a tiny attic, basement or god forbid house sharing a room in a partitioned victorian mcmansion for £1k a month or more. In my experience you will also have absolutely psycho neighbours over and over and over.
Trains will be dog shit in the south and you won’t get anywhere fast or reliably and you will pay £50 for the pleasure, the cars are too expensive to have, and nobody wants to sit in traffic. If you’re LGBTQ it’s only a matter of time if you get hatecrimed.
If you talk to anyone you’ll get the cops called on you because talking to strangers is very weird in those communities.
There are insane cliques on Facebook filled with elderly with too much time on their hands who will conspire to attack specific street buskers or Starbucks baristas for being overly “gormless”.
Having a nice hill to stare into fields at is okay, but most likely it’ll be filled with dogs and all those fields and beautiful “”“nature”“” will be privately owned as well.
You’re in luck, the deck runs those fairly well in my xp.
At least the economy will be great for the leopards
My life is on a bunch of HDDs dug out of failed laptops with SMART errors some of which have already failed in the past, they are duct taped together and shoved inside a drive cage they don’t fit in.

All these game will work swimmingly. Those marked playable will usually work perfectly fine out of the box, but maybe have an ugly launcher or something you need to use the touchscreen for. Those marked unplayable will have bugs but in my experience work fine too. There’s a more detailed less conservative compatibility db online too.
In terms of power it’s about between a PS4 and PS4 Pro, with a faster CPU, more RAM, slower GPU, but with a really fast NVMe SSD so games like CP2077 are very playable but not at the highest settings.
Gotta remember the Deck has a 7.4" 800p screen, so its not comparable to the horse power needed for a PC at 4K or something.
Most consoles end up around the same render res once you’ve accounted for checkerboarding, dynamic res and DLSS/FSR nonsense.
The deck also does shader pre-compilation and caching for games on steam so it often performs much better compared to a Windows PC with the same hardware for example.
Anything ray tracing is out of the question though as it uses AMD, not Nvidia.
I don’t play AAA games (nor know what new ones are there) - if you have a game in mind I could try it and report back?
The only game I tried that it really struggled with was NFS Unbound.
I was also able to do PS3 emulation on it, including Skate 3 and Motorstorm.
You can pirate on the deck. It’s like two extra steps compared to PC, but you can.
If you’re not a Linux weirdo there are subreddits and people have made it easy, though you do have to use desktop mode to download games afaik.
If you’re already a big linux weirdo, just ssh in and look at htop while playing any steam game in deck mode and figure out how the magic works yourself, trust me it’s a lot of fun and the thing is really nice to explore because it’s not locked down at all.

Steam deck. OLED. Linux. Not locked down to hell. Nuff said.
It is still a shock to me that some genius aliased curl to Invoke-WebRequest
and that curl.exe
is what you actually want.
Mixing the two philosophies of coreutils and unix bins and whatever is happening in PowerShell seems even more unholy to me than the phrase “object oriented result”, but different strokes.
I gave up on PowerShell on Windows as a plausible alternative to Bash on Linux the minute I realized there’s no real equivalent tocat
, there’s type
or if you hate yourself - Get-Content
which is aliased as cat
but doesn’t really work the same way.
If I can’t even very basically list a file irregardless of what’s in it, it’s just dead out of the gate.
On Linux, I once sent myself an MP3 from my server to my laptop with cat song.mp3 | base64 -w0 > /dev/tcp/10.10.10.2/9999
because I cba to send ssh keys.
I’ll give modern windows a few points - the new terminal emulator application is sweet, and having ssh makes it easy to login to remotely.
PowerShell is a strange programming language that makes me wish I was just writing C#.
Bash is a shell language. At its heart it’s a CLI, emphasis on the I, it’s the primary way of interacting with a computer, not a way to write programs. Even awk
is arguably better suited.
That’s why it neither needs to be verbose nor readable for complete beginners, you memorize it the same way you memorize where buttons are on a keyboard or what items you can expect in a right click context menu on Windows.
Most bash scripts people write are far too complex for it and could stand a rewrite in perl
or python
or heck, what I think actually works amazing as a “scripting language” - C.
Pretty fun (and funny) sci-fi story, the open source katana bit gave me unix surrealism vibes but then again what doesn’t these days.
What about ctrl+r to reverse search?
Versus:
man $commamd
PowerShell might be okay script syntax for people with uncorrected sight issues and the elderly who’s heart might not handle bash without set -e
but to be useful as a CLI shell prompt that is your primary way of interacting with the computer like it can be on Linux it needs to be so so so much shorter. I’ll be dead by the time I type out half the shit it’d be like 4 key presses total on Linux.
And that’s before you get to the issues of it being a whole object oriented and typed programming language with .NET whereas shell is nice universal text everywhere that can be piped around however you want.
There are even those absolute mad lads who unironically use PowerShell on Linux.
Learning the absolute basics of how to use tmux, vim, sed, awk and grep and pipes and redirects and the basics of handling stdin and stdout genuinely made me feel like all my life I was an NPC in the matrix and now I’m Neo just because passing around bits of text is so powerful when everything works on that basis.
That assumes that like-minded people exist in sufficient quantities to do this. If they do, why haven’t they voted already if they do? Why do they need to be told to do something or united at all when OP doesn’t? What’s different between them?
What’s one guy gonna do against 52% of Americans who came together in their communities and expressed the democratic will to choose Fascism?
Huh? What algorithm? Where?
Lemmy has no algorithm in the way that you mean it.
Which is to say: there are a number of sort options like “top”, “hot” or “scaled” which work purely on the basis of upvotes or downvotes and don’t involve the actual content within the posts whatsoever.
It also has no “suggested” or “for you” and no personalization or data harvesting, the sort being based purely on upvotes or downvotes also doesn’t artificially skew the content politically in any which way.
It’s also completely open source so if that changed, not only would people find out immediately, but they’d be able to fork it and undo the change and maintain their own version.
Any instance then using an unfair sort feature would be defederated from.
So I don’t understand what you mean at all to be honest.
I mean, statistically, you are, so am I, I’m very right to assume that unless stated otherwise.
Furthermore, almost no women at least in my personal experience have ever reported having travel experiences like yours, so I was doubly right to assume that you are a man.
And yet further, you also do not deny it therefore I’m going to assume I was correct and dismiss your experiences as not applying to me.
I will assume more because I assume that I assumed correctly and you just don’t like being called out, even though a reasonable person would probably just say that others’ experiences may vary.
I was also just being polite in saying “euro” instead of just saying “white” btw.
