I thought that clicking on “Continue reading” would also send me to a sign up page as usual, so I just read it through the pop up margin while scrolling lol

I use a GTX 970, I can play most games just fine.

It’s not Windows performance, Cyberpunk 2077 for instance was quite more unstable for me on Arch and it took quite a bit of tweaking to be able to launch it (it’s a miracle that I can even play Cyberpunk with a 970 in both cases :P). Generally though I’ve had a pretty good experience, most games play out of the box with good performance, and I get to daily drive Linux finally

It can run yeah, but it’s not a playable performance at all. A friend of mine played a bit of Cyberpunk with a 1050 on Windows, all the latest drivers and a relatively good build other than the graphics card, but he quickly got tired from running it with 20-30 FPS (all settings on low with 720p)

I don’t fully agree with absolving the blame on the people for this because the middle class struggles. It takes a real idiot to fall for the same traps that people fell for back in the two world wars, how fucking hard is it to connect the dots?

If the world comes to shit again, I’ll feel no sympathy for them, because despite their obviously poor education, they are bad at being humans as well. The one thing that the far-right loves more than anything is dividing people and creating “bad guys” in order to redirect the hatred and pain of the people, but when all the other “bad guys” are killed off / locked up/ slaved, then only they will remain to take up the role.

Except if you happen to be in one of the minorities they are targeting.

Here is a quote that will probably go over your head, but I’ll post it regardless in the hopes that you’re better than the rest of the far-right voters:

<pre style="background-color:#ffffff;">
<span style="color:#323232;">First they came for the Communists
</span><span style="color:#323232;">And I did not speak out
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Because I was not a Communist
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Then they came for the Socialists
</span><span style="color:#323232;">And I did not speak out
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Because I was not a Socialist
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Then they came for the trade unionists
</span><span style="color:#323232;">And I did not speak out
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Because I was not a trade unionist
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Then they came for the Jews
</span><span style="color:#323232;">And I did not speak out
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Because I was not a Jew
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Then they came for me
</span><span style="color:#323232;">And there was no one left
</span><span style="color:#323232;">To speak out for me
</span>

In that case sorry, it just seemed like you’re defending that rhetoric

an extremely ineffective marketing strategy

I wouldn’t say so, I’m not so much into buying lots of things and spending money, and I put thought behind my every purchase, but there are still quite a few purchases I’ve made because of ads.

I didn’t regret them, but it shows that ads do work occasionally, or more often depending on the person.
