Jesus-efffing-Christ so adding on top of their pathetic interface to change address and/or add a phone to get a SALES call, I ended up using the live chat, who requested to call me on the phone, who called me to just act as gatekeeper of "why do you need a paid account..." before passing me over to a cloud engineer (not sure why I need that just to change from free to paid) like...da...fuck, I'm putting money on your pocket, does it matter why? It's none of your business, just make it a paid account.
What a waste of my time.
EDIT: To make matters worse, the nosy sales agent, just sends me back to the live-chat to talk with the cloud engineer but instead of passing me with them, he just closes the chat. I've been here 20-minutes you idiot. Now I need to start from scratch again.
Stumbled upon someone who seemed completely opposed to the idea of federation and the fediverse. Like, if you are opposed to federation then why are you on here? They seemed to be pretty confused about what the fediverse is all about and likely joined due to misleading advertisements.
@Otome@kbin.social there's definitely been a disconnect between people who just want a reddit alternative and the intended audience of the fediverse i.e. people who want a decentralised internet. I'd wager that a lot of people who left reddit would have happily gone to another social media giant if it had the features they wanted.
There's been a lot of discussion about how the russian population looks at the war. Surely they oppose it, right? Nobody with an IQ over room temperature would ever want war? Wrong. The russians want war. Why? Because they have been told for years that the evil west is trying to destroy them. Of course they believe it. Propaganda can be extremely effective. The russians would support the war even if they had a choice. The 'will of the public' isn't supressed. It's controlled.
@realsimon people forget that the majority of the US population (and to some degree the populations of most western nations) supported the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq with the same zeal
I can’t overstate how cool it is to have my own SteamOS “console”, under my TV. Might not feel like it’s a game changer, but being able to play my Steam games on Linux, on my TV, at high resolutions and details, with a controller friendly interface, it’s just… magical.
Haven’t really touched the PS5 since 😅
Plus, I can resume my games on the Steam Deck when I’m outside, or in bed. It feels like a complete ecosystem, and I love it. Now I want a Steam Controller 2, please.
TIL that you should never pour grease down a kitchen drain.
It didn't just clog the sink. It clogged the line to the sewer. No toilet would flush. No washer would drain. And the smell...
