    Ah, you ran into neckbeards. This is a typical interaction with them. They are afraid because they are finally in a position of power digitally whereas in real life, nobody cares about them. Honestly, ask LLMs https://chat.mistral.ai/ or something else.

    I have Linux but am a casual user and my experience with Linux users has been nothing short of terrible. Before LLMs, I had to either find the answer on some *overflow website, the ubuntu forums, or just give up and move on. Now, LLMs help me out more than humans ever did. LLMs don’t tell you you’re stupid, they don’t ridicule your question, they don’t ridicule you. Of course they can be dangerous if they give you bad commands, but so can humans.

    If you must talk to humans online to get help, what I’ve seen work is to tell them they are wrong and that your solution works 100%. Some neckbeard will show up, call you stupid, and give the solution. And if that doesn’t work, just ridicule them and say it didn’t work, which means your solution is the right one. It’ll make them try to prove you wrong even harder 🤷

    Uh… gamers are the so weak, they buy anything that’s shiny enough. Games by big studios pushing out shiny crap still make millions. Gamers can’t stop buying skins and will have wars about them too. EA, Blizzard, RockStar Games, Ubisoft, and many other companies are still huge companies because gamers barely care. Only once in a while do they massively reject large games.

    Only about 1.2M EU gamers even cared to sign in the EU initiative to Stop Killing Games. There are 450M EU citizens. There are way more EU gamers than just 1.2M and the vast majority didn’t care enough to sign an initiative in their own interest.

    RAM makers are safe. Gamers will just give in and pay 3k+ for a gaming rig with welded on RAM (or whatever shit it is crApple does to make their devices unupgradeable).

    The problem with such venues is that they are also difficult to find. The major problem is that you need to know of them to even find out what’s going on. They are on Instagram, facebook, and other social media, but if I go to a city and search for shows, the majority of venues won’t be found. Sometimes it’s a choice to stay cool, hip, underground, or whatever, but if so, they can’t complain about falling revenue.

    What I especially don’t understand is why these venues aren’t on opensource stuff:

    All of this would make it easier for them to be found, interact with them, and even support them.
