Very compelling reason to switch to PieFed. But I’m very lazy and probably won’t get around to it for another year haha

I had to read until “manly man” to confirm it was satire

When plugged into a TV, yes.

On Wikipedia, his supposed instigation and popularization of circumcision is listed as a common misconception. It still looks like he supported the practice at some point though

Pretty sure it refers to a clip of the “intellectual” Ben Shapiro being afraid to say the word “pussy” when reading through the lyrics of the song and making misogynistic comments about it

Ah yes, everyone knows how “pwd” looks like “pussy” and definitely not “p-word”.

One thing to keep in mind with Framework is the price, for gaming it’s likely you’ll want a dedicated GPU which means an expensive Framework 16. Not including required parts that you can buy yourself like RAM and storage, you’ll be spending at least $1700.

The idea is that you will save money over time since you can upgrade individual components rather than the entire laptop, but the Framework 16 is still very expensive for the specs you’re getting. You’ll have to decide if this tradeoff for upfront price is worth it for the upgradability/repairability.

Personally, I have a Framework 13 that I recently upgraded from 12th gen Intel to Ryzen 300 series. I’ve also had issues with my laptop before and the support was excellent. It was nice that they were able to ship a replacement mainboard rather than requiring me to send in my whole laptop. So the upgrades and repairs are very real advantages on the Framework.

I used Kagi for a year then switched back to DDG after I had concerns with privacy. Where you can ensure DDG isn’t getting your data by using a trusted VPN and a fingerprint-resistant browser, you are forced into a “trust me bro” situation with Kagi due to the need to verify your account subscription. Kagi’s proposed solution for this is privacy pass, but this article calls that into question as well. Privacy pass must also prevent you from using the customization in Kagi due to the supposed privacy benefits, which takes more away from the reason you would use Kagi in the first place. I do find it odd how a proprietary paid search engine seems to get such a large amount of praise within privacy communities when there are fundamental challenges in making a paid search engine actually private.

PC load letter? What the fuck does that mean??

It seems to be pretty lighthearted to me personally. There might be some context that would make this a dick move but it doesn’t look that way based on this meme

😳

This is probably the most catchy soundtrack for me in any Nintendo game. I will put the Mario Kart Wii disc in just to go to the options menu and listen to this masterpiece.

I worked at a Topgolf for a little over a year, and it is incredible how much some companies will spend on corporate events there

Nice try. For people looking for the real link, it’s here.

What’s the source for this? Can’t seem to find details about this online.

I found this version to be much more tolerable: https://youtube.com/watch?v=oY9O-WbMxO0

You are correct, I should have done more research before stating that. However, the sales for first-party Switch games still seem much more hard-to-find as well as much less of a discount than when you compare to the PC market. For example, if you look at Super Mario Odyssey, the linked site lists an all-time low price of $29.49. Compare this to a AAA game released the same year, Horizon Zero Dawn, which can somewhat regularly be found for $12.49 on Steam. The Steam sales throughout the year also make it much easier to find PC games on sale, and as far as I’m aware the Switch doesn’t have something comparable. I just believe it’s much harder to find good deals on Nintendo games than the vast majority of other publishers, which is why the high price tag is hard to justify for many.
