13 Democrats in Congress signed onto a pledge to “reject socialism” today. Combined, they’ve raked in a whopping $10,088,996 from the Israel lobby. Nothing moderate about that. Should we tally up their Big Tech donations next?

A “promise to America” to oppose literally every single policy the people want

[Achmat Akkad @BlackIntifada]

Natural disasters really expose the world's caste system, which ranks human life by nationality. We watch the world stop when tragedy hits the US or Europe, while hundreds and even thousands killed in floods, fires, and earthquakes in Iran, Venezuela, and Congo barely make news.

Pirated movies are yours forever (till your HD gets corrupted).
No corporation can delete them on their whim. There is very little moral ground to oppose piracy when buying is not owning.

Support piracy. Support physical media.

I don’t personally need a Steam Machine. I already have a desktop PC and I’m comfortable building and maintaining my own hardware. So this isn’t coming from someone defending a product I want for myself.

That said, a lot of the criticism seems to come from a place of elitism, even if it’s not always intended that way. Comments like “just build it yourself” often assume that everyone has the time, interest, knowledge, and desire to research parts, build a system, deal with potential issues, and optimize performance and thermals. For many people that simply isn’t the case.

According to Valve’s latest Steam Hardware Survey, the majority of Steam users are still running RTX 30-series GPUs or older. RTX 40 and 50-series cards combined only make up roughly 25-30% of the user base. When people argue that you can easily build something much better for less money, they’re often speaking from an enthusiast perspective rather than reflecting what most Steam gamers actually have or want.

Building something meaningfully better than the Steam Machine in a similar small form factor is also more expensive than many seem to realize. A realistic Mini-ITX/SFF build with a RTX 5070 Ti or 5080, 32GB DDR5, good cooling, and a quality SFX power supply currently sits in the $1900–2300+ range in parts alone. Small form factor components carry a premium, and current GPU and memory prices make high-performance compact builds noticeably more expensive.

Recent testing from Gamers Nexus showed that the Steam Machine can handle most modern AAA titles reasonably well at 1080p and 1440p with sensible settings and FSR upscaling. It only really struggles in demanding ray tracing workloads. For what it is - a compact living room PC - that level of performance is perfectly usable for many people.

It’s also worth noting that the Steam Machine has reportedly already sold out in Japan, even though official sales numbers aren’t available yet. Japan tends to value small form factors and living room gaming, so early sell-outs there indicate real demand for this type of device.

The Steam Machine isn’t trying to be a high-end custom gaming PC. It’s a finished, compact system with official support, designed for people who want easy access to their Steam library on the TV without having to build or optimize anything themselves. That comes with clear compromises in raw performance and upgradability, but it also removes a lot of the hassle that comes with building and maintaining a small form factor PC.

For the right person - someone who values convenience, size, and simplicity over maximum performance per dollar - it makes sense. For people who enjoy building and already have a capable desktop, it’s probably not the right choice. Both can be true at the same time.

To every gringo who spoke over Venezuelans, telling us Maduro is our hero, claiming the murders were all propoganda & the real evil is the states

Your silence over this disaster is loud. You never gave a single fuck about Venezuelans.

Всем противникам социализма предлагаю начать с себя - жить как в в Великобритании и в Европе 19 века. Отказываетесь от 8 часового рабочего графика и ебашите на заводах по 20 часов в сутки, 4 часа спите на на верёвках за оплату в 2 пенса.

Estas imágenes son de Pyongyang, capital de Corea del Norte, en 1954, la cual fue arrasada casi en toda su totalidad por los ataques aéreos de EEUU, que destruyeron el 75% de la ciudad y la dañaron en más de un 90%.

EEUU destruyó hasta el 85% de los edificios en Corea del Norte, les lanzó 635.000 toneladas de bombas al pais (32.557 toneladas de napalm) y asesinó a más de 2,5 millones de coreanos, usaron hasta armas biológicas y desplegaron incluso aviones equipados con armas nucleares.

EEUU exterminó a más del 20% de la población de Corea del Norte en 1953... pero los locos y el malo de la película es Corea del Norte por tener precaución y armarse hasta los dientes para que esto no vuelva a ocurrir, así manipulan la historia.

Niggas losing jobs

Environment already was shit being made worse. Because of data centers

Energy bills going up

Video game consoles getting more expensive 3-5 years after they drop.

Electronics in general are expensive

Ai aint worth all this shit, man. Idc what yall say.

[☧rivateer ☦️🐧 @TheosisQuest]

My favorite thing about the steam machine is that it’s revealed how absolutely brain dead 99% of consumers in the PC and gaming market are. No wonder Triple A hasn’t been good in almost 20 years.

>system designed explicitly for 1080p gaming as stated by Valve themselves
>doesn't run game full speed when Linus Sex Tips runs game at 4x that resolution
>apparently this means it sucks

the steam machine discourse has devolved to basically a scott the woz clip

[ducholog @ducholog]

With almost double the performance, triple the noise, quadruple the power consumption, quintiple the space and half the built-in features.

Apparently all techtubers reached levels of tunnel vision stupidity seen only among Rockstar apologists doing RDR2 comparison shorts.

[alpha @omarsbigsister]

Reminder it's been stopped MULTIPLE TIMES because of *major* pushback.

Yes we should do more but until one of yall organize and come up with something, calling reps in mass numbers is the best thing. We have the numbers but aren't utilizing them.
