If you didn't know, CoMaps has a desktop Linux and macOS version! I believe GNOME Maps (also on Linux) recently got better offline maps support too
I would imagine that it's the easiest for the model to produce. Bold colours, clear and distinct shapes, that sort.
It doesn't help that the companies have scraped the entire internet (which is a can of worms in terms of both legality and ethics) and then some, so it will mimic the advertising strategies employed everywhere (again, bold colours, clear shapes, etc.)
Honestly the actual hardware is very competent for the price, and a lot of the technologies Valve is showing off (foveated streaming, Windows PC games on ARM Linux VR, etc.) are awesome!
It's more how people are comparing the price to the heavily subsidised Meta doodad that is less open, has similar or worse specs (especially when it comes to streaming it seems), and is owned by Meta (selling your eyeballs to advertisers is not something I would like to do personally)
More people who kiss the toes of dictators. Those who ignore the atrocities of Stalin and similarly despicable figures, "tankie" as in the tanks used to silence civilian protests
Anarchists are far left, but they would be very insulted if you called them tankies (their whole thing is anti-authoritarianism!)
People who love authoritarianism and intentionally skip over their atrocities, the term "tankie" refers to how the military (tanks) were used to crush the rebellions of many authoritarian regimes, notably, the Hungarian uprising in 1956 being crushed by the Warsaw Pact and the Tianamen square massacre in 1989 by the PRC.
It's usually used to refer to supporters of the Soviet Union, Cuba, North Korea, etc. who deny all the bad, inhuman things about those states.
My littlest brother still loves replaying Titanfall 2 on the PS4
The PS4 (the original)! I used to love playing on the Wii as a kid during "social skills class", which I attended because I was diagnosed with Asperger's (now part of the autistic spectrum), but we never had one at home.
Hooray for emulation! PS2 and GameCube were a golden age for gaming, and the DS/3DS catalogue is unfathomably large.
I just convinced a friend to use Piefed, hooray!
Their main draw was the search on Piefed being soooo good
I don't think we need to dedicate a holiday to some racist guy. Strokes the ego of the racists too much in my opinion.
We should also abolish the birthdays of monarchs as holidays for similar reasons.
If you define a stupid question as one where discussion is difficult or even impossible, then no, this is not a stupid question. Questions are meant to provoke debate and communication of differing ideas, and this is exactly what is happening now.
A true stupid question would be like asking if guns can kill people. Of course guns kill people, there is no discussion about this. A better question could be how we should regulate guns and ways to avoid placing them in the wrong hands.
The 11th of November is Remembrance day (the whole minute of silence on the 11th minute, hour, day, and month thing was a big thing at my old school)
11/11 is also a big holiday in East Asia, Pocky Day in Japan, Peppero Day in Korea (both because of the resemblance to the tasty stick biscuits), and Singles Day in China (the 1s represent unmarried individuals), all three of which are huge shopping days for Asian malls (similar to Black Friday, but combined with the hyper consumerism of the Asian markets)
Definitely in favour of abandoning the celebration of some old monarch's birthday.
