the truth is that American coffee has become so ubiquitous that it is the base line of what coffee is and anything else is pointed out as an oddity.

What an insane statement. The two methods of brewing that you stated are considered some of the worst methods in modern coffee brewing. Percolation, while producing a strong brew, suffers from a large amount of ground coffee making it into the final cup. And drip coffee, while producing a cup of coffee, leaves a lot to be desired since theres a lack of flavors extracted through the process.

Siphon coffee brewers existed long before percolation, with the Moka pot being one of the most ubiquitous, and still used to this day.

Turkish coffee produces some of the best tasting coffee but also suffers from the grounds leftover in the cup.

All of this is to say Americanized coffee may have gotten more people into coffee, but it didn’t do anything to innovate the brewing process. These processes have been refined and proven long before Americans started brewing coffee.

Biological sex != gender. There’s not even 2 classes of biological sex. There are men born with biological female organs and women born with biologically men’s organs. We all as humans do share common organs, one of which happens to be the nipple.

Regardless of what your actual biological sex is a gender is simply a social construct used to identify someone. A person who is “non-binary” feels that their gender does not conform to what you would typically expect of either male or female based on appearances or behavior.

I don’t see why these hardware manufacturers think they can just shit out handhelds and then call it a day. Valve spent so much time in R&D with steam os trying to make an actual usable mobile interface for the deck, and they’ve so far done an outstanding job doing that.

For example, on the deck if you run into an issue, say for example an app crashes. No problem, just press the home button and exit the game. Worst comes to worse you just restart steam (you can now restart steam instead of rebooting the entire device).

On a windows device, especially something like this, if your game crashe, unless the device has an overlay that allows you to force close the game you’d have to plug in a keyboard to alt tab. If the overlay app crashes then you’d absolutely need a keyboard.

There’s just so many issues that can arise that will understandably piss off the user trying to use these devices to simply play games, but issues happen and windows is the absolute least mobile friendly OS to use on the market.

I feel like these manufacturers expect the hardware power alone to sell the device, but the secret to valve’s success has mostly been with Steam OS and not necessarily the deck hardware itself.

Im guessing they see it as voting for a woman is submissive because you’re acknowledging that a woman has more power than you, whereas marrying a woman means the man has power over the woman.

overconsumption of wasteful products like this is what’s destroying this fucking world.

The 2020 election was questioned by republicans for months after it concluded. Many investigations were made and found ZERO evidence of interference. If anything, some republicans were charged in a handful of states for election interference crimes.

Questioning an election is one thing, but outright denying the results even after all the evidence suggests that no interference/meddling occurred sets a precedence for future candidates that they can cause chaos in the system by just constantly claiming elections are rigged, eventually causing distrust of the entire system by voters who will just assume that their votes don’t matter because the decision has already been set.

I believe if you are attempting to discredit an election, not because of the potential for foul play, but because you are just upset that you or your candidate of choice lost, and you attempt to destabilize the democratic system in order to achieve your goal, that is treason/sedition and should be a crime that is delt with a severe penalty.

Even if it burts, what’s stopping investment companies from just gobbling up whatevers left and then repeat the same cycle?

Bro its bad enough they got these shitty wood “luxury” apartment buildings that have like half inch thick walls, no one wants that shit on a massive scale. I’m all for more housing but fuck shared living spaces.

What do you mean you can’t come up with a transportation solution to transport millions of people around at any given moment that’s more convenient than them being able to travel to their destinations on their own without a long schedule?

In case I need it, /s.

I don’t like this line of thinking because especially now where new games seem to always suffer from performance issues, it lowers the bar that these developers feel like they’d need to set as far as the experience they’re offering for their games.

I think the minimum standard should be at least 60fps, in cases with steam deck and other low-end hardware of course concessions must be made, so either lower graphics settings or deal with lower framerates.

But there’s no reason a new game should be suffering poor framerates on modern desktop hardware (looking at you Dragons Dogma 2).

Every linux user on lemmy

Imagine doing this and just being able to quit your job, meanwhile a citizen would be arrested and charged with a felony.

There’s a huge hate bandwagon for Manjaro and I don’t really understand it. I don’t consider myself a linux expert and maybe that’s why but I felt like Manjaro was very accessible to someone new to Linux who wanted to use Arch. You have the ability to install what you need while also having a relatively stable system. I enjoyed that it came with software that I would normally be using but I know there’s a lot of diehards who want just Linux and to install things themselves, in that case they should just use plain Arch or Endeavor, but I think for others Manjaro is perfectly fine.

Minecraft has a pokemon mod, wonder where nintendo lawyers were with that one?

How is it that the pokemon mod for minecraft never received such pushback from nintendo, but this modder gets DMCA’d on the spot? Fair use should cover using characters. There’s plenty of games that re-use characters as mods (look at skyrim and all the ridiculous mods that import characters from other franchises).

All this copyright nonsense over a free mod is just a waste of resources.

The state that won’t let you pump your own gas everyone.

Bruh that psp knockoff looks like straight garbage to use compared to the deck.

Oh no! My toxic masculinity!

I dont get your point about “Just don’t buy it” not working.

If consumers didnt think it was a fair price, then they wouldn’t buy it. People can live without a videogame, it’s not like this is a big pharma company raising prices on a life-saving drug.
