This isnt about competition, its about safety standards and not having literal death traps on our roads. Like another comment said, look at how many chinese brands with word salad names there are on amazon, now imagine that but with cars. If people are buying these and importing them into the USA it could put many lives at risk since they wouldn't be following our safety standards for vehicle manufacturing.

stop criticizing people who don’t want to vote when their promised „democracy” is terrible and even worse.

How exactly do you think a democratic election that runs on votes is supposed to work? What exactly is not voting going to do, other than ensure that the folks who are voting for the candidate that is more inclined to do more damage to this country wins?

Even if you dislike both candidates, not voting isn't going to fix anything. Vote for whoever is least likely to destroy the country and make it hell for certain people, and then focus your efforts locally and trying to inspire change on the local level.

How about we just not use people's personal identities for image generation at all?

anon232 , 3 months ago to Steam Deck in I used to be a frame rate snob but owning a Steam Deck has made me realise the error of my ways

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).

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.

How does this compare to the stilosa? Currently that's what I'm using with a JX pro grinder. I've been trying to find a good upgrade but nothing seems to really catch my eye for the money.
