You should try it now, they made it into so much more than promised it’s actually insane, and they keep going

I mean, they absolutely did at the time. They atoned for their transgression and redeemed themselves several times over though.

The big part is also well-meaning people not voting. There are more of those well-meaning people by volume, and they could’ve easily prevented all that, but they for one reason or another decided not to do that

*they

They don’t owe the requester any consideration.

That’s not true, but would be bad if it was. Communication always should be two-way considerate, otherwise we will quickly descend to hell.

Regardless it’s not unreasonable to expect you to your fucking ducks in a row before you bother people.

It’s also not unreasonable to expect that you’ll be able to quickly answer if you’re open to communication.

You’re going to have to provide the information anyway.

Or don’t if it’s time sensitive and you’re not answering. Context, nuances, remember?

Yeah, well, in which case reading five words is even less of a task, and if it’s a struggle for you go finish fifth grade.
Everyone is entitled to their own time, you’re not the center of the universe. Right now you’re way past a normal consideration, you’re demanding that everyone sacrifices all the convenience however small, so you don’t have to sacrifice any.
If you’re busy af, you can respond “busy right now, sorry”, we just discovered that typing takes no time so it’s OK. If you’re busy but not that busy, and someone asks do you have some time, you can always answer “depends, what’s the question?”, which also takes no time from you, so it’s OK once again.
That’s the whole thing about two-way communication, it’s actually as flexible as people are, which is just great if you’re one of those peoples. Personally, I chose to be maximally considerate, and I always type as much as possible so there is as little mental effort required on the other side of the conversation. But that’s because I’m a no-life shmuck, and I (maybe actually in big part because of that) doesn’t actually value my time and it’s not worth much. If I had any self-respect, I would be way more pushy about my time, and there would be times where I start conversation with “hi, can you talk right now?” instead of two paragraphs of formatted text

If you look at it from other perspective, typing the whole paragraph of details just to be ghosted can also feel disrespectful as fuck, while “Hi, can you talk right now?” is actually pretty normal.
There is no easy and universal answer, it’s all depends on context and the situation, just like anything else in human communication.

The objectively correct from a selfish perspective here, is to send “ping” and only type out the whole request if you respond. Yeah, it will make you wait, but it will save me time and mental effort at typing all that, knowing that it’s all for nothing if you will not respond in time.
The correct answer here is to do “Hi, need to talk to you about [thing], are you available right now?”, but it’s technically speaking only one step above this hateful “Hi”

You assume that everyone is replaceable and you can just message whatever to whomever.

It’s a handshake. If you’re out of the office or otherwise can’t respond, it saves them from typing the whole message, they can do it only if they know you’re responding.
It’s still offloading the inconvenience to you a bit, but at least it’s rational for them

A long time ago I visited Athens in January, it was relatively warm, but those oranges weren’t sour as they suppose to be, they were bitter, which I actually love. They are amazing at giving you this jolt of energy when you walk the mountains.

This happens in low trust societies with scarce resources and even scarcer empathy as the result. Also known as “that’s why we cant’ have nice things”. However, not only it’s absolutely not universal, I don’t believe it’s even the majority

The unified number of combined points (what is refereed as Karma) doesn’t exist on Lemmy. There is some point system comment-by-comment, but it’s not unified. You can’t farm what doesn’t exist.
A bit more than a semantics, isn’t it?

Lemmy doesn’t have karma

Imagine how insufferable Dilbert dude actually is (was! forgot about this delightful fact). You ask him to pass the salt, he goes into this long tirade in this mocking voice, about how he’s the only capable person in the room and all the stupid femoids are too woke to even get their own salt, and if you roll your eyes he will get angry and throw a tantrum.

SteamOS is an Arch Linux, basically, with some stuff pre-installed. The only big difference is that it’s installed in immutable mode, but even that is not a big deal

It’s not set in stone. They have money, they have demand. Scaling production is a bitch and a half, but it’s not impossible to do

It’s not a direct competitor, but they occupy the same niche while being a vastly superior product.

It’s a comparatively new product, but it’s not like it’s something unsuccessful. It’s attached to Steam, that everyone who ever had a computer knows about, and everyone has a couple of games there, it’s being talked about very positively everywhere, and they’re repeatedly gained positive reputation over pro-consumer practices they regularly employ, and they somehow evading being put on blast for the child gambling industry they operate.
They’re known among gamers, which is indeed niche crowd, but also a crowd that is important here. They don’t have the cultural grasp on humanity as Nintendo, or other two, but all of them shitting the bed constantly and publicly, while Valve is catching wins all over the place.

Not exactly, but overlap is significant. A bunch of people want Nintendo because they always did Nintendo and that’s all they know, a bunch of people know that switch is something that kids want and so they get one, sure. But a bunch of people want to play some games lying on a couch or riding a metro or sitting in a queue at a dentist, and those people will at least google what exists on the market. This is an overlapped audience, and for a lot of them steam deck will be the obviously better choice.
