This is a sentiment that is just generally garnering traction in Europe as a whole I think.

I don't even think it's about hurting the US/Trump as much as people just have a renewed interest to support "local" business as a result of recent events.

I pump the brakes with the swearing if I'm around kids, complete strangers, or people I know really take offense to it, i'm honestly not trying to be rude on purpose.

But other than that, no. I swear a lot and have no intention to lessen that. It's an excellent coping mechanism for stress and it doesn't hurt anybody or, in fact, anything.

Replacing it with things like "what the cluck" would only add to the anger I feel in the moment because I think that's horribly cringe.

Cyberpunk (and Witcher 3) already runs, and honestly way better then I expected, on my steam deck. They even have a specific graphics setting to accommodate for it's obviously limited hardware, so CDPR are also aware people play their games on the steam deck as evidenced by this graphics setting.

Steamdeck is linux. Obviously this proton translation layer that is being leveraged is very capable.

For all intents and purposeses, CDPR is already where they need to be for half-decent Linux support and honestly I don't understand why they didn't already draw that last sprint that would be required to fully support this.

“Oh you built this house with one of our hammers, so it’s ours actually.”

The problem with companies like for example Adobe over let's say DeWalt is that they actually have a pretty strong grip on it's target market.

If there was only one company that made tools to build houses i'm sure eventually they'd try to pull the same crap if they could get away with it.

You can totally see the same kind of walled garden thinking in things like battery platforms for powertools. Most people buy into a brand and never go elsewhere.

I've definitely posted images in comments on Reddit.

I knew this was his endgame. Prepare to go full "Minority Report".

Yeah. People in a manual definately don't ever do that.

It doesn't free up time no but it does make driving ever so slightly less involved.

Controls on a drill have a clear practical purpose, and to my knowledge they don't make them that do that automatically in a reasonable price range. I would totally buy that if they did. ;-)

You'll never catch me doing something that can be automated away, this includes shifting gears in a car.

But a car is just a tool to me, like a cordless drill, so i'm sure I don't get it.
