AOC is a member of the democrats, she’s not independent, she runs for democrats.

If a “good” guy running for republicans were to show up everyone would still give him shit for being a member of the red party, the same should apply for the democrats party.

Political suicide doesn’t mean shit, you are not going to die running as an independent at worst you are not getting featured in mainstream medias because these are centralized and rigged and only talk and give exposure to certain politicians.

Aoc keep using twitter and doesn’t have a mastodon account, to me it looks like this person doesn’t have any intention to change the system and it’s actually benefiting from it.

If lemmy devs had used the “political suicide” logic they would be working at reddit trying to make it less evil and you wouldn’t be here.

If their plan is to block future US military aid to israel why are they running for a party that vowed to give israel whatever it needs?

This mission will at least help bring space and science back into the mainstream and shut down flat earther kooks.

If you want to bring space and science back into the mainstream you want to fix media not to make useless space missions.

Absolutely worth it. This is a test mission equivalent to something like apollo 8. A dry run for going to the moon and actually landing it.

land on the moon to do what? You said it’s absolutely worth it so i expect you to absolutely know what this mission is about.

What’s the purpose of this mission? Are the resources spent on the mission and the pollution caused by it worth the purpose?

running game without a bunch of garbage

Steam is part of the garbage, you don’t really need a third party launcher to run a software.

Microsoft just got into the video game selling business

In the past years microsoft made big and aggressive acquisitions in the videogames industry like bethesda and blizzard. The new xbox portable which is a direct competitor to the steam deck doesn’t have cd anymore, the only way to get games is through microsoft store.

Valve is winning because the average gamer doesn’t care much about owning his videogames.

it doesn’t just do nothing,

Valve is a for profit company, one of their main goals is to make money and they work daily to do that. There are people at Valve who work 8h a day on how to boost profits.

People love to shit on valve working on lootboxes, but I was there to see how it developed. It was there as part of a way of getting money back to the people making stuff, which is why a shitload of the TF2 hats came from the community and steam workshop. The system came from a left wing greek economist, before , you know, he BECAME Minister of Finance for greece (for half a year)

I think you are confusing lootboxes with the items market which was there mainly to compensate the free to play model. If you were there i hope you remember too no DRMs and no third party software launchers to run games.

This is why they have steam OS

They have steam OS because microsoft become one of their competitors

Remember that you are on Lemmy: a decentralized and open source platform owned by the community.

Steam is a proprietary, closed source, for profit third party software launcher owned by a billionaire.

they have dozen of these

Not huge maybe but for what i care a big smack in the face to this open source and decentralized platform.

It takes 2 minutes to create an account on the fediverse, they are not interested in that, they are on youtube for the profits.

What redemption? Where are his fediverse channels at?

And having a youtube video on lemmy frontpage is a huge ad for google and a missed opportunity for an open alternative to become more popular
