I literally never use that and don't understand why anyone would want to. All of the filters I create are created manually (other than spam). When it comes to those, Proton is leaps and bounds better, mostly because Gmail filter creation is just shockingly awful.

It helps that I try to get away from email as much as is humanly possible, in general. Anything that would fall in a "social" category I would expect to get via browser or app notifications, if at all.

Anything "promotional" would never make it into my inbox in the first place. Blogs and similar publications are subscribed to and read via RSS.

If a person asks for my email address I ask them to text me.

I use Proton Mail purely as an act of malicious compliance.

Glad we sorted that out.

I think you misunderstood.

I didn't.

It will anything whether it should or not.

It does what it's told, which is the way an OS should work.

It can be made to execute a payload that shouldn't be run.

And Linux can't? Isn't that the whole thing about Linux and open software is that it can be made to do whatever you want?

Having an app store is easier than expecting people to download things from the internet

...how exactly do you think the app store works?

Do you just not realize that Windows and Mac also have app stores?

Yeah this is everything the Steam Deck is not:

1. Crazy expensive
2. Disposable/unrepairable
3. Windows trash
4. Chinese gobbledygook company that will disappear from existence in 6 months

Pixels have reached price parity with iPhones, which is wild to me considering the insane amount of additional value Google is getting out of you over Apple. You could even form an argument that they're far more expensive.

I mean they squeezed all the blood from that orange. Not that that ever stopped Ubisoft...

This isn't the sea. There are no waves LOL

That's not how you install stuff on Linux normally

It's not how you "normally" install stuff on Windows or Mac either. But often times the software you need isn't available in a package manager. If everything was available as a flatpak I would take it all back, but that doesn't even remotely resemble reality.

I find that faster and easier than using a GUI

It is neither of those things. Objectively.

the GUI option is there and dead simple and easy for people who can't be asked to learn how to use the most basic tools on their computer.

The phrase you're looking for is "can't be arsed" but you're wrong anyway. The problem is not that we "can't be arsed", the problem is that it's an unnecessarily convoluted and unintuitive process.

The verification system is not remotely accurate. It probably does more harm than good. Valve should have made it crowdsourced like protondb because they're obviously unable to keep up, and I don't know why they thought they would be.

Further, they failed to establish any concrete guidelines on frame rate for their ratings.

Shit, they could have crowdsourced the data from user devices.

I see.

But you can do all of that with an app on your local device.
