I’m in shock at the pure stupidity here. Reading 600 posts and rate limited unless you pay. That’s a few minutes scrolling for anyone following a good amount of people. #Twitter

Liam

I’m thinking a lot of people somehow paid for more subscriptions to their YouTube channels. When I see channels with more than double what @gamingonlinux has with comparable views a lot, it doesn’t add up.

Random “security” company: Hey we found some really minor security improvements you can do on @gamingonlinux here’s the details.

Me: cool thanks a lot, nice ideas, done.

Company: we know more but won’t tell you unless you pay us

Me: blocked

Liam

@gamingonlinux there’s a lot of these types around, suckering any website in with really really minor stuff then trying to rinse you for money on apparent other issues. It’s a gross way to do business.

Liam

People on Reddit are so unnecessarily hostile.

Person: game works perfectly
Me: you don’t see issues?
Person: actually yeah controller input doesn’t work in any menu

….

And now I’m getting downvoted and name called, for trying to get the right info. People are such bastards online.

@ThePlant I always feel that people forgett that there is another person sitting on the other side of the internet.

United States radio host Bernard Meltzer is accredited with the following quote:

> “Before you speak ask yourself if what you are going to say is true, is kind, is necessary, is helpful."

I feel like that is an excellent base line for commenting.

Running @gamingonlinux can be so frustrating.

I get Native port zealots dumping into comments on articles about games in Proton, and desktop-only people moaning in comments on dedicated Steam Deck articles.

Why do people feel the need to comment and whine about something not aimed at them 😫

For people who prefer a Reddit-like and plan to try Lemmy turns out I’m still a moderator for the #Linux gaming sub lemmy.ml/c/linux_gaming

Liam

I hope with all the issues surrounding Reddit that people think a little more about traditional forums again. Handing so much knowledge and power over to one site like that is asking for trouble.

Remember for all your #Linux gaming to post on @gamingonlinux 😘

Moderating @gamingonlinux can be difficult at times. Some people really cannot handle being warned on bad behaviour.

Sent a warning to someone privately to not tell other users to “go back to Windows”.

User claimed censorship and deleted their account 🤷‍♂️👋

Liam

So freaking tired of native Linux zealots coming along to @gamingonlinux articles just to moan or announce they won’t buy a game because it’s not native.

Jeezus fuck it’s annoying.

Liam

@gamingonlinux The only platform where gamers will refuse to click play, and announce to everyone, because of what it’s using behind the scenes. So frustrating. Proton is almost 5 years old, you can just hit play and enjoy yourself. But no, must complain.

Liam

I simply do not understand spammers. The @gamingonlinux mailbox gets so much utter shite all about Chinese manufacturing that is so utterly pointless.

Liam

Hey #Linux fans, why do you use it on your desktops?

I'm not a FOSS purist and frankly, the zealot attitude of some in the Linux community really bothers me. I use Linux because it feels like I actually own it, it's mine, it's more personal, I don't have a company constantly trying to force things on me. It just feels better.

Liam

Just a message to thank everyone for following and supporting @gamingonlinux for all these years.

It’s such a wonderful privilege to be able to do something I love for a living, especially over the last couple years where times have been tough. Much love all.

Liam

How the heck do you enable showing file size in the #KDE Plasma File Picker? Either I’m blind or it’s not easy to find.

Liam

Upgraded to #Fedora 38 and it no longer boots up. Gets stuck on the motherboard logo after grub 💀

A quick google later, redid nvidia drivers and now it boots properly. Ffs nvidia as always.

Liam

Think I’m going to buy the replacement fan for one of my #SteamDeck. The high pitch noise in one has begun to annoy me more over time.

Liam

I got bored again and made this account so hi i run @gamingonlinux
