  • Yep. Most people don’t know most of our debt is held by US citizens, which is actually beneficial sometimes. The government gets to spend money now and then they pay these people, with interest, in the future. Ideally they spend that internally, promoting more growth. As long as there’s growth it’s a positive effect.

    However, this post (not the comment above) specifies foreign debt holders. For some reason the media only talks about this, not domestic holders, I guess because it sounds scary.



  • Approachability. Valve is a recognizable name and the Steam Deck is notoriously usable in the sea of Linux uncertainty.

    It’s very usable for a handheld gaming platform. It really isn’t any better for a desktop platform. The thing that makes it so usable is that you boot it and it boots into Steam Big Picture, and you don’t see the desktop. Most users never will. Is that how people are going to want their desktop to work though? Probably not. They probably don’t want to only use Steam. They probably want to use other applications too.







  • Hey man, cis doesn’t mean anything besides you identify with your given gender at birth. Just like male/female are useful terms for communication, we have a term for that. In fact, cis isn’t even just for that. It’s just Latin meaning you’re in the same side of something. For example: cisalpine, meaning on this side of the alps (the side of Italy). No reasonable person would be offended by the term. It’s been used for over 100 years in this way. The only reason to be offended is if you’re told to be offended.

    -sincerely: a cis-gendered man
