Huh I haven’t tried the search, but otherwise haven’t noticed any of those problems - one of the reasons I like it more than discord is actually how much more responsive and less bloated it is. I use element as a client and a smaller homeserver, but even messaging people from other homeservers it’s been very solid for me. Sorry to hear your experience with it has been worse
What makes it terrible? I’ve been really enjoying it, I actually prefer it to discord even aside from privacy/morality aspects
Have you tried starting steam from the command line to watch output and/or checking game logs? I’m wondering if it could be a missing package on your pc that steam includes by default - doesn’t feel likely but from reading the other comments it seems like you’ve already exhausted the likely fixes lol
Until now I actually wasn’t sure if you were the same person or just a hilariously similar name, but this is the comment that makes me sure you’re satansmaggotycumfart after all lmao
I see it as the literal definition of horseshoe theory but actually applicable for once, where (in this one instance) the far left and right are more similar than different (same words, different flag), but judging from the reaction what I meant to say is not how it came across lol
The way a far-right phrase can be used verbatim by someone on the far left, although with a different flag lol. Love to see it
This may be the best example of horseshoe theory ever to exist

I try to support all the open source projects I regularly use with small but recurring (ie predictable) amounts. Liberapay is great for this, but not everybody is on it yet unfortunately.
Some of the projects:
I’m not sure this last one counts as an NPO but it’s relevant here so I’m including it anyway: @dual_sport_dork@lemmy.world puts out the best OC I’ve come across on lemmy so sometimes I throw money his way to help pay for knives lmao.
For anyone else who wants to support the projects they use and keep the internet free, definitely check out liberapay. It’s still a bit clunky, but it lets me budget a monthly amount I can afford and then split it however I want among all the projects I use no matter what that overall amount is. Smaller donations can be paid in lump sums for many months to cut down on processing fees, and liberapay tracks it for you and more importantly lets the recipient know what the giving schedule is so the project/person you support can have a clear budget rather than unpredictable bursts of money with no guarantee there’ll ever be more coming.
If it’s not clear yet I’m super passionate about liberapay and also donate to them 😂
For me (safari on iOS) a long press brings up an expanded title, although that song’s title is so unusually long I had to drag it to the far corner of the screen to see it all lmao
When I’ve seen you post before I assumed it was an eragon reference, what’s the real origin then? Is that Esperanto or something?
Damn I was ready for this to be some pop culture dude who made an annoying song or something, but I support your hatred even more if he was the final boss of colonialism
I have genuinely no idea who this person was but I uncritically support your hated of him just cuz you’re so passionate about it
You could run the crack in a vm without networking if you want a safe way to test it, although even if it appears to work I’d personally prob just keep the program in the vm to be safe
You commenting with interesting bacon trivia is nominative determinism at its finest lmao
Steak is a really good example of what I’m talking about, thanks for adding this
Probably the most relatable one around here is the way people on reddit used to talk about bacon - in like 2010s reddit it was almost mythologized, which was weird to me even back then when I still ate and enjoyed bacon. There’s a bunch of other small examples like that I’ve run into pretty regularly that are each innocent on their own but taken all together are just… odd. “Cultish” was probably too strong of a word but I couldn’t think of a better alternative (then or now) for the way some people treat meat so differently than any other type of food, including ones you might expect to be more exciting like deserts or something.
I’m not one to try to tell people their opinions on subjective stuff are wrong and that’s not what I’m trying to say here, but I just do really think there’s more to the way some people treat meat than just it being a type of food they enjoy. Hopefully that makes some kind of sense lol
For me, it’s delicious in dungeon. I’m vegetarian and generally very weirded out by the cultish behaviours people have around meat, so a show about people killing and eating monsters should definitely not be as enjoyable to me as it is, but here we are. Very fun and cute show tho so I’m not complaining
I’m shocked nobody has said game of thrones yet
