It sounds like you're looking for a hard link, like the one between the far right and china/russia. There is none, as far as I am aware.

The fact they aligned their views about NATO and the Ukraine invasion with Russia (the "NATO threatened Russia, so they had no choice" narrative you also mentioned), and their general affection towards the USSR is more what I was getting at. To me, that's sufficient to be considered pro-russian.

As to why I called them "more dangerous" (not "worse", I agree that the far rights ideas are considerably worse) - It's a couple of things. I feel they are more competent in general than the right. They're also more idealistic and consistent.

Those by themselves are not dangerous traits, but I also question how far that affection towards the USSR and China goes.

While I actually agree with much of their points, I'm just not that sure how much of the USSR/China they'd actually like to replicate. Regardless of that, I believe they would be fairly successful in implementing much of it - hence why I think they are more dangerous.

They oppose NATO membership, and are parroting the Russian talking point that the Ukraine invasion was the west’s fault.

While they might not be explicitly supporting Russia (which would be political suicide tbh), some of their talking points sure do align quite nicely with Russia.

I personally find them more dangerous than alt right at this point in time.

The far left party in belgium is pro russian.

So far right are fascists, far left are tankies. Maybe one is worse than the other, but both are bad enough for that not to matter.

Because my pc uses 4-5 times the power to run the same ps4-era game. (Especially nice when it’s hot in summer)

So I play it on my ps5, which offers me quick resume as well.

I love pc gaming, been building pc’s for over a decade at this point, but I do also see the advantages my ps5 has over my pc.

Could I build a more efficient and quiet pc, attach it to my tv and use that? Probably, and it’d be quite good with steamOS on it, but it’d be finicky to get sleep/resume working on it, and it’d probably cost me more.

Don't forget they’re usually also agains cancel culture, which makes this even better.

Wireguard (which is what tailscale is built on) doesn’t even require you to open ports on both sides.

Set up wireguard on a vps first, where it is accessible, then set it up from within your network. It’ll traverse NAT and everything, and you don’t have to open a port on your network.

Tailscale is the exact same thing, just easier because it does everything for you (key generation, routing, …). Their service replaces your vps, up to you if you think that’s acceptable or not. IMHO, wireguard is worth learning at least. I eventually (partially) switched to tailscale because I’m lazy, and all services I host have authentication anyway, with vpn just being a second layer.

According to the dutch news orgs, he made a “threatening gesture” towards a (female) camera operator, after he asked not to be filmed, repeatedly (there were not supposed to be cameras at that point, so the request was not unjustified). There was no physical contact.

Here’s the source (in dutch)

Maybe technically, but in reality there's just very few "good" tablets when it comes to hardware. Samsung has a few, but the rest's just plastic trash.

No proper hardware, no sales, no tablet android users, no android apps for tablets.

I don't see how this would fix that.

Epic's at a 25% cut now? I thought they still were at 12.

I remember Sweeney trying to convince users games would be cheaper because of the lower cut. Of course every publisher just pockets the difference and gamers are stuck with the garbage launcher.

Not to mention them paying for exclusivity to indie studios, only for the indie studio to make way more money once the game released on steam, despite the cut.

The app store is the only way to get apps on ios, whereas steam is not the only way to get games on PC.

It's the biggest one, yes, but no one HAS to use it. It does hold some power by virtue of having the majority of the gaming population as its user base, but no other storefront has even tried. The only one that has any value over steam is GOG, the rest are objectively worse.

Should be 99% for everything above a certain threshold. Any money you make above that number is pretty much guaramteed to have come from exploiting others, so they shouldn’t get to keep that.
