no one is stopping anyone in Britain from drinking a litre of the most sugary of sodas.

The soft drink companies stopped us. With the exception of Coke, after the sugar tax came in, all the manufacturers replaced most of the sugar in their products with sweeteners on the presumption that consumers would not pay more for sugar. So the choice was taken away from us - you can't buy the sugary versions any more!

Yep, and all our pop now tastes like ass with the vile sweeteners so fewer people drink it.

ancient brain mush guy who is going to lose to the fascist

"ancient guy" is only 2 years older than fascist guy. Also, I don't understand what's happening, the world seems to be having shared amnesia about the fact that Trump has been spouting senile and incoherent nonsense for years now?

I mean, if you look at track records, Biden already beat Trump in 100% of previous elections.

He's really shitting himself about being sentenced isn't he? Good.

Linux is close, but has some core flaws that will forever keep it out of mainstream acceptance by your average user.

It has nothing to do with any flaws within Linux itself. The problem is and has always been that it's nearly impossible to buy a PC with any flavour of Linux pre-installed. Until that changes, Linux (on home user desktops) will never gain mainstream acceptance.

There will be insanity if he's allowed to run at all.

There should be no way for people to participate in a democracy they have attempted to overthrow, and these fuckers are absolutely going to try again. It will be a shitshow. I hope the US justice system comes through, but it will be a very dangerous time for America if Trump and his cronies are not prosecuted for their crimes before the next election.

I'm sure you really care about genocide and this isn't bad faith arguing at all.

Oh, it's Ukrainian nationalism causing the deaths is it, not Russia invading? Do you really believe such obvious bullshit and lies?

it is still an inferior experience to Windows for anybody that isn’t incredibly tech savvy and the kind of person that lives and breathes command lines.

Since when do you have to live and breathe command lines to use SteamOS?

But then again, what did I expect from an industry where people are genuinely paid to talk out of their butts about games.

Yeah, there's only one person talking out of their butt here.

But there has been the occasional ‘Steam Deck Verified’ game like Cthulhu Saves The World which soft locks on a black screen after battles.

Oh well, I guess if you have a problem with one verified game then we should all write off the entire platform then.

My car lets you turn off lane assist, it's the collision avoidance that I can't turn off that is trying to kill me. Randomly I'll be driving along when an alarm sounds and it tries to swerve off the road. It's fucking infuriating and dangerous and despite many of us complaining to the manufacturer you can't turn it off.
