If a game isn't easy to play with a controller then I'm probably just not going to play it with a controller to begin with honestly, track pads or no. If I have to mess with stuff in desktop mode on my steam deck then I use the pads but otherwise, I haven't really found them useful.

Sadly I've got too many programs that don't work on linux, or don't work well. And an old synthesizer that I can't imagine would work on linux unless I made a driver for it myself, and that's a bit beyond me.

So it doesn't besides the point where it does.

"We send our deepest sympathies to the cat's owner"

Did you even read it?

[–] LettyWhiterock@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Did you read it? Or did you just ctrl+f "pet"? Because it specifically mentions the cat having an owner.

Ads can work on me but it's context dependent.

If it's something I was already aware of and wanting, I have noticed that it can push my mind further in the direction of wanting to get it.

The other context is food. Like, if I'm hungry and I see an ad for food, it always looks like it'd hit the spot even if I know it wouldn't.

Otherwise it just doesn't actively do anything. If I need a product and have seen advertisements for a specific one, I still do research before choosing what to go with. And rarely ever is it the one I saw advertised.

The psychology of advertising is very interesting especially when you can actively feel its effects on yourself, and when you can tell it's doing nothing to you.

Two companies I couldn't trust less for this kind of concept. They should get tesla in on it too to make it a complete dumpster fire.

Nah the young people are laughing about this as much as anyone else.
