Youtuber PewDiePie is going all in on deGoogling and the Steam Deck is one of the surprising tools that's helping him to 'escape'

What? No there isn't and they don't use Google's cloud.

Funny how the comments in this thread went from "haha he's degoogling on YouTube?" to "do you believe in rehabilitation?" - "HE'S A NAZI!!!".
It truly feels like back in the good old Reddit days. You either get popcorn or your pitchfork. There's nothing in-between.
I like to eat my popcorn with a pitchfork, thank you very much.

Did they install chrome in desktop mode and Steam picked it up and asked if they wanted a shortcut to it? From what I can tell you get Firefox by default in desktop mode?

On the Steam Deck there is Google too, there is the sponsored Chrome install and cloud saves uses Google servers
Where did you get this information?

Yes let him remove his source of income in order to be the most rightous!!! It's respectable that he's doing it as much as he can
Also youtube is so widespread it's the best way to spread positive messages, even against YouTube and Google themselves

~ Someone on YouTube, a platform owned by GoogleHe takes part in society yet he critiques it.
This isnt a gotcha, if he did this in private he couldnt champion it.
It should be more eye opening that his path to critique relies on thos he critques, making the case that they are too engrained.

On SteamOS maybe, but he is using Arch Linux on his Steam Deck, as mentioned in the Article.

Never had any prompt for google services in 2+ years of owning a sd, i don't know why you're so affirmative about something you don't actually seem to be sure about

he brought it on himself by accidentally naziing several times, even while he ostensibly apologized after he got called out for it.
he has had a hand in normalizing this shit we're in today and people are right to be angry at him. especially since his alleged rehabilitation has been as quiet as his nazi winks and nods were loud.
i do believe in rehabilitation, but i think for someone his size you can't just do it quietly. you have to be against it and try to right your wrongs. that's what hunter avallone did for example, and he's significantly smaller than pewdiepie.
pewdiepie's damage was much more consequential and he has a responsibility to do more than not casually naziing anymore.
What did this "quiet rehabilitation" even entail? Did he actually take responsibility for the dogwhistles?

Worse. Steam is basically built on top of CEF, which is not much better than Electron.
It's amazing how deep Chromium (and web tech in general) got into everything. Microsoft - which I regarded for how light and well optimized Windows 8.1 was - went from using Chromium for Edge to using it basically everywhere. Latest observation is how you open Copilot app, chat a little and see how it eats 4 GB of RAM and lags like hell, on a higher end business laptop.

don't even know honestly; just responding to people's claims that he's changed.

then people shouldn't bitch about it when they get backlash
The bitching is encouraged by algorithms. Idk if you've seen the youtube drama bullshit scene but its all bitching all the time. The only way to stop it is to leave platforms utilizing conflict algorithms and work on fostering communities that don't celebrity worship.

sorry I meant bitching in the comments that he's still being perceived as a nazi.

dichotomous thinking is the pretentiously fun term
I like saying binary. A middle ground pretentiousness-wise.

I got this same prompt the first time I used my Steam Deck and I don't use Chrome at all, so no.

Any idea of this guy made any significant impact when he installed Linux recently?
I also started using Bazzite recently, but not because of him. But this new video is giving me ideas on what other things I can do. The Linux one popped up in my suggested videos too, and I thought there was good starter information there too. I don't really know much about him otherwise.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]Nope... It's literally just a placeholder to allow people in game mode to install chrome and access the Internet without having to switch to desktop mode.
Until they make a better way to add non-Steam shortcuts in game mode.
It literally explains it in the prompt.
