Steam Deck 2 is very likely a long way away; they've said they won't be doing minor upgrades—only major ones, and the current models still play most modern games just fine without issue. There's no reason to wait on a Steam Deck if it's within your budget.

You can absolutely play a Steam Deck on the couch. It's effectively the same sort of device as a Switch, just without all the Nintendo nonsense of knowing that you're supporting a company that specializes in squashing industry innovation through litigation.
You can even buy a dock that uses the USBC port as an HDMI output, if you want to play on a bigger screen, and connect your favorite Bluetooth controller.
...yet. Authoritarianism creeps, it crawls silently, strategically, meticulously, knowing that far too few will notice or care until it's too late.
I second this! Works especially well in an air fryer.
Hmm, maybe I need to upgrade my Tuta subscription. Seems like they might deserve it.
My work will not provide me a work machine for the very optional WFH benefit I have. Either I use my personal machine, or I have to go into the office, and fuck the office.
So, I put my work stuff into Virtual Machine jail; if they want to spy on me, they'll have to figure out how to break out of that first.
Also note that this is now the second time (that I'm aware of) where they've censored or helped to silence journalists or activists.

They basically did the equivalent of a YouTube takedown and left it to the affected people to show why they shouldn't have their accounts suspended, rather than doing the reasonable thing of making the original claimants prove why the victims should have their accounts suspended. It's decisions and actions like these that make me wary of the company.
Wow, what a great service. Definitely a bastion of privacy.

That's the idea.
Not just potential for misuse. The people in charge of Palantir are the exact sort of people you don't want having access to any kind of data, because they will find a way to weaponize it, monetize it, or both; consequences or laws be damned. They're run not just by billionaires, not just by transhumanists, but by technofacist accelerationists.
The fall of Palantir cannot come too soon.
Alright. I leave it to you to show where I've made a mistake in my assessment. I'll change my tune if you provide a compelling case.

No Man's Sky has almost every feature that Star Citizen will have/has:
Like, by the time SC releases, the game's features will have been done by multiple companies. I expect people actually buying the game, if it's ever released, will do so for the memes and not because the game has anything innovative to add to gaming.
