It’s honestly so sad you’d make that comparison. I’ve lost accounts to scammers as a teen and I’ve been mugged, and I can tell you that only one of those experiences had any kind of lasting effect on me. I think it’s important to remember that we’re talking about a teen’s discord account with absolutely nothing valuable on the line at all. They can make a new account and go on with their lives. This experience may even help them avoid falling for a scam later in life that could have actual consequences for them.

This is the digital equivalent of falling of your bike and skinning your knee.

How is this news? Kid got pwned; it’s a learning experience to lose your account because you clicked on an untrusted link. Discord sucks, and their support sucks, but I don’t think they did anything wrong here beyond that.

None of the other explanations have actually given you the real contraction that the above user is employing phonetically: “I’d’ve” -> “I would have”

I’m imagining our intrepid hero coming off a bender and to the conclusion that they’re in a different dimension. In their efforts to educate themselves about their new world they unwittingly fall fully for conspiracy YouTube videos; what a magical and strange world they’ve found themselves in.

FWIW it doesn’t seem like Valve is really looking to make Steam OS a general-purpose operating system. They are developing it to work on their hardware offerings and may or may not add support to other hardware. This means that they may not work on supporting Nvidia cards well unless they start shipping gabe cubes or decks with Nvidia hardware.

Just because a corporation is backing the OS doesn’t mean that they are doing so for anything beyond their own products.
