It’s trivial in the grand scheme of things to release a localhost server to let games run offline. For the amount of work that goes into games already this is a drop in the bucket.
It’s also trivial if you know it’s a requirement at the start of the project.
So even if it does nothing for games out now, if it makes it a requirement going forward that alone would be a massive success all by it self.

Iv always been confused over why he was ever in a meeting with executives when his official job position was QA tester. Not lead, not supervisor. He was a grunt worker.

LTT likely because Linus is extremely out of touch. Like comically so.
Game nexus likely because Steve is more focused on other sectors of the industry. He’s a hardware and news guy more then a “gaming” channel in the strictest of sense. So it just very likely slipped his radar.

Nothing brings the internet together like hating a sexist self centered egotistical narcissist.
Seriously pirate has been an asshole for like 20 years. He’s been banned from furry communities, kicked out of second life communities, rejected from eve communities.
Now people are realizing how much of a scum bag he is in the streamer community.
The only upside his asshole self centeredness has draw crazy attention to the partition.

It mostly can get the job done. Mice that have more then just mouse 4/5 tend to be entirely fucked and good luck.
- Comment on Owners of laptops with very cheap aftermarket batteries, is it worth the discount? 1 week ago:
Generally every aftermarket battery iv bought has been like this. Shorter stated lifespan, but perfectly functional and frequently lasts just as long as OEM.
Just go with a private company that specializes in the manufacture of the laptop in question and spend a bit more.
Rare to get a crap battery unless your trying to save every cent possible.

I’m sorry that you have a physical and painful response to other humans who prefer the opposite sex.
That sounds like a horribly crippling disability.
That or an uncalled for bigoted insult to others based on sexual preferences.
You don’t have to insult entire classes of people to make your point. Be a better person, and don’t perpetuate hate just because you feel it’s ok to attack people for being straight.
- Comment on It is what it is 2 weeks ago:
It actually had bullet points below the initial warning that said websites could track you.
The big warning on top was fine before. It could have been worded better and the update made its wording better. But below that warning it’s always had bullet points over examples of what it would and would not save in website tracking as well as browser data from searches could be saved. Sure, they didn’t explicitly say Google would save your data, but Google being a web browser falls under that bullet point and Google being a website falls under that bullet point. A website falls under that bullet point.
This is people not being able to understand what words mean.
- Comment on It is what it is 2 weeks ago:
From day one it is explicitly said it doesn’t do that. It’s literally always been on the main blank tab page right below the warning over what it does.
How they even had to update the wording because of all of this because people didn’t bother to read three bullet points
- Comment on It is what it is 2 weeks ago:
To be fair nothing was stolen, the lawyers even admitted as much.
This is a user error problem caused by the moron in a hurry problem.
The warning on incognito mode both before and after the change was very explicit that it was local only. It was intended for people sharing a computer, not for privacy to anything you searched, external websites, etc
Below the warning even had examples over exactly what was and was not saved with it explicitly saying that external websites would be able to track and save your data including Google.
The change was to add that warning list to the initial warning itself because Google had assumed people would read the entire page. They did not.
Which means that those morons in a hurry who only skimmed misunderstood what incognito mode was for. Did not read the use case, the warning, the TOs, the manual, or any other information provided both explicitly or implicitly.
Hell even parted the argument of the lawyers was that this is a user issue and that Google had a responsibility to prevent people who were ignorant or in a hurry from misunderstanding. And while they made a good faith effort, it could have been better. Google being the large company is taking the fall for this more than anything but it is at the end of the day a user issue.
- Comment on It is what it is 2 weeks ago:
It IS local incognito. By definition the name is accurate.
The wording on the warning both BEFORE AND AFTER the change says explicitly websites you visit, and anything external WILL still record and track you.
It said BEFORE AND AFTER that ONLY local things such as history omor cookies arnt saved.
It is 100% incognito. For the local browser. It warms BEFORE AND AFTER that it’s not real privacy.
They changed the wording basically from an assumption people will read the examples given on the SAME page as the warning. To having the examples built into the warning.
Basically they assumed their users could read. They were wrong, people can’t read. So they have to scream it now.
- Comment on It is what it is 2 weeks ago:
Even before that change it’s explicit about it… They basically went from “this isn’t real privacy” to screaming at your face cause apparently people can’t read and are idiots.
This is a case of users misusing a tool and not reading. At best you can argue that google should have assumed it’s users were stupid beyond measure from the start and had a tos so verbose that only someone missing a brain could misunderstand the point of the tool.
- Comment on It is what it is 2 weeks ago:
It’s as far as I remember literally always said it’s basically just turning off local history, and not for true privacy. The wording has changed over the years and frankly only become more explicated and clear about that fact.
This is a rare case of google NOT being the problem here. People are misusing a tool that has always been honest about itself.
- Comment on It is what it is 2 weeks ago:
To be fair it is in this case the victims is more at fault then not for misusing, misunderstanding and not reading the terms of service or explicate use case.
Like this would be like getting mad at your doctor for keeping notes over you and sharing them with other doctors. But not your random friends or strangers.
Incognito mode has said it’s always been local privacy only not that it doesn’t track or record you, nor prevents others from doing so.
It’s just turning off history basically.

Your not actually lowering the power, it’s just lowering the duty time.
70% means that it runs only 70% of the time.
Microwaves are either on or off. There is no in-between.
Its the same as running something for 30 seconds letting it sit for 20 then running it for another 10.
It’s also a large reason frozen dinners have you stir them.
- Comment on What's the best way to respond to someone who says "transracial is just as valid as transgender"? 3 weeks ago:
Assuming race, As a white person you are going to struggle to get others to see you as black. Cause those are social constructs. YOU do not get to decide what others see you as when it comes to a social construct. Because the very point of a social construct is that it’s the general social frame work used to see others as.
Ethnicity on the other hand, as a white skin tone person if you grew up in Africa in a tribe of indigenous people then you would be an indigenous person. Ethnicity only cares about the facts.
To mirror that to transgender.
Gender is a social construct, it’s what others see you as and how you categorize into a given communities framework. This differs between communities. For example what defines a male gender in ancient Rome is different then ancient Scotland. Both having male genders that quite literally just do not exist in one or the other.
While sex is the physical only caring about the factual biological. The actual flesh and reproductive organs. You either have them, or you don’t. Primary or secondary. You can alter them with modern medicine sure, but even after alteration. It still only matters what you have. Are you a male producer or female reproducer. Are you functional or not. Do you have both sets? That’s basically it, sex just cares about the facts it’s not socially constructed. You can’t argue that someone with a penis does not have a penis.
Ethnicity tho, doesn’t have a modern medicine equivalent. It just is what it is. You can’t change facts, so your rather stuck with it. Unlike a penis.

Race is the construct ethnicity is physical. Race is basically the loose and flimsy way to over generalize ethnicity.
It’s basically like the difference between gender and sex.
One is based on the cultures perceptived notions of a group of people based on only physical characteristics.
The other is based on the hard facts such as history or biology.
It’s easy to change ones race, just go to a different part of the world with a different view of what the races are. It’s impossible to change ones ethnicity as you can’t change who your parents are or where you grew up.
This gets into the nerdy weeds and generally the avg layman just thinks fo the two terms as the same thing. Which is where most of the problems come from
- Comment on What's the best way to respond to someone who says "transracial is just as valid as transgender"? 3 weeks ago:
Social constructed concepts are applied by others to you. Those concepts and frameworks are build up by the community over time. So where your born matters a lot as what framework your raised in is going to be the one you adopt naturally and use to also see yourself though.
That’s fundamentally the problem. Race and gender both, it doesn’t matter what you choose or think of for yourself. You don’t get to decide what others see you as. And since it’s communal you as a single person can’t change it for everyone. It takes many people working together over long periods of time to change.
Which is why it’s such problem, humans are fundamentally a social animal. We WANT to fit in, so when our self perception doesn’t align with what others see us as we become distressed.
So with in the social framework others see us as, we try to realign ourselves to be perceived as what we want. This removes the misalignment of self perception with social perception.
Fundamentally this is one of the biggest aspects of transgender body dysphoria. That social misalignment vs transsexual body dysphoria.
Tho transsexual body dysphoria can also play a role here or none at all.
As transsexual body dysphoria tends to be rather detached entirely from the social construct. People are able to have one or the other and both. Transsexual body dysphoria is very self driven and almost if not entirely based on ones own perception of their own body.
Remember gender is made up and fluid based on the culture. Sex is biological and rooted in the physical.

Hey now we have crisper, I’m sure with some minor DNA editing and risking the entire breeding population of humans though poorly made genetic editing is totally legit.
Have an afro, make your natural hair change color, hell regrow your hair AND give yourself the curly locks of your dreams!
Change your skin tone to blue and become a sexy Star wars alien!

Uhh while gender is a social construct that’s existed in countless forms though out all of history.
Sex and transsexual are VERY much a biological thing.
You can’t just say trans isn’t biological. Transgendered isn’t, but gender isn’t biology.
Sex IS biology and transsexual IS biological.
You need to be specific if you want to get into actually defined scientific terminology.

I feel like your over focusing on the medical aspect
I took to mean like how you compare say breeds of dogs. Both a golden retriever and a German Shepard are both dogs,.both k-9 members of the space species.
All fo them have the biological ability to be both male or female as it’s a secondary trait controlled by hormones.
While race is basically genetics and your DNA. You can just edit your DNA and rewrite your body to express characteristics of another race.
You can’t just make your body suddenly become a red head, or grow an afro. You can’t just suddenly force your nose or cheek bones to rearrange themselves.
You can’t just shrink to lengthen your bones.
Most of what makes up human “races” is just the breeding of our ancestors.
In the future we may be able to change all of this and custom design out bodies. But that wouldnt be a natural change unlike hormone therapy.
Instead of taking advantage of a natural ability of the body, you would be entirely overruling it and entirely creating something new that isn’t natural.
Basically you would be performing eugentics. For good or bad.
