- Comment on After years of holding out hope, 2024 was the year I finally gave up on BioWare 3 weeks ago:
Kind of annoying to have to click the damned link if the text can just be in the body of the post. What, do you work for PC gamer?
no offense but why are you on a link aggregator (and a clone of Reddit in particular) if you’re averse to clicking links? that’s literally the point of this form of social media: emphasis on sharing interesting links from other places, with the expectation that you’ll follow them.
in any case we strongly discourage the practice of copying the entire article because it’s technically copyright infringement, we generally expect people to actually engage with what’s posted instead of drive-by commenting, and it’s just generally bad form to rob writers of attention and click-throughs for their work.

- Comment on Valve must address swastikas and other hate on Steam, writes US senator in a letter to Gabe Newell 2 months ago:
i mean if Roblox is any indication, Valve will probably bend the knee sooner or later. government scrutiny is obliging them to make changes and actually do even basic moderation over there:
The fast-growing children’s gaming platform Roblox is to hand parents greater oversight of their children’s activity and restrict the youngest users from the more violent, crude and scary content after warnings about child grooming, exploitation and sharing of indecent images.
The moves comes after a short-seller last month alleged it had found child sexual abuse content, sex games, violent content and abusive speech on the site. In the UK, Peter Kyle, the secretary of state for science and technology, told parliament: “I expect that company to do better in protecting service users, particularly children.”

- Comment on US lawyers will reportedly try to force Google to sell Chrome and unbundle Android 2 months ago:
imo if anything the opposite causality is true: this DOJ was banking on a continuation of Biden in Kamala Harris, and because that is no longer forthcoming they’re now trying to get something out the door in the hopes it can stick. it almost certainly won’t, but most of Trump’s appointees are gigamad about censorship and they hate Google for “punishing conservative voices” or whatever so it’s hardly the most contrived hail mary if so
