- Comment on Waypoint Writers Quit Over Removal Of Articles Related To New Steam Policy [Update] - Aftermath 6 days ago:
Yes, there are good reasons for moderating a platform that distribute games.
The deleted article’s author question some of the feminist group’s claim, and highlight some involved parties are motivated by faith. But they’re don’t dispute the need for moderating Steam where necessary, for instance if there is CSAM.
So I don’t see a good reason to censor those articles.

There’s even a Wikipedia article on TACO:
Trump Always Chickens Out (TACO), also known as the TACO Trade, is an acronym that gained prominence in May 2025 after many threats and reversals during the trade war Donald Trump initiated with his administration’s “Liberation Day” tariffs.[1] The acronym is used to describe Trump’s tendency to make tariff threats, only to later delay them as a way to increase time for negotiations and for markets to rebound.[1][2]

I suspect having round shape pushing against each other isn’t enought to get a hex shape.

- Comment on Stellantis abandons hydrogen fuel cell development 1 week ago:
We’ll see.
Once there’s enough hydrogen drilling and hydrogen production no longer depend on fossil fuel, then maybe H2 vehicules will make sense. Or maybe H2 will still be impractical due to other drawbacks.
Meanwhile it make sense to focus on less polluting options.

Fossil fuel are getting progressively harder to produce, singe the easily accessible oil and gas fields were the first to be exploited, ans are (soon to be) depleted.
Renewable sources are getting progressively cheapet.
The EU is planning to enforce CBAM soon, and other may follow and tax import from country that have 0 carbon tax.
So even if they’re not motivated for dumb political reasons, they’re going to feel more and more financial pressure.

Referencing this parody as if it’s a serious study should be ground the rejection or rétraction.
