  I enjoy VI, but I know it is divisive.

  My comment holds more generally true for anything mouse-centric.

  As someone still using Steam Controller 1 on the daily, I am stoked to see that they have not abandoned the trackpads. Civ from the couch ftw.

  Well that’s a great sign.

  GTA Online alone takes in billions of dollars for this company. Its employees should be reaping the rewards of that success.

  Something tells me they aren’t.

  A lot of companies (most?), especially in the US, need to return to the social contract.

  A respected academic telling me that something or another in data is “suggestive” means something. From a rando pseudoscientist working from the armchair, it means fuck all.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  the full power of Windows PC gaming

  It’s even better without the Windows.

  Something tells me that part of Microsoft’s public focus here is distraction from the fact that they are losing grip on two separate markets.

  People really need to stop fetishizing grind. Especially when you effectively get nothing for it, it just makes you look dumb and impressionable.

  And before Lotus, there was sc (which you can still use today, if you prefer staying in the CLI as much as possible).

  A fine wine, emphasis on the fine

  Shocking image

  You also can’t do shit with their service, app and web, if you’re on a VPN. It just refuses. Even – and this may be illegal – unsubscribing from their emails.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GTA 6 release date could slip to 2026 under Rockstar "fallback plan", according to reports⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Considering that just about every AAA game is now released as an awful, rushed mess (for $70), I hope they take their time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection Launch Is a Disaster - IGN⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  And not to mention: the original versions actually run fine to this day. Pure money grab and they made the product(s) worse to do it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon union president knocks Biden: ‘No cavalry coming’ for American workers⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Also why in the hell is a giant corporation like Amazon, with pockets do deep they exceed the GDP of many countries, getting a loan from the federal government. Make it make sense.

  Now hiring for an Engineer². Don’t apply if you dont have 20+ years experience with LLMs

  Whenever anyone tells me that capitalism leads to efficient solutions or some such BS, I point them to things like this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨how many US states have a single payer healthcare system?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, I think this is the right answer. It’s a bit shocking that none exist, but that doesn’t mean it’s untrue. Some may have existed but don’t anymore (like the Vermont example in another reply).

  The health insurance racket in the US is strong – probably the strongest in the world – and they have to maintain constantly expand their profits.

  …so did OP, lol

  This was a fun game on the Wii – the second one was maybe a bit better.

  Weird, I see “You will need to use a different service/company”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Average website visit in 2024⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I encountered the mother of all captchas the other day: it had me picking a three-dimensional room diagram among six of them, matching it to a 2d top-down view of the room. It was way more time consuming than a typical captcha, and I had to do the same task five or six times.

  I think we’ll see harder and harder captchas as AI models get better and better. Eventually it won’t be a realistic option since it just costs humans time and the convenience of whatever service they’re trying to use.
