• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Top Donald Trump official tells Europe to choose between US or Chinese communications tech⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  He also accused the European Commission of “protectionism” and an “anti-American” attitude. 

  I wonder where this anti-american attitude is coming from? 🤔🤔🤔

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Meet Neptune, a TikTok alternative where creators can hide likes and follower counts | TechCrunch⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  According to the about page, half of the staff of 12 are in the C suite. Are these people for real?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Torrenting is not allowed on Windscribe⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I have a feeling the “especially for the amount you do” is an important factor here.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨WotC DMCAs ‘Stardew Valley’ BG3 Mod, Despite Larian’s Endorsement⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  This TechDirt post is from yesterday, but the WotC issyed a retraction last week. Great reporting?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Self-hosted blog options.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t actually care about Wordpress, my point was Joomla is a bad recommendation in this context (a WordPress refugee looking for different blog software). Joomla (and Drupal) is a bad recommendation when there are better and more focused tools available.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Self-hosted blog options.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Wordpress.org homepage uses the word “blog” (along with “publishing platform”), it does not use the term CMS. Joomla.org uses CMS and has zero mentions of “blog”.

  Wordpress.com is even more stark, mentioning the word “blog” 33 times. Joomla.com again, zero mentions of it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Self-hosted blog options.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Joomla is a CMS, I wouldn’t recommend it in this context.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How Ubisoft spent $2.1M on influencers to secure the launch of Assassin's Creed Shadows⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Given the vitriol against Ubisoft (I’m not commenting on how justified it is), obviously they need to do something to counter it. The anti-woke crowd are an incredibly noisy minority.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Provide steps to replicate or we’ll assume you’re just bad at technology.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Days Gone Remastered announced coming to PC as a $10 DLC in April⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I hope they do it like they did with Horizon Zero Dawn so we end up with both editions.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Netflix bad... Shocker, I know⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  4k works great on most TV devices, that’s where they expect people are consuming it. I think the crux of the complaint is actually that they don’t make any of that clear before you waste money on it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s a misogynistic relic of a joke. Enjoy the downvotes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Chinese ebook reader Boox ditches GPT for state-censored China LLM pushing propaganda⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Boox are a GPL violator and refuse to share source they are legally obligated to. They can get the fuck out of here.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A New Social⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  TL;DR: Bridgy Fed is forming a non-profit entity to carry it forwards.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This Op Shop seems to have ordered their secondhand books by colour for some reason⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t understand the logistics of possessing 1800 books. That is so many books. Did you live in a library?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Rumor: Valve Is Bringing Steam Branding To Everything: PC Hardware, Games, Netcafes, And More⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The timing of this tells me we should expect some hardware partnership announcements at CES in January.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Kingdom Come: Deliverance II Devs Reveal The Game Is Releasing Earlier Than Expected⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  February 4th.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Critical Role's plans to make a videogame have become an 'active pursuit', says CEO Travis Willingham, after almost 10 years of growing a D&D campaign into a full-on franchise⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Larian told Hasbro to fuck off for a BG3 DLC and/or sequel, so there’s definitely an opening for someone to pick up that torch. That said, I also think they’ll go with their own system and brand.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I’m much more excited for Avowed after hearing the team say that what makes RPGs special is “missable content”⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, I feel like any interesting RPG is going to be a slog for achievements. I don’t want the story and choices dumbed down to change that either.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are $70 AAA games slashing prices so drastically?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t know whether it’s the case here (it’s the biggest sale of the year regardless), but often game developers will have licenses for some of the content in the game (music, most often), and when those licenses are soon expiring they do a fire sale on it. The previous Forza Horizon game comes to mind.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Guys, what did you buy during the Steam autumn sale?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Psychonauts 2, 90% off.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Former Mass Effect director cancels his next sci-fi game as his studio closes before it is fully revealed⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Real bad time to be trying to get a new studio off the ground.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Windows 11 24H2 update blocked on PCs with Assassin's Creed, Star Wars Outlaws⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  My money’s still on Denuvo being the root cause.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Valve has created a Steam Bluesky account⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Look at the boosted posts.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Valve has created a Steam Bluesky account⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  And Valve and Steamdeck accounts.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Petition calls to ban Elon Musk's X in Europe⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It had long since hit critical mass in Europe before it was bait and switched to serve as a US fascist tool of propaganda. Banning it is the correct response.
