  Amazon was always publicly traded, so it was always going to get worse. Steam is privately owned by Gabe, and is therefore more resistant to enshittification. Unless Gabe sells or dies, Steam’s pretty safe.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Forza Horizon 6 requirements are out⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I believe that even if you’re running Windows, if you installed the game on an ExFat drive, it would refuse to launch.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Forza Horizon 6 requirements are out⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I love how they don’t even mention they’ll lock oit anyone who didn’t install it on an NTFS drive like every other Forza game.

  Oil futures is a thing investors buy where you pay money now to have the right to buy oil at the current price later. If the price goes up, you can actually buy the oil and sell it at market value, making money. If the price drops, you only lose a little bit of money. In future trading, there is a huge advantage for being the first person to buy a future. No one is investing in oil right now becuase the blockade caused by the Iran war. Over the weekend, Trump tweeted that he was in negotiations with Iran to end the war, which would make oil futures profitable again. After his tweet, a ton of future sales happened really quickly. However, there was also a huge blip before his tweet. The only reason you would bother investing in oil futures before his tweet is if you knew he was about to tweet it. This is an illegal form of investing called insider trading, but it is something Trump has been suspected of doing several times since this term.

  That’s actually good news in my eyes, we definitely won’t see this hit the consumer market for years.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Resident Evil Requiem currently peaking at over 300,000 players on Steam⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  And it was the best Resident Evil for a very long time. Honestly, being the best can cut both ways. I’ve avoided buying remakes for some of my favorite games because “I’ve already played the campaign 5 times, am I really gonna pay $60 to play it a 6th?”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Resident Evil Requiem currently peaking at over 300,000 players on Steam⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Remakes will never be as popular as new games.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Good question⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Basically every winter sport has the same story: Your parents are millionaires and can affort to regularly take expensive trips to resorts. Gear, lessons, and any other fees are all taken care of from the time you were 4.

  Most summer sports have many stories about poor athletes making a name for themselves and getting traction. That’s possible when the upfront costs are a soccer ball and shoes, not a custom-tuned piece of modern engineering and 5 accessories.

  I love this story because it’s obvious your son asked this during the several minute long loading screen. No matter what year it is, Bethesda games take at least a minute to load.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Highguard Website Is Down As Players Brace For The Worst⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Same, the game was dead to me even before I actually watched the trailer or got a chance to try it out. Kernel level anti cheat and/or TPM 2.0 are deal breakers no matter what.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What else can we do with sugar (sucrose)?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  To say nothing about water usage, which is probably an unsolvable problem.

  Jupyter notebook isn’t a language, it’s a tool for running interactive sessions, in principle with any language. I’m fairly certain people run Julia in Jupyter Notebooks.

  As for the advantages of Julia versus Python, arrays are native types, so they interface better across the entire language. It’s also shockingly fast in comparison, it compiles the code at runtime, so the longer the program runs, the faster it is.

  If there is a use-case for R that Julia or Python can’t do, I haven’t seen it. I personally don’t see the point of writing code in R when the Python and Julia are more broadly useful to learn.

  This is actually a super fun concept. Make sure the sign up is super long, several pages, multi-paragraph replies expected for general admission. Make sure there’s a VSCode sign up API and extension. Host the conference now, but on the promise that you’ll be able to acquire props and supplies for it at a later date, at least 1 year out.

  Ahkshually, those tend to boils salt…which is later used to boil water.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The cops pay Anon a visit⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, refusing a warrant is definitely a separate crime from whatever they’re looking for on the computer. If something like this happens, the only way to protect yourself from a warrant is to fully delete everything on your computer. They can’t arrest you for not handing over something that doesn’t exist. The cops know this though, which is why they probably wouldn’t give you that kind of warning without having a warrant ready to go, which is because this story is fake.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This is crazy. Why don't you just take their car ?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This is why the governor’s policy will work well. It let’s drivers stay on the road until they’ve been caught with many infractions. It’s a very different story when you take someone’s license away after a few speeding tickets versus taking their license away after a few speeding tickets, then several months of well-documented continued speeding incidents every time they drove. Losing your license has serious consequences in modern society, but my sympathy for dangerous drivers has a limit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Real Struggle 😔⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I recently had a hard time explaining to a coworker that the “Increase number of decimals” button in Excel doesn’t work if you already exported to a CSV with only a decimal of precision. It worked on their end because they had the excel file, but I had the CSV. I managed to come up with a clever and innovative solution to the problem though; I gave up and worked on something else.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This is crazy. Why don't you just take their car ?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s a very serious crime though. If you get pulled over without a license, it’s a several thousand dollar fine.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There used to be an r/EmreMains when the name first appeared in lore. That must have been almost 5 years ago, and now they’ve finally released the hero. I don’t know what they expected, but I’d figure that almost everyone who was there previously has moved on, I certainly have.

  Use a newer company, say you worked at Theranos or FTX.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do it for your country's debt!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s beautifully wrong on so many levels.

  1. Increasing GDP doesn’t address the debt crisis.
  2. The debt is WAY bigger than 3 trillion
  3. As long as Trump is in office, the debt will grow, and nothing can be done to change that.

  I think they keep making Blu Ray cases worse to force you to streaming. Also, Blu Ray players, seems like the only functional Blu Ray player is a PS5 now.

  Primer and Chronicle. Neither had famous actors, but both were undeniably wild rides that you just couldn’t dismiss. Everyone loves them cuz they were good.
