- Comment on Steam Owner Valve Faces $900 Million Lawsuit Over PC Monopoly Claims, Following UK Tribunal Ruling - IGN 1 week ago:
Personally this reeks of being a shadow lawsuit by Epic games.
With the end goal being to let people buy and play the games on Steam, but then buy the addons via EGS.

Fair, it was over a decade ago that I used it.
- Comment on How/why does Microsoft teams exist? 1 week ago:
A long, long time ago, there was an online messaging tool called ICQ. You didnt even have callsigns in it, you had a randomly generated number you shared with your friends. You chatted. Had fun. Life was good.
Then there was AOL instant messenger. It largely replaced ICQ in the US. It added emoticons.
Then there was MSN Messenger. It tied into the MSN gaming zone(Before MS killed it to make Xbox Live. You could play games with your friends through it. You could do rudimentary video chats.
Then you had Skype(pre-MS. Better video, not tied to MS).
MS makes MSN Messenger into Lynx and adds it to office. Its not good.
Then you had Google Hangouts. Better chat, fun features, tied to your google account.
Then you had MS owned Skype as Skype for Business. Largely replaces Hangouts because Google enshittifies everything, not because it is good.
You also have former Vancouver startup Slack. Its fantastic. Until Salesforce buys it.
Now we have the bastard officespring of Skype for Business: MS Teams.
- Comment on You ask who believed this stuff. But in 20 years people will look at the mainstream newspapers of today and ask the same question. 1 week ago:
No, weekly world news was always patently ridiculous.
They're the ones that had all of the really crazy conspiracy theory stuff. Used to see them every week for sale at a place I worked. Best cover was the one of a bad photo edit of the heads of Saddam Hussein and Osama Bin Laden over two guys going at it.
- Comment on I don't understand how Trump gets away with all his senial BS. How come everyone is telling him to piss off or use the constitution to shut him the hell up? 3 weeks ago:
Because Mitch McConnell and the regular corporate GoP have been planning this for decades, getting legal precedents in place, getting judges into the right spots across the US, all of it.
The religious right were used as tools by them and the GoP elite always assumed they had exclusive control of them. Then Trump comes along and upends their control, and now Trump is a barely present fool and the religious right(see: Stephen Miller) are in full control of all three branches of the US fed.

I may or may not be looking forward to continuing that tradition.

Whether they allow the warframe community to make a mockery of the concept of chat again.
- Comment on I care when it affects deez nutz... 1 month ago:
Yeah, it's a niche for the 3d printing machine ecosystem that I am surprised hasnt been more eagerly filled.
A recycling grinder into filament machine shouldn't be that difficult to make.
- Comment on I care when it affects deez nutz... 1 month ago:
At the time of the concept of plastic recycling, most plastics couldn't be melted down and re-molded. They just burned when heated.
Now though, most plastics used can be ground down to pellets and reused in a mold.

If you are being serious, please find some local in person hobby groups that interest you and join them. It's absolutely worth it.

On tour at a raptor rescue center.
Tour goes into their small raptor "play" enclosure, there more to keep them safe from the wild raptors in the area.
They bring in this tiny and adorable kite, it took some offered bits of food(bits of raw meat provided by the center) from us.
Wild Junco(that we previously had not noticed) in the enclosure did not agree about the cuteness of the kite. (It got out unharmed.)

Is Spinosaurus basically the dinosaur equivalent of a North American Black Bear?
Evolved from fast dangerous predator into a massive strong thing that can be very dangerous, but 99% of the time eats roots, honey, berries and Salmon(when they are running.)

Don't forget giving accounts the ability to hide their activity on the profile page, making bots and corporate spam accounts very easy to hide.
Making it functionally impossible to track bot activity.
- Comment on Why would a company force you to use a rental car instead of your own for a drive to the office/Christmas party? 3 months ago:
To add on a hypothetical:
If someone drives into you and totals their car and hurts you while you are on work business, they only worry about paying for your costs. The car is a tax writeoff to them.
If someone drives into you and totals your car and hurts you while you are on work business, they need to now worry about paying for you and your car.
- Comment on Is it really worth the BS for a couple more years? 3 months ago:
Replaced pop/soda with tea. At first needed it sweetener(with honey) to enjoy. Now, no sweetener at all is best.
And there are so many awesome flavours.
Right now I have a fantastic vanilla and peppermint tea.

Yeah, so if you install an app that gives them full permissions, they can see what you're doing on your phone.

- Comment on As Microsoft lays off thousands and jacks up Game Pass prices, former FTC chair says I told you so: The Activision-Blizzard buyout is 'harming both gamers and developers' 3 months ago:
I think its an internal disagreement.
There have been rumours for a few years now that the price of gamepass was causing issues as it was seen as denying profits from other teams inside microsoft.

There is no place for the state in the bedrooms of the nation. What is done in private between (consenting) adults doesn't concern the Criminal Code.
