Fish get fillings? Can they claim it on the NHS?
- Comment on Andrew Windsor could face private prosecution, Republic says 1 week ago:
They put “Republic” in the headline as if we all just know what that refers to.
Per wikipedia:
Republic is a British republican pressure group advocating the replacement of the monarchy of the United Kingdom with a de jure parliamentary republic.[2] It is a member organisation of the Alliance of European Republican Movements and is the largest organisation solely campaigning for a republican constitution for Britain. Republic states that its mission is: “the replacement of hereditary monarchy with a democratic republican constitution”.[3] As of 2023, Carol Lever is the current chair of Republic, and Graham Smith is the chief executive.[4]

Peter Molyneux says Masters of Albion will make up for decades of ‘overpromising on things’
When you “make up” for something you’ve done, it’s not up to you to decide when you’ve “made up” for it. It’s up to the people that you crossed. What a presumptuous thing to say.

- Comment on Ex PlayStation exec says Sony can't keep "increasing the graphics power" with new consoles after tech plateau, but PS5 has already "made almost every game a better game" 2 weeks ago:
If Nvidia was really holding back, then AMD would have past them.
Did you know that Jensen Huang and Lisa Su are cousins? AMD only makes graphics cards to protect NVIDIA from antitrust lawsuits.

The army of corporate boot lickers in the mobile phone context is largely composed of people who think banking on a smartphone is wise
This is extremely reductive and oblivious to the actual realities of banking in various countries. If you think it’s easy to be “unbanked” then I would suggest that you try it yourself first.
- Comment on Why aren't Linux based mobile OSes more popular? 3 weeks ago:
Because some banks now require you to authenticate every payment (eg. online payments using your debit card) and every new recipient for bank transfers, using their phone app. The apps rely on the chain of trust that Google and Apple provide with their TPM or “secure enclave” chips to cryptographically authenticate that it is indeed the same device that the bank previously authorized.
Online banking via the website of these banks will still require at least one tap on the phone app to authorize any transfers that you make on the website.
Linux phones (and custom Android ROMs) don’t benefit from this same chain of trust, and so even if they have the secure chip in the hardware, the banking apps don’t have a convenient API to query it, so the banking apps just don’t work.
Banking fraud causes a serious amount of money lost to criminals each year so it’s not surprising that the banks want better ways of determining if a request is really coming from their customer(’s device) and not a criminal who phished their online banking password.
This situation won’t change unless either Linux phones gain in popularity enough that the banks decide to port their apps to the platform or a law is passed saying that banks must support more than just Google and Apple (ie. custom roms etc.) at which point the work will be done to use the hardware attestation available in the phone on other software platforms.

Population expansion is exponential but the tram moves at constant velocity, so by the time it reaches the end of the track of 8bn people there will be an exponentially increasing number of people further down the track.

I haven’t seen this youtuber’s videos before. Do they normally drop 40 minutes of spoilers for a game that came out just 6 months ago? I thought this was going to be a review and it turned into a walkthrough less than 10 minutes in.
- Comment on The Video-Game Industry Has a Problem: There Are Too Many Games 1 month ago:
There are multiplayer games from 30 years ago that still have 30 people who play on the first Friday night of each month, and they will put that in their calendar and keep the game alive.
The idea that multiplayer games need huge communities of players otherwise they are “dead” is what is killing multiplayer games.

A truly unique feature of the retro FPS genre.
- Comment on Mala Petaka is another action-packed GZDoom boomer shooter now on Steam 1 month ago:
Probably because GenX and Millenials (the actual people who created and played these games respectively) don’t like being associated with the generation that’s destroying our society and planet whilst being completely out of touch with reality. It was boomers who tried to ban these games, remember?
