  No, but that was the time when every tech company could basically generate money out of big userbases and empty promises. If you don’t have to worry about making money, you don’t have to enshittify something. Companies like uber would not exist in todays market because investors wouldn’t subsidize that company for years until it finally turns a profit. Hell, I think uber just turned profitable in early 2024, and I highly doubt that in todays market, investors will subsidize companies like OpenAI for 11 years.

  that was a moronic thing to say at the time

  I assume he wasn’t genuinely thinking that, but rather didn’t want to burn any bridges with microsoft. That company is so big that you never know when you might come across it in the tech space.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Indie Dev Says Game Refunded 55,000 Times Via Steam Loophole⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  A tale as old as time. There’s people who buy clothing for a wedding or some other event, for example, and then refund it since you have a 14 day refund window in europe (or at least the DACH area) for basically anything you buy. Companies like zalando have a global 50% return rate across everything they sell.

  Sadge, but you can’t make everyone happy. Overall, I’d argue that the 2 hour return policy for steam is overall more of a benefit to consumers than it is a detriment for developers. And then again, you can always add a bit more content to the game to make it longer.

  That sounds a bit too quick to me and more like they already had the model ready

  I would assume that they have multiple models of each character ready, potentially for future skin releases or maybe just as a “what if X looks like that”, as some sort of “proof of concept”.

  Have you even looked at the linked patchnotes? I don’t think that “Added support for GameCube controller rumble when the adapter is in PC mode” is something linus torvalds fixed personally in the linux kernel lmao.

  And, for the sake of the argument, let’s say all of those improvements are upstream linux kernel improvements. Then valve still has to pull them, build a new build and push it, something that no major company can be assed to do. And that effort is still commendable.

  ngl that’s still 6000 bucks, 4000 if you subtract app store fees. That’s a damn good result for an app you can probably code in 15 minutes.

  Oooh yeah it says september 2026, now I see it. Thanks!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Valve’s Steam Controller stock shortage will last until next year after fans massively exceeded expectations⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  To me, it seems more like they didn’t expect a 100€ controller to sell that well. I certainly wouldn’t in this economy tbh.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Valve’s Steam Controller stock shortage will last until next year after fans massively exceeded expectations⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I love people who make uneducated claims about products they don’t know.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Valve’s Steam Controller stock shortage will last until next year after fans massively exceeded expectations⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m a bit confused, I reserved mine on may 8th, and I didn’t even get a notification that the steam controller is on sale again. Did I just somehow miss it or was my reservation too late?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Am I just bad at games???⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You might be, but at the end of the day, does it matter? The core point of gaming is to have fun, no matter how long you need. As long as you’re not frustrated by the game, I think that’s fine.

  Maybe the game also isn’t for you - there’s so many different genres. Some people are shit at soulslike games, and there is nothing wrong with NOT enjoying a game. They might enjoy something different.

  Now, what I personally have a gripe with is people being shit at games and crying online that it’s “too hard” and they NEED to make it easier instead of, you know, not playing the game they apparently have no fun with. But in your case - take all the time you need, have fun and if you start to not have fun, stop the game.

  With the crashes, idk, but that could be fixable by asking in communities for the game or maybe submitting a bugreport directly to the developer.

  Shattered Pixel Dungeon is SO good. It’s horrendously difficult early on because you don’t know what you’re doing, but once you got a grasp it’s so fun.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is a game that you know is bad but really enjoy(ed)?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Fallout 76

  The game was a fucking dumpster fire on release, but honestly, I really enjoyed the item grind and the build system. I was building some really cool houses back then and I probably spend a vast majority of my time with that.

  Haven’t touched it in years tho. Idk how it is today.

  The holy trinity of dumbasses

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bar hired local artist to paint the bathroom doors. The pictures were her idea⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Let’s say you, believing yourself a man, go to use the men’s restroom. I look at you, see that you look “chestier” than my idea of a man, and you’re in the men’s restroom!!

  Which wouldn’t be a problem because men can defend themselves from other men. Also, men usually aren’t raped somewhere outside - men rape usually occurs in relationships, and at a MUCH lower rate than for women. I don’t have a problem with trans-men going to the mens bathroom. I have a problem with trans-WOMEN going to the WOMENS bathroom because women should be protected from this kind of harassment. Men do not experience that level of harassment.

  The fact that you can’t even realize such a simple thing and you unironically thought it’s some kind of “gotcha” moment or whatever just proofs my point that you are living in a delusion where the world is a merry place and everyone gets a pony for his 12th birthday. So any kind of discussion with you in this regard is completely useless since you can’t even understand the simplest concepts.

  Feel free to type some more nonsense, but I honestly can’t be bothered to read it anymore.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bar hired local artist to paint the bathroom doors. The pictures were her idea⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  “anecdotes” yeah what’s the fate of a few women, right. Fuck’em I’d say.

  Show me realistic evidence

  Bro no fucking evidence on gods green earth would convince you. You’ve dug yourself into a delusion you can’t escape from. I could show you a fucking video of a trans person raping a woman and you’d be like: “Ah well NOOO she’s just saying hello!” or some bullshit.

  I’m just glad that overall politics worldwide goes against you and your insane views. I’m certainly not agreeing with everything they do, but I certainly do agree on that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bar hired local artist to paint the bathroom doors. The pictures were her idea⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t see how allowing biological men in the womens bathroom is making anyone’s life better, especially considering the downsides which is that many women find it extremely troubling to see men in an area that is usually reserved for them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bar hired local artist to paint the bathroom doors. The pictures were her idea⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You ever stop to consider that maybe you don’t pass as your chosen gender to someone else

  I don’t care. I don’t have to use the womans bathroom.

  Let people use the public restrooms they want.

  No. Women’s bathroom are for women. If you don’t agree with that very simple statement, I do not like you and any further conversation is pointless.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bar hired local artist to paint the bathroom doors. The pictures were her idea⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Worthless nonsense you’re spouting. I work as a bartender on weekends and I had 2 situations last month alone where some “trans woman” was harassing women in the bathroom. This is not some “imaginary nonsense” you claim. This is the reality hundreds of thousands, if not millions of women face every single day.

  You’re not affected by it. You make yourself affected so you can collect internet points from people who live in similar ivory towers, not having to live with the outcomes of the decisions you propagate. You’re one of those politicians that told the public during covid: “No you REALLY gotta stay home, we do too, we all suffer together :((((” while celebrating private parties on some estates.

  People like you disgust me. You are so deep into your own delusion you don’t see how you are actively harming women with your bullshit. You’re a misogynistic clown. End of story.

  You’d be surprised how much brain function some people have already lost due to excessive AI use.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bar hired local artist to paint the bathroom doors. The pictures were her idea⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Because when you or someone close to you has been affected by it, you start to see things from another view than that ivory tower most of you live in.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bar hired local artist to paint the bathroom doors. The pictures were her idea⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  First of all, no idea what you’re talking about. We have those curbs on train platforms, but those are for blind people so they don’t fall onto the tracks.

  Second, I don’t get what you’re trying to say tbh. The womens bathroom is better with trans people in it or what is the argument here?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bar hired local artist to paint the bathroom doors. The pictures were her idea⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, but not anyone is normally allowed in the womens bathroom, or other “female zones”, if you will. Men don’t have anything to do in there. If you don’t pass as a woman, you shouldn’t be in there. Simple as that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bar hired local artist to paint the bathroom doors. The pictures were her idea⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Wait until your girlfriend gets harassed and almost raped in the womens bathroom by a “trans woman”, then we can discuss this non-inclusivity bullshit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bar hired local artist to paint the bathroom doors. The pictures were her idea⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  nor do genital shapes equate to gender and bathroom choices

  For most people out there, they do.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I can't use heated seats on my BMW unless I pay a monthly subscription⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Problem is once one of them do it, all of them do it

  Yes. Because people kept buying it. Most consumers are either ignorant or retarded. If a company does something and the money stop flowing because people stop buying it, they would reverse their course VERY quickly. Nothing forces a company as much as consumers stop buying.

  The problem is that most people apparently don’t give a shit about their consumer rights and will just mindlessly buy the next device that fucks their rights up the ass.

  Fair stance, but idk how you keep large codebases structured without some kind of classes man.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When Windows users find the Threadiverse⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh it does happen. I’ve had people tell me linux isn’t a desktop OS multiple times and they listed ludicrous reasons that either are completely irrelevant or not true for like 10 years.

  I’ve also had people tell me that PHP is a shit programming language and the reasons for them hating it were all outdated for like years or even decades. Once had some kid at a university I gave a lecture tell me “PHP doesn’t even have classes wtf how are you coding in that shit?” my man classes were introduced in PHP 5 which was released 22 YEARS ago, you weren’t even BORN when PHP5 was released.

  Some people just want to hate something. Mostly if it’s something that’s “competing” with what they’re using. And that’s especially true in the tech world.
