  • Steam is basically a PC gaming monopoly, so why isn’t anyone mad?

    Jump

  • Not a monopoly. Only people mad at Steam are competitors. Competitors focus on shareholders, Steam focuses on gamers, you know, their customers.

  • Trump says US will blockade strait of Hormuz after Iran peace talks fail

    Jump

  • "You're not blockading it! I'M BLOCKADING IT!"

  • Inside Project Nova, Firefox's biggest redesign in years

    Jump

  • You have to remember that when Mozilla first formed the goal was to create a mini-OS in the browser with apps and the whole caboodle. With that they then wanted TO DOMINATE THE WORLD!!!! But their vision was tricky and taking way longer than expected, so they released Firefox as a temporary band-aid. Firefox went on to be their greatest project while the Mozilla Project burned, fell over in the swap, and was bulldozed into the sea. Over at Mozilla HQ there is still resentment that Firefox is their greatest project. They never gave up on WORLD DOMINATION. It's like the ego of Marc Andreessen haunts them like a ghost.

    With AI, they see their opportunity for WORLD DOMINATION and are going for it again.

  • Trump is waging war based on instinct and it isn't working

    Jump

  • On top of the distraction angle, Trump, like a typical bully, thought Iran would cower in fear and just roll over for an easy win.

  • US bans any new consumer-grade routers not made in America

    Jump

  • Buy a mini-PC and install something like OPNSense, PFSense, or WRT, etc.

  • US bans any new consumer-grade routers not made in America

    Jump

  • I think it is more the US government saying, "Hey, you can't do that! Only WE can do that!"

  • Lawmakers call for Air Canada chief to resign after English-only message to plane crash victims

    Jump

  • The Quebecois response to his language is. Remember, English IS an official language of Canada. It was a choice to set aside the tragedy and make it about Quebec politics.

  • Lawmakers call for Air Canada chief to resign after English-only message to plane crash victims

    Jump

  • But if this guy went out there and spoke shitty French, the Quebec rabble rousers would have been equally, if not even more, furious. The guy was expecting them to have some understanding in the face of tragedy, but that's a bridge too far. Quebec had to make it about themselves.

  • Light bulbs

    Jump

  • Do you want normal bulbs? Or do you want RGB bulbs? If you're sticking to normal bulbs, they're cheap and you are likely going to be better off with smart switches. But it does require some hardware spend.

  • Light bulbs

    Jump

  • If they are regular bulbs, I'd go with smart switches instead.

  • Age checks creep into Linux as systemd gets a DOB field

    Jump

  • I've never heard of a REASON to not use systemd, other than OMG! Change!

  • Anything but optimization for game devs.

  • For Ukraine and Russia, widening Iran war presents peril and possibility

    Jump

  • OTOH, Iran proved Russian air defenses are ineffective against the US Air Force.

  • Jeff Kaplan is sick of hearing you demonize games you weren't going to play anyway: 'Shut the f**k up. No one cares. We don't need to hear that you weren't into it'

    Jump

  • First, stop demonizing customers you'll never have.

  • Warren says 'it's so much worse than you thought' after classified Iran briefing

    Jump

  • We won't. Everyone says that every time we go to war in the ME, and we always waffle stomp them. ME armies are vastly overrated and no one outside of Israel has logistics worth a damn. The real problem is after the Iranian military is defeated, what do we do then? No real goals and competent exit strategy means we're creating a new Isis or Taliban with the power vacuum.

  • Can AI do 40% of your job? Block’s Jack Dorsey thinks so.

    Jump

  • Remember boys and girls, AI doesn't have to be as good as you to take your job. Just has to be good enough. Because AI doesn't go home for the night, it doesn't take vacation, it doesn't take sick days, it doesn't care about holidays, it doesn't go to the bathroom, it won't go get a cup of coffee, it doesn't need pay and benefits, it doesn't require payroll taxes be paid...

    And now think about how the economy seems to have shifted to catering to the wealthy. Vegas only wants the high rollers, everyone else fuck off. Car companies have priced all their vehicles like luxury vehicles even if they didn't do anything to make them luxury. Companies know only the wealthy will be able to buy anything in the near future.

  • Middle East war could be decided by who runs out of missiles or interceptors first, analysts say

    Jump

  • And since our billionaire class gifted away our industrial capacity to other countries, we can't engage in an attrition war now. But our military planners and civilian leadership haven't caught up to that.
