  • Microsoft admits Windows 11 has a GDID tracker with no off switch, first documented publicly in an FBI hacker complaint

  • It's not the PC games keeping people so much. Proton solved a lot of that problem. It's inertia.

    Most people don't care about things. They just don't. Their brains just don't have the juice.

  • Being poor is expensive

    Jump

  • This could be a fantastic idea, and maybe a hammer blow to the "return to office" bullshit.

    Sure, I'll go into the office. Pay me 25% more to account for the travel time.

  • They have already decided to promote an existing employee. But play the "search" game and screw you

    Jump

  • My leading hypothesis is "management is stupid". It explains a lot of this sort of thing.

  • Greater Manchester candidate says non-Reform voters should house ‘migrant rapists’

    Jump

  • Honestly forcing them to deal with people who are currently out-group on a personal level would probably help. It's easy to hate shifting, vague, ideas of Other. It's a lot harder to hate Raul, who cooks that amazing dish and tells the funniest jokes

  • Labor force participation falls to 61.5%, the lowest in 50 years outside COVID, and economists say it's not just people giving up

    Jump

  • I've been applying to jobs for like a year. Very few interviews. So much AI slop and froth.

    The place I'm at is barely hiring, but it's like a rotting corpse of a megacorp. They take months to do anything.

  • So others know they're safe

    Jump

  • I live in NY and I see a lot of pride flags all the time. It's nice. Earlier this summer I visited some folks in like South Jersey and it was striking, once I noticed, how few pride flags there were. I saw one. I saw a lot of trump stuff.

    A woman friend of mine that's married to a woman said she's seriously discussed with her wife if they're going to stop visiting folks there, because it doesn't feel safe.

  • Oh no, that Mamdani gave money to SCHOOLS?!

    Jump

  • Can we make the New York post just... Go away? They're a net negative on society

  • I started looking up party registration of my doctors and I feel my medical experience has improved.

    Jump

  • Kind of makes sense. To be a Republican you have to have some traits, and many of those are bad. Those bad traits would affect all sorts of things.

    New York's Mayor Promised Faster Buses. Now He Has a Road Map.

    Jump

  • Increasing traffic surveillance to automatically ticket scofflaws who block bus lanes, and deploying police officers to enforce rules on 20 daily routes, up from 14.

    Good. Anti social assholes blocking bus lanes (and bike lanes) need to be stopped. They probably have a primitive moral reasoning framework, so maybe punishment is the only thing that understand.

  • I love this post because they said (Vegan) like it's a fallout skill check

    Jump

  • GameRant Using AI to slander

    Jump

  • You shouldn't be allowed to own that much stuff. Simple solution.

  • We've all been there

    Jump

  • I recently reopened Witcher 3, and was kind of surprised by how the graphics aren't as lifelike as my memory. I remember being a lot more impressed by the bodies when it was new.

  • Tell those Bikers to stop being so DEI

    Jump

  • It's all in-group pandering and shitty petro-masculinity. No conservatives should be in power. They are bad people.

  • Launch already!

    Jump

  • I think some games on steam you can just launch from the executable file. I rarely have, because my process is usually "open steam.. stare at list of games.. pick one", so steam is already open.

    But yeah, at least it adds some value (proton magic, recording and screenshots, the overlay used to be real useful when i only had one monitor...)

  • Deleted

    Final Fantasy VIII does so much wrong, but it is great!

    Jump

  • I really disliked how leveling up made you weaker. Things scaled with your level faster than the stat gains empowered you. Completely stupid design.

    The card game is also too rewarding and too obscure. Without a guide, you'd never catch on to stuff like "lose this card to this unnamed person, then win a better version back from this other unnamed person". Also various "everything is on fire! You wanna play cards?" moments really hamper the pacing and tone. But you want to play it, because it gives a ton of power.

    Discouraging you from actually using magic was an interesting experiment, but I don't think it was fun. Maybe it could have been rebalanced, but as-is you just stocked up on magic for the stats.

    I don't remember the story very well. I remember getting locked out of a lot of content because I went past a point of no return without realizing it.

  • Meta Buried Research Linking Instagram To Teen Harm While Facing $1.4 Trillion Penalty That Could Erase Its Entire Worth

  • Good. Break them up. Criminally charge their leadership.

  • New Vegas devs Obsidian are reportedly working on a new Fallout game, and only Microsoft could make news I've waited half my life for taste this bitter

    Jump

  • Fuck Microsoft. It's easy to not buy their shit. I've been doing it all day.

  • Delete your Facebook accounts. (Probably preaching to the choir here, but still)

  • "It never trickles down": Bernie Sanders hits out at Microsoft over mass layoffs and console price rises

    Jump

  • I've had a conversation with several coworkers trying to get them to connect the dots between "you get paid by the hour" - "if you produce more per hour, you don't get paid more" - "the owners keep the profits" - "they'll never let you just work less"
