This is hilarious. AI doesn’t have the latest news, it’s convinced we’re joking and reality can’t be this bad…

I’m not sure that’s why.

My two cents: I got really annoyed with windows after a random update pushing stuff I don’t want or need, so I spun up Ubuntu. I’ve used a lot in the past, but stopped using it because of anti-cheat in some games, got tired of switching whenever I wanted to play.

Coming back, I find out about snaps. Not a good start, but I found instructions to revert to the good old apt packages I wanted. But then I spent way too long trying to coax the taskbar/system/clock to appear where I wanted them to, plus having things working well in my multi monitor setup, and at some point I just went back to Windows.

I couldn’t care less about distro squabbles, but I do care greatly about usability and polish, and it seems like we’re taking steps back here.

Throw some corn in there and crank up the heat.

Don’t you think the goggles would be useful?

In any case I looked it up, seems like apple will just lent them out if you have a solid pitch for a VR APP:

It was infested by Russian bots even before it was bought by a Russian bot

Probably the dev would have to spend more, usually Dev kits come with a bunch of handy features for debugging/testing, but including SDK and licensing yeah, more money.

Isn’t that what they did Florida? At this pace, they’ll run out of states to leave soon enough…

Bro over there was skating at nearly the speed of light, but backwards. Or something, I’m not a physicist.

Shhh don’t spoil it, that’s the plot twist for the season finale!

Adding a +1 to this, same situation. For the longest time, I had to keep a running totall in my head, down to the cent, of the few things I put in the supermarket cart to make sure I had money to pay for them.

Life has been kind, and gradually things got better and when it sunk in that I was OK was when I realized that at some point I had stopped counting the cents.

Nowadays I treasure my time and my wellbeing more than money - I won’t do something that takes away from that, even if pays more.

Clearly there’s people who won’t stop at a billion dollars, but for me, the freedom of adding whatever I want to my cart without having to think if I can afford it is all I need to live a happy life.

A perfect fit for the EU then, is what I’m reading…

EU needs to formally invite Canada to the union in response.

I’m not too familiar with that specific Georgia’s law, but from the article it cracks down on illegal immigration and the companies that hire them.

I don’t think that this specific law is the issue, illegal immigration and all the exploitation of vulnerable people that come with that status needs to end.

The ex’s perspective is just a harem anime, where he gets bullied relentlessly by the girls who still don’t 100% believe the shape shifter story but are willing to look for it just in case.

Writer Cary Bates says that the Supermobile was created as a promotional tie-in for the Corgi Toys toy line: “In my opinion, whenever merchandising needs are dictating story content, the odds of any real creativity or inspiration are severely compromised”.

Yah, we could tell…

There’s a good chance you’ll inherit the pathology as well

Try finding a triple A game released in the last 10 years that hasnt been heavily designed around multiplayer

What? In 2024 alone, would you say games like Alan Wake 2, Baldurs Gate 3 or Elden Ring are “heavily designed around multiplayer”?

Sure you have your FIFA’s and CoD and a bunch of other MP games, but single player games are still a thing.

Never been to America, no idea where Alabama is, but it’s a well known fact that they… love family very much.

The scary thought here isn’t that they’re actively listening in.

It’s that they know enough about you to know that something will be of interest to you before you even realise it yourself…
