  • US May Owe £760BN in Tariff Refunds if Trump Loses at Supreme Court

    Jump

  • I think they are referring to the conservative justices on the Supreme Court.

    Much of the point of an preliminary injunction is to prevent irreversible harm to parties... but in their selective application of them, they repeatedly value the executive branch's feelings over the Constitution, the rule-of-law, and in this case a US$1T clusterfuck on the people of the United States.

  • Gabe Newell caps off Steam Machine week by taking delivery of a new $500 million superyacht with a submarine garage, on-board hospital and 15 gaming PCs

    Jump

  • Definitely, agreed with you on all these points.

  • Tell me what a zionist game is. I'm not from the USA nor do I live there. I've told my local representative to have my country recognize Palestine, that's since been done.

    Anyway, I wish you a good day riding upon your high horse.

  • Okay, thanks for the feedback.

  • Canada probes Chinese truck bodies as imports surge, pressuring domestic builders

    Jump

  • On a somewhat related note, we can't get domestically-assembled diesel-generator and battery hybrid commercial trucks on the road due to a quirk in emissions standards rules. We should adopt or at least be compatible with Euro standards here.

  • Ottawa’s austerity plan pushes women out — just before pay equity kicks in

    Jump

  • The government saves money twice: now, through staffing cuts, and again in 2027, when the pay equity bill comes due—with far fewer women left to collect it.

    It is definitely inequitable and unfair in my opinion, but this double savings might end up being viewed positively by Canadians.

  • ‘We need a mass program of deshittification’: Avi Lewis on rebuilding Canada’s public services

    Jump

  • I like his choice of words here. To be fair, I could back the vision of any of the current candidates be it Heather, Avi, Rob, Tanille, Tony, but members should democratically decide then start to coalesce around it and go boldly forth in that direction.

    My only worry for Avi, is that if any part of this race gets even a slight tinge of meddling from the party management apparatus, it will cement the idea in the public view that he is the Nepotism-Dependent Party candidate. That would be a terrible look right when the party is trying to turn a page.

  • (German) Digital Sovereignty: Why We Trust Our Devs More Than Big Tech

    Jump

  • Und das Beste? Unseren Devs macht's Spass damit zu arbeiten und ihr könnt es selbst nachbauen; egal in welcher Ausprägung: Für das eigene Unternehmen? Für euren Arrr-Stack zu Hause?

  • An Update on Cities: Skylines II - Development moved to Iceflake Studios

    Jump

  • I don't need anything from City Skylines 2 other than a fully fledged custom 3d asset importer. Then it will be as if the game has thousands of unpaid staff making content. Though if this next team picks up from an unfamiliar location it might still be a long time before we could even think of getting it.

    More updates will be nice.

  • United Airlines says a window seat doesn't need to have a window.

    Jump

  • Wall seat or outer seat, I would think.

    It was only because of airlines' decision to change seating layouts that made it out of alignment with the aircraft's windows to maximize capacity, and since then they have been attempting to redefine the what a window seat is.

  • In a shift, Trump says House Republicans should vote to release Epstein files

    Jump

  • Okay. And the Senate?

  • ‘Heartbroken’: Charlotte pushes back as Trump targets city in immigration raids

    Jump

  • A very thin silver lining from these atrocities, is that Trump is bringing the consequences of the "border wall" rhetoric all across the country.

    From here on out, there should be no mistake; Republican leaders had no intent on keeping their "enforcement" in some place far away from their voters. It eventually comes for everyone.

    (Edit: I wrote this too early in the morning, filled in a lot of words)

  • ‘Trump is inconsistent with Christian principles’: why the Democratic party is seeing a rise of white clergy candidates

    Jump

  • I hope their faith guides them but does not control nor blind them.

  • New international student enrollment fell sharply this year amid the Trump administration's immigration crackdown

    Jump

  • If this keeps going, the US will be saying goodbye to their high tech and research industries in a few years...

    I'm sure all the coal mining, oil & gas drilling, AI hyping and healthcare denying industries will make up for it and make America great.

  • Steve Bannon Offered Trump’s MAGA as Shield for Jeffrey Epstein

    Jump

  • I have no idea what kind of normal person would think of Steve Bannon as anything other than a vile, sleazy, two-faced snake.

    ... This coalition staves off ‘Times Up’ for next decade plus.”

    “Time’s Up” was a movement originating Hollywood designed to hold powerful men accountable for sexual abuse and misconduct. By September that year, Bannon publicly positioned himself as a supporter, describing Time’s Up as “the single most powerful potential political movement in the world” at festival in New York, and wondering why the #MeToo movement “hasn’t cut through corporate America with a bigger scythe”.

  • Gabe Newell caps off Steam Machine week by taking delivery of a new $500 million superyacht with a submarine garage, on-board hospital and 15 gaming PCs

    Jump

  • And I mean Gabe is overseeing the Valve team's success, allowing his employees to develop at their pace and following what appears to be their passion. They aren't shoehorning AI or whatever the latest buzzword to goose some imaginary number. Gabe was pissed at Windows enough, he used to work for Microsoft, so he's instrumental in helping break Microsoft's monopoly on gaming operating systems by supporting Linux compatibility and releasing first party hardware.

    He deserves credit for the culture he cultivates in his company and shares in its success. Likewise, shame should be where shame is due, like with the whole lootbox gambling economy thing. The main reason why it is viewed as refreshingly good is because they seem to be one of the few big companies that still believe that profit growth comes from valuing employees, suppliers (gamedevs) and consumers, rather than trying to squeeze every last drop of profit no matter how cruel. It should be the norm yet it seems to be the exception.

    It would be nice to have no billionaires, but right now we live in a world where government tells states to clawback aid they gave to hungry families so taxing the rich, or acting in any way that resembles normalcy, is a lot to expect right now. We can let Gabe make a silly luxury purchase.

    If Valve burns the trust it has earned, then I will move away from them too, I don't owe Gabe or Valve anything.
