  • Wondering what's fueling the AI bubble? Spoiler: it's not company profits. It's this.

  • Sad to see the Swiss are still complying with demands from a fascist regime.

    If you're going to be doing illegal shit in your activism, you should consider using anonymous communication methods like SimpleX.

  • Was that offered to you?

  • It's kind of a shitty thing about modern gaming, is that the game revolves around the community, and if you're not part of the community, you don't know WTF is going on, because they never explain anything in the game.

    I got pretty sucked into it playing Destiny 1 like 10 years ago but eventually it was too much fucking work and not enough fun.

  • I hope to never ever see this kind of behavior happen within the Fediverse, because we are supposed to be better than this.

    That's pretty naive, honestly.

  • Saying "The people voted for this" sounds logical but the reality on the ground makes the statement wholly disingenuous.

    It's not. There's no other way to have a govt "for the people" than to hold an election.

    it functions as a thought-terminating cliche and provides cover for a class of power who continuously work to keep this set of circumstances cemented in place.

    That may be but it doesn't make it untrue.

  • Unfortunately, the people voted for this.

  • That would feel even sweeter if they were losing money on every Helix sold.

    They wouldn't lose money for the same reason Steam doesn't lose money; they sell them at market value. That's (part of) why they're so expensive.

  • WTF are you talking about? Linux offers a local account, Windows ONLY offers a corporate account...

  • Oh buddy, watch them try.

    It's always hilarious to me that these politicians are incapable of picking up the phone and calling someone who knows a fucking thing about technology.

  • They're going to do what Steam is doing and just open up Xbox branding for licensing on PC hardware, much like they did with XBOX Ally. So there will be something for everyone.

    Except people who hate Microsoft, but they were never going to buy it anyway.

  • Despite that, they say that GitHub didn’t even respond to their counterclaims, and just shut the whole thing down the minute Nintendo asked.

    You are a fly on the wall of one of the biggest tech companies in the world. They have no interest in going to court for you just so you can keep your emulator on their site.

  • but not for 3rd party app stores.

    Yes it is.

    The app stores inside Google Play would be 2nd party app stores.

    It's only 2nd party if there's some sort of transaction involved, which there isn't AFAIK.

  • What Android version are you on?

  • No they were forced by Epic.

  • They have existed but they're now available in the Google Play Store.
