  • When you die, what do you want to be done with you?

  • I don't care it's not my body anymore. The people left behind can decide.

  • Should Germany aquire nuclear weapons?

    Jump

  • No, it's illegal. We cannot do this because it's illegal is I think the most German of answers.

    „Die Regierungen der Bundesrepublik Deutschland und der Deutschen Demokratischen Republik bekräftigen ihren Verzicht auf Herstellung und Besitz von und auf Verfügungsgewalt über atomare, biologische und chemische Waffen. Sie erklären, daß auch das vereinte Deutschland sich an diese Verpflichtungen halten wird. Insbesondere gelten die Rechte und Verpflichtungen aus dem Vertrag über die Nichtverbreitung von Kernwaffen vom 1. Juli 1968 für das vereinte Deutschland fort.“

  • This sentiment here is why we live in a post truth world.

  • Have the patents for H.264 MPEG-4 AVC expired yet?

  • I've heard some people say it in England but dunno if it's actually common there. Was only a tourist.

  • Valve first came up with the Steam Hardware Survey more than 20 years ago because it wanted to know what specs it should target for Half-Life 2

  • The definition of digital rights management is licensing? That does not sound right to me.

    A long time before steam the software sector moved to selling licenses only btw.

  • Why only cyclists should wear hi-viz in the dark? Cars can too!

    Jump

  • I actually fully agree with the message. Bring back bright colors for cars!

    Also participating in traffic at night is always a risk so wearing at least a bit of high-viz is just to minimize that. It's not like we are wearing it in jobs for the look.

  • This is the case in steam already. There are lots of (mainly Indy) games that will start fine without steam.

  • Gabe Newell says no-one in the industry thought Steam would work as a distribution platform—'I'm not talking about 1 or 2 people, I mean like 99%'

  • GOG actually has a relatively good selection of Linux games.

  • turned them into their final form!

  • TIL: people hate food that they are not familiar with.

  • Which is definitely strange. Or maybe I know a lot of strange women. Which is not unlikely now that I think about it. We should all be a little strange tbh

  • Gabe Newell ponders the future in new Half-Life 2 documentary: 'I think that Half-Life represents a tool we have and promises made to customers'

    Jump

  • Yes, that is exactly what I'm saying.

    Edit: And with Microsoft it's even more apparent as there were large proprietary operating systems before Microsoft got big.

  • Well you are wrong. I am not saying that this situation is fine. I am saying that it is not the individual company that is the main problem but the system that enables them to begin with.

    Just dismantling valve is not a long term solution. It's short sighted. Without them there would be others in their footsteps. One needs to change the system to change that. Give companies opportunities and they will exploit them. I actually agree with the above comment that legislation / regulation is a solution to this problem.

    That is why I am pissed off that I am called stupid and bootlicker. That is not a good way to discuss things and especially not a good way to get to an understanding.

    And yes I do think that there is a high chance other big tech companies would've done worse than valve. Which is not a great endorsement for them to be clear.

  • Where did I say they are necessary? Where did I say you need a proprietary third party launcher?

    What other statements do you want to put in my mouth?

  • Looking back I really cannot fathom how we watched DVDs and thought the image quality was acceptable. I am way too spoiled by HD and UHD.

  • Don't be naïve. As long as greed is enabled in our society this or worse would've always been the outcome. Or do you think other companies would've slept on the opportunity?

  • Nice strawmen you got there. Where the fuck did you see me defend a billionaire?!

    I am just being realistic here. Our current society enables greed and greed would've always led to this situation or worse. We need to change the system fundamentally to change that.
