Yeah, angrily jabbing a phone screen realllllyyyy does not have the same satisfaction whatsoever.

Might just be me looking at the game with rose colored glasses and the game may not have aged well - but I remember having a blast playing Golden Sun as a kid. I think you’d enjoy it if you like JRPGs.

I think Xi is counting on the west to be too distracted by Ukraine and Israel to effectively support Taiwan.

Also, speculation on my part - but this feels like the usual posturing/distraction playbook. China’s economy isn’t doing so hot and the government’s bungling of COVID is still fresh in everyone’s minds, so what better way to make people forget about that than to saber rattle?

Maybe it’s just morbid fascination with the slow motion trainwreck that’s Twitter?

Yup. That’s been my experience too.

I also get aggressively pushed some conservative news sources in my main feed even though I never subscribed to any of those.

This sucks. I really liked SmartNews but this explains why it’s been so terrible as of late.

What’s funny is Google pushed me to turn off all my targeted ad preferences + watch history on YT. I basically did what you did and they started pushing me PragerU and other weird conservative ads, so I just straight turned everything personalized off. And pretty much stopped using the platform.

Yeah. It’s a joke given their executive comp is higher than the awarded amount.

Gotta collect ‘em all!

The repo still exists. GitHub is just having an outage

That’s why they cut off outbound communications. If you don’t photograph or video them doing war crimes, then they’re not committing them, right?

I was just amazed that it took him so long to roll out a predatory monetization model…

Yes, erm… totally about building beautiful cities.

This is giving me “how do you do, fellow kids” vibes.

I don’t think China has ever even tried to pretend it’s the land of the free.

Unfortunately, Twitter was only up for sale because it wasn’t able to effectively monetize. On the other hand, Meta has figured out how to make money hand over fist.

I think the easiest route to get Musk to own Meta is if we goaded him + Zuck into a pay per view fist fight over ownership of Meta.

I don’t know enough about corporate finance or how Mozilla is structured, but why is the CEO the only one marked with “paid only by a related for profit”? Is this coming from money from Mozilla Corporation? Why is she the only one being paid from there and not the others? Does that maybe have something to do with the disparity in pay?

He’s a giant garbage person.

It’s just kind of pitiful to hear stuff like this about him. All of his actions just reek of desperation of wanting to be respected and liked. He’s so controlling because it seems he’s so insecure.

Given that they make >$30B a quarter in revenue, probably not. They probably count the fine of $100k/day as a cost of doing business.

How about getting rid of the buffoons who completely undermine the legitimacy of the court? No? Okay. You keep going off Ketanji Brown Jackson. We love to see it.

I love this so much. I need all tech to be explained to me this way

I agree! To clarify, what I meant was that I was disappointed that Dems, including Biden, aren’t backing someone younger. Whatever happened to uplifting the next generation?

Shhhh! Xi Jin Pooh doesn’t like being called a dictator. 🙄

Yeah. I don’t know why the Dems aren’t running someone younger…

I wasn’t thrilled about Biden either, but I think Biden handled negotiations with Europe for Ukraine very well.

But yeah, I get jealous every time I look at other countries’ leadership and see how young they are…

This should be the top comment in anything related to Activision-Blizzard so that people don’t forget. And Bobby Kotick is STILL CEO.

This is most of the reason why I haven’t bought D4. (Well, that and I got burned real hard by D3 midnight release.) I liked single player games BECAUSE they didn’t require internet access.

This drives me freaking bonkers. A lot of times libraries tend not to expose the env var to discourage its usage but IF YOU MADE IT IN THE FIRST PLACE YOU HAD A USE CASE FOR IT.

The nicest thing I can say about this guy is… umm… he died doing what he loved?

What games? How well does that work? I find that even streaming to my MacBook from my Steam Deck is insanely slow.

According to the article, this lawyer also clerked for Clarence Thomas. It’s insane that Thomas is still a Supreme Court justice:

• Clarence Thomas’s wife Ginni Thomas pushed officials to try and overturn the 2020 election results.
• He was the only dissenting justice in the Supreme Court’s vote to approve the turnover of Trump documents to the Jan 6th committee
• He is friends with Harlan Crow, a billionaire who is a part of a group called Club for Growth. This club has donated millions to GOP candidates that supported overturning the 2020 election results.

“This dangerous drinking pattern means 8 or more drinks for women and 10 or more drinks for men on one occasion,” the institute noted on its website.

It doesn’t matter if alcohol tolerance is actually a thing or not, 8-10+ drinks means you’re non-functional.
