  Yeah it’s arguable that Steam is a monopoly but somehow billion dollar publishers can’t create a store to sell their own products without fucking it up with annoying bullshit. Pay the 30% to protect you from yourselves.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google is killing privacy sandbox in Chrome.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Google has been kicking the can on ending third party cookie support for years. Chrome has such a large market share that whatever they decide to do has a huge impact on the ability to monetize content with ads.

  There’s no clear direct replacement for identifying users for ad targeting outside of 3pty cookies. Lots of competing ‘privacy preserving frameworks’ but they all need buy in from many players at scale to be effective.

  Yeah I distinctly remember N64 games being $60 in the late 90s. We saved a lot with digital downloads vs retail over the years but it is funny that games have largely been level in price for 30 years at this point.

  Ah i forgot it was Pterodactyl specifically, thanks for confirming!

  P.S. to my handler at the agency, please forgive my search history this morning. The video above is what I was trying to find.

  I swear there’s a video out there some where of multiple dudes in dinosaur costumes replaying this exact scenario. It’s ancient.

  At least Ontario is being predictable. The reality TV script writing our government runs off is a terrible foundation for any kind of series negotiation.

  Went down the hole, part of it soon to become a Microsoft data center. Makes sense when you have access to a shit ton of fresh water.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Israeli speaker of parliament calls for bombing food stocks in Gaza now that Israel has cut off their food and water.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Honestly appreciate folks in the comments verifying screenshots of social posts are real.

  Google offers that feature but only with an Enterprise Workspace account.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨California lawmakers to begin special session to 'Trump-proof' state laws⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Marches in? They’re already here. There are multiple significant bases of operation for the four branches in California. Not sure about Space Force.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨USA | California governor vetoes bill requiring speeding alerts in new cars⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I generally liked Scott Weiner’s legislation but am glad this bill was vetoed.

  My RAV4 already detects the limit sign, displays the posted speed on the dash, and turns that limit red when traveling 10 over. It makes me aware of what the limit is without a distracting beep that could be confused with other warnings already implemented like rapidly slowing traffic ahead.

  Safety Saturation is a real thing. If the car starts beeping for going with the flow of a traffic then drivers just start ignoring them all.
