This wasn’t a matter of life and death as this was a wholly unnecessary move that violates Venezuela’s sovereignty. The only one pushing was the White House. Palmer sucks, don’t make excuses for him.

Really showing how much he values his “principles”. Remember kids, principles only matter when they’re convenient! Thats what makes them deeply held beliefs.
- Comment on World's Best-selling Video Game Consoles 6 days ago:
It’s 2025 sales numbers are about 4 million, half that of 2024, and that’s with half the year with no successor console. Maybe it’ll beat it, but I don’t feel it’s a foregone conclusion
- Comment on World's Best-selling Video Game Consoles 1 week ago:
Probably not, unless Nintendo releases a surprise last iteration of the console which I also don’t see as that may cannibalize Switch 2 sales. A Switch Micro would be cool though

Despite all their efforts to lobotomize it, grok always slowly works its way back to rationality. At least, so far it has.
- Comment on YSK Tempur Mattresses fail quickly and the warranty is fake 1 week ago:
If that’s the case then Tempurpedic shouldn’t offer a 10 year warranty they don’t intend to honor.

Unless they are yet another company hiding behind bullshit arbitration T’s and C’s.

Unfortunately no, my bro is a “flatlander” who moved to Vermont 25 years ago or so.

Ah, looks like I was misremembering, thanks for setting me straight. Got me wondering if I’m hallucinating about the multiplat promise now too

Sounds like you may have a vasovagal reaction? My dad gets that too.

Things are a lot better now that the EU forced apple’s hand in implementing RCS, at least.
I haven’t forgotten the fact that at the apple event announcing iMessage they claimed it would come to other platforms at a later date. That was before they realized what a strong moat it was. For how much they claim to put the user first, they really only do so when it benefits their bottom line or they’re forced to by regulators. Fingers crossed third party app stores come to more places than just the EU and Japan.

The issue with the second one was their failure to notify users about the throttling. It is a decent solution for an end of life battery to throttle the device to prevent crashes.

The UI lead just left the company within the last couple of months. Reports are the staff is overjoyed at that news. A lot of turnover in their leadership this past year, actually. Feels like this may be a new chapter coming up for the company. Rumor is Tim Apple may retire next year.

I’ve been playing Metroid Prime 4. It’s ok, only more of what I expected, nothing incredible like Dread was for me. You can definitely feel how it’s cobbled together after being in development hell.
I finally picked up Dave the Diver on sale, looking forward to digging into that soon.

Because I like to argue.
Say no more, I get in the mood from time to time myself.
In case you don’t already know, you can also perform a personal instance block in your profile. Fair play if you want a new account, but figured I’d call out that option out there for you as well.

I guess being a transphobe is praxis?

A Cryptofascist is a fascist that is hiding the fact that they’re a fascist. Definitely a thing that happens, generally in order to slowly win people over to their line of fascist thinking before they feel comfortable taking off their mask. Other times they just do it to sealion or other types of bad faith bullshit.
In this context it’s just a way for tankies to accuse people they’re mad at of being nazis without any credible evidence. They’re just pissy that piefed is off doing its own thing and undermining the work of the transphobic authcom Lemmy devs.

They call it Alligator Alcatraz. No other corrections on that, though. It’s immensely shameful.
- Comment on Vince Zampella, video game developer behind 'Call of Duty' franchise, killed in mountain road crash 2 weeks ago:
It was so damn good. One of those games where I paid for all the DLC just because I wanted more of it and I know how EA operates. Too bad Apex seemed to kill off that hope.
RIP Vince, you made an indelible mark on the industry and will forever be remembered.

They still all use the safari engine though, unless something has changed and I missed it.

If it’s anything like the EU setup, it’s based off of where your iCloud account is based out of. At least I think that was what it was last time I went looking.

Probably the same people running Pokémon card hustles. I recently saw a guy acting all pissy he had to wait in line at target to buy some packs, started berating the workers “you work at target, you’re broke as fuck”. The workers actually went in on him, I was so happy to see it. They made fun of him for trying to hustle over cards for children and told him to go home and cry to his mom about it.
Thats the kind of loser wasting their time on 2-5 dollar profit per return.
