• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Billionaire Mark Zuckerberg writes a manifesto on bringing "personal superintelligence" to everyone to improve humanity, but doesn't even define what superintelligence means.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It means whatever the shareholders wanna hear, because they slobber each others knob for literally fucking anything, that sounds like it’ll make money from a pump and dump

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Another Google Pixel 6a catches fire after battery-nerfing update⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Because they would gaslight half the 6a owners into upgrading their phone this way

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ubisoft's annual report dictates that the consumers are the problem⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Ubislop need to be reminded that if you make a shit product, with a legally abusive EULA, no one owes you anything. You will go out of business, and we’ll applaud as your headquarters are repossessed by the real estate company

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Itch.io apologise for "frustration and confusion" after delisting thousands of NSFW projects⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I would understand forcibly banning/removing something, if it poses a real existential threat to the majority of people.

  But religion fueled bigotry, in a place where you can CHOOSE to buy and play something, or completely ignore and hide if you’d like? Come on. Adults can decide if they want to have access to this content on their own, without a completely unrelated third party constantly trying to fucking inject themselves in between

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨OpenAI’s Sam Altman warns of AI voice fraud crisis in banking⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I find it really fascinating, how these people think everything is a complete non-issue, unless money is involved. The society can fuck itself, but if their bank account is at risk, then it’s scorched earth time

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does anyone else find it suspicious that there wasn't any criticism on here about Stop Killing Games until after it hit 1.4M signatures?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The entire complaint was based on nothing too. They claimed he’s orchestrating some crazy financial scheme, and getting paid 6 digits from it, when he’s not only doing it for free, but can’t even participate in the initiative to begin with

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nintendo touts high employee retention rate after loss of Microsoft jobs rocks Xbox Game Studios⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Japanese corporations overwork people to literal death, but at least you’re not going to be laid off 2 months into a new job. Not as big of a flex as they think it is

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Has the live-service dream crashed back down to earth? | Opinion⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  x as a service has always been a net negative for the consumer, and a net positive for the seller.

  It strips them away from responsibility, because you can sell incomplete dogshit under a promise of future patches, or push something out for a price, and then continue raising the price, as you pump out more stuff into the system.

  In the case of games specifically, we’ve all seen the typical outcomes. Low effort slop, with a flood of “micro” transactions at a later date, or complete abandonment

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨LIMBO and INSIDE are being delisted from GOG on July 17th⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Having played both, the answer is definitely yes. They’re not particularly long, but really solid

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Realized 99% of all my chargers are USB-C. This can only mean one thing. New USB bout to drop!⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The connector itself is perfectly fine, which is incredible, and exactly what people wanted. Plus there’s a ton of room for technological improvement under the hood, if needed. USB/Thunderbolt standards spread for a whole range of specs now, all under the Type-C connector

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Against the Storm - Nightwatchers DLC Trailer⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve really enjoyed this game, but haven’t bought the first expansion yet though. This one looks quite cool too!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why Americans Can’t Buy the World’s Best Electric Car⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They’ve actually done the exact opposite. The lobbying, the import laws, the absence of a foreign export market, and the manufacturing of cars that would never pass safety laws anywhere else, all resulted in the kind of dogshit that Americans have to experience now. Why improve if you’re the only player

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Exclusive: OpenAI to release web browser in challenge to Google Chrome⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They can keep this privacy invading dogshit to themselves

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When does Trump finally start taking accountability?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The most likely answer is it’ll happen when he finally pisses off his own minions enough. He’s more likely to die, before he’ll see any kind of real punishment for anything.

  Now that he’s about to rob several millions of people of basic needs being met, maybe things will start moving

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Kids are making deepfakes of each other, and laws aren’t keeping up⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Lawmakers are grappling with how to address …

  Just a reminder that the government is actively voting against regulations on AI, because obviously a lot of these people are pocketing lobbyist money

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  No one gets a third term, and that’s not negotiable. They can get the guillotine though

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨There is no such thing as truly objective YouTube search results⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Didn’t think it could get worse, and yet here we are. Not sure if it were an experiment, but for a while now my search results were always exactly 5 relevant videos, a block of shorts, and then just completely unrelated stuff.

  I don’t really understand why we can’t have it, like it was before. If you’re subbed to a channel, you get the videos in your feed as they come in, and search just works as intended.

  They are engineering solutions for problems that don’t need to exist

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘FuckLAPD.com’ Lets Anyone Use Facial Recognition to Instantly Identify Cops⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What are they so afraid of? They’re public servants, so they should be publicly identifiable. If they don’t like it, get off the government payroll

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨First Tesla Robotaxi Ride⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The “autopilot”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨First Tesla Robotaxi Ride⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s the obvious answer, but it was available long before the orange twat too

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨First Tesla Robotaxi Ride⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I genuinely cannot understand how this 4th reich mobile is legally allowed to not just have this feature available to the public, but also sell it for a considerable amount of money. Even on US roads, it is not even remotely close to ready

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Borderlands 4 Price Has Been Confirmed⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It would be yet another spit in the face, if they released a 80$ base game, with the typical 2 season passes, totaling almost 300$ in dlcs of questionable quality. But I wouldn’t hold my breath for anything, because it’s 2K and Gearbox we’re talking about

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Salt Lake City, plans to implement AI-assisted 911 call triaging to handle ~30% of about 450K non-emergency calls per year⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  People will inevitably die as a result of this change. Call your representatives

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Xbox Game Pass might be getting a price hike⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  At some point, it will only be worth it, if you either finish games at an alarming rate, or play so many different games, that buying them separately would make no sense

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam beta gets native Apple Silicon support — the only public Arm version of Steam⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Probably not. Steam for macOS still has no SteamPlay support, so your best bet is installing the regular Steam through a separate Heroic prefix. Works great, but it does still require Rosetta.

  That said, Box64 and FEX are both making a lot of progress, so it’d be awesome to see these in action officially soon

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple’s most sweeping software redesign disappoints mainland Chinese consumers⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  If this were an optional “skin” of sorts, it would have been completely fine with me. But this is a forced redesign, and a really bad one at that. There will likely be changes before the GM release comes out, but overall I just don’t like the design direction, nor the performance implications

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨iFixit says the Switch 2 is even harder to repair than the original⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Still has an LCD panel, and still has regular sticks. I guess saving 0.10$ per unit adds up

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Twitch is getting vertical livestreams⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I understand that the overwhelming majority of people will still continue streaming at 16:9, or the vertical equivalent. It’s not just about ownership of ultrawide displays. It’s about support for such output format, for people who do want it. But even going by your own example, a ton of phones are 19.5:9, with some models straight up being 21:9

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Twitch is getting vertical livestreams⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  We’re getting vertical streams before 21:9 aspect ratio support. Come on

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gemini will now automatically summarize your long emails unless you opt out⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  And we’ll just watch them either get slapped by an insignificant fine, or watch them weasel their way out of this again, by claiming they made you agree to some perpetual abandonment of rights, like they always do
