That’s so weird, It’s great info but so hard to parse!

No mouse on phone :( why not use the full spectrum of colors? There’s like a 1 shade difference between each one
- Comment on An always up-to-date sheet with verified accounts from news organizations in the #Fediverse 2 days ago:
Need an eyedropper tool to figure out which color represents each country

- Comment on Which game have you been most patient for? 3 days ago:
Same thing I came here to say.
I got the itch and played a campaign on 6 last week and was thinking about what 7 would need for me to buy it…and the answer is an expansion and a deep discount. The feature changed are kinda meh to me
Or maybe hearing that all the buggy stuff that bugs me about 6 is fixed.

This has gotta be the least trustworthy URL I’ve ever seen on a legitimate link
- Comment on Widelands, the open source Settlers-like devs plan to ban all AI generated contributions 1 week ago:
I think you’re taking what I said too negatively toward the developers themselves I put the virtue signalling line in there to hopefully make that clear I wasn’t accusing them of anything. I was more commenting on what kind of news gets picked up by content farms.
I’ve learned about sooo many opensource projects because the devs made some anti-AI comment that got reported here
- Comment on Widelands, the open source Settlers-like devs plan to ban all AI generated contributions 1 week ago:
Attention is currency. I’m learning about the existence of a lot of projects simply because they made anti-AI announcements
Again, I’m not assuming the worst of these devs or any other. I’m just saying you’re more likely to hear about it because everyone knows saying “AI good” will only garner hate for your project and “AI bad” will get you an article or 3
- Comment on Widelands, the open source Settlers-like devs plan to ban all AI generated contributions 1 week ago:
It’s more frequent because making a “NO AI” announcement is cheap publicity.
I won’t go as far as to say it’s virtue signalling but…devs aren’t dumb, they know these game news content farms are going to pick up the story

Saying they’re the same is bad but comparing circumcision to ear piercing is even worse. Piercings heal, that foreskin is gone forever.
- Comment on What's stopping youtube from just going full authoritarian and mandate DRM for all their videos in attempt to prevent people from downloading it or block ads? 1 week ago:
Didn’t even think of that but yeah true. They aim for quality over quantity and it should stay that way
- Comment on What's stopping youtube from just going full authoritarian and mandate DRM for all their videos in attempt to prevent people from downloading it or block ads? 1 week ago:
That doesn’t really have any impact on my point. They’re similar in a few ways but it’s like suggesting Wikipedia becomes an IMDB replacement, it would completely change the brand
- Comment on What's stopping youtube from just going full authoritarian and mandate DRM for all their videos in attempt to prevent people from downloading it or block ads? 1 week ago:
Vimeo is a video hosting platform but it isn’t anywhere near YouTube replacement. It would be such a massive shift in their business model that trying to make it one would result a second dead site
There is no algorithm and search function, I don’t even think there’s a notification feature. Vimeo is mostly for artists to upload to and manually send the link
- Comment on You won: Microsoft is walking back Windows 11’s AI overload — scaling down Copilot and rethinking Recall in a major shift 3 weeks ago:
10% market share is when I expect it to be impossible to ignore and I think we’re gonna get there fast like you alluded to.
But…mainly for games. The corporate crowd will stay on Windows because they benefit from propping up other corporations. PC/laptop manufacturers will still push Windows for the same reason

No way, dude. We’re talking about ICE agents here, they definitely don’t understand anything about international relations

I read your posts when I see them and they’re better than the vast majority of game reviews I’ve read - even if they’re not “formal” reviews.
- Comment on Microsoft CEO warns that we must 'do something useful' with AI or they'll lose 'social permission' to burn electricity on it 5 weeks ago:
I dunno, there’s a pretty big distinction. “Please use our shitty thing” vs “Please make our shitty thing better so people want to use it”
It’s placing “blame” on the industry leaders for failing to make something useful
- Comment on Microsoft CEO warns that we must 'do something useful' with AI or they'll lose 'social permission' to burn electricity on it 5 weeks ago:
Oh you don’t have to convince me it was a mistake, his comment just wasn’t what it’s being made out to be. “Find a use for it or we’re fucked” is a lot different than “please use our product or we’re fucked”
- Comment on Microsoft CEO warns that we must 'do something useful' with AI or they'll lose 'social permission' to burn electricity on it 5 weeks ago:
I was expecting something much worse but to me it deels like he’s saying “we, the people working on this stuff, need to find real use cases that actually justifies the expense” which is…pretty reasonable
Not defending him or Microsoft at all here but it sounds like normal business shit, not a CEO begging users to like their product

All they have to do is disable games with mtx in the countries that ban it
- Comment on Fed chair Powell says targeted by federal probe 1 month ago:
Powell is a reason the economy isn’t completely fucked. He’s been one of the only people consistently putting the country first and saying no to Trump’s demands.
He’s no saint but he’s not a clown. This is not a cause for celebration
- Comment on Pet Peeves with Games? 1 month ago:
Good question. At the very least, steam will cloud sync it regardless of where it’s at on the drive so that’s an option
- Comment on Pet Peeves with Games? 1 month ago:
That would be even more work IMO
Unless they want to separate their non-game files, too
- Comment on Pet Peeves with Games? 1 month ago:
Hey have you tried Steam Family or whatever it’s called? You can make a new user and they have access to all of your game library. Only one account would be able to play at a time but it would solve your save file dilemma - games files are in the common folder but save files are in the user folder
- Comment on YSK there is an intense Zionist propaganda campaign ongoing 1 month ago:
Did you link these without reading them…?
-
That Pew Research article goes against that narrative in a lot of ways
-
The second link discusses how claiming 80% is misleading with statistics
-
The third is an Israeli publication. I’ll admit I didn’t bother finishing this one because I don’t believe it to be unbiased

- Comment on YSK there is an intense Zionist propaganda campaign ongoing 1 month ago:
I’ve heard this claim but I’ve also heard it ripped apart as being misleading. And I’ve never seen the actual poll it’s based on, do you have that handy?
It predates 2023 and up until that point, “Zionism” meant “Israel is the holy land” to a lot of people
