  I remember at one point the front-end guys I knew were laughing that it didn’t even support iframes. But I imagine it eventually got decent enough.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple sued by shareholders for allegedly overstating AI progress⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Meanwhile in my company the leadership just thinks that we have a messaging problem after the new AI stuff we implemented made absolutely no difference in the sales numbers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨make fantasy great again!⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I remember a game I played ~9 years ago where you could send ships to explore the world and when they got back you had the option to reject their findings. If you never rejected anything, the world would be exactly like Earth, but everytime you rejected it would randomize the section that had been explored and over time it would start generating a whole new world.

  And you could even make the planet flat by rejecting the discovery of it being round.

  Windows Vista is Microsoft’s greatest success, because it’s main purpose was to make people forget the promises made for Longhorn.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨10 incredible PC games that never got console ports—until Steam Deck happened⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I got the game from some magazine, in a time I didn’t have many choices for games. I didn’t speak much English yet at the time so I had trouble getting past some stuff and didn’t get very far. I even named my first dog after the robot dog in the game.

  I picked it up on steam a few years ago and tried it again. I think I got much farther than I had back in the day, but still didn’t finish it. I think I might try it again on deck now.

  Sir, there’s something wrong here. I spent 20 years believing I was the only person who ever played Septerra Core, and it’s too long to change my mind now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you keep track of what games you have played over the years?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You probably have different gaming habits than me, or a hell of a memory. I’ve likely played over 4 thousand different games over the course of my life so far.

  … Now I want to use one of those tools to try to figure out this number.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My AI Skeptic Friends Are All Nuts⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  AI is not the new NFT but also not the new Internet. It’s the new touchscreen. Amazing in some contexts, but forced down on every other.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘We tried and it didn’t work out’: CDPR co-founder says it shouldn’t stray from AAA open-world RPGs⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh yeah I played Elden Ring too. Avowed I tried but didn’t like; the other two really aren’t my type of game.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘We tried and it didn’t work out’: CDPR co-founder says it shouldn’t stray from AAA open-world RPGs⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Any such experiences in the last few years? I think the last AAA games I’ve played where RDR2 and Spider Man.

  While I knew since last year the the story was fake (and I had random people mention it to me on online games when they learned I was Brazilian), I’m also skeptical that this story alone was all it needed to kill that guy’s company.

  Shit, I read that name somewhere when setting things up in my new phone yesterday and made a mental note to check what it is, but then forgot which app mentioned it. Now I’ll need to hunt it down again.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why Do Co-Op Stores Only Work in Small Towns?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Not necessarily selling below cost. They can save money in all sorts of ways:

  • charging brands to put their products in the best shelves
  • fridges and shelves with ads and product names (often provided for free by the brands)
  • bigger sales volume reduce cost of storage, reduce amount of expired products and as you said, also guarantee a better price when acquiring the goods.
  • they have much more data on what sells at what price
  • they know very well what kind of products people will check the price for and which ones they’ll just buy in whatever store they are already at (so they put a lower price on product X to get people in the store and then a higher price on product Y to cover for it)
  • they own multiple store brands, with different price ranges, so they can make one store generate profit for both of them similarly to the previous point.
  • they do all sorts of sketchy stuff to get tax breaks, insurance claims and other stuff that may have give them some money back
  • they may sometimes move products between stores to sell everything that might be expiring soon
  • they have their own product brands that they can save money on
  • in some places they may re-package stuff to artificially extend their shelf life.
  • probably a lot more stuff I never even considered.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Delivery Driver Scammed DoorDash Of More Than $2.5 Million⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There is no customer involved.

  1. They place an order and pay for it
  2. They force the order to be assigned to one of the drivers
  3. Driver claims the order is delivered
  4. Doordash pays the driver
  5. They overwrite the data so that it goes back to step by 2.
  6. They “deliver” and get paid for the same order hundreds of times.

  Books were probably red, but it takes a while to identify something like this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Some Reddit users just love to disagree, new AI-powered troll-spotting algorithm finds⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  If you actually think about things and form your own opinions you’ll usually be treated as “the other side” by everyone who signs and follows any pre-made set of opinions.

  If you hate AI but thinks there is some specific situation in which it doesn’t 100% suck, you’ll be treated as a troll in anti-AI communities. If you’re MAGA but disagrees with anything Trump says, you’ll be called a leftist in conservative circles. If you’re a fierce active defender of LGBTQ+ rights but thinks it’s OK for a white American to dress up as a Mexican character for Halloween, you’ll be ostracized in many left wing groups.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Some Reddit users just love to disagree, new AI-powered troll-spotting algorithm finds⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Disagreeing is often treated as trolling by those you disagree with, depending on the subject. Mostly because those disagreements are often bad faith talking points from some groups of people.
