  Now if only Google would open up RCS to non Google messages apps. It’s just another walled garden.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Paying the Subnautica 2 team their promised bonus would be "embarrassing", Krafton's CEO allegedly told the game's chief over lunch⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Frankly, the buyers truing to get them to take a smaller buyout before firing makes it clear they’re doing what they can to avoid paying it. At the same time, the way the incentive was setup both parties were of course going to try to win here. No one who has 250m is going to part with it without a fight. And vice-versa.

  Hindsight is 2020, but the reward structure should have never been setup based an arbitrary deadline but instead on a total level of success

  My point wasn’t that the switch was or wasn’t flipped, but that, do we know there isn’t a bug or electrical failure that caused the computer to think it was flipped when it wasn’t.

  Idk it seems very unlikely given how carefully designed aircrafts are, but so many things are less “control by wire” though airlanes due seem to retain that safety still, but Boeing’s recent decade with the new max planes def leaves me with some doubts of their quality and design decisions.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pilot groups reject claims of human error in Air India crash⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, we’re told it can’t happen by accident. I agree that it probably can’t, but I also don’t know how all the wiring and programming is made.

  I love graphene.

  Fuck that. I love my 6ghz WiFi.

  I stream from my PC with moonlight / sunshine and it really is a game changer for AAA games. I.E. oblivion remastered ATM ;)

  Valetudo is the only high end vacuum I’ll ever want.

  And there it is. Fuck xfinity/comcast

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨So you CAN turn an entire car into a video game controller⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Or just a VR headset

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New Fairphone turns into a dumbphone at the flick of a switch⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Agreed. Maybe you can pick the default messaging app.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stung by customer losses, Comcast says all its new plans have unlimited data⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean, they’re still doing the exact same shit, just a little more transparent about it: Treat your customers differently based on if they’re new or not. Basically these plans just make it more obvious to customers. If you don’t cancel your plan yearly and resubscribe as a new subscriber, you have to pay an extra $180 a year. Simple as that. And you still have to do that every 5 years.

  Honestly it’s insane. Esp the I still have to cancel after 5 years to keep not getting fucked.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Broken Arrow devs confirm their anti-cheat will not block Linux, SteamOS⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  No no, I know that it’s not kernel level, I just fail to see how, someone with complete control of the memory, can’t defeat all anticheat. To be fair, if it isn’t a client authoritative game, it could.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stalker 2's broken A-life system is finally working as designed, according to GSC Game World⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I held off on buying this. Does it feel good / worth buying now?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Broken Arrow devs confirm their anti-cheat will not block Linux, SteamOS⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  So… You can cheat then.

  Valve really needs to offer some sort of hardware attestation so the steamdeck can actually offer anticheat. As long as people can compile their own kernels any game has already lost from the start

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨US | House Bans WhatsApp on Congressional Staff Devices Over Security Concerns⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  How is it not actually an allow list vs a deny list. They should be clearing apps that can be installed and not the other way around.

  Yep. I can’t wait to get mine and be in complete control of my data. No cloud bullshit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How Marc Andreessen’s Signal group chats helped spawn the tech right⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah idk why people are caught up on this. Encryption is good and absolutely fundamentally important to society. And yes, shitty people can use it too, it doesn’t make it bad.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨V Rising's first big post 1.0 update brings a bevy of additions, combat reworks, and Steam Deck support later this month⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  After reading the reviews, I can’t believe the devs don’t make saves forwards compatible or have a migration process.

  Would pick this up but that part is just insane. Unable to migrate your castle to another version of the game with new features…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Downtime - Apologies and what went wrong⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Don’t worry. Newborn is a trump card, but even without it you literally are a volunteer.

  Anyone complaining about you volunteering your time esp with a newborn, is not a parent…but ignoring that you’re doing this for free. Thanks for your time, effort, and just happy it’s back up :).

  Social media that can go down for a day or two is way better than a shit hole of advertising and manipulation that is Facebook, reddit, and all the rest.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google makes Android development private, will continue open source releases⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Google continues to do everything they can to close android down and force everyone to use their os. Imo this is a direct attack on graphene OS and anyone based on aosp. Now for every release developers will have to manually merge basically an unusable mess of changes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Activists vandalize Trump golf resort over his comments on emptying out Gaza⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This isn’t a liberal take.

  But I def agree with your second paragraph.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Undocumented 'Backdoor' Found In Chinese Bluetooth Chip Used By a Billion Devices.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I really haven’t seen any details. Most comments I’ve read indicate they think you already have to have access to the device and that this is just undocumented opcode calls. I.e. not a remote Bluetooth stack issue or remotely exploitable.

  Given an opcode, as noted in the article (vague on details) and yes, I did read it. This doesn’t give me much cause for alarm.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨China exploits Taiwanese commentators to fuel its propaganda, undermine the island country's stability⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Gloves are off and you won’t / can’t talk about what you believe about china in a meaningful way. All the rest is deflection and blame on me. I in fact was and have been open to entertaining more than one viewpoint, you have merely twisted what I’ve said to make it seem like I’m the one who won’t actually have a conversation here.

  That’s why I asked questions which you refuse to answer.

  The conversation here speaks for itself. If you want to blame me for refusing to engage, by all means, do so.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨China exploits Taiwanese commentators to fuel its propaganda, undermine the island country's stability⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Lol when actually asked about the stuff china is doing though you have repeatedly just hand waved it as I won’t go into that. You say stuff to establish yourself as an expert and yet have done nothing but just called me a brain rot liberal. You in fact have 0 concept of my background or upbringing and have just assumed because I have sat on my mobile phone and haven’t taken the time to go point by point explaining what I meant that I am some inferior person with no intellect of ability to think critically about my world view or escape the brainwashing I have been subjected to.

  Please, enlighten me on all the truly had stuff china did, talk about it. Up to this point all you have actually done is speak positively about Tienammen square and hand waved “bad stuff” for china without saying it. Do it. Im worth all this other “time” you spent, but I’m not worth taking the time on actually saying anything bad about china? Still sounds like you aren’t who you say you are.
