  oh man I’m going have to setup EmuDeck again to play this. Criterion did not deserve what EA has done to them, bring back Burnout you cowards.

  I wonder how it’s handled, is it a newly trained model for UK driving? If it’s just the US model but told to drive on the left it will be disastrous. UK driving standards are so much higher than in the US, plus tighter lanes with often completely worn out road markings. Think I’ll just avoid London for the first 6 months they are active

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is Pixelfed an extra network and not just a Mastodon client?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I guess it’s a case of “why not”. I’m sure someone could make a client that does the same thing but there’s a few features of mastodon that are geared towards text content rather than just images (quote posts). Likewise there’s probably some features that make sense for an image first platform that probably aren’t needed for mastodon (showing camera setting used).

  Hopefully federation between the two does improve to the point that you maybe couldn’t tell at first glance of a profile is on one or the other.

  AI industry needs to encourage job seekers to pick up AI skills (undefined), in the same way people master Excel to make themselves more employable.

  Has anyone in the last 15 years willingly learned excel? It seems like one of those things you have to learn on the job as your boomer managers insist on using it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Grok AI key to Sport England suspending X account⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  While I would accept a ban on X, the easiest way is to just to move away from it. If enough government, celebrity, news/sports accounts stop using it, the less relevant it becomes.

  I can’t take a government seriously when they announce they are looking into banning X, whilst still being on it

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Businesses call to be included in any pub rates backtrack⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What is it with pubs and politicians. I get they are culturally significant but you’d think they are the only place people go outside of home and work in the uk with how they always make exceptions for them.

  I feel like you can’t cut rates for pubs and not for cafes, for example, as there’s hardly anyone kicking off ant an costa and needing the police to show up.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  They’ve done this with a few other games. I remember the EU5 review being really choppy and it turned out they were running it on like 6-7 year old hardware. It might just be a cost cutting measure to not buy the latest stuff for all their reviewers but I basically ignore most of what they say now.

  Do we even have a big issue with underage drinking anymore? I see loads of articles about kids now not drinking as much as older generations, how many are getting drinks in proper venues vs house parties? Looks like the government with a solution in need of a problem to me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Imgur blocks access to UK users after proposed regulatory fine⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I can’t see them actually undoing it. It will just become a thing that is no longer enforced. Once one company stands up to it and refuses to pay the fine, and the uk can’t force them to pay, others will do it. Once enough do it the UK will stop trying (hopefully)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Starmer and Macron to announce ‘one in, one out’ migration deal⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  One in one out will not really keep the reform lot at bay they think of illegal immigrants and asylum seekers the same way. All this does is put immigration back into the news cycle for Nigel to get more air time staring at boats in Dover

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah same. The way I think about federation is in a kind of per “product” approach. That’s a piece of software can be run by anyone and all communicate and work as a whole is the main benefit. Cross compatibility between “products”/software is just an added bonus, but not necessary
