  70 is aggressive? In California ppl will be passing you on both sides at that speed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨SAG-AFTRA Approves AI Voice Actors, Enrages the VA Community⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The SAG protests were pretty transparently about protecting old money. Actors with hundreds to thousands of hours of footage already out there that can be easily turned into AI models.

  NYT are such lawsuit trolls I could imagine this is credible.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘Front page of the internet’: how social media’s biggest user protest rocked Reddit⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I used to spend hours a day on Reddit, if you add up all the little time waster breaks I take just scrolling on Baconreader.

  Now i rarely visit the site.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cox deletes ‘Active Listening’ ad pitch after boasting that it eavesdrops though our phones⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Many companies already do this, but advertising it is unpalatable. Just be like Google and Facebook. For awhile the Facebook app was so bad about it that it caused significant battery drain and the only way to avoid it was to remove the app.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reddit Falls Short of Ad Growth Targets Ahead of Likely 2024 IPO⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Reddit who?

  If I can’t browse my way, I simply don’t use the site.

  If reddit pops up in a search result on my browser, wellll best believe I have multiple adblockers making sure their ads don’t load.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Court rules Gabe Newell must appear in person to testify in Steam anti-trust lawsuit⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  As a consumer, the worst days of Steam were in its early years. It took hours to download the HL2 day 1 patch. But those days are long behind us.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'Fortnite' maker Epic Games is battling Google in court over app-store fees 2 years after largely losing a similar case against Apple⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Have they exhausted the appeals on the original case? Cus now they’re up against precedent which they themselves established.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Discord will switch to temporary file links to block malware delivery⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s better flat out. Centralization isn’t evil in an of itself. The dogma pushed in this comment section is hilarious.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Discord will switch to temporary file links to block malware delivery⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Nah Discord is like IRC on super-steroids.

  You’re gimping yourself by holding this view.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨FCC to propose a minimum 100mbps to qualify as broadband, with a future goal of 1gbps⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I remember the collective shitfit around a decade ago when Obama give out free cell phones to homeless people. It was such a crazy concept to people who have never struggled that yes, you DO need a smartphone to meet your calling, banking and personal management needs. Everything has an online portal. Every job application requires an online portion. It’s how the world works and has worked since the mid 00s.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Total War Warhammer 3 devs will remove Steam users starting boycotts⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Tone deaf company. My friend wants me to get into this series so badly, but this article details what a disgusting relationship CA has with its customers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The employees secretly using AI at work⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m using it all the time for all kinds of shit. So is everyone else (that’s why the businesses behind them are able to make money).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anyone have good memories of (or still belong to) a gaming clan?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I was in a counter-strike clan for a long time. We were all varying levels of dork. Clan members doubled as mods for our server, and we ran a server with classic rules and kept it tight. Almost always had a full server (12 people) between ourselves and the randos that joined our community. Spent soooo many hours bullshitting about our stupid teenage lives while headshotting each other.

  Everyone is still on steam friends but don’t talk like we used to. None of us play counter-strike anymore after it moved to CS:GO, so we lost that common thread. I’m mainly focused on my WoW guild and community there now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lords of the Fallen’s Steam reviews improve as performance patch lands, devs advise players not to use graphics settings “their rigs cannot handle”⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  AFAIK it’s poopy pants lazy behavior on the dev part. I can play it on my PC but I just wanted to sit in my living room.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lords of the Fallen’s Steam reviews improve as performance patch lands, devs advise players not to use graphics settings “their rigs cannot handle”⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Idk, I’d really like to play this on my PS5 however the PS5 version of the game only runs at 1080p upscaled.

  Here’s an idea: my user activity generates marketable data for Google, so get rid of the ads or start paying me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What games have you been playing recently⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Bloodborne has sucked me back in. Super satisfying gameplay.

  I also replayed Re7 and Re8, just fantastic together.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What if the Gaza Strip declared independence?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Palestine, like Taiwan, has a non-voting representative in the UN. It’s effectively its own country save for the key players of the Security Council recognizing them.

  I’ve tweeted like one time. Good luck with that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft expected to finally buy Activision Blizzard next week⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  This would be dope for all the WoWheads being adopted by MS (I’m one). If I’m bored with everything I just revert to WoW. If my subscription included Gamepass, I may be more inclined to check out titles I wouldn’t otherwise play.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wholesome shitpost⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Hard disagree. Fear, shame and bullying are societies tools against cringe.
