- Comment on [Tom Warren] The PS5 Pro still hasn’t sold out in the US or UK. Looks like the $700 price point will mean this console will be readily available this holiday 1 month ago:
Because PCs are worse for living room/controller gameplay, you have to deal with Windows or Linux, and many other factors?
- Comment on The Mozilla Graveyard 1 month ago:
The Mozilla FUD where I said I like Firefox and pointed out how many of the projects continued in some form after Mozilla ended them?

- Comment on The Verge Under Fire For Publishing Info About ‘Deadlock,’ Valve’s Secret Shooter 3 months ago:
If every news outlet avoided a topic because the company wouldn’t outright confirm its existence, we would never have reporting based on leaks and rumors. That’s dumb and would make journalism worse for everyone.
- Comment on The Verge Under Fire For Publishing Info About ‘Deadlock,’ Valve’s Secret Shooter 3 months ago:
If Valve wants to be shitty about it, that’s within their right (unless they want to sue, which would be difficult to defend in court without a written legal agreement). It is also true that other outlets are free to do handshake agreements to not cover the game. The Verge didn’t break any rules, and Valve already maintains a minimal relationship with most news outlets, so not talking to The Verge probably wouldn’t change anything.
- Comment on The Verge Under Fire For Publishing Info About ‘Deadlock,’ Valve’s Secret Shooter 3 months ago:
The rest of the industry uses embargo agreements with mutual consent if they have private information. This doesn’t change anything for other game companies, unless they also want to do private-but-not-private beta tests.

They did ask Valve:
Though Valve didn’t respond to my requests for comment

Valve barely talks to press anyways, in a very similar fashion as Apple. At worst, maybe The Verge won’t get a Steam Deck 2 review unit ahead of time or something.
- Comment on The Verge Under Fire For Publishing Info About ‘Deadlock,’ Valve’s Secret Shooter 3 months ago:
Yep, tech and game companies use invite-only systems to generate hype constantly. Bluesky is another recent example.
- Comment on The Verge Under Fire For Publishing Info About ‘Deadlock,’ Valve’s Secret Shooter 3 months ago:
That’s not how this works. The Verge didn’t break an NDA or embargo because they didn’t get either of those things. Valve allows random people to invite other random people to play, with just a “pretty please don’t talk about this game” warning. There was already people talking about it online and leaked footage.

- Comment on What is Firefox supposed to do? 3 months ago:
Okay, not the point.
- Comment on What is Firefox supposed to do? 3 months ago:
Some of the “drawbacks” are the only way Firefox works as well as it does. If Mozilla didn’t have usage telemetry data, automated crash reports, etc, Firefox would be a much worse application. This is how modern software development works when you have millions of users across a dozen or more platforms.
- Comment on What is Firefox supposed to do? 3 months ago:
LibreWolf only exists because Mozilla does all the actual development and runs all the infrastructure. That’s like saying the US Virgin Islands should take over the rest of the United States.
- Comment on What is Firefox supposed to do? 3 months ago:
If websites want my business they’ll support my browser.
Sure, but that goes both ways, which is the part where you start losing a lot of privacy evangelists and Firefox fans. You are entitled to full control over your device and browsing experience, and sites retain the right to block browsers interfering with ads, trackers, or whatever else the sites use to pay the bills. A lot of people want it both ways and that cannot work at scale.

- Comment on I used an original iPod in 2024, and it was pretty fun 6 months ago:
I didn’t buy those adapters, I just used a computer that had a FireWire 400 port. I haven’t found any evidence of those direct USB cables working with old iPods.

I’m not quite that young.

Revenue is not the same thing as profit. Storing nearly two decades of videos with global CDNs costs a lot of money.

- Comment on Steam is a ticking time bomb 7 months ago:
Yep, never tried to hide that.
- Comment on Steam is a ticking time bomb 7 months ago:
The benefit is improved performance and a better user experience. The Chromium-based components of Steam (like the store) are slow in part because of that.
- Comment on Steam is a ticking time bomb 7 months ago:
Also, every game launcher on Windows still puts games in the start menu.
- Comment on Steam is a ticking time bomb 7 months ago:
Steam only being 32-bit isn’t improving compatibility, it’s being lazy. You can write code that works on both architectures for the best performance and compatibility across all PCs, like Chrome, Firefox, MS Office, etc.
