  If you want to blow the whistle on somebody and wonder if the Guardian is trustworthy I suggest you ask Julian Asssange.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Elon Musk wants to rewrite "the entire corpus of human knowledge" with Grok⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Garbage out is what he aims for.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Goldman Sachs wants students to stop using ChatGPT in job interviews with the bank⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  You first.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GOG One-Click Mods | New era of modding begins⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Ok, but which? Can you sue them if Galaxy, a free tool that they provide for convenience and that isn’t required for the actual service, doesn’t work, or if it breaks a game? Name one thing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GOG One-Click Mods | New era of modding begins⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I have lots of free games from GOG. You don’t have to be a paying customer to use galaxy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GOG One-Click Mods | New era of modding begins⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Galaxy is free and not required. If it doesn’t work you can download games from the website.

  Buuut it also reinforces my point. The free open source solution works better than their in-house one.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Asus and Lenovo’s handhelds get price hike as Valve pauses some Steam Deck sales⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I genuinely don’t get the “don’t pre order just buy the day it releases” thing.

  Nobody ever said the second part.

  Don’t pre order, wait for reviews a couple weeks after release, buy if reviews are good and no major bullshit is discovered.

  What do you think you’re winning?

  Avoiding the major bullshit.

  Also, even if you did just buy day one: If developers have a lot of pre orders they know they’ll sell anyway they have less of an incentive to deliver the highest possible quality.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GOG One-Click Mods | New era of modding begins⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  So does Galaxy?

  Let’s say I have not yet had to do a full reinstall of heroic and multiple associated games because something got unfixably borked during an update.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'Her screams…': Horror as innocent Chilean tourist in New York snatched by NYPD, 12-year-old daughter left alone on streets⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Nah. Half of Europe is just 5-10 years behind the USA, as usual on pretty much any dystopian development.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GOG One-Click Mods | New era of modding begins⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Even fewer people game on Mac than on Linux (judging by the Steam survey). I bet it’s not that they can’t they just don’t care.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GOG One-Click Mods | New era of modding begins⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Heroic works better than Galaxy does in Windows. They should just pay the Heroic devs for their work and make that their official launcher.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Game of Thrones: War for Westeros | Cinematic Reveal Trailer⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Doesn’t look like wood to me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Game of Thrones: War for Westeros | Cinematic Reveal Trailer⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Why would the sword shatter but not the shield?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's going on with Borderlands 2? Steam is giving it for free, but the game has 23% positive recent reviews.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Some people will always find an excuse to change nothing.

  It doesn’t matter how many similar EULA’s people have already accepted. The best moment to not eat it anymore would have been the first time it happened, the second best time is right now.

  Also, retroactively amending an EULA is a different quality, since people have already paid for the game and would be looked out after the fact if they didn’t accept.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wikimedia Foundation's plans to introduce AI-generated summaries to Wikipedia⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ll make a note to get back to you about this in a few years when they start blocking people from correcting AI authored articles.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨public services of an entire german state switches from Microsoft to open source (Libreoffice, Linux, Nextcloud, Thunderbird)⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yup. And MS had to bribe the city of Munich with moving their German HQ there to make them switch back.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Now Promotes Microtransactions When You Swap Weapons⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Must be an oversight, maybe write them a kindly worded e-mail to let them know.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My highest achievement in Expedition 33 (yet)⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, I always explore everything I can reach first, although if I encounter a boss that I can’t even scratch I won’t stick around for a 37 minute fight ;) so I have some things to return to.

  I’m level 40 now and the story bosses are just not scary anymore. But so far I still enjoy being a bit overpowered at times so it’s fine.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Plex now will SELL your personal data⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  And just like that we’re at silly made up hypothetical situations to drive fear and an agenda. That’s not even worth entertaining.

  It’s all hypothetical until it isn’t anymore. You’re literally the slowly boiled frog.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Former Meta exec says asking for artist permission will kill AI industry⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  As long as people get punished for pirating media, corporations need to license their shit just as well.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Former Meta exec says asking for artist permission will kill AI industry⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Good.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Let's play this game again⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Ok. You’re often tired, but coffee gives you super strength, Popeye style.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dave2D - Windows Was The Problem All Along (Lenovo Legion Go Windows 11 vs. SteamOS)⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What else would it be coming from on the exact same hardware?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨DOOM: The Dark Ages Has Reportedly Sold Less Than 1 Million Copies⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Wow. I already wasn’t going to buy any more Bethesda slop, but now I’m not going to buy it twice.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can Tesla's Self-Driving Software Handle Bus-Only Lanes? Not Reliably, No.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Sooooo … You people don’t have signs? Because my car can read those.

  I imagine something like this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why Balcony Solar Panels Haven’t Taken Off in the US⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s not electrons “reaching” a point that does the work, it’s the fact that they move in a circuit. A generator or a battery just applies the force that makes them move (voltage).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Let's put an end to the discussion; what is the best way?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think anything that uses any kind of item that doesn’t come packed with the bread belongs on the “lawful” side.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Baldur's Gate 3 cast got a new set of pre-painted minis and—oh, oh no, oh no no no⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Those are ok-ish for your own stuff if you don’t care too much. If you want to sell a product you have to do better.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple is placing warnings on EU apps that don’t use App Store payments⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I hope this goes on like “made in Germany” (originally devised as a way to keep people from buying German products, quickly became a label of quality).
