- Comment on Are PC handhelds like Steam Deck really competitors for Switch 2? 2 days ago:
How is that different from any other computer buying from steam
To begin with, Nintendo Switch isn’t “any other computer” where you can “buy from Steam”, so this question seems irrelevant to this discussion.

A president doesn’t need to be awesome, he or she needs to be competent.

From the article:
The Israeli military uses Microsoft Azure to compile information gathered through mass surveillance, which it transcribes and translates, including phone calls, texts and audio messages, according to an Israeli intelligence officer who works with the systems.
From my understanding, they use AI to automate the processing of text, audio, and video data collected by the intelligence services.

It’s a vicious cycle. The media don’t use Satya Nadella’s name or picture much, so people don’t know who he is or how he looks like.

Now adjust our salaries to inflation please because they’re lagging behind.
- Comment on Switch 2 mouse mode (such potential) 6 days ago:
Yeah… I was thinking about getting my first Nintendo console, but these prices are ridiculous even if it’s “only” $80 for a digital game.
- Comment on GOG seems to be considering paid membership option 1 week ago:
That’s great, but maybe we should stop talking about you. People pay for Steam, Netflix and many other services because they don’t want to write scripts. They want something convenient and easy to use. They also want additional functionality. You said how you back up save files, but nothing about achievements, time tracking, friends, screenshots sharing, etc.

Oh no. That was my favorite clothes simulator.
- Comment on Nintendo Announce Virtual Game Cards (Digital Game Sharing) 1 week ago:
I think that is a good thing. There are many reasons to dislike Nintendo, but they had no pressure to do this due to the lack of competition on their platform from other stores and manufacturers. 14 days is more than enough to finish most games or at least give them a try before buying.
- Comment on Internet forums are disappearing because now everything is Reddit and Discord. And that's worrying. 2 weeks ago:
What are we going to do about it?
Nothing. People move to reddit and discord for a reason. If forums were worth saving, this problem wouldn’t have existed.
