  The most annoying thing is there is a trivial to implement way to close to halve these stupidly inflated sizes: make the highest resolution of textures a free DLC that you optionally install

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GOG NSFW Giveaway⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Presumably the devs have to agree to it. I dont think gog cn just decide "were going to give away this game we dont own for free"

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ChatGPT users shocked to learn their chats were in Google search results⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Yep, and when you click a button that liteally says "make this discoverable on search engines" which is off by defualt, its the later.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨4.2% pay rise for police officers across England and Wales⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Eh, public services have been getting pay increases across the board to make up for the ridiculous tory freezes on wages for a decade. for example, just two monts ago there was a 4% increase for teachers and doctors in england, is that also Keir bribing teachers to get them on side?

  It would be nice to see a price/GWh of this (along with running costs, it ways they save 1 Million per GWh, how much wre the running costs before!?), but any improvement in battery tech is definitely a good thing.
