If you liked red-alert you might like other RTS games such as Age Of Empires 2 (remaster came out in 2019, very active community) or starcraft2.

- Comment on Readers prefer ChatGPT over Wikipedia 7 months ago:
It is, but thats the compromise - less reliability for more comfort. Its not “stupid”, its just a compromise.

ChatGPT is more concise, something wikipedia doesnt excel at by design.
- Comment on Google’s claim that search users have choice is “bogus,” Microsoft CEO tells judge 7 months ago:
While i agree with them, i do think Microsoft is attempting even worse steps in turning bing/edge into the next google: literally can open windows help links on any other browser, the task bar’s search functions are bing only, popups about using edge instead of chrome, defaulting 100 file types into edge.
Those big companiew are shit. They all attempt the same stuff while blaming others for succeeding in doing so.

- Comment on Spotify is going to clone podcasters’ voices — and translate them to other languages 7 months ago:
And I am certain the terms will be clear and concise, definitely less than 50 pages and no vague and contradicting statements all over.
- Comment on Spotify is going to clone podcasters’ voices — and translate them to other languages 7 months ago:
I have a strong feeling the terms of usage for this opt-in will include something along the lines of “we can use your voice for our future projects” and then in a few years they will just create podcasts using podcasters’ voices without their true consent and make a ton off their backs while increasing their competition.

- Comment on Wait, is Unity allowed to just change its fee structure like that? | Confusing, contradictory terms of service clauses leave potential opening for lawsuits. 7 months ago:
But the underlying problem here is even bigger than unity’s shitty practices - it mrans you can change your ToS at any point, at any time, eithout notice, withoit the need of consent, and thr user has nothing to do with it.
Basically, the user agrees to a certain contract, that the other party can just silently change at any time, and if this is applicable in court, we are screwed.
What if visual studio suddenly added a line in their ToS “we have full rights to any code you ever right in VS” and they suddenly own your 10 years old project? What if android just silently added “we can take pictures of you from your front camera and sell them to porn sites”.
How the hell is it possible you can changes the ToS eithout any notice or consent?
- Comment on Meta deletes Al Jazeera presenter’s profile after show criticising Israel 8 months ago:
This is true, and the reason people need to stop using social media as their source for news.
When a company has sophisticated algorithms ment to only show you things that will get you engaged - you are not getting unbiased news. Add Meta’s personal agendas on top of that and you get the shitshow that is facebook as a news source.

Back then internet users werent normies, but nreds and tech savy people. Also, chrome learned from IE’s mistakes. It wont stop functioning and will keep updating, so the average normy user wont mind.

If web drm becomes a thing, nothing, not even firefox and vivaldi will be able to block ads on websites that implement web drm.
