Yup. Super clear from the video that she was turning the vehicle away from the agents. Also, the guy had more than enough time to step out of the way, making use of deadly force literally illegal.

With how incompetent they behaved, I was extremely surprised when I learned the victim was white.

Because people use PayPal and the government entity is trying to be helpful.

If I remember right, exactly this was why for a very long time people would laugh at early LCD screens, saying everything looked bad.

It was only after game devs started making games on LCD screens that this slowly changed.

THANKS OBAMA

Corrected title:

The "Trump phone" just "missed" another "release date"

We all know it's just a grift, right?

Do you mean 200?

Yeah, I'm sure they'll hire a division dedicated to Linux development, with all the costs that brings, just because of that.

That doesn’t change the fact the game is missing half of the promised content,

That's just a flat out lie or a delusion.

The most famous example is how "the game was supposed to be like GTA" some people cry over. Source for that? A interview they did where they stated "we want to be more like Rockstar". The interview was about development cycles, had nothing to do with the game itself, but one YouTuber saw it and made a video about how "Cyberpunk is going to be GTA in the future, expect bowling", shit like that.

It was never supposed to be anything than it isn't.

including some that was on the trailers.

I heard that argument bunch of times, someone even showed me a trailer that supposedly showed these "missing features". The stuff missing? Wall-running and ripping off turrets. That's it. That's literally it. They gave a really good explanation as to why wall running is missing, it's also a flavour feature, not like adding it back in would change the gameplay significantly, so people crying over that is just... weird to me.

The fact is that Cyberpunk was a victim of some of the most ridiculously over-the-top hype in gaming history. And when the game released in the state it did (which - to anyone who's ever followed anything released by CDPR - was the most benign and obvious thing in the world), people lost their minds, because they were expecting The Gaming Messiah to show up and End All Gaming Suffering. Just stupid from the top down.

God forbid teenage girls have someone they can look up to in Fantasy in SciFi! Oh, the horror!

Huh! Who would've thunk that more grass-roots approach, giving the young people attention and providing possibilities and options would lower crime rates?

Vic was really stressed.

The fact that so many people don't understand this is nuts to me. There's the military gear support for Ukraine case, the Greenland case, the tariffs case, the AI tech case, all the IT services case - all of that crap that Trump, sufficiently annoyed, can just take away from the EU. It's clear that Congress is no longer functional and US slid into dictatorship, so there's nobody who could stop him. Which means that, when we see him illegally invading a sovereign country, we say "it's complicated".

They don't know what the words they use mean.

I was called a Nazi for agreeing with one decision made by Trump. Which, I made sure to mention, he made out of spite, and it was only a happy accident that it ended up being a net positive.

Then I was called a proponent of genocide and a rapist for saying that the people of Israel AND Palestine have the right to a self-governed nation, and that the criminals and terrorists on both sides need to be punished.

So, yeah, talking to them is weird.

We need to keep educating people about it, and I found a really good method - explain it to them using the Chinese Room thought experiment.

In short: imagine you're in a room with a manual and infinite writing utensils, but nothing else. Every now and again a piece of paper with some Chinese characters is slipped through a slit in the wall. Your task is to get that paper, and - using the provided manual - paint other Chinese characters on another piece of paper. Basically, "if you see X character, then paint Y character". Once you're done, you slip your paper through the slit to the other side. This goes on back and forth.

To the person on the other side of the wall, it seems like they're having conversation with someone fluent in Chinese, whereas you're just painting shapes based on provided instructions.

I found that this kind of opens people's minds to what LLMs actually do - which is writing words that have the highest probability of following previous words and the context of the prompt...

Had the same feeling about Kubuntu. Absolute shit-show.

Went through Tuxedo OS (technically also Ubuntu based) and was very happy until Heroic and Steam blew themselves up when I installed a dGPU, then switched to Garuda (Arch based) and so far, so good.

Most of his books are written like he's pretty desperate for someone to make a video game adaptation. The metal ("fuel") and "classes" in Mistborn, the way weapons work in the Cytoverse, etc., etc., it all seems specifically designed for a game adaptation.

Hopefully Mistborn goes to a studio that knows what they're doing and the gameplay is actually fun!

No, I wasn't familiar with that term.

That being said, if you look past the "gamified" world rules, his writing is really good. I enjoy the worlds he crafts, they're pretty unique in design, the magic systems are interesting and fresh. And his narration style is also up my alley.

Where I'm from, if that was happening regularly, the store's managers would be arrested for fraud. The price on the shelf is THE price of the product. Sure, many people will just blindly accept what's on the register, but you can complain and if you go to court with the store, you win by default (assuming you have proof, of course) within, like, 48 hours.

I don't remember the appearance of either Vin or Spensa being in any way an important or even relevant piece of the stories.

The entirety of the focus was on what the girls were doing, not how they looked.

I have to agree! Linux being Linux is that there's always something weird happening. System update suddenly makes your Application Launcher transparent? Welp, that's just Linux!

At the same time - things are MUCH better now, than they were 5-10 years ago, especially if you're a bit lucky with your chosen distro. I'm really rather happy with my Garuda.

Damn, this looks really good! I think I was looking into this game a while ago, so thanks for the review!
