Calling everything AI-generated is lazy

Completely missing the reason people balk at a whiff of LLM writing. It automatically is less trusted if it is noticeably LLM written

Instead of pointing to a wrong number, a missing test, a wrong claim, or saying thank you, somebody just writes “sounds AI-generated”.

And it is rude to expect people to proofread your slop.

If I Could Make My Own GitHub

These threads are always fun. Fast way to see how competent posters really are.

People that think you can solve every problem with more automated process and get pissy about having their code reviewed or having to review are people I would not want to work with and think they're way better at their jobs than they are.

People that understand that soft skills and human collaboration matter and make more solid software that is more maintainable and therefore more pleasant to work on "get it".

Am I just bad at games???

Thought so. Your startup time and crashes are almost certainly attributable to running it via gamenative rather than the game itself. By not including that detail in your post you're being pretty unfair to the developers of the game IMO

Epic Games unveils Launcher V2 in re-attempt to topple Steam, says redesigned storefront is up to 6.5x faster — promises player profiles, user reviews, universal controller support, and much more

I'm sure it's about that for some people, but yeah if they ever actually get significant market share they will enshittify so fast it'll make your head spin. The only thing that has changed is they've decided they need to make a bare minimum experience instead of just throwing money around.

howlongtobeat.com is usually where people are looking for these numbers. It has numbers for "main", "main + extra", and "completionist". I usually play games on at least harder than normal setting and I pretty reliably hit +-10% of the "main + extra" number with some rare exceptions, so I don't think your description is accurate at all.

I imagine some people are slower or faster at certain types of games but can still use the number as base to adjust from. For instance a slow reader might add a percentage to a text heavy RPG

Firefox Android's FIFA ads

Hmm I've never once seen an ad but I have all the home page stuff turned off.

I tried toggling them and none of them showed anything like you screenshot.

I'd also think turning off any setting with the word "sponsor" might work

Edit: realized the screenshot is supposed to be a notification... I also haven't ever seen a notification outside of functional ones, and I don't see any setting about it anywhere...
