Right around when Steam is requiring games to inform users when they install rootkits lmao

I hate that the term "review bombing" completely generalized to just "a lot of negatively reviewing something". Review bombing is supposed to be negative reviewing that's not relevant to the game, like when it was originally used to speak out against publishers, because, you know, that's the only thing that seemed to get their attention. Now we just have the tools and excuses to just kill genuine criticism.

tbh GoDaddy looks sussy too if you didn't know better lol

what are the new shapes

These bans are bad. All it takes is for the US to think the fediverse is a threat and this goes too. You clearly don't like the platform and that's okay, but don't root for government censorship on the internet.

Situation: There are 15 competing standards.

Generative AI does not work like this. They're not like humans at all, it will regurgitate whatever input it receives, like how Google can't stop Gemini from telling people to put glue in their pizza. If it really worked like that, there wouldn't be these broad and extensive policies within tech companies about using it with company sensitive data like protection compliances. The day that a health insurance company manager says, "sure, you can feed Chat-GPT medical data" is the day I trust genAI.

I know the differences between these metrics are inconsequential because the happiness view doesn't start at 0, but it still makes me want to shout "what the fuck are gentoo users so happy about" lol

"It's less than worthless!"

I love to hate on musky boi as much as the next guy, but how does this actually compare to vehicular accidents and deaths overall? CGP Grey had the right idea when he said they didn't need to be perfect, just as good as or better than humans.

I'm so tired of that term. At first it was coined after people speaking out against a company instead of a game, but now literally just negative reviews are review bombing now

Until the curator gets shut down, their list is a great reference of games to buy

Wow, people don't even have to finish the Blender render before spreading out "leaks" huh

And my parents still buy SSL certs because that's just what they know 🤢

I feel you. I lost my job in January and I've had literally not even a single callback or interview. It's insane.

I think it's more than just not doing yearly refreshes, it's that they don't want to do releases that are only incremental in nature, which is an extremely common behavior, especially among consoles.

Who here actually thinks "goldfish? That's for kids."

I have a friend like this, I'm a Nintendo collector and enjoying the hardware is my hobby. I know it's an expensive endeavor, and I don't expect anyone else to do it. I genuinely think any game should be up for piracy and emulation support, and it's incredible what can be done to make games look, sound, and play better than the original. But when I'm sitting there having fun with Metroid Fusion on my GBA SP and you sit there going "why would you ever do that when emulating is cheaper and better" I don't think you're conversing in good faith.

I'm honestly blown away by how many developers don't even know the basics of git

I completely understand where this is coming from, but I'm just a little confused about what the solution would be. For the average consumer and certainly the target users for Windows, shipping with a browser is the expected norm, and none are expected to open a terminal, much less run tools like winget. I guess you could have a setup dialog of major browsers to choose from?
