Trump warns Taiwan against declaring independence from China after meeting Xi
It's really interesting how Republicans I spoke to at the time of the election talked about how we needed to "beat China." It seems like now we're kowtowing to China.

Firefox Finally Did It (Tab Groups)
I'm glad they've added it to desktop, but based on my usage it's more important for me on mobile. Hopefully they bring it to Android soon.

That last one seems out of left field. That can't be relevant to anything going on today can it?

Google just gave Sundar Pichai a $692M pay package
I like the idea of this website, but I think it's missing the mark.
Let's look at music streaming. First, it doesn't list Spotify as one of the incumbents. Interesting choice considering they are the most popular service by far. But that's neither here nor there.
We go to the alternatives listed. Tidal is a subsidiary of Block. Subscribing to Tidal is giving money to owner and CEO Jack Dorsey. With an estimated net worth of $5.9 billion, he is worth more than double Tim Cook. Seems like we're better off just sticking with Apple Music.
Deezer is owned primarily by Access Industries, who has a 98% stake in Warner Music Group, and Orange Group, a €100 billion telecom.
Spotify is listed as an alternative. Sundar Pichai of Google has an estimated worth of $1.6 billion. Daniel Ek of Spotify is worth over $8 billion.
I'm not sure that these alternatives are accomplishing the mission in the body of your post.

What game sequel ruined a beloved franchise or character for you?
Torchlight 3 and Infinite. I was a fan of Torchlight before there was Torchlight. I played Fate to death in college. I played Mythos during the beta. I probably put more hours into Torchlight and Torchlight 2 than I did into Diablo and Diablo 2 (and I put a lot of time into Diablo).
I actually had hope for Torchlight Frontiers. I thought it seemed like it could be what Mythos was trying to be - finally an online Torchlight game.
But then they forgot about all of that and essentially released "Torchlight 2 Mobile" but on PC.

What have been the games whose writing really got into you?
I'll say the obligatory Red Dead Redemption. What a ride. From beginning to end. It legitimately feels like an "epic" where the character and world develop.
As you get to the end of the game and you're in the more populated areas that feel like they have left the wild West behind and the parallel with the story... it's great.

For the better, right?
Okay... This is good.

Updated Inclusive Language Guide Calls Out "Sanity Check", "Hung", "Native Support"
I guess I never thought about "hung" but that makes sense. I default to "frozen" anyway. Sanity check and pow-wow for sure would be better to replace.
Isn't "dummy" originally talking about, well, a dummy? Like a crash test dummy? And then the negative connotation is applying that to a person? It seems like dummy is used properly in the context here?
"Native" seems a bit far reaching. Native doesn't have an intrinsic negative connotation, but I guess it is used to be negative or exclusionary.
