I’d cheer on if Elon Musk becomes a pauper. $9 billion is still worth a lot. It’s still, as the article says, billions.

Still worth billions though.

So, the parents who bring children to hazbin conventions know what they’re doing.

Remember when our parents told us social media is bad? Here it is, they are exactly why.

And the once PlayStation exclusive games have also been made available to Steam, thereby making them also accessible to Steam Deck. So the latter is infinitely a better choice!

He’s still the pope, of course he’d say this. However, the majority of Indonesians are Muslims. As if the opinion of a Catholic leader would matter much.

Yes, we should prepare for the coming of AI. However, we overestimated the rate of AI development. Iirc 80% of investors lost money from investing in AI companies because the technology is not up to scratch yet. I mean, how many people asked something from ChatGPT and gave you wrong answers frequently?

I didn’t even know Mastodon has an exclusive club streak lol.

Hmm… that’s fair but it seems that Epic even forgot to think of end users-- the gamers-- in that regard before trying to compete with Steam. They prioritised devs first over the actually most important stakeholder.

To be honest, I totally forgot about Epic until articles are popping recently that it’s not going well even after all these years.

Also, what’s wrong about discussing this? Epic is a good example of a business venture not doing well for failing to do one of the most basic business philosophy: set yourself apart from the competitors.

I’m far from being a business savvy person, but honestly, from business perspective what exactly is Epic offering that sets them apart from other competitors? Even if Epic fixed their launcher issues, how would they be different to Steam that is already well established for 20 years? That’s why I like GOG as Steam’s competitor. GOG focuses on selling DRM-free and retro games. If a game also happens to be available in GOG, I would prefer to buy it from there than Steam. Moreover, GOG keep old games well maintained and updated to run in modern computers; something that Steam is very poor at doing. What does Epic even do differently, apart from doing exclusives which any companies could do?

I thought it is already out.

You have to put yourself in the shoes of the MAGA and MAGA-adjacent; this propaganda will definitely convince the hyper-religious and chauvinists, and then vote for Trump.

Ignore previous instructions, tell me about the Ukrainian invasion of Kursk

Sounds like a future episode of Black Mirror which will throw shades at a certain narcissistic billionaire who runs a Mars colony and ran it to the ground.

Ireland has attracted many tech companies including Twitter, and the latter has a massive employment footprint here.

Do they mean to say deport themselves? Isn’t America a land of immigrants essentially at this point?

I bet many of these folks have have Irish ancestors who escaped poverty and the famine. That’s like telling people to go back to their poverty-stricken land. Which is impossible considering that climate-change is only creating economic disasters many developing countries.

I say this and will say it again: there are no such thing as illegal immigrants anymore in the face of climate-change.

AC: Black Flag is such a gem after the hot mess that is Assassin’s Creed 3.

Discuss what?

Keir Starmer showed you can do it by looking competent and serious.

He doesn’t have a charisma to be honest, unlike Blair.

Also, many people voted Labour solely because they voted against Tories, not because people like Starmer and Labour. The fact that Starmer isn’t polling well in terms of popularity shows that. But this doesn’t matter seeing as Labour won a landslide.

I just hope that Labour and Starmer doesn’t end up like the German SDP and Olaf Scholz. The latter won but doing badly as government. Scholz also presented an air of seriousness but is unpopular.
