Sometimes life won’t give you a choice. I broke my pinky… crouching down to change a diaper. Mallet finger. Weirdly easy to snap.

I’m on Boost, check the little HD button on the top right of the image when you click on it and you can also finger pinch to zoom in. A slight inconvenience, but probably a data saver feature.

I still listen to my local FM alternative rock stations and can’t stand Sombr, specifically that back to being friends song, which they play every two hours or so. The chorus lyrics make me feel dumber and the music itself is boring, I almost always switch stations when I hear it.

Admittedly it’s somewhat of a generational thing, but then again I also disliked similar music from the past few decades so who knows.

I’d be more interested in a fan sequel built on these. TP Link has more story in him, I’m quite certain (no spoilers, though).

That’s depressing, lol. Well, my guess is it won’t be 100% enforceable because there will always be computers with root access, and it won’t matter while Windows and Mac capitulate and 95% of the market complies because they’re used to signing up for shit. It might be illegal at the user level but not enforceable, much like a lot of other things.

Silver lining, another generation of horny teens will learn to love Linux the same way I was pushed into rooted devices at a young age.

Yes, I read that but how? We 100% should be more concerned with fed implementation than what states were doing, as I’m betting it’s going to be as stupid as UKs approach to app based verification.

I’m not sure they could even do that in a reasonable way when there are use cases like offline installs, no cameras, etc, but given Windows requires hoops to jump to avoid getting an MS account, that’s probably not going to be a concern of theirs (as Congress is exceptionally inept). At least the CA law seems to consider that, given it’s just self report.

I hope this just manifests as a transition from “I lied about my age to steam, Minecraft and pornhub” to “I let my OS lie about my age to steam, Minecraft and pornhub.”

But I get the fear that they’re going to take it too far and require ID, especially since the feds are a thousand times worse than the state governments in question.

Already mentioned but I’ll second https://isthereanydeal.com/ as existing.

That said, Valve has a fairly generous refund policy and the real kicker would be if Valve would automatically give you the better deal if the price drops within the refund window, backed up by such a feature. I heard them doing that before but it was only special cases, iirc, and the period is only 14 days but still.

Then couldn’t they just ignore that state in the tally? It’s just a quick way to disenfranchise your own state.

“I like FF7 but I wish instead of a JRPG, it was a generic ARPG” said an SE exec at some point, apparently.

He saw then charging a toll and wanted to also charge a toll.

Yeah, although I already did the goofball shit before parenting (maybe cause of my baby sis). Just now I have someone who appreciates random funny voices and silly faces.

It’s true, the only evangelizing I want to see on my feed is converting to Linux.

Of a high school of 600 people, they all know that one kid who is dating their AI, just like we knew that one kid who was emotionally attached to his anime body pillow.

If neither, Nuclear Fallout Friday…

Time to learn DIY book binding…

There’s something rich about this coming from Nippon Ichi’s former head, the company that brought us the artistic masterpieces known as the Disgaea series. Truly visionaries, lol.

(PS I like the games and tbf, they’re… unique).

I’m not even sure Valve has 1000 employees. They’re notoriously small with a weird structure, iirc something like 300ish people who are free to just take on projects and are well paid.

It’s kind of wild but Fortnite makes (or made?) way more money than UE royalties, like magnitudes more. UE is a boon to the industry to be sure, but somehow 5% of games’ revenue simply isn’t the same as insane people spending money on stupid skins and dances.

Now is UE was used for 20 games as big as Fortnite, they’d be fine but most AAA companies won’t use UE if they expect a huge haul, with a few exceptions of course.

I feel like they’re just covering their asses because the c-suite wants their AI summaries in emails and shit, but the devs know using it for anything is creative suicide. That, and maybe localization still wants their AI tools, which predate LLMs but probably get lumped in anyway.
