While BOTW is a masterpiece in my opinion, it‘s not a Switch exclusive. You don‘t even need a Switch or Switch emulator to play it. Many people even recommend emulating the WiiU version specifically. The WiiU is a much better platform for Zelda games anyway.

More than 1000 companies also have sued the US government

I think it‘s past 2000 at this point and growing. This is huge.

Xitter or xAI shouldn‘t be allowed anyway and California cyberlaws are bonkers. I would hope both instances tear each other apart.

It‘s more like some business partner keeps hiding pages of personal information of customers in the work they submit to you. Then someone finds out you have all that information and now it‘s your job to clean up the mess. If you have friends like Discord you don‘t need enemies.

Lmao. A game accidentally receiving your Discord DMs and credentials if you sent a crash report just because game devs integrated basic Discord functionality is insane. But kind of what you have to expect from Discord and why I’ll never enable Discord integration.

I see. So who‘s going to jail for this? No one again? Damn we need to start sentencing entire companies to jail time. Everything should be frozen and shareholders shouldn‘t be able withdraw stocks until the time is served.

That is assuming OpenAI‘s tools are actually that powerful and useful or that Altman can keep convincing the US government they are. I would say it‘s still a very fragile enterprise.

I still wouldn‘t bet against the AI market anymore. Because even though the bubble must burst eventually the US government would intervene. There is no free market, just oligarchs enriching themselves all the way to he top.

A brain ship will be the last subscription you‘ll need before leaving your mortal shell behind to enter the hive mind of the web where our souls are merged.

Or something along those lines.

Pretty much. They‘re essentially outlawing privacy so there will be no point in resisting. This is worse than Orwellian.

I did a Tiny11 install with Rufus, felt accomplished and then asked me the exact same thing. Have been running Linux for 6 months now and didn‘t boot up my W11 partition since last year.

This headline describes the disastrous state of Microslop perfectly. It gets worse with every written word.

To be fair I wouldn‘t feel comfortable recommending a specific distro to someone. At least not long term. I do recommend giving Linux a try though and Mint is a good starter to see if you can imagine using Linux full time. But I really can‘t recommend using Arch to everyone. Other people have entirely different needs than I do.

I will not congratulate a terror regime that murders it‘s population in the thousands but I see the irony in big tech supporting Trump and now get to feel the consequences.

On one hand developers should always give players a way to play their games indefinitely. That should be a basic consumer right and I hope Stop Killing Games can change something.

But on the other hand I would lie if I said I‘d actually use it. I never had the desire to hop into a dead online game out of curiosity and I think at least 99.9% of players feel the same way. Because what makes these games great is the active community.

These things came and went after popularity faded. They need people to stay invested to legitimize their own existence. Pure nostalgia is not enough to preserve games even if developers release the server code. It‘s simply not that easy. I think it‘s important to be aware that communities make online games great and when there is no community then there is no game.

Highguard could release their server code tomorrow, but more people would mock them for it than applaud them. Virtually nobody would play it still.

No I don‘t because I don‘t live in an Orwellian hellhole (yet) like most people seem to do these days. Even if I did your comment is an admission of absolute capitulation. What a sad worldview.

Are you ignoring the whole subsidies thing on purpose? This is not BYD attacking Tesla. This is the Chinese government attacking western industries.

Call me conservative but I think that would still suck. A society where everyone has a camera on their nose pointing at you sounds absolutely dreadful.

That‘s the main problem in Europe as well. I don‘t mind tariffs on heavily subsidized cars that are designed not to make profit but to destroy our industries. However, even then our manufacturers are in a constant crisis mode and unable to adapt. It‘s really pathetic.

But hey, when the car lobby is dead maybe that means more trains and cycling paths in the long run? Perhaps there‘s an opportunity here.

The point both of you deliberately overlook is that China is not participating in a free market anyway. They never played by those rules so there‘s no point in treating them the same way as anyone who does. There is a lot of hypocrisy to be found in politics and economics around the world and China itself is a prime example of that. But a measure to defend yourself from an obvious case of economic warfare is the most understandable thing in history. Your criticism is misplaced and irrational. I mean do you seriously think a monopoly is desirable?

It didn‘t sell so no, it‘s not simply a grift. It’s just that nobody wanted it.
