Exactly. Companies are typically working on multiple conflicting scenarios because you don’t know which it’s going to be

Linux users: 👐 it’s happening! 👐

Maybe take your irony detector to the repair shop, I think it may be faulty

Oh man! Yes!

Dutch traffic infrastructure. It’s incredibly safe, promotes walking, bicycling and public transport, well maintained and easy to understand. There’s a reason the largest Youtube channel on urban planning center around the Netherlands experience (and how other places could learn): https://youtube.com/@notjustbikes

And still they’re miles apart on the evil axis. That they’re both on the wrong side of neutral doesn’t make them the same. Vote to keep the fascist out and then fight zionism afterwards

Bonus points for the actor Wallace Shawn being based

Liking Voyager, after trying a few unsuccessfully. This is the first one that rivals the old Reddit Is Fun for me

Let me share this story: https://www.nytimes.com/2022/08/21/technology/google-surveillance-toddler-photo.html

The guy even has the police explicitly clear him off any foul play, but Google still won’t budge. Consumers have zero rights to something as fundamental as retrieving their own files or emails

Rookie numbers, they’re aiming for 100

True. Breadtube should stop with the slogfests

Great movie

Chrome got popular at introduction because it was much faster at loading and displaying websites. Sure, there was a marketing push by Google, but it succeeded on the products merits and not some unfair business advantage. It still is a great browser.

We do need antitrust protections but not always because consumers are getting a bad product. It’s more about the balance of power. Maybe their products are good now, or their business practices are fair now to other market actors, but you never know when that will change and then it’s too late. It’s like you need safeguards against autocracy also when they’re genuinely doing good job of running the country, because it’s never worth it in the long run when they inevitably start doing nasty shit

I think this should be default behavior. Countless times, blocking is used to silence disagreement rather than actual harassment. It’s used offensively as well: By blocking your political opponents, they can’t tell your followers that they’re in an echo chamber

I wouldn’t know, I’m a filthy casual. Parkitect never did it for me, but Planet Coaster did. The point is nobody’s making a new Rollercoaster Tycoon under that name, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t worthy successors from competitors.

Cities Skylines is a better example, I remember how much Sim City sucked, but Cities Skylines knocked it out of the park

I do! Thanks for the suggestion

It’s time for a new Sims. The way Cities Skylines replaced Simcity and Planet Coaster replaced Rollercoaster Tycoon. Fuck EA

My most watched movies:
Jurassic Park
The Firm
The Verdict
Children of Men
Arrival
Lord of the Rings

But you know all of those already. Here’s one you probably haven’t seen: Love me some stage play adapted to movie. Doubt (2008)

The new ones won’t catch on so it doesn’t bother me that much. We should be grateful that the enshittification isn’t faster when it comes to URLs
