Based on what? All apps just look like this now. If you blurred the content and told me this was the Netflix app, I’d be like yeah checks out.

Hands trembling. You reach into your pocket and pull out your phone. Opening the browser you type in deviant art and open a collection you’ve named Rule 34

Good god that is a hard headline to grok. I thought it had something to do with the actual day prior to something else.

I mean given the massive industry layoffs over the past few years developers are already pretty used to not having jobs.

I hate how developers are the ones attributed to game industry problems. Decisions like this almost never fall on the developers shoulders, specifically the ownership quote was from their subscription service director. You know… the guy whose job depends on you not wanting to own games.

Things like unit tests I just have AI do it all now. Since running the test tells you your coverage you can verify if it got everything or not.

There’s a good episode a few months back where the CEO of Logitech tries to justify the mouse subscription.

He’s also one of the hosts of the Vergecast https://pca.st/podcast/5cda9490-4117-012e-1622-00163e1b201c

Exactly. FDroid is a fraction of a percent of Android users. To get syncthing on your device you have to pass a lot of scary looking warnings on the way to get there. This is exactly what the monopoly trials were about.

Also shout out to the Xbox birth to death ad

I think the intention was sentient life as having Thanos stop the film to explain the terms and conditions of his snap would’ve impacted the pacing of the film.

Is this news? Emulation has been supported in official capacities since the virtual NES in game cube Animal Crossing. There’s probably even earlier examples. The Wii virtual shop, the Switch has that classic games library and even those mini consoles.

I remember searching stack overflow for a oddly specific issue and found a post about it with an answer. The person who asked the question was me 6 years ago.

I did get an email from HIBP so at the very least they got my email

I’m just waiting for aGameScout to drop a video on this one. He’s been doing excellent deep dives on every Tetris milestone

Would be hilarious if the next version of the pi zero was strong enough to emulate Dreamcast and play full Sonic adventure on the VMU

It’s probably obnoxious in real life but I really wanna do the ZZ Top ringtone from Bad Monkey

Worst thing about someone watching a reel out loud is you hear the same 15 second sound bite 30 times while they’re reading the comments.

I was raised in peak cereal advertising. I can spout off like 10 based on mascots alone.

Hell yea. Our unit test coverage went way up because you can blow through test creation in second. I had a large complicated migration from one data set to another with specific mutations based on weird rules and GPT got me 80% of the way there and with a little nudging basically got it perfect. Code that would’ve taken a few hours took about 6 prompts. If I’m curious about a new library I can get a working example right away to see how everything fits together. When these articles say there’s no benefit I feel people aren’t using these tools or don’t know how to use them effectively.

Parking tickets too here. Though they don’t call it a discount, it’s basically the price and if you wait too long the price goes up.

I love this. I feel like the internet used to be full of these crazy little art projects.
