Increasing traffic surveillance to automatically ticket scofflaws who block bus lanes, and deploying police officers to enforce rules on 20 daily routes, up from 14.

Good. Anti social assholes blocking bus lanes (and bike lanes) need to be stopped. They probably have a primitive moral reasoning framework, so maybe punishment is the only thing that understand.

I recently reopened Witcher 3, and was kind of surprised by how the graphics aren’t as lifelike as my memory. I remember being a lot more impressed by the bodies when it was new.

It’s all in-group pandering and shitty petro-masculinity. No conservatives should be in power. They are bad people.

I think some games on steam you can just launch from the executable file. I rarely have, because my process is usually “open steam… stare at list of games… pick one”, so steam is already open.

But yeah, at least it adds some value (proton magic, recording and screenshots, the overlay used to be real useful when i only had one monitor…)

Good. Break them up. Criminally charge their leadership.

Fuck Microsoft. It’s easy to not buy their shit. I’ve been doing it all day.

Break up Facebook

I also don’t have a lot of money for fun because no one is hiring because all the psychotic C-suite think AI is going to replace everyone. Or they think they can just squeeze labor harder and use AI as an excuse.

But either way, fuck Microsoft.

Ed Zitron wrote a whole thing about these people. Calls them “Business Idiots”

Microsoft should be broken up. A lot of problems go away if we just stop letting power consolidate.

You should be allowed to stand your ground and shoot dead anyone rolling coal. They’re assaulting you and everyone around you.

Do you mean, like, for kids to play? For adults socially? Or like professional sports like the world cup?

Microsoft will continue on inertia for years. but it’s basically a walking corpse full of parasites at this point.

I’ve seen a couple games that have the high res textures as a free separate download. That’d be nice. I’m not playing in 4k so I don’t need all that extra crap.

|| has a similar “oh that’s how it works in other places” behavior. I didn’t realize that for a while.

If Sony was selling a backlog going back to 1980 at deep discount with no monthly fees and DRM-free at the seller’s discretion, they would get less flak.

I think they have incentives to tag broadly but not accurately so they pick up more visitors. Tag it as “anal” when there’s like a glimpse of butt, and you might get more views from people looking for that. There’s no mechanism to punish inaccurate titles and tagging that I know of.

I’m pretty sure they don’t invest in search because it’s a poor return on investment. Most people just hit the first page, crank one out, and leave. The next cohort is similarly easily satisfied with their crap search. The people looking for specifics like “big tit short red hair reverse cowgirl pov outdoors at dusk” aren’t profitable enough to spend engineering time on.

That’s my hypothesis, anyway.

My hypothesis is that the least competent people use AI the most, and it’s a big multiplier on their incompetence.

There’s an element of self control to sticking to values. I’ve seen people proclaim like they’re going to boycott EA because of various reasons, but then some shiny new game comes out and those values fall.

Maybe they never really had he values in the first place.
