Dan Olsen on Folding Ideas talked about Fortnite and a bunch of the dark patterns that they do in regular mode until you pay:

He called it “manufactured discontent”.

I think right-wing talk radio has been going for quite a while as well.

Okay, maybe sub-genre is the proper phrase I was thinking of. Thanks!

I remember working in the London UK office and we curse non-stop over there it’s great. Whenever our colleagues from SF would visit they would always be surprised how much we swear. I’d see them do the turnaround like, ‘what just happened?’.

It’s a cult. They have people denying COVID ever existed. Heartily rejecting vaccines.

There’s just too much to list but it only ever makes sense if you take whatever he’s doing as right and readjust everyone around him to work does it ever make sense.

The fact that this election is even close is absolutely insane to me.

lol, it’s alright, it’s cold communication on the Internet. I also genuinely thank you for both replies!

I mean I think I understand the argument for your distinction. I don’t play either games, I just watched VFX artists reaction and saw Snoop Dogg in it so I was wondering why it’s such a big deal with Tencent. As he does seem to “dance” in CoD: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EdhPvXhXoUM.

I may take slight issue with your last statement. To be clear, I’m not trying to have a “dishonest discussion”, I genuinely don’t understand the distinction and there isn’t really an article or anything here for me to clarify.

Thanks for your reply on it though it does clarify a bit more to me.

Isn’t he already in Call of Duty?

I mean did Usher, Beyonce or Taylor Swift start up an illegal lottery for government kickbacks?

I’m not sure but I don’t think they started Super PACs either.

The entire post of yours is dishonest but the Usher thing is especially stupid as well. Usher endorsed Kamala, not the other way around 🤡 .

I also like the absurd amount of permissions it requires. Meta couldn’t let their guard down for a moment.

To clarify, I mean Meta couldn’t be a little less data hungry in order to take marketshare from Twitter. They instantly needed access to absolutely everything at the start.

I deleted Twitter as soon as Space Karen took over.

However, my friends and so many people I follow on other platforms still link their Twitter profiles. For some there needs to be something solid to make a real and consistent migration. I was overly hopeful that Threads (yes, another evil) would have buried Twitter.

He also sold his stake in the “competing” company years prior and changed his terms saying the WP acronym was not okay to use after saying it was previously.

Sounds similar to the SSL stuff, like for GitHub and stuff. I guess the preference in that case would be my password manager as it stores my password already.

Perhaps it’s best I pay for Bitwarden premium now and use those hardware keys people are recommending.

Also thanks!

Yeah I didn’t understand passkeys. I’m like why is my browser asking to store them? What if I’m using another browser? Why is my password manager fighting with my browser on where to store this passkey?

I felt so uneasy.

So I decided not to use passkeys for now until I understood what’s going on.

What’s funny is that I saw the first FMA years ago and forgot what it was about. When I saw Brotherhood I was getting weird flashbacks while watching it…

At the end of it … Brotherhood was buried into my mind and I can’t stop recommending it to everyone. I can’t even remember much about the first anime.

I’d love to critique it against the first but I can barely remember the first. I think the first part was pretty close or something, but yeah.

I just got my pro fold, I haven’t used it that much as a tablet to be honest. It is nice to do when I need it.

Did you get the Google insurance thing that’s quite pricey with it? I have a few days to get it.

It’s important to BE Agile than DO Agile.

Yeah, but I think apparently the tests that “could” have caught it relied on mocks which basically rendered it useless in those cases.

Nah man, I minify it so it’s one line…

wait how many files am I loading again? wait, 6000? nuts.

Yeah, almost every review is along the lines of “this is a technical marvel” to “and now it’s sitting on the shelf awaiting a purpose”.

Through VR, Apple was “at least seemingly” going to move from games being the primary use to office work, but every review I’ve seen has been lackluster for that. You can do cool things but it’s missing a lot of features like the screen sharing and stuff.

It seems to fall into the “solution looking for a problem” category.
