Sparking

Antenna pod is great. I switched to it from google podcasts a couple months ago figuring this would happen.

Generally I was talking about Federal devices. Those move a lot of needles because one federal change can switch a lot of stuff over.

Yeah, I’m surprised your agency let’s you do that with firefox. First time I have heard of that.

It’s USWDS, firefox should still work as long as it is standards compliant.

Are they talking about government devices? I’ve never seen firefox installed on a government device.

Yeah, it will be interesting to see how the case goes.

They usually sign an exclusivity deal in exchange for funding the development of the game. David is alleging that steam pressured him in ways not covered by steam ToS. It’s not like valve funded development of receiver.

So what? Who cares if it “looks bad”? They have to compete on service. They need to find out why devs want to sell on steam at a higher price.

If other platforms want to compete in ways that make prices lower for customers lower for customers, so be it.

Yeah, it sucks when mommy and daddy fight.

That us all fine. David is alleging that Valve is trying to restrict other platforms wolfire can sell their cases on. Valve needs to compete, not threaten to stop distributing a game if they don’t like how it is selling elsewhere.

Steam runs weekly deals and daily sales all the time. I doubt they have to check with gog.

What right does valve have to discriminate against devs and publishers who are selling their game on other platforms? They have to compete for their business, not punish them for having a game that is more successful on another store that gives a higher revenue cut to the dev and a lower price to the customer.

David said in a blog post that the suit is specifically alleging price fixing tactics for other platforms that aren’t key sellers, but sell the whole game. Whether that holds up in court - we will see.

That hasn’t been my experience, could be a regional pricing thing.

David Rosen of Wolfire Games (Receiver, Overgrowth, Lugaru) is alleging that steam reps have threatened to de-list his game if he lists it as less expensive on other platforms. Specifically not just steam keys but other distribution platforms.

Not really. The imementation of land is most the same, they just run continously on a per word (token) basis.

Yeah, this is what I’m talking about.

So they argue that they want to protect users… from epic games? Like they are going to make a virus filled app? I kinda agree people need to be protected from fortnite, but its kind if a silly disingenuous argument.

Various parts of the US too, especially in distribution centers. It got a bit bad out there.

Luckily in the US serial manipulator safety standards are pretty well regulated - im talking more along the lins of belt sorters.

You are never supposed to be this close to a non collaborative robot during operation. Never ever. There are a ton of safety standards around deadmanning operations if someone breaches the Arms workspace. At least here in the US they are enforced through OSHA.

If this keeps happening in South Korea, I would guess it is an issue with however their safety operations are enforced. But you should never even get close to a robot like this while it is running without a light wall or something ready to trip. Even then, most places have the cells fenced off.
