Go fuck yourself Wired. This used to be a cool magazine written by people in the know, now it’s Murdoch-grade fearmongering.

Hope they have aquatic cope cages to protect them

That ship has sailed, I thoroughly nuked an account that almost could have drunk in the us and I’d be fucked if I make another after the assholes restored my comments as by [deleted] or some shit and now they’re training fucking electronic snoids to parrot my wisdom and humor to obsolete me. It’s the principle I object to, I piss in this pot here knowing full well there’s runoff across the fediverse and I’d never be able to sponge back all the piss, but those assholes lie and steal.

Yeah, but I can get a refund for Days Gone which I haven’t played yet AND I can not buy as many of snoy games as they can publish from now on.

I wouldn’t let them fondle my testicles.

As always, people completely overreacting to the minor inconvenience of having testicles fondled. Crazy

I can help but wonder apparently?

It has the giant sadness installed, so it can fuck right off. I’m not buying hardware that doesn’t come with Linux anymore, I’ve been burnt before by their driver negligence / sabotage.

Sounds like what you get from ulnar nerve entrapment

This statement irks me unproportionally strongly compared to how banal it is. It’s the equivalent of “it is what it is” in saying nothing, but with some edgy pedantic seasoning. What about if the atmosphere was stripped and the planet was left a barren rock? What about if something knocked it from out of the Solar system and it was sent reeling into the universe on its own? “The planet doesn’t care, it can carry on without us” – and please, pretend I did the Spongebob random caps thing, because that’s what I think of your banality.

while i see where you’re coming from, being able to message WhatsApp users from a client app that respects privacy would be better than being forced to have WhatsApp installed on your device

Who’s forcing you? I removed everything Zuckerberg and just informed people I use only Signal now. I had to help my parents a bit with the install and the pin, younger than 70s did it themselves. I found that, if you have a reason for boycotting, people will just give you a hundred MB of their phone space and install Signal along with whatsapp

Now that Simple SMS Messenger by Mobile Tools has been bought, the answer is its fork, the Fossify SMS Messenger on f-droid.

Ugh, okay Meredith, let’s pretend it’s impossible to handle this with user experience that makes the user acknowledge their conversation with a WhatsApp user is not secure. Meanwhile if the only viable way for this conversion to occur is to have WhatsApp on both ends, the situation less secure.

I don’t agree with this. The only way to have the conversation is to have Signal at both ends.

Embracer could have done a little extending before going all extinguisher.

I really always prefer local coop but it doesn’t work well when it’s 3rd person over the shoulder and you have to split the screen into two different viewports.

right now there’s no alternative. It’s crazy expensive to make AA and up games

You’re kidding? UE5 with Nanite is a whole-ass studio and you can use it for free and pay a percentage once you’re making money. It’s never been cheaper and the games have never been more plentiful. AAA has this problem exactly because games like Palworld are hits eating huge amounts of gamers’ time.

All you care about is your games?

I also care about the people developing them when they’re a small business making exceptional quality, such as Flow Fire Games. But I can’t be fucked about Ubisoft’s 300-strong team in 5 countries producing shitty assets for a perfunctory openworld serving CEO’s monetization wet dreams. I don’t even have to get into Dunbar rationalizations, they destroyed the franchises I enjoyed, now I get to enjoy some schadenfreude.

We’ll have fewer games in the next few years?

We won’t, we’ll have much more games. Just fewer games developed by 100+ person teams.

I still wouldn’t use it, but Elon should buy it so he can more convincingly posture a saviour of independent social media. Just drop the tracking, sell square ads on the sidebar based on content only, open up api for all sorts of uses and make rif is ridiculous fun for reddit the official client. Give it to five geeks to maintain and call it a public service. What’s a bit more down the drain? It’s all gonna go Midas anyways. At least that would be a win for the internets

The third season of Witcher is a marvel, it’s completely incoherent shit cobbled together from scenes they had laying around and every scene with not much happening is drawn out for maximum time.
