Notion is really only valuable as a memory/brain for Claude these days. It actually excels at that when used properly. I was also annoyed by their gmail/calendar inetgration though. It really wanted to take over the inbox and tag things how it wanted. I just didn't understand the point of it.
I use left as change things quickly, break things, tear down Chesterton 's Fence, taking big chances, and right as gradually careful change, thinking about why things exist before destroying them, and be averse to risk. Trump is left of FDR in that view.
Republicans lost two presidential elections, 2008 & 2012, due to running conservative candidates. So they gave up and became a further-left party. Now Obama looks like a relative conservative
Voters are insisting on left-wing presidents, with the exception of Biden because the initial leftist shock of Trump pt1 was too much to absorb.
Micron started a new fab at their HQ in 2024 and it's barely halfway built. They have another one going up somewhere on the east coast also. They take years to build and many billions of dollars. They don't go up over night.
I worked at Micron for almost 9 years and have seen the fabs being built. Its not small feat.
If buying isn't owning, piracy isn't stealing.
It's like sneaking into a baseball game without paying, no, that isn't "stealing".
And just like that, if you're a kid, don't get caught, but if you're an adult with a job, fuck you buddy, nobody owes you a fucking game you entitled loser.
I see you registered here 3 minutes before me. I remember when this place was hosted in Robs dorm room.
PS5 DualSense is $84.99
The fuck they are. They're $74.00, for your _second_ controller because one is already included with the base system.

While steam controller is apparently $80 when bundled and $100 after. Why lie about this.
... wait, one is included with a PS5, then they are $75 purchased separately, $80 and $85 are for different colors.
Steam controller is $100 purchased separately.
Paying for something and then ignoring the terms you agreed to when you paid for it is one thing, but not paying for something then taking it anyway because you disagree, that's just dumb. It's not something you need and can't afford.
Nobody owes you a video game on your terms you entitled snowflake. What a loser.
Sony wants to sell something and remain owner. The verb that belongs in that sentence is "rent".
That's literally how copyright works, you retain ownership. You sell copies with strings attached. We're debating the strings, not the ownership.
You can have both, an actual threshold with an estimated 1% chance of passing any given year, and also not happened in the past 40 years. Also it's an expression for anything that feels about like those odds.
A hundred year flood can happen tomorrow, it's still considered a hundred year flood if the chance of it happening next year is still 1%.

Profits either go under the mattress, go out as dividends, invest in themselves one way or another, or used to buy someone else. That is any public company in a nutshell.
When it's codified into the highest law of the land and doesn't work, and suggestions to do so voluntarily can't work to the point of being laughable, what options do we have left?
There's always Nancy Reagan's catchphrase: Just Say No.
Any particular game is expendable. You won't miss out on anything. Games don't even have the network effects and lockin that you get with other types of software; it's a part of the economy where Just Saying No is easiest of all.
Don't like the quality? Don't spend your money. They have no power over us except what we give them. Stop being so selflessly altruistic when it comes to actively supporting your own abuse.
It's so damn easy, and there's already hundreds of years worth of hassle-free game-playing available to spend the few remaining seconds of your life on.
Can we use these glasses, or are they just as worthless as Google's and Meta's, where they choose everything for you, and you'll likely get a DMCA complaint if you try to use them for your own purposes?
If not, then $21.95 is about as much as these people should be charging for the product, which is obviously intended to get its revenue through proprietary software/services sales.
