This is an example of "overthinking," also known as "underthinking" or "over-concluding."

Based on your UID, you're old enough to remember when games actually worked at release and have no excuse for your ignorance. The current situation is one we allowed to happen with prebuys and a passive acceptance that all software is now effectively in beta forever.

It doesn't need to be like that and you damned well know better.

The first one you mean? Weird minority opinion, but you're entitled to it.

The one and only thing that matters to the mainstream modern media outlet is reactions, because people don't care about news any more, they just want to feel something.

That's not quite true. You only need to offend one person to get modded down. However, if you also provide value, then you will probably not stay modded down. My karma has only been anywhere other than right up against the kap a couple of times in the last... uh, long time.

Yes. And also and.

But bsky is an echo chamber and feceboot is not, and I want both things.

Twitter is too much of a cesspool to care that I got banned for saying mean things about Leon

You mean people confused by multiple mouse buttons who can't figure out how to configure Safari?

Up 3% today, aka yesterday's tomorrow.

This is why I don't trade stocks, I don't know shit either, but you sure can't take most people's advice

Pot kettle black, fucker. You never use a nice word where a rude one will do. I answer rudeness with rudeness and I won't apologize for that, people who are dicks deserve dickery.

Have you seen the garbage big-bucks "enterprises" will pay for? I thought you said you were experienced. If you only know code and not anything about business maybe you should calm down and take a breath here.

I mean have you seen the thing where Zuckerfuck called people who trusted him enough to give him their personal info for facebook "dumb fucks"? You should expect Facebook to intentionally not ban the worst people, if you are familiar with what a piece of shit Mark Fuckerberg is.

No. It literally wrote it "coverged". Now that I'm at my desktop I can just write it.

Also, the correct word is COVERED so even if it did write "converged" that would have been incorrect. But it didn't. Instead it wrote something that isn't even a word. That is the level to which Google has fallen.

Yeah, but there's usually some troll squatting atop the problem preventing it from being resolved.

Banning teens from social media will never be widely successful - Because it doesn't need to be.

These laws have nothing to do with protecting kids, and everything to do with stripping adults of their privacy. The kids will find workarounds like VPNs or AI generated IDs, because they have no alternative; meanwhile most adults will grudgingly hand over their ID cards and subject themselves to completely untrustworthy biometric tomfoolery rather than go cold-turkey from their daily doom scrolling.

And the world gets worse for all of us.

The entire point of gaming consoles is that we can stick a game in, turn it on, and we're more-or-less instantly in the game. Absent that fundamental benefit, why exactly would anyone want yet another locked down computing appliance in their house?

I'm not sure Sony has really thought this one through - They're not just killing physical media (and more importantly, second-hand markets), they're shifting markets entirely. Rather than competing with only Microsoft and Nintendo, they're effectively making themselves nothing more than another AAA gaming studio combined with a lock-in to their walled garden of a marketplace.

Effectively, they're now competing with Steam rather than Nintendo. And unlike Sony, most customers like Valve.

This is exactly what someone would say if they never produced any content of value

Ducking Google keyboard bullshit. I typed that how I wanted it in quotes and Google "corrected" it for me.

It spelled it C o v e r g e d

I already replaced my browser, now I have to replace my keyboard again? So irritating
