This post isn’t about the games being removed from the face of the internet. It’s just one platform.

It’s too early to panic.

It’s DRM free. Just practice good backups man. No need to jump to piracy.

I’m not sure I always buy into the idea that precision is bad and broadly accessible is good. Not in this era of anti-intellectualism at least.

But I definitely see your point, if you are talking about making things accessible. Vague claims of “they just want to sound smart” smell of anti-intellectualism to me.

Isn’t it just precision?

I assume they just mean the idea that is malicious and not just stupidity.

huh, interesting! It’s The Mythical Man-Month! That book was published back in 1975. They definitely know better, but must be in quite a pickle.

I think manufacturing the complex evidence needed here wouldn’t be possible.

I had a similar thought. Why didn’t they just release democrat names? And I think it’s because while they know they can claim nothing exists (What they are doing now, after having access), if they try to cherry-pick info and claim that’s all that exists, someone with knowledge in the matter will be able to leak/prove they are cherry picking.

It’s also very tempting to buy into the idea that if the list is as long and vast as some suggest, it will undermine trust in a very real way that goes beyond MAGA/Qanon fringe conspiracy circles. I could see the Trump admin, as stupid and bumbling as they are, recognizing the fire they are playing with.

I hate how kooky that all sounds. What a fucked up situation.

Where’s that federation?

And how would this fit in? Are they just going to build a bunch of excuses into the platform, and then claim it’s now impossible?

Yeah, cover your shame.

Logged out YouTube was covered up a few years ago.

Are we aware of any big name titles that are not complete because they didn’t have actors?

Is there any chance this contributed to latest GTA6 delay?

Or did all of the major studios just switch to actors that are not part of a guild/union?

Makes me think of Dell.

Domestic US cars can’t compete with foreign cars. We’ve known that forever. Or at least since the 90s.

Growing up in the 90s in Wisconsin, all the conservatives around me always talked shit about foreign cars.

I can’t comprehend how they justified it. But I also knew nothing about cars.

It was only back in ~2016 that I realized how much building a car is similar to building a computer. Supply chains, common parts, designs made to fit common “cases”. Etc etc.

It’s exceptionally difficult to build a browser from the ground up.

But if anyone could do it, it would be a company with the money and (supposed) intelligence they have in their ranks.

There’s a group making a new browser engine though, I think it’s called ladybird?

Hell yeah

“What?! We help people budget!”

“What?! We help people when times are tough!”

“What?! 73% of our customers pay us zero interest!”

What! I thought these were banned nation wide already. Or at least in enough states where it made them go away. They disappeared from products I end up looking at.

Holy shit.

Reddit could have done this too, but never did. At least to my knowledge.

There must be a reason.

Service contracts are where the money is at!

You could use the full words instead.
