Just because it’s the same doesn’t make it worse though - so it definitely is up there with the best game soundtracks of games from this year

I always assumed incognito was just disabling history and cookies.

The problem is that without those exclusive deals noone would change

Most people didn’t buy EA games at origin or Ubisoft games at UPlay even though you needed those launchers anyway. They even didn’t buy CDProjekt games at gog despite the games being dem free there.

Excluding deals on sought after games is literally the only way to get a majority of the players moving away from there comfortable “I have ally games and friends there already” position

People are lazy and hate change - without force it’s not going to happen

No it won’t - people are lazy

Even CDProjekt sold many more copies on steam than GOG when you

1. Actually own the ge there instead of renting a licence for it.
2. Know that 100% of your money go to the game developers.
3. Get many additional goodies for free

Don’t tell me people are choosing the better deal when it’s all just steam having the might of “I have most of my games there already” on their side…

Let’s also not forget that game developers have no choice but to release on steam if they want to have any chance on breaking even since they have that huge of a market share and that Epic challenging that already lead to better deals for developers since Valve hat virtually free reign before

I don’t know how it is in the us but here in Germany many (single-brand-)dealers are also licensed mechanics (for that brand) - and since EVs are taking much less repairing than traditional cars they are basically shooting themselves in the foot by selling them

The main upgrade they need is the processor because the companies making those are not supporting newer Android-Versions and at some point that becomes a security-issue.

Problem is that replacing the processor to a newer generation usually means the whole mainboard is obsolete, too and then is very quickly doesn’t become easy to upgrade anymore

just switching between different types of cameras, screens etc. wouldn’t be as big of a problem but that’s also not part of the main-problem either

China is not a country that gives subsidies but a corporation that invests in branches it wants to grow

I’d imagine the situation is more dire to those filmmakers and journalists that do narration as a job

Why would you need them if you can just use the voice of an AI impersonating famous speakers like this

Solving security issues with the fingerprint scanner by not supporting it in the first place?

Do payouts for creators increase if people that watch them have premium? If not you are not buying it for the good content but for the service infrastructure

The problem is breaking up the network effect from messaging apps.

Noone is uninstalling WhatsApp since there’s always that one guy you need to keep in contact with that refuses to change.

Having aggregators like this is helping break up this

If only there was a law forcing messaging services to open an API for free choice of 3rd party apps…

Recency bias at work

What would you expect “-1 month” to do for a date like 31st of March? Would the result be the same as for “-1 month” on 29th of March?

If you go back 2 months so the 31st is existing again - should that mean that the result of using -1 month twice should be different to using -2 months?

I think it’s just a stupid way to implement something like this as “month” isn’t a defined size so defining it with a fixed value and documenting it properly is a decent solution but noone should use that kind of function in the first place

Except if it’s in Chinese interest to skew the public opinion in a certain direction (like in this case the Anti-American and anti-imperialist-spins on the war against Hamas)

I’m sure the fact that that happened at the same time as Microsoft pushing their Game-Pass and their own Store is just by chance…

don’t kid yourself and think that they did that just for the benefit of the users and not to be able to get games and users away from Microsoft if that’s necessary…

That’s exactly why I don’t understand people defending Steam just because right now they are only using their monopoly against the developers but not against the users. One day that will change and move will have seen it coming.

Same with Google abusing YouTube creators for years but only now when they start pushing against adblock people look for alternatives.

Too many people are just lazy and complicit

Most people tbf
