That doesn’t sound like government efficiency.

Depending on how the remaster goes, Skyblivion might still be the better game.

Coolio. More technofascist-controlled social media. Nothing could possibly go wrong here.

Especially when he has basically admitted that it is stock market manipulation. Everyone knows the tariffs will return or potentially even something stupider.

Do you know how I can tell when I have an incoming call or message? My phone, which is in my pocket, makes a noise and vibrates. Why the absolute hell would I want my vacuum cleaner to notify me of a call?

And the washer too? Do they seriously think people just sit around at home taking calls every 5 minutes that they need every appliance to be able to make/take phonecalls?

She went into prison in 2023 so she will be there for a while yet.

I don’t think her wealth is known exactly but she and her company lost billions during the scandal.

Elizabeth Holmes comes to mind. She manoeuvred herself into a position of wealth and power by defrauding other rich people and got herself 11 years in prison for it. That’s 11 years more than most other rich scumbags get.

Using generated frames so you can have an even faster frame rate of blurry and smeared frames and godawful raytraced jittering shadows.

Makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

Oh nice. New enemy types and combat mechanics! That’s something the game badly needed.

Is it missing ROPs too?

So what will it be this time? Massively overpriced? Zero stock? Burning power connector? Missing ROPs?

Maybe all of the above?

The Convoy being a rights movement was a skin-deep excuse for what it actually was. It did not take long at all before it turned into a general anti-vax fascist movement that saw significant funding and support coming up from the US.

“Tell me of at least 5 privacy laws you’ve violated in the last month or you’re fired”

trying to flush a turd but it keeps floating back up to the surface.

X competitors like Bluesky, Threads, and Mastodon have so far remained active and accessible, giving X users alternative platforms to jump to while X works on its issues.

Why wait? Jump ship and never look back!

Beautiful news.

That explains all the AI crap they’ve been chasing for a while now. They’ve been trying to juice up the value to make it look appealing to potential buyers because you can basically slap “AI” on anything and it instantly shoots up in value.

Discord is effectively dead if this goes through.

Not going to happen. Not for a long time. As much as we would want it to.

The phone market is brutally, viciously competitive and an outsider trying to jump in without Android or iOS is almost guaranteed to fail. We used to have numerous options from all kinds of companies that came with a variety of operating systems but each one fell to the duopoly.

People are glued to their phones and social media more than ever. I would expect an attempt to get them to move to a non-American mobile operating system and phone would fail very quickly. Blackberry did used to make their own line of phones that ran BB10 and they were excellent. Nobody bought them though, or at least not enough to justify their continued production. Even fewer bought the following Android-powered BB phones and eventually Blackberry pulled out of the market. The same story for Windows mobile phones.

There are plenty of options for non-American cellphones and I’m sure in the coming years we will see Canadian ones too. The problem is that they will almost certainly run Android which means American control over your data and feeds. Getting Canadians to accept a sacrifice in short-term phone functionality to regain digital freedom in the long run is a tall order.

Those datacentres have to pay the increased prices too. More expenses, less profit, angy shareholders.

And it will tumble even more when Donald tariffs Taiwan silicon imports. And when the economic strain means Americans are not able or willing to dump several grand on a GPU.
