Yep. I keep thinking all the mysterious drones being spotted are time travelers coming back to watch the fall of the American empire.

How does this article not include a picture of the ad?

Imagine comparing not being able to scroll through brainrot to prison.

This sentiment will be the downfall of America. Maybe that’s what you want. Not me.

It isn’t just about data, but influence.

That’s one way to look at it, not my intent but if that’s how you took it, enjoy.

More like, foreign control of my mental state is bad.

People keep making this argument comparing TikTok to American social media companies when talking about data.

What is hard to understand? Americans are fine with other Americans or American companies having their data. Americans are not fine with China having their data.

It is pretty simple.

I know this is unpopular, but I don’t understand why people care so much about which storefront they use to buy a game. I buy it where it is cheapest.

Hell, Epic takes less of a share of the sale. It is better for devs.

For me, the social aspect of the store I buy games from is irrelevant.

This seems sooo extremely common among software engineers.

Anyone that has tried the new version, does plex still make it really difficult to view your library by folder/file rather than by meta data?

I use jellyfin because I can get a folder view.

lol. Imagine still using chrome.

Also Red Rocks is there and they love to play multiple nights in a row there.

Israel: Yes, again.

Didn’t show up on my win11 pro desktop pc.

Software engineering work.

Mac for code and other work tasks

Windows for personal use during work

Linux for hosted applications and side projects.

That seems like some one off or a rural connection.

I work with a large remote team across the US. Most people on my team have gig internet, some get slower 100 meg internet. Mine is gig, I pay $60/mo and have no data cap.

You don’t like people fervently ignore it the article and just broken recording “install Linux” and “Linux is so much better than it used to be”?

Cool. I use Linux for something and windows for others and Mac for others!

I do it every time I update. It was pretty straightforward last time.

That’s said, I really hope this new app doesn’t change something or force me to download it to get the same functionality I have now.

Yes and yes. I don’t install this shit and just install drivers directly from nvidias website without logging in.

While I agree it is absurd, it absolutely happens. See the Las Vegas convention workers union. I was told that one worker could not plug-in an extension cord that had been previously plugged in because it wasn’t his job. There were numerous other instances exactly like that, while working a convention center floor.

It does happen.

In my opinion, where this “movement” failed was in the messaging.

“Stop Killing Games” is a great slogan written by a young person without much experience.

No company or government will pass a law that says, “you must indefinitely support every game you ever release”. Now, I understand that this isn’t what the group was calling for, but this is the message that comes across. Because of that, it immediately loses support from anyone in any type of software industry and likely many other industries as we know it isn’t realistic.
