Installing a launcher like this seems complicated enough that Ubisoft will have to offer a bigger carrot than just AC Syndicate to get me to jump through those hoops.

I really wish they and all other advertising companies would spend more time thinking about why people hate and go through so much effort to avoid ads, then innovate ways to address that problem rather than spending so many resources coming up with ways to force users to adhere to advertising they hate.

Okay, time give the phone back to your mommy.

Well on the flip side, if Google doesn’t mind paying that amount, Canada’s news industry just gets $74 million more every year than it usually does.

Congrats, Valve!

Well I usually don’t eat at McDonald’s, but I do settle for appetizers more often than I would like to.

I sincerely appreciate you taking the time to type all that up. I feel like I better understand your perspective, and I generally agree with it.

A business paying zero fees is not anticompetitive. One specific business paying zero fees when everyone else has to and doesn’t know about it is.

I actually sympathize. My wife and I are small, so when we eat out, it’s usually just an appetizer and a main dish that we share, and then we still need to ask for a box.

My friends love eating out with me because half of my food usually makes its way to their plate and sometimes they get to finish my beer.

Here’s a tip. Take those fries home and stick them in the fridge. Fry them up in an omelette later.

Bro.
How about giving people the option to pay less for smaller portions? Is that not allowed for some reason? I’m a small guy, and every restaurant I visit in the west pretty much charges me double and gives me twice as much food as I could possibly handle. It sucks when traveling, because I can’t exactly just take it home.

Just curious. Why do you think young men turn to violence when they feel like they’ve lost control of a situation? Do you think they do it because it’s just in their nature, or because many might have found themselves in situations where discussion gets ignored, pleading makes things worse, running inspires pursuit, and aggression made it all stop?

I’m not saying this to diminish the problem of domestic violence against women, or as an attempt to argue against any of the statistics. I just think angrily blaming men for violence rather than attempting to understand how such a problem manifests in the first place will not make anything safer for anyone.

(I hope I don’t regret jumping in on this discussion.)

On Kbin, communities are known as magazines. In the context of Flipboard, this actually kind of makes sense.

I’ve used Flipboard for a really long time. Not because I think it’s good or anything, but because I haven’t found anything that’s just so much better whenever I’ve looked. I particularly appreciate the widget on my Home Screen because it usually has at least one thing I’m inspired to read. I did install Feedly, but I don’t use that any more than Flipboard, and it seems to do the exact same thing.

If you or anyone else have recommendations to something tangibly better though, I’m all ears.

I measure the shit out of everything before I even go out to buy a TV. Having this feet design simply would have meant that either I wouldn’t have bought this televisi, or I already intend to replace the table.

It stands out more in the dark, where black pixels are actually off. Things that appear on screen look like they’re just floating in a black void.

Honestly, I think the anti-glare might have been fine. I got the 512 because it was cheaper and I had heard some of the concerns about the vibrancy of the anti-glare. In retrospect, I doubt I would have cared that much. Plus the extra storage and dual case would are a pretty compelling value proposition as well.

Yeah, haptic triggers, high definition rumble, touch pad… things like that.

I’ve had playstations for multiple console generations, but I just ordered an OLED Deck as my first ever “gaming PC”. Forgive the naivety, but could non-supported titles potentially get Dualsense features modded in?

They don’t actually want OpenAI, they just don’t want competition to exist.

512 OLED ordered roughly an hour after it became available online in the EU. “Out for delivery” as of noon today, (Netherlands don’t mess around) but it’s nearly 7pm now and I’m wondering if the DHL delivery man is actually going to bother showing up today.
