Bill Maher is pretty damn conservative tbh

If the government slaps a 25% increase on the price of your imports then you expect a 25% increase on the price (assuming you’re selling imports directly - like PC parts).

It’s not rocket surgery.

I’m convinced he doesn’t need any of that, and if he decides to publish another game he can damn well take his time doing so.

He doesn’t owe you shit - he doesn’t need the money - he’s doing this because he loves to make games.

Why the fuck would you impose bureaucracy onto free creative expression? Just for your own selfish enjoyment?

Shame on you

Hey thanks for the correction - my mistake!

It is dogshit compared to tiktok in the only functionality that matters - algorithmic matching of content to user.

Yeah ok it can stream a video cool. That’s not worth a can of beans in 2025 - can it give you content that you want to see when you want to see it?

The answer is a resounding no right now. Until it’s consistently serving up top notch pairings of content to user interest it wont stand a chance in the mainstream.

As of Salesforce didn’t suck enough as is

I know there is Loops, but it’s not open source or federated yet, so it’s not really an option.

I mean the arguments themselves were fairly cogent, all things considered. The prosecution got grilled pretty damn hard too.

Because the app store isn’t the only way to install an app. It is trivially easy to side load apps and it’s well within the technologic skillset of the average 12 year old.

They’ve set it up so it’s a legal mess. The platforms aren’t given any mechanism to actually perform verifications (no double blind id system, for example) but are legally on the hook for each and every under-16 on the platforms. A quote in the article suggests it should be the app stores verifying which is even more fucking stupid.

Unwashed eggs have a much shorter shelf life before the salmonella gets through the porous shell.

The EU sells unrefrigerated eggs because they’re fresher - they spoil significantly faster than American eggs.

EU health and obesity rates have way more to do with urbanism than diet and health outcomes compared to the USA is such a useless comparison. America’s trying to kill you off the moment you get sick. Pay or die: yeah no wonder it’s such a shit show.

And the EU allows food that we don’t in ours, like Cyclamate. Raw milk and unwashed eggs are all perfectly legal too.

They’re not perfect.

Yeah I’m speaking from experience here in that about a third of my pay is in stock.

I wouldn’t say my pay is low though, for what it’s worth.

I hate OpenAI but this just seems like parents unable to process their grief.

I’ve seen how hard suicide is for parents to process and how much they blame themselves. Another option, one that doesn’t lead to the painful and repetitive soul searching, would be hard to ignore.

Tech is a bit different because a significant portion of your compensation comes as stock when you get higher up the ladder but yeah.

Corn syrup is no worse for you than any other sugar.

It’s definitely added to a ton of things but that’s because people like sweet shit. The corn syrup doesn’t hurt you - the overconsumption of any refined sugars causes diabetes.

Removing corn syrup and adding white sugar is just as bad.

You’ve got a financial incentive to have someone watch 30 seconds of video - so ofc you use all the skeeziest shit straight out of the chum bucket days of the early internet.

It’s not about attention span: it’s about manipulation and money.

Not only that but this meme is not about TikTok - they don’t have votes, especially not a downvote. This is almost certainly about Reddit: the only major social media site that has downvoting.
