I mean, you can sue pretty much anyone for anything, but fair… It is technically a ruling

It’s still just a policy though, which means it’s easy to change or to do unofficially if the courts reject it (which seems unlikely right now, but I’d love to see it happen)

Fair. And it only goes our way if Linux devs take a stand in the first place…I think they will. I hope they will

No, I shared my experience with the game and then explained why I think it’s also totally valid and relatable why they couldn’t get into it when they played it. Sometimes art is timeless, sometimes it can only be properly experienced in the time it was made for.

Although I guess most art won’t hold up if reading comprehension continues to plummet…

When the fuck did I say any of that??

I don’t know why you recommend games to people, but I do it so others can find enjoyment. I had a deeply meaningful experience from the game that I like talking about, but I also think it won’t hit the same in 2026. I just don’t think others will have that kind of experience with nier in the current media environment.

It sounds hard to be so insecure in your own tastes that you need external validation

And if everyone used E2E encryption for their private messaging like everyone who understands the topic has been pushing for decades, signal users wouldn’t stand out

The state cannot enforce this, it still relies on compliance in advance

It’s not a ruling, the FCC was ordered decided that they’re not going to certify any new foreign made home routing equipment. No certification means the radios won’t be legal for consumers to operate

This isn’t a law or judicial ruling, it’s policy

Technologically, yes, they could easily identify non-compliance with how much data is being collected these days

Logistically though? How are they going to enforce this? Sue every open source project that circumvents this? Block downloads of it with a great firewall? Fine end users? It’s just not feasible

Realistically, they’re going to go after the OSes with the biggest market share. Google, Microsoft, and Apple will be forced to comply on new devices, and maybe they’ll try to make an example or two to get compliance in advance

The game is a true masterpiece, one of the best works of art I’ve ever experienced. The pacing and story were amazing, even the boring and annoying parts are perfectly seasoned with new information so that your interest and investment to the story deepens

It’s a world and a story that flows like music, repeating the same melody over and over with new instruments joining in and swelling with each repetition. It constantly adds new information that recontextualizes the story entirely with masterful timing

I also don’t recommend the game to people. It was perfectly tuned in a way that no longer works, it was made for society a decade ago. Sadly, I don’t think you can get the same experience anymore… We just aren’t the same as we were then

This is a pretend problem. When have EVs ever caused rolling brown outs?

Grid can’t handle the current of all the cars charging at once? Charge them slower. Get a battery bank for your home to smooth out the demand curve. Throw banks of supercaps at fast charging stations. Fix the fucking grid as you go. Use battery banks on the grid to even out demand at any level. Hell, you can use the cars themselves as battery banks and bring back rooftop solar tax breaks

It’s a fake problem, our grid and production do genuinely need work, but in practice EV adoption hasn’t been a limiting factor at all

That’s the kind of incomprehensible thinking AI is best at

Why do carpenters need all those saws and chisels? I have a perfectly good staircase right here already

It can go either way… What kind of game do you want to make?

Focus on your core vision

I think modern phones are just too big. I don’t want to hold a tablet up to my face

Personally, I just carry a headset, but if that dies it’s only consideration for others that might stop me from putting it on speaker

Standardization and automated processes will fix that

It really does

I think they mean microblogging as a format

I mean, aren’t they? In a moral, ethical, and social stance, don’t they share in the blame?

Okay, let’s say you have a fuel injected car, but instead of using the 02 sensor to decide the fuel air mixture, it just squirts the same amount of gas every time.

The hardware might be able to achieve 400 hp, but the software means it only ever achieves 50 hp

It’s like that. The software drives the hardware. It doesn’t matter how good the hardware is, the software is the brain of the operation - if the software doesn’t know how to utilize the hardware properly, you’re going to have piss poor performance

Driver’s? They literally drive the hardware your computer is using

You realize not everyone has the same level/type of ADHD? And not everyone responds the same to medicine? And that ADHD is often comorbid with other disorders?
