ATARI acquires INTELLIVISION brand
  • Calling the ATARI computers a "bomb" is a bit disingenuous. The C64 and Amiga computers were more popular, but ATARI was still selling theirs by the millions as a close second.

  • Atari Acquires Intellivision Brand
  • Is that the video that uses a deceptive title on a different subject, only to rant about Tommy for the rest of the video for 3 hours?

  • Slack users horrified to discover messages used for AI training
  • Do you know how to break the cycle? Use open-source software. Use standard protocols that aren't locked behind some greedy corporation.

    Why not take the features from Discord/Slack and integrate it into a new IRC or Jabber protocol?

  • Eric “ConcernedApe” Barone Can’t Let Go Of Stardew Valley
  • And have it end up like Starbound? No way.

  • [Gamers Nexus] Don't Buy a "Gaming Chair" - Office Chair vs. Gaming Chair Round-Up & Review
  • Every single office chair I buy for myself and my family is followed by an immediate purchase of rollerblade wheels for that chair. Standard office wheels suck, and replacing them is really easy. They glide so well.

  • After eight years, i resigned as a moderator of my community
  • It's like that Woodstock concert in the 2000s. You can't just recapture magic like that by repetition.

    Spontaneity is spontaneous.

  • The truth about linux having 15% market share in India.
  • Microsoft spent millions of dollars and clout to lock their OEM out of offering Linux on the desktop. There's a good reason why you don't see Linux PCs on the shelves of Walmart.

  • Why sharing the tech wealth is really important
  • Oh, you mean something like GPL, which has been responsible for more technological freedom than any other concept in the past 30 years, except maybe the internet? Even the Internet was built on open standards and public RFCs, with billions and billions of Internet-bound Linux devices.

    Let's not treat this like it's some new problem. The solution is right there. Just pick it up and use it, and thank your local OSS developer for actually maintaining the other software you use.

  • ‘Watch Dogs’ Movie In The Works At New Regency With ‘Talk To Me’ Breakout Sophie Wilde Starring
  • Sorry, you don't get to name drop A24 to try to sneakily connect it with a very not-A24 studio.

  • Why Reddit is ‘walking a tightrope’ with its IPO
  • At what point do we declare that it already fell off the tightrope?

  • For some Helldivers 2 players, the fascist role-play has gone too far
  • Correction: Polygon will find drama in everything.

  • Hasbro and Wizards of the Coast have "about 40" video game projects in the works
  • I watch Magic and that's it. Why? Because the game is too damn expensive.

    And no 4 player Commander except on the client that is built on Windows 95 technology.

  • Weird idea continues connecting fediverse and email
  • It's a protocol, made with open RFC docs.

  • Supreme Court restores Trump to ballot, rejecting state attempts to ban him over Capitol attack
  • This is an overly simplified summary that doesn't describe the objection to mentioning Congress as the only body to enforce the amendment. It was 9-0, but 4 justices made a special declaration pointing that out.

    While all nine justices agreed that Trump should be on the ballot, there was sharp disagreement from the three liberal members of the court and a milder disagreement from conservative Justice Amy Coney Barrett that their colleagues went too far in determining what Congress must do to disqualify someone from federal office.

  • Remedy acquires full rights to the Control franchise from 505
  • Seriously. I want to play Alan Wake 2, but not if it's on Epic's store.

  • No, electric vehicle sales aren’t dropping. Here’s what’s really going on
  • Country size has a huge impact on the ability to make sweeping changes to infrastructure and public opinion. A country the size of one US state can do whatever they want and it's not going to take 50 years to implement.

    South Korea has broadband everywhere? Sure, they are a rich country the size of Indiana and lacing all of that fiber is trivial compared to the entire land mass of the US, or worse, Russia or China. Governmental demands scale much differently the larger the country, and tax doesn't scale in a 1:1 manner to its land mass.

  • No, electric vehicle sales aren’t dropping. Here’s what’s really going on
  • Their policies on automated updates, garbage QA, and recall history are huge turnoffs. Oh, and attachments to Elon Musk.
