Demonstrating a complete lack of awareness: priceless.
Literally nobody was complaining about how Aloy looked in the remaster. 1 incel complained about her "beard" from the tech demos for the PS5 version of FW, but there's been zero noise about how she looks in this re-release. People were complaining that it didn't need a remaster, considering more people play PS4 than PS5 and the PS4 version still looks fantastic.
This is astroturfing by Sony/Guerilla.
Putting on lingerie to blow your delivery driver is not necessary. Appreciated, but not necessary.
I can't be the only one that was looking at buying a 14900K, saw the Intel news, and then started pricing out an AMD build.
In a civilized society, a product that is defective would be replaced with a working model or refunded. I feel like it's way too "geeky" a topic for most people to care. Like, try to imagine how many laptops and pre-fabs, not to mention OEMs, that got moved in the 13th and 14th gens of CPUs. Yeah, we know we fucked up and fried your CPU, rendering it nowhere near the performance we promised it would be at. Fuck you anyway.
Shut the fuck up, Lindsey. Point to Iran on a map.
Canada has our own issues with national identity, and it's only being exacerbated by the weak policy making that is doing very little to stem the tide of irresponsible immigration that only serves the ruling class by growing their real estate portfolio's worth. Between corruption at the highest level in our Federal government, and the Trumpian brainrot that PP and people like Jordan Peterson and Maxime Bernier are more than willing to incept feeble-minded Canadians with, we ain't picking up shit for slack.
Nationalism sucks no matter who does it. Address immigration problems using data and pragmatic policy. Don't address it by allowing bigotry to fester in your population based on lies.
Seriously. Why does every single Center->Left of center government not understand the alt-right playbook at this point? Stop trying to fight fire with water (good guy things) and start taking a page out of the Dark Brandon playbook.
The irony is that all it would take is one high profile person or a nation state to commit to using Mastodon, and slowly you would see the numbers start to increase. People are actively looking for an alternative to Twitter, it's just that the vast majority of people have no idea that Mastodon, Lemmy, or the Fediverse on the whole exists. That's a double edged sword. Better content moderation with lower numbers, better social media infrastructure building becomes the norm with greater numbers.
Random civilian on the Enterprise "ALL HANDS BATTLESTATIONS!" grips chair harder
Because it's blatant consumer exploitation. Just because the Latin phrase "caveat emptor" exists, doesn't mean that it's a challenge for every scummy youtuber to launch a shite app in order to fleece their subscribers. This is literally the free market in action. The consumers are making their voices heard. I've never understood the mentality of "don't like it, ignore it". No. It actively undermines the work other people on YT have done to legitimize the platform.
Disingenuous shill. He's been a famous youtuber for years. He knows how consumers think despite getting all of his shit sent to him for free. There's no way in hell he thought this would work out. "I hear you" Oh do you, Markass Brownlee? You heard all of the noise that people think it's bullshit that you want to sell $50/year subscriptions for jpegs? What kind of philanthropic or based follow up do you have planned to capitalize on all of this newfound SEO?
Youtubers really don't have to answer to anyone. He loses nothing by launching this app, and he gains a whole lot of new eyes and ears coming to his channel. He'll find a way to humanize himself through this and new viewers will click sub because he'll appear super down to Earth. New subs = more sponsorships.
"I only hire the best people!" - some idiot
Is this even satire? It's just using the Simpsons to illustrate current events.
Despite their claims of total privacy, I imagine, like any software company, they have full access to their own back end including encryption keys and server logs. Meaning they can and probably will moderate their own platform if there is enough pressure from nation states/IP owners.
The owner of Libgen is Paul Boissel Dombreval, a Ukrainian citizen. Yeah, good luck finding this guy right now.
The fact that MBS gave Elon $22B in order to buy Twitter gets swept under the rug in literally every discussion. If the narrative was true, that Elon was forced to buy Twitter because he didn't know when to stop running his mouth, why would MBS be cool with throwing $22B at a thing without any hope of seeing an ROI?
It's a strong play if the idea was to take money from oil companies, come into a car company after it was already established, apply his brash personality as the defacto brand of the business, and then crater the sales of that company while the Fed applies 100% tariffs to Chinese EVs, essentially destroying the EV market for anyone who makes under 100k a year.
That's a lot of shit to carry. From 1993 Issue #10 of Mondo 2000.
