I still don’t feel like it’s a monopoly when there is nothing stopping developers from selling the game as a paid download off their own site. Players can even add that game as a non-Steam game and still get a mostly complete experience as if they brought the game from Steam. Companies selling their game on Steam was always a option and not a necessity.

You know books haven’t been innovating graphics for centuries. It’s scary how many people have been using old books for recreational use. How can newer book publishers compete?

Did the squirrel make it out OK?

There are several things I was doing in X-Org that I really don’t have the capacity to figure out in Wayland. One of them was customizing touch pad shortcuts, I used to like having 3 figure swipe commands that worked like keyboard shortcuts. The other was my KVM programs like Barrier seems unable to work in Wayland.

I hope for simple solutions to these problems in the future.

This was honestly my last straw with AEW. I had felt for awhile that the variety early AEW had (Young Bucks indie, Lucha bros Lucha Libre, Omega DDT/NJPW influence, Mox’s hardcore, Jericho/Cody’s WWE influence) was done with a single unified vision, with everyone putting ego’s aside to make something bigger then the sum of it’s parts. An AEW roster that was so respectful that Brodie Lee’s illness was never leaked to the press.

I honestly can’t say that the reactionary AEW has me gripped like the early AEW that was interested in long form storytelling. And one with a roster so divided you can feel dissension within the roster. I don’t want backstage drama to be the basis of ongoing storytelling, that’s not an interesting story. I want to see the show working like a well oiled machine. It honestly makes me uncomfortable watching AEW as it is currently.

I thought AEW purpose was to change the wrestling industry not succumb to it.

It is misleading. It is 30% of the entire revenue of the game. And it is objective whether Valve deserves 30% of that revenue. It’s also true that games aren’t locked to the Steam platform and can absolutely make money outside of Valve’s influence. History has shown though that it is less profitable then being inside the Steam ecosystem.

The efficiency is doing it so effectively that on an open platform competitors can create there own store, pay for AAA games to appear on their store, take the smallest of pay cuts, pass it on to the consumer, and still have customers prefer to pay more to be in the Steam ecosystem. I’m against monopolies but Valve’s is absolutely efficient.

That has always been up in the air, certain functions of the building and it’s link to the building has been designated a secret. It’s not like the building itself is inconspicuous though.

Looks like it been fixed up with a bit of trickery It’s a shame as it didn’t leave in that state it’s just the journey wasn’t particularly kind to it.

Hasn’t this been a bit of a running trend now? I’m sure I’m having Déjà vu from it.

I do want to read articles that change my beliefs and I’m willing to listen to any take that goes against the wider narrative, but nothing that was said here really challenges anything being said on most tech news sites.

Yeah news sites might not always have full understanding of the semantics but the wider piont of Google’s Manifest V3 restricting uBlock Origin capabilties and not offering an adequate solution is still very valid.

As a non-American this name still sounds really wierd to me. I just mentally picture meat juice on cookies.

Looks like it’s been rejected

Has anyone tested this on a Steam Deck yet and can report it's performance?

Reminds me of one of Oculus Quest 2’s default envioments.

Too many to count, but the entirety of “Cape Feare” was a good one. I only saw the film the episode was based later on in life. It was one of favourite episodes beforehand and seeing the references only increased my appreciation.

If growing up with Simpsons taught me anything is that you need to get the reference to like the material.

They recently got a new CEO a month ago because Linus the owner realized he was unfit for that purpose. It should have been dealt with years ago but I wonder if some benefit of the doubt can be given here seeing as the company was in a state of transition and probably would of cleaned up the work culture in private.

Or not because Linus still owns the company and the buck stops at the absolute top. He put his friend in high positions so it would cause a uncomfortable position when someone who wasn’t his friend lower down the ladder were to speak out. He has also consistently showed toxic masculinity in the way he acts and has spread it within the fabric in the company,

I have no strong opinion one way or another, but please tell me if I’m being unfair here on either side here. I think the company can still clean itself up and has shown actions before it was publicly known to address it, and I also think the company has misogyny in it’s corporate structure and DNA which will constantly be problematic.

Realisticly he was brought in last month so he wouldn’t have had time to properly analyse the corporate side of the company. Right now this is the best time or a fresh face on the top who could create change from the top down where these kind of discussions now has real weight behind them.

I think the best way to discourage misogyny is to suspend Linus who would be looked at as the source of it for 30 days and demote Colton who failed in his duties to protect every employee at LMG. Get someone outside LMG to manage Human Resources. Maybe one day that trust might return.

Imagine just how much worse it would have been if she just came out randomly. The fact she made a glassdoor review long before and it wasn’t picked up says a lot about LMG’s audence.

LMG has a massive frat boy culture to it. It was never hidden, in fact it seemed like it was welcomed and encouraged.
