I think they need an application that simultaneously posts to YouTube and PeerTube. So creators can effortlessly post to both the existing platform with all the viewers while also adding content to the alternative.

Similar how OBS can stream to YouTube and Twitch simultaneously.

If it costs $1.51 I’m gonna flip shit.

It’s something I’ve noticed in general.

I had an amazing boss who was single and lived alone, and really love her staff. We had unecessarily long staff meetings every week. When I started I was annoyed by them until someone pointed out that the time we spent with everyone getting distracted and going off-topic and padding out the meeting while we ate our lunch around the conference room table was, for her, the weekly family meal.

I still don’t like unnecessary meetings, but it gave me a different perspective on why some people like them.

He saw the Escobar phone and thought it was a good plan.

There’s awesome AI out there too. AlphaFold completely revolutionized research on proteins, and the medical innovations it will lead to are astounding.

Determining the 3d structure of a protein took yearsuntil very recently. Folding at Home was a worldwide project linking millions of computers to work on it.

Alphafold does it in under a second, and has revealed the structure of 200 million proteins. It’s one of the most significant medial achievements in history. Since it essentially dates back to 2022, we’re still a few years from feeling the direct impact, but it will be massive.

Tracking someone’s history through screenshots sounds like a fucking nightmare for the person doing the searching.

It’s evil, but also a PITA for the analyst.

That’s why they need to be able to monitor everything on the internet.

Not for anything fascist, we promise.

Because the restrictions is technically on the city, not the organizations we aren’t allowed to hire.

It’s bullshit.

In Texas, government organizations not only can’t divest from Israel, but also can’t award contracts to anyone who divest from Israel or speaks ill of it.

It’s insane. When analyzing bids for janitorial services for City Hall a few weeks back, I was required to vett them for their stance on Israel.

Those are 2 excellent reasons to hate it.

They don’t even need to donate.

He’s openly selling access to the while house through his crypto scheme. They’re not even pretending to run it through a campaign.

Because Apple prohibited that.

If you delete your steam account or decide you no longer want to ise their login/launcher or Valve decides to ban you, what happens to all your past purchases?

You’re locked in. You just have Stockholm Syndrome for the company that started the online requirement bullshit everything has today by locking Half-Life 2 behind a mandatory online service, then letting other devs force the same bullshit instead of just loading up a disc and playing the game.

Look into Xreal glasses.

I was slightly wrong about the order. I was actually talking about Black Mesa, which was in the same initial batch of 10 games.

Steam Greenlight was a program where independent games without a publisher could release games on Steam, but it was absolutely exclusive. They couldn’t sell their game elsewhere.

Literally the first game released on the program was a free Total Conversion mod that you could download anywhere else for free, but if you wanted to get it installed through Steam, you paid them for the privilege.

That’s exactly what Steam Greenlight was before they stopped all curation of games.

I think a middle ground may be having that requirement for background mic usage, or usage without a specific user prompt that turns on a mic.

Lots of apps have legitimate use for the mic. Apps having legitimate use for the mic while you’re not actively using the app on screen are more limited and need stricter permissions.

I’d also like to have a hardware mic mute switch that physically disconnects the mic, so I can just keep it off unless I want it like I do with the mic and Webcam on my computer.

Epic charges 12%, but they’re somehow the villain.

That’s part of the problem. If they charged the same to developers as Epic, I wouldn’t be so critical.

For games primarily sold through Steam, Steam is often the most expensive part of the game. Is it okay that Steam’s take is higher than that of all the actual developers combined?

Have you ever played a game that was actually worth playing and thought that the fucking storefront and game launcher were worth 30% of the game?

Have you played a bunch of half-baked PC ports that could’ve used a bit more money on finishing the game?

Developers decide to launch as-is partpy because they know Steam will be taking a massive cut and there will be no ROI for fixing the game.
