due to the way causality works it would be pretty difficult to tell a story in any genre where someone’s opportunities in life are not strongly correlated to circumstances from their past that are outside of their control (like their birth)

And he’s right! It might not be as good as the games that came before it or after it but that bar is so high that it can still be a great game despite it

Almost always food

we’re all forced to work within the system, normies do so without questioning it

yeah this is exactly how it works for “self-driving” cars: https://gmauthority.com/blog/2023/11/cruise-av-operations-require-1-5-remote-employees-per-vehicle-report-claims/

Hard to tell the logo from the low res but it’s because it’s using playstation’s streaming game service.

Well, when a man and a woman love each other very much… they can visit each other in the hospital when they’re sick. For example.

I bought a PS5 so I could play PS4 games without having a jet engine in my living room and it’s absolutely fantastic for that. Also Demon’s Souls was very pretty and faithful to the original, very fun to get the platinum. Returnal was ok too.

(because he already knows, so being inundated with this information would be annoying)

“hey guys check out my photorealistic remake of the mona lisa”

Boost this one to the top, it’s the official reason given by sony. You can disparage it if you want, but it has technical merit. The audio codecs supported by mainstream bluetooth devices are meant for music, where you want the highest possible quality and can tolerate a slight delay between when you press play and when the music actually starts.

In video games this means you get a noticable delay on the audio. With classic video file playback like a movie, this can be compensated for by delaying the visuals so thay match up with the audio, but delaying the visuals in a video game is an even worse experience for the player.

Sony’s use of a proprietary audio codec via their wireless controllers is pretty justified. They’re able to optimize for latency and it shows (or rather, it doesn’t, since you probably would never notice it).

if only any of the problems that caused the civil war had been solved since then :(

I use nano on my servers because the default configuration can be used by pretty much anyone, even if I had to explain it to someone over the phone. And hopefully you rarely if ever have to make sophisticated changes to files on servers that would benefit from vim’s model.

If you do need to do consistent heavy-duty file editing on a server, rmate is really nice for that: https://github.com/aurora/rmate

But honestly both of these strategies are dated and I don’t use either of them professionally. These days it’s all immutable infrastructure: I use my local editor to make build scripts for immutable server images that there’s no point in editing files on running instances because none of the changes will be persisted.

yo wtf is this? copypasta? bot? both?

Yeah no, applications need to be secure by default. Blaming the user does nothing to actually improve the security posture anywhere. The security posture of the app needs to be specifically designed with the least-skilled users in mind because they are also the most vulnerable to this type of problem. Google meanwhile is full of talented engineers who are experts at identifying and combatting this type of malware scam.

To look at it another way, what google is actually doing here is intentionally exposing their users to malware in order to take a cut in the form of advertising revenue.

yeah

usenet is old asf

Like, shitloads of people ARE calling him out for that. 75% of Israelis want him to resign. Yet here we are.
