Even if there were literally no other competitors, GOG holding 1/6th of the market share (your words) absolutely precludes Steam from being a monopoly.

but they do have enough market power to be considered a monopoly

Bullshit. Being the most popular platform does not automatically make a monopoly, this is armchair lawyer nonsense.

lol, what? “Bubble” doesn’t just mean something is expensive

Every headline about this Windows AI is dumb FUD because turning it all off is trivial

1. Is it actually trivial, though? Does that trivial change turn off all of the various instances of AI scattered throughout the OS?

2. Do you actually believe they won’t release new things under different flags, and that you won’t have to play AI whack-a-mole every update?

People can safely use Windows 10 online for the next decade as long as they follow basic online safety.

This is a fucking braindead take. A few months, a year, maaaybe? But a decade? No chance in hell.

It’s easy right now for companies to pretend layoffs are caused by the shit economy or tariffs.

it’s called ecofascism and you’re gonna love what comes next.

…did you think “eco” meant “economy?” 😂🤣😂🤣

Ooooo, good to hear! I played something like 15 hours when EA first released before deciding to put it away until full release. It was definitely good then, so I’m excited to see what it has turned into now.

So do you take a 1500 kg weight (about the weight of a Toyota Camry) and raise it about 7.3 meters (about 2 stories in a typical residential home)?

Honestly that is way, way more reasonable than I was expecting. This isn’t half as bad of an idea as I thought it would be

I still have a FAT32 external drive that this (very) rarely still bites me 😫 there’s nothing important on it, so I’ve been lazy

Am I crazy or can you not be a lesbian if you’re non-binary

Sounds like the thing that will finally get me onto another platform. Sideloading is the only way around most of these companys’ draconian restrictions.

You only notice the bad updates. There are probably over a hundred good ones for each annoying one that you notice.

It’s another thing to walk around acting like the word your little brother made up is common place knowledge

Did anyone here do that? It seems more like someone tried to teach someone something, and someone else said “NO, THAT KNOWLEDGE ISNT COMMON ENOUGH, SHUT UP”

Look at Mr. Free Time over here with his 3 hours

You seem to think squeezing as much productivity out of them is the goal, but if we treated them like humans you might do better for them and in the long run your children.

I’m the one arguing that they don’t deserve to be your slave… I’m sorry you feel entitled to so much of their time. They’re overworked, understaffed, and have to deal with so many entitled parents.

Logging in the moment saves them literal hours. It also doesn’t mean you can’t talk to them, it just means you can focus on the important parts instead of wasting time that could be spent focusing on the children.

This one is mostly unrelated, but seems important: Do you think everyone’s memory is infallible, or that daycare workers are superheroes?

They’re not good at debugging. The article is pretty spot on, IMO - they’re great at doing the work; but you are still the brain. You’re still deciding what to do, and maybe 50% of the time how to do it, you’re just not executing the lowest level anymore. Similar for debugging - this is not an exercise at the lowest level, and needs you to run it.
