   Well yeah, legal things aren't cool. I'm sure they'll find something else that's still illegal to use/abuse/do instead

   After 6831 (give or take) hours, I'm pretty sure the answer is "no"

   Nice, that might make it almost as fast as Chrome!

   Jokes aside, this is garbage clickbait - the reality as stated in the linked post is much more mundane: "Some processing tasks are now more than 75 times faster in Firefox"

   Ok, but why would a hardcore Linux person want to play games that embody everything they hate about Windows in their mode of production, data gathering practices, politics, etc?

   While I agree that banning legacy preference is good policy, how do you prove a violation exactly? And who is gonna do the proving?

   If you want to make this work, and you should, you need to do something like total application anonymization, which means identity can't be deducible from any application materials. This is doable with standardized tests, which are a good approach to solving the admissions problem anyway.

   So, college admissions should be based solely on standardized test scores.

   You misassume my meaning. When I say I games are not art, I don't mean they are not as good / important than art. I just mean they are different. In fact, if anything, I think they are much more important than art.

   You need quantifiable outcomes / performance metrics.

   I'm a fan, but I wouldn't really call his stuff games. More like art that uses game tropes as a tool of expression.

   It's because Windows is a mature, professional-grade operating system developed and maintained by extremely competent people with a lot to lose.

    Why did it take them over a year and a half to disclose this?

    Fucking LEGENDS. My first show. I don't even like them that much but what a run.

    Haha, fair point. Anyway, I reckon that for Steve Jobs that attitude was at least as much a branding strategy as a sincere personal conviction. Though then again, it's not so easy to say where Steve Jobs ends and the iPod begins.

    There's a reason everyone knows who Steve Jobs is and no one knows or cares who the vast majority of these corner-cutting "professionals" are

    Very cool, thank you.

    This is Tylenol, not an antibiotic. There are two solutions: * develop confidence, competence, courage, and communication/political skills so that you enjoy collaborating with others more (by virtue of being better at it) * find a way to steer your actual career towards something where you have greater/total creative control

    Actually, these solutions are just two different ways of working toward the same goal: absolute power

    Isn't that just too darn bad ~
17. wly_cdgr Apr 28, 2024 parent

    Thanks all!

    Google is hot trash, but the saddest part is that there's not even anything that's less bad.

    Congrats on the game launch. Funny way to promote it. Good luck, hope you get some sales!

    I saw that he signed off with that in the letter. What does it mean? Founding year? Callsign? Channel?
21. wly_cdgr Apr 26, 2024 parent

    I have never heard of this company but after reading this letter and visiting their website, it is very clear they were the real deal. My sympathies to all involved & affected.
22. wly_cdgr Apr 16, 2024 parent

    Seems perfectly reasonable. Y'all think this shit is cheap and easy to build and maintain? Just buy YT Premium, jeez.

    tfw your daughters weren't able to get good tickets for the Eras Tour, but you're Merrick Garland :)

    edit: it's a joke y'all, obviously they got great tickets with those family and Ivy League connections

    I wouldn't be surprised if they haven't, especially with the ISS being an international station. Good luck getting one national agency to accept enough of the responsibility! And then the red tape even if they clear that hurdle...
25. wly_cdgr Apr 16, 2024 parent

    That's cool and all, but I'm more interested in hearing whether they've compensated the guy whose house they destroyed
