Generally the control im talking about is whether or not I can continue to play the game.

“A lot of game devs are sloppy about how they handle controllers” - making a game work for keyboards and controllers, and even more so allowing keys to be rebound, isn’t super straightforward. I make games in my spare time, so I encounter this all the time.

Yeah, when I want to emulate old games, I don’t really care if it’s legal or not, especially when I’m emulating it bcz it’s not available anywhere else.

I wouldnt buy a “digital only” platform service if they started paying me for it. No way in hell am I giving up what little control I still have over my physical console.

I mean, I don’t agree with his politics. But this opinion is no different than telling football players to shut up and play football when they were speaking out against systemic violence against minority black communities.

Jesus, why’d you have to bring floating point and machine precision into the conversation? Now I won’t sleep. And the nightmares will be worse than before.

Always someone who needs to explain and ruin the joke…

The nintendo switch isn’t trying to compete with Microsoft or Sony. They do their own thing on purpose.

What does nepotism have to do with anything? Also, pretty much all nazi’s fled germany after the war, so they wouldn’t have been in charge of rebuilding the German government…

That’s fair, my issue was mostly in how much testing was done before things were allowed on the road.

Im not gonna call out companies by name. I didn’t work for any of them, we supplied them with the motor control systems they were using, laying all their stuff on top of ours.

I didn’t think the advanced engineering division we had that did do self driving stuff was all that great either tho.

Heavy duty truck industry

It’s gonna take a lot more data and trust building to convince me to get in an autonomous piloted vehicle. After working in an industry that does autonomous driving and seeing some of it for myself, i don’t trust it at all.

Maybe i should have called it forced labor. They don’t exactly have a choice.

We never made slavery illegal in the U.S. That’s why we make various things a crime, send people to prison, and then bam, free labor for pennies on the dollar, and sometimes nothing. And the BEST PART, they aren’t subject to labor laws, so they can treat them subhuman, and create working conditions that would make you want to puke. Yay capitalism, where everyone is just a number.

I feel like this could be applied to more than the Linux community. Regardless, this was a heartwarming read.

This is a generalization that has some merit. but ultimately, generalizing an entire group of people and making assumptions about them isn’t a good way to judge an individuals ability to code.

See what they can do, and then judge.

I swear this isn’t a get off my lawn post

Proceeds to spend 5 paragraphs complaining about what people call the original Javascript. He has some valid points, but this is very much an older developer complaining about the new generation of devs.

Im talking about the content on your feed, not messages.

I got a Facebook again about 6 months ago so I could post our wedding photos for our friends. Before that I hadn’t had a Facebook in like 5 years.

90% of Facebook content is AI generated content now. I cant even see what my friends are doing anymore. Makes me want to just delete it. But, I do occasionally see stuff from family and friends, which is the only reason I keep it. Some people I only stay in touch with through Facebook. But seriously, fuck that company.
