So I can’t find a great answer, but as best I can tell StatCounter uses user agents to determine this data, the web browser being the most obvious source but not the only source.

The user agent for most web browsers on “macOS” the operating system generally report as “Mac OS X”. So other user agents, which report things like “Macintosh” but rarely actually “macOS”, are reported as “macOS”.

This also explains why “OS X” has a larger share than “macOS”. Web browsers on the macOS operating system are used more than “other”.

At first glance you’d think “OS X” and “macOS” should just be combined. But chances are if someone is using a web browser on macOS, they’re probably also using “other”.

Another problem is that we don’t know how StatCounter is handling duplicate/fake data. If I constantly hit refresh or send analytics from a single device, how is that counted? What if I send “OS X” and “macOS” data?

Luckily we also have the Cloudflare data, which shows Linux between 9% and 15%. So StatCounter using 10% is probably on the lower side, but within the margins.

The Thing should be fine.

This looks more action heavy than I would have guessed the film needs to be. I guess they’re trying something different, but I’m not sure it’s going to work.

Curious to see how it reviews.

I mean nowadays you carry a computer on your person constantly. Your hands are touching a computer, your eyes are looking at a computer.

Computer glasses are seen as the next step.

I’m not confident it actually is, but I understand the why it’s being tried.

Except that one time when you use portals to cut the neurotoxin pipes.

is it all posturing

we still value our physical culture. Rather than completely abandoning that, we are currently challenging ourselves to shift towards being able to think about and act on the important aspects of digital in parallel.

Yeah. They are challenging themselves to think about the shift.

It Sony doesn’t make disks or the PSwhatever doesn’t have a disk drive… Not much to think about.

It’s a good message, but just a message.

The timing of AM2R (Another Metroid 2 Remake) was unfortunate. Nintendo pretty much ignored the Metroid franchise, but they had done a remake of the first Metroid game “recently”.

AM2R came out right around the time Nintendo was announcing their own Metroid 2 remake, and a solid one at that. (That same developer would next make Metroid Dread, which is excellent.)

Regardless Nintendo was going to takedown AM2R eventually, but they were particularly aggressive because they were also remaking Metroid 2.

But both games are excellent. You should play AM2R.

He was asked a question and this is a build up to comic con.

Plus movies don’t just suddenly appear in theaters. We know about them well ahead of time.

It’s not one-to-one but Pokopia exists and sold extremely well.

I mean this movie is a crossover movie. That being said I’m confident they’ll explain who everyone is and what’s going on during the film.

Look at Infinity War. Hulk returns to Earth and everyone is surprised he is back. Do you need to have seen Age of Ultron or Thor Ragnarok? No. Hulk was gone, now he’s back. The Avengers broke up. Did you need to see Civil War? No. The film shows bad blood between Cap and Tony.

Plus look at a film like Shang-Chi, apart from a little connective post credits it’s stand alone. Sure Wong and Abomination show up, but you don’t need to know anything about them other than what happens in the movie.

But if you really want stand alone, look at animation. DC puts out at least a film a year, either completely standalone or “technically” in the same universe but it never comes up.

I’ll be curious to know if it was just your theater or it the film is just “too loud”. Nolan makes great films, but this isn’t the first case of the audio being terrible.

I saw it at a nice theater who by all accounts knows how to set up films properly (and has in the past). However I definitely felt like the dialogue was difficult to hear (since other louder sounds were playing) especially at the start.

I agree, but you can still browse new reddit without logging in, mostly. Also Google still lists Twitter which also requires a login, so they were never going deindex it anyway.

Find Mitch. You have 10 seconds!

I agree that the massacre of the suitors was a little bit long-winded. But I think it had to be in order to give Tom Holland his moment of triumph and in order to make it believable that Odysseus might actually die.

I also loved that he didn’t need to kill them all, since they began to kneel before him.

I mean I suspect Coleman Domingo would play that part, but Keith David should definitely be involved.

Basically they’ve written the design document for the next game, which is why they can reveal the engine because that’s been decided on. It doesn’t mean they know the story yet, but they likely have a good general idea, because that would inform the design document.

For example if the game needed jetpacks, but that wasn’t an existing engine feature, then they have a plan for jetpacks. And if you NEED jetpacks, you probably know roughly where they’re going to be used, so you have some gameplay/story ideas mapped out.

But also a design plan and a finished product are very different things. You might plan for one thing, but create something very different.

So the game is probably still 4-5 years away.

Brilliant. The movie just flew by, you could have added an hour in there and I wouldn’t have noticed.

That being said, you can’t end every scene by having Odysseus and crew running to the boat.

I think John Leguizamo was my favorite character & performance. I only really knew the lead cast so his appearance was also a surprise. I wasn’t really locked in to the film until he dropped a dog off a cliff.

Samantha Morton was a surprise. I don’t think I’ve seen her in a blockbuster since Minority Report. Her Circe was disgusting and will haunt me for years to come.

Story of course is epic.

So someone else can correct me, but the architecture for consoles has gotten less complicated.

The GameCube, Wii & Wii U run on a PowerPC CPU architecture. Switch & Switch 2 run on an ARM architecture.

But the recent PlayStation and Xbox consoles are all x86/x86_64, which is the same as your PC. So these consoles won’t need recompilation.

For the Switch series, while ARM would need recompilation, it’s also hugely popular. I know Valve is doing some ARM magic, although I think that’s to ARM and not from ARM, but it still might be helpful. But importantly recompilation of these should be much easier.

This multi-year collaboration is set to begin in 2027, starting with the first reveals of three 6" scale figures at San Diego Comic Con (July 23-26, 2026).

The Legend of Zelda film releases April 30, 2027, so I’m guessing this is related to that. The film looks like Breath of the Wild/Tears of the Kingdom style, plus those are the most recent games.

So the first three will likely be Link, Zelda & Ganondorf, in the BotW style.

You will like Supergirl and be entertained. But it also is a mid film.

Honestly the bummer of Supergirl is that you can see a better film is almost there. It has the bones of a great film, but it just doesn’t quite have the meat.

People like to dunk on Gunn for calling the script amazing, and then see the film and wonder what he’s thinking, and I get it. But cut the wrong scenes from the script or film them wrong and yeah, you get a film that just doesn’t quite work.

Don’t get me wrong I have issues with the story, but you could probably convince me otherwise if you tell a slightly different story.
