God do I hate CEO corpo speech. Nobody talks like that and it’s is almost exclusively used to dress up something ugly to look pretty, or yoake a lie look like the truth or just weasel your way out of an indefensible position

Fuck CEO’s

Microsoft is reportedly looking at Valve’s SteamOS as the benchmark for gaming

Yeah, that’s Linux

Valve’s SteamOS continues to show significant advantages over Windows 11 for gamers, with better memory utilization and improved in-game performance, but Microsoft has a plan to combat that.

Let that sink in for a second. Linux with a not-an-emulation layer API runs Microsoft Windows games faster than Microsoft Windows, and so now Microsoft is scrambling to get windows at least as efficient again as Linux in running Windows products.

Anyone ever trusting Microsoft again is a dumbass fool

And what will their ambitious plan be?

Marketing, bribery, coercion, cheating. Those are the only things Microsoft has ever excelled at (pun intended), as software development is something they have NEVER done well

I used to go to a computer club

I was one of “those” kids. This was during the height of the Commodore Amiga, the most beautiful piece of hardware I’ve ever owned. It was magical

Those computer clubs were on paper all about teaching, exchanging ideas, showing off hardware, etc

In reality, when you’d enter the room, there would be hundreds of Amiga computers running xcopy, copying one floppy disk after another. Everyone had their floppy boxes open, I had a few hundred 3.5" disks, in a Feib boxes. People would just walk by, rummage through my collection, take what they wanted to copy, and bring it all back later.

Everything was super respectful and so so so much fun. It was every last (or first?) Saturday of the month, and if look forward to it for weeks

Piracy was life at that time. I had no idea where to buy games, I barely realized that people would pay for software. I had zero money anyway, I would never buy anything because I didn’t have the money

It was a magical time and I yearn for it

In reali

I wouldn’t mind a USB-C sub type that works like that, just the connector is yankable like that, yet it’s pure USB-C and fucking compatible

Because if you think that Apple added this port just and only because of the yankable cable, and not to again be purposely be incompatible so they can squeeze more money out of you, then I have a bridge to sell you…

Oh yeah, rage sells even better than pornography.

Meta and Google etc realised this years ago already and tuned their algorithms for this. Get people enraged, they’ll scroll more and see more ads, more revenue! It’ll enrage people, divide people, get them to vote for the worst candidates, like Trump.

Tech companies have ruined and continue to ruin the world and right bros are full on aiming to end it for all of us so that they can live in some utopia whole the rest of us are dead or suffering

Sounds super conspiratorial? Thiel, Musk, as a few good examples

Aaaah, such a beautiful fantasy

Too bad that reality is that it may very well delete everything and post your private home made porn collection online because whoopsie

Because the 99.something% of the world that aren’t psychopaths don’t mind being ruled by psychopaths

If they can still repair it I guess more drones are needed

Fuck Amazon

Battlefield on PlayStation, hands down

Played 2, 3, 4, 1 (don’t ask, I didn’t make the numbering) and 5 to death on a wide variety of play Station models. Would log some average of 10 hours per week, every week, for since BF2 started and BF5 ended

Imagine if humanity would spend all this energy and effort into things that would actually benefit humanity world wide. Medicine and medical personnel, food research and production, education, housing, care for the elderly…

Oh man, this world could be so nice…

Microsoft is doing this ONLY because they finally recognized that Linux surpassed them flying on the one thing they were king: games

Microsoft doesn’t give a single shit about end users, never had. It always had the goal of becoming the dominant ayer, then get a monopoly, and then doing absolutely nothing anymore until users complain too much. This has been their work ethos since it’s inception and if you believe otherwise I have a bridge to sell you.

You mean that they can simply annex it without first ng a shot.

This is basically just a civil type of invasion of the province

During Covid there was this toktok(??) trend to lick food and put it back on the shelves in stores

People were jailed for that, iirc, because it was tampering with food. Rightfully so, if you ask me. If I get sick from bacterias.on your body, it might potentially even kill me. You think that is okay? There is a good reason why we are so careful with food, not to mention that it’s just fucking disrespectful and gross.

Because?

Ooohhhh revolutionary battery article #15592508

I’m sure this one won’t be bullshit and will come into production tomorrow, right?

Seconded, I hate that every file is all lowercase but my home directory if filled with Downloads, Videos, Documents, etc…

Oh snap!

So is there a socket container for this? Wi wouldn’t mind wasting some hacker assholes time with this

I had an HP laser printer pre 2000, the thing was built like a tank and just always worked
