I think that they failed in the same way that I failed to run the London marathon when I was 6.

That would be why they put communist in quotes.

I don’t think that it’s the same because Steam and Epic aren’t the only store available to PC users. They haven’t decided that games aren’t available on disc and there are one or two options where you can purchase DRM free games.

This is Sony, the owner of the platform and the only store available, that is making a decision that will result in players never being able to buy a DRM free game. Not only that but players will only be able to buy games from them unless they intend on allowing other stores onto the platform.

Microsoft is as bad. As our IT admin, I have about 300 different ways to launch Copilot.

The most annoying was when they changed it so that going to office.com went to a Copilot chat window instead of allowing me to select the MS Office apps such as SharePoint and OneDrive.

Bloody Notepad has a Copilot button now!

I think that we all knew that didn’t we?

It’s simply not possible to do that. It’s not Monopoly where a single entity owns the rights to it. People can just create a new game body or even play without one.

‘Our game’ lmfao Nobody owns football.

It depends upon how you interpret ‘our’ as it’s pretty vague. It means ‘belonging to us’ but I think that ‘us’ literally means everyone in the world except FIFA in this context.

Well, I don’t think that they’ll be acting on the interests of the United States as such.

Except that if the ICC issues arrest warrants for US officials, then any country that is subject to the court, is now obligated to arrest those people if they ever set foot in those countries.

That’s already failed because I’m pretty sure that several countries have said that they won’t arrest Netanyahu.

I did do it a while ago with my system when I managed the remote access myself and remember it to be a bit of a faff.

I moved Internet providers and the new one didn’t have inbound traffic enabled so it stopped working. Rather than go through the hassle of contacting support to allow incoming traffic I signed up for Nabu Casa. It was a lot easier than setting up the security myself and it made Alexa integration trivial.

So if an annual or monthly fee is an option then it’s worth considering.

I think that Turkey’s obvious response is to recognise the Palestinian genocide.

Same here. For a trial period I kept the ST hub but as soon as was happy with home assistant the ST went.

You’re right. It often comes from the previous game but if that game doesn’t do well then the chances of there being another are greatly reduced.

You can, for example, give one an instruction to do something. After it has done it, you ask the other (verbal) hemisphere why they just did that, and they immediately make up a plausible-sounding explanation despite the scientists knowing it’s not the actual reason.

Sounds like AI got something right then.

It should be illegal to buy a company on loan and transfer that debt to the company. You should be required to get your money back via dividends or by building the company up and reselling it.

It’s only meaningless if you’re pedantic.

It obviously means the greatest of all time so far because at the time you make the statement you cannot judge what hasn’t happened yet.

It gets more complicated when you’re saying it about a company or game in the past but I still think that it has meaning. It could mean that at the time, they were the greatest of all time (up until that point in time) but it could also mean that at this point in time that past version of EA was the greatest of all time (up until now, which is beyond the time that that version of EA existed).

Well, they said that half struggled to afford it. They didn’t mention how many didn’t have a chance of affording it.

You have to fuck with other connected people then it becomes a game of top trumps.

For example, I’m sure that Sam Bankman-Fried wouldn’t have been convicted had he only defrauded ordinary people.

There seems to be a trend in journalism to avoid the word “and” and replace it with commas. I hate it.

This is much more readable:

MP who helps shape AI and auto policy owns Palantir and Tesla stock

They’d have taken a certain level of loss into consideration when they made the change.

They definitely wouldn’t want to break even on profits though.
