Kinda glad I don’t live in Colorado anymore. Out of all the states caving to trump and ICE, Colorado has been the most disappointing (especially their governor). Mostly because they’ve been getting pretty progressive over the years but are now throwing it all away.
Ouch… I’m up to 800 games on steam and have probably only played half and only beaten 20% of those.
Honestly, I’m kinda down for that. Not for the sake of a new Internet, but for the sake of all the tech companies like Meta and Google that could just turn into absolutely nothing in an instant. Like the Thanos snap but for big tech.
Exactly. I couldn’t care less about Newsom as a person. And if literally any Democrat started fighting back I would support them. It’s such an easy strategy to win that I’m absolutely baffled by how cowardly Democratic politicians have been.
I heard a lot of people talking shit about him starting a meme coin and that it makes him just as corrupt as Trump. And I don’t think that’s entirely unfair or unjustified, but at the same time I feel like that’s the point. If the president can do it, why can’t a governor? If it’s wrong for one then it’s wrong for the other. If it’s no big deal then it’s no big deal for either one.
If you think what he’s doing is bad then do something about it. He’s not a great person and I personally do not like him, but he’s making a good point and basically saying “come at me bro” because he wants them to fight back so he can throw it back at them.
I’m not saying that making a meme coin is right when “my guy” does it. I’m saying it should be wrong across the board and that’s the point he’s trying to make.

Neat
Fantastic game but lemme tell ya, the controls for that game did not age well. I’ve tried to go back and play it, even on an emulator where I can customize the controls, and it is baffling how unintuitive the controls are on modern controllers. It worked when the N64 controller was considered good. But with how controllers have evolved it’s basically unplayable no matter how it’s configured.
It will literally never happen, but a remaster would be sick.
Hey! I almost forgot about this when I left Reddit. I was so excited to see it come to fruition some day. I’d love to beta test but I’ve moved to an office job since then so I probably won’t be able to help much.
Damn I didn’t even know. That’s pretty dumb on their part as they could have been a bigger competitor. I’m sure they made the decision before Spotify took off as hard as it did.
Everyone always gave me shit for sticking with Pandora. It can basically do all the shit that Spotify can these days albeit a little different. You can even make your own playlists and listen offline if you have premium. It has a more limited library but it’s barely noticeable except maybe once or twice a year I can’t find a song I wanna listen to. It’s simpler and cheaper than Spotify with most of the same features. My favorite part is that I can literally pick any song I want and it will just continue playing after it’s over with similar songs. I’ve discovered so much music I would have never tried if it hadn’t shown up. And so far it hasn’t been overrun by AI slop like Spotify. Sure they pay artists less compared to competitors but at least they aren’t just straight up trying to replace them.
I’m not saying Pandora is objectively better. I’m just saying Spotify is falling into the world of enshittification and there are many alternatives out there. You could even just buy music and support artists directly like we used to.
I never trusted Honey to begin with but this goes far deeper than I ever expected. I always wondered “yeah, but where do they get their money?” I always figured it was just a way to take people’s data and sell it to data brokers (which they probably also do, let’s be honest) but this is just blatant fraud. Stealing affiliate money from links and having companies pay them to purposefully give out worse coupon codes is just devious through and through. It’s basically free money and everybody else, whether influencer or consumer, get fucked over in the process.
Isn’t a subscription on a free platform just donating with extra steps? Either way it’s optional but with one of the options you get perks. I’m not discounting the obviously shady things they are doing, I’m just pointing out that they’re basically the same thing from the perspective of the consumer but you get bonus shit.
It’s really starting to sound less like “America first” and more like “America only.” Pissing off the rest of the world isn’t a very good business strategy coming from a guy that’s supposedly good at business.
Just playing devil’s advocate here, but they have to make money somehow, right? It’s either this or advertisements. And I fucking hate advertisements. I say the only way they could truly drop the ball is if they opt for both subscriptions and advertisements. The only other option is donations. And I honestly can’t see that as a viable strategy for something like Bluesky.
“Me and the goth that gave me my first prostate orgasm.”
Just in case it wasn’t obvious. :)
They’ve literally never had any consequences for their actions. Without consequences you get shit like this. It’s not rocket surgery.
I don’t upload YouTube videos so I’m unsure about the logistics of settings for videos. Do you get these options on videos already uploaded or is this only an option when first uploaded? Is this for the whole channel or video specific? Just curious how it works. Regardless if they ever decide to turn it on by default that would mean YouTubers would have to go through hundreds of videos and turn it off individually unless it’s a channel wide setting kinda thing.
Edit: Just noticed it’s under channel settings so I guess that’s a good thing. If it was video specific that would be just plain evil. I guess I shouldn’t give them ideas…
War is peace.
