The first positive signal comes when you first boot the application, pitching a simple question: are you using this for gaming, or productivity? With this one choice, the app immediately reorients what it presents you with, making sure the settings that actually matter for you are front-and-centre.

Well, what if I want to do both? Selection anxiety will leave me deadlocked on this question for an hour while I look up what the difference means!

This isn't even parody. I know know several Matt Hunters.

Vile. Disgusting.

I feel so bad for the minority of people there. But the majority apparently, instead of seeing "fuck yeah, Kamala, she could be beacon of democracy and progress in the world" decided "nope, orange man hate people me hate so FUCK YOU OTHER PEOPLE".

It's so sad.

I mean, you can use custom search engines, but the only way to get them on android is to sync them over from a desktop install.

It's such a strange kludge, especially if you a) don't use desktop vivaldi or b) don't use sync. Maybe one day they'll add in the menu item or whatever. It's getting better but Android Vivaldi has been getting like one new feature a year it seems like.

I feel like some journalist got high as fuck with a dev, wrote out a fucking fever dream of... drivel and then the editors were like fuck it, Tim Sweeney pays us to post some hit pieces against Valve and this is all we got this month so we'll just run with this.

Ah, but at night is probably when you are more likely to actually hit a pedestrian. I wonder if the stats back up that intuition...

Edit: also, yes pop up headlights are way cooler.

Copyright of code doesn't work that way. Now if some idiot goes and uses that code in a game, yeah, they'd have a rough time in court.

If Nintendo thought there was infringement already, and wanted to prove it in court, there are means to securely prove it with redactions and NDA's and so forth as it would be considered trade secret.

Reddit is worse but they use puppet accounts so you can't easily tell.

I bet they're foreshadowing a large ban wave. Big scoop probably happening in the background. That's how "it's live" will be announced.

Oh, way to move the goal posts!

Basically - fuck this person, right?

The meme faces are backwards on this one.

Break up the mega corps. Enact user privacy-by-default laws. Market dominance via "free product" followed up by bait and switch tactics should be outlawed.
