Steam is a monopoly surely, but it's a rare case, or maybe the only case, where it became a monopoly both because it is actually a good service that is not enshittified, and because the competitors kept shooting themselves in the foot.

I guess that's what you get when you don't have any obligation to shareholders.

To be fair, the only people criticising his yachts are some smartasses over Lemmy and Reddit thinking they're on a moral high ground by doing so, when everyone else doesn't care

If you read this article you would know that these are quotes from the Half Life 20 year anniversary documentary released a few weeks ago.

Finally! One of the most requested (and complained about the lack of) features from tech circles and even outside of those, but leave it to Lemmy users to be comically negative about it.

You people are miserable

The issue is that the Venn diagram of people interested in vikings/odinism and racists bigots is almost just a circle

It's a case of The People's Front of Judea throwing sticks at the Judean People's Front

I never listen to podcasts and yet Spotify shoves them in my face every time I open the app. Spotify also constantly resets my quality preferences back to auto (which is just low quality with another name). Every time I want to shuffle a playlist, Spotify sneaks in songs they think I might like as the first shuffle option. So I do believe they'll be forcing this AI slop front and center everywhere and it won't be as simple as not listening to it.

From the top of my head, you need to keep those apps open in the foreground if you want to sync your photos/files, while iCloud does it automatically on the background for you, showing that iCloud has an unfair advantage over the rest.

I know that very well, my point is that a title like that is slightly misleading because it seems there's a new hero to play around in normal game modes, when in reality is just a very early on concept of a hero for testing in a specific mode. That's all.

I think it's slightly misleading saying they've added a new hero on the title, when in reality they've just added a very very pre alpha stage hero to the hero labs, a mode made for people to test and give feedback on hero concepts

For the moment, the Trapper placeholder is literally Pocket but with a different hair and suitcase. Magician, another hero labs hero, has the same half animated model as Seven. There are two other heros there that are quick sketches of the models from when Deadlock was a sci-fi game
