How does any empire crumble? It's always from within.

Icarus is about to realise that the wax wings melt...

It's such a dumb name, that it makes me genuinely furious there there are people out there who have lied and impostered their way into positions where they can make such decisions, while having absolutely no clue at all what they're even doing in the building.

Apple intelligence makes sense, because the abbreviation is AI. Pretty smart and simple if you think about it.

But Copilot is the kind of name Apple would choose for its product. Things like centre stage, launchpad, facetime... They're all very descriptive and cool sounding names of their software products. Copilot is a great name that they're throwing away along with Cortana because their crappy practices are crappy.

Yes exactly. A large number of their older titles exist on other platforms like the Switch and of course, the PC, where gamepass lets people play those titles for a very affordable price.

All the more reason then to make games like Starfield and Halo infinite the absolute best games they could be

Halo Infinite - failed
Starfield - failed
Forza Motorsport - terrible launch
Redfall - failed

Out of curiosity, I googled exclusives for Xbox series exclusives. They've got things like Forza Horizon 5, sunset overdrive and Ori. Like, sure, but you can't say proudly that your console is being held aloft by 4+ year old titles when the competition is releasing banger after banger!

They just missed the mark. You can spend billions on R&D and marketing for a new console, billions on buying up game studios to make new games, but if your games suck on launch, people won't play on your console.

What XBox has done this generation is borderline suicide.

Trump promised he won't open the Epstein files if he gets re-elected. Suddenly Musk started throwing money at him and breaking any rule to censor the opposition party and smear them.

This has little to do with the lying orange Turd. Musk cares about his own pedo past and is desperate to not have that info leak out.

Fair point, makes sense. Thanks!

Why are they still saying "suspected" shooter?

How much evidence does one need before they can definitely say something?

He wants the presidency to exonerate himself. That's it. He knows he's going to prison if he loses the election.

He has zero care or motivation to further the country once he's in power. He wants to save his own ass and his properties.

From this link:

"I do not want the administrative workload that comes with donations. I do not want the project to become in need of funding in any way: no dedicated home page + no forum = no cost = no need for financial support. I want to be free to move on to something else if ever I get tired of working on these projects (no donations = no expectations).

Have a thought for the maintainers of the various lists. These lists are everything. I can not emphasize this enough."

While the developer doesn't accept donations, they do encourage donating to the people maintaining the block lists. I've contributed in the past and would happily keep doing so.

It would be a shame if the devs maintaining the block lists stop doing what they're doing because it's not sustainable enough for them.

If you're implying Trump should lead America again, you're literally insane. Anyone who believes that man should be let near a position of power - let alone the highest office in the US - is either ignorant or has vested interest in the decision.

If you're convinced that what's happening in Palestine is par for the course, and that Israel's actions are justified, and that the people protesting around the globe for Palestine are being over dramatic, you're ignorant, blind and truly deluded, or, again, you've some personal bias towards Israel which fails to allow you to accept reality.

If you don't agree with both of the above statements, then you cannot disagree with my comment. I said Trump cannot win because he isn't fit for office. I also implied that Biden is tarnished by the Israel conflict to be seen in a positive light by his voters. If the Dems want the win, they can't possibly go into an election with a president who is actively leaning into his "Genocide Joe" moniker. They need another candidate.

With protests as rife as they are across the world, and sentiment against Netenyahu at its lowest as he begins murdering innocent people in Rafah (and crossing Biden's own red line as well as many nations red lines in the process), the last thing Biden, already dubbed genocide Joe, had to do was throw his full weight behind Israel and drag the US down with him.

We all know that Trump will be disastrous for the US, and a self-proclaimed dictator with followers who literally worship him as the Messiah will turn the US into a nation akin to what we've been deriding and attacking for decades. Trump cannot win, of course he can't. But to expect voters to back Biden when he's this brazenly in support of a genocide is delusional.

If dems want to win the vote, they MUST front a new candidate. Biden simply has too much blood on his hands this time. Dem voters will most likely abstain, and if not, then they'll split the Dem vote. Tell Biden to sit down and let someone else run.
