Sure, but they also need to be on a platform that people actually use. I agree that there are lots of reasons against Discord, but my point is, they didn’t choose Discord because of a lack of intelligence.

It’s not a matter of intelligence, these people just have different priorities.

The political ideas you can find on Reddit are much more diverse. There is usually at least some pushback against some of the most deranged statements.

Does this game need client-side anticheat at all? It’s not PvP, so if you’re cheating, you just ruin the experience for yourself and maybe your teammates. But as far as I know, there are no rankings and not really any competition.

Pretty much the hardware version of && false

it happened again with the Intuitive Machines lander that landed on the moon last week

The Github UX is amazing if you ever had to use gitlab or bitbucket

A related thing that annoys me, if you start Steam manually, it takes ~30 seconds to launch and it will steal your focus multiple times during launch. So annoying!

I like using AntennaPod for podcasts and Spotify for music.

When the Apple car is released, the EU will invent 350 kW DC fast charging via USB-C 🙏

I wonder how often someone walks in and tells them about the mistake. Do the baristas have a standard response?

It’s not greed, companies will literally lose their trademarks if they don’t defend them

it really doesn’t

No, the whole market is run by one company. There is no point in having a blockchain.

How would more QA help?

I agree with your point on biodiversity and yes, climate change poses an existential threat to individual people, but not to civilization as a whole.

No, I’m certain that human civilization would survive.

I don’t think this kind of catastrophizing helps. Climate change certainly doesn’t “threaten the fundamental existence of organized human society”. Sure, we should do more about it and future generations would be better off if we were to lessen the impact, but it is not an existential threat.
