i hate peter thiel but i also hate nvidia and tesla so i hope this ends out somehow being bad for everyone

now that’s a clickbaity title if i ever saw one

i don’t know if the current solution of sending a photo of a physical ID together with a selfie to facebook is any better in terms of control or privacy. while at the same time i believe more places will ask to ID you when a digital ID happens in a given country

and i don’t think it’s an “if” either. we do have reasons to ID people irl too and the more life happens online the more those reasons also appear online. the only thing to me that is realistic is to work to have those solutions implemented the right way with as little possibilities for surveillance as possible. otherwise we just keep sending selfies and pictures of IDs around forever

this may be a me problem but FH5 really didn’t do much for me. every game needing to be a forever game with unlimited constantly renewing stuff to do kinda sucks the fun out of single player games

and i don’t think this will be that much different in that regard even if japan sounds cool

of course he is not. but the question is a rhetoric one. there to lay emphasis on the point that this is messed up and the wrong people are the ones who are laid off.

the thing while yes, inflation will make things more expensive, the more expensive things become the less folks will just spend on random entertainment. they will have to use their money more deliberately and frugally.

and the problem with games are that there are many free and cheaper alternatives. if you wanna game you can just spend less and still game and have fun.

if you wanna go to the cinema it pretty much costs what it costs so you might go less often or buy less popcorn but you won’t skip one movie because it’s more expensive than another.

you can just skip full price AAA games. buy them on sales, play games you already have, play free to play games, emulate retro games, play indie games.

mainly wait for open signups for any tracker or make some friends and be super lucky that one is already on a closed tracker

yeah it sadly just seems to be a copy of the chrome one

finally firefox re-added tab groups, after removing them once already in the past >_>

bsky started with nine of its posts. wing shown publicly so when they flopped the switch (i think they also opened registration without invites) some people who had gotten used to their post being hidden from the rest of the net felt exposed and the devs added this settings.

while i do not think its a great setting i kinda get it. especially given that there are not (yet) private accounts so that’s the best they have

i doubt that because if they did it what reason would there be to not use one of the many chromium derivatives out there?

kinda, but zuck also went off the deep end

remember when social media CEOs weren’t like… this? i miss those days much more than some official game account taking a potshot back.
