You know books haven’t been innovating graphics for centuries. It’s scary how many people have been using old books for recreational use. How can newer book publishers compete?

Did the squirrel make it out OK?

There are several things I was doing in X-Org that I really don’t have the capacity to figure out in Wayland. One of them was customizing touch pad shortcuts, I used to like having 3 figure swipe commands that worked like keyboard shortcuts. The other was my KVM programs like Barrier seems unable to work in Wayland.

I hope for simple solutions to these problems in the future.

This was honestly my last straw with AEW. I had felt for awhile that the variety early AEW had (Young Bucks indie, Lucha bros Lucha Libre, Omega DDT/NJPW influence, Mox’s hardcore, Jericho/Cody’s WWE influence) was done with a single unified vision, with everyone putting ego’s aside to make something bigger then the sum of it’s parts. An AEW roster that was so respectful that Brodie Lee’s illness was never leaked to the press.

I honestly can’t say that the reactionary AEW has me gripped like the early AEW that was interested in long form storytelling. And one with a roster so divided you can feel dissension within the roster. I don’t want backstage drama to be the basis of ongoing storytelling, that’s not an interesting story. I want to see the show working like a well oiled machine. It honestly makes me uncomfortable watching AEW as it is currently.

I thought AEW purpose was to change the wrestling industry not succumb to it.

It is misleading. It is 30% of the entire revenue of the game. And it is objective whether Valve deserves 30% of that revenue. It’s also true that games aren’t locked to the Steam platform and can absolutely make money outside of Valve’s influence. History has shown though that it is less profitable then being inside the Steam ecosystem.

The efficiency is doing it so effectively that on an open platform competitors can create there own store, pay for AAA games to appear on their store, take the smallest of pay cuts, pass it on to the consumer, and still have customers prefer to pay more to be in the Steam ecosystem. I’m against monopolies but Valve’s is absolutely efficient.

That has always been up in the air, certain functions of the building and it’s link to the building has been designated a secret. It’s not like the building itself is inconspicuous though.

I hope we get some sort of intervention here but I doubt it.

Electric fires are no joke. I’m glad no one is hurt and that this might open up discussions about how to avoid future incidents.

Looks like it been fixed up with a bit of trickery It’s a shame as it didn’t leave in that state it’s just the journey wasn’t particularly kind to it.

Hasn’t this been a bit of a running trend now? I’m sure I’m having Déjà vu from it.

I do want to read articles that change my beliefs and I’m willing to listen to any take that goes against the wider narrative, but nothing that was said here really challenges anything being said on most tech news sites.

Yeah news sites might not always have full understanding of the semantics but the wider piont of Google’s Manifest V3 restricting uBlock Origin capabilties and not offering an adequate solution is still very valid.

Looks like it’s been rejected

It’s sideways for me too.

They recently got a new CEO a month ago because Linus the owner realized he was unfit for that purpose. It should have been dealt with years ago but I wonder if some benefit of the doubt can be given here seeing as the company was in a state of transition and probably would of cleaned up the work culture in private.

Or not because Linus still owns the company and the buck stops at the absolute top. He put his friend in high positions so it would cause a uncomfortable position when someone who wasn’t his friend lower down the ladder were to speak out. He has also consistently showed toxic masculinity in the way he acts and has spread it within the fabric in the company,

I have no strong opinion one way or another, but please tell me if I’m being unfair here on either side here. I think the company can still clean itself up and has shown actions before it was publicly known to address it, and I also think the company has misogyny in it’s corporate structure and DNA which will constantly be problematic.

It’s been repeatedly proven that large companies get a impenetrable wall of armour based on fear of speaking out due to fear of retribution or breaking an important connection. Once that wall is broken it allows grievances to finally pass though.

It’s a very iconic building, I wish something better was done with it then a expensive shopping center but I’m also happy it wasn’t demolished altogether either.

I can’t honestly see how any other company can single-handedly stop Google if they go though with this. Google has the ability to strong arm this proposal by having Youtube and Google search dependent on Web Environment Integrity. There are enough alternative to web search but I can’t see how anyone can fight Google’s dominance in video hosting to stop them.

You would almost have to have every other major website intentionally break on Chrome to even the playing field, and if Google still don’t back down you are left with a divided internet.

People don’t and that’s OK because there’s enough people who does care to fragment off and start something new. That’s the whole point of the internet. The reason Reddit got as big as it did was because it had a wide enough net to attract everyone, now they are deciding to focus on just the ones that matter to them and that allows an alternative to exist.

I’ve made this the top picture, I hope you don’t mind. If you do let me know and I’ll take it down.
