Will there be an old app and new app available both to US residents? I don't see how that'd help them reach any of their stated goals, as I'd expect overwhelming majority of users to a) simply not care and stay, b) prefer the

Compiz. Beryl. Compiz Fusion. Unlocks some fun memories. Also this video has some 6 million views now: https://youtu.be/xC5uEe5OzNQ?si=GOvwOTHV-RVQnxWv . I remember watching it and being awed by the cube effect.

I think that was the point they made. If AI enables regular folks to make programs, even if the worst quality shovelware, there should’ve been an explosion in quantity. All the programs that people couldn’t made, they would start making the

Not sure if VSCodium and others can use all the extensions, especially Microsoft ones like Copilot. I remember setting up something like that once and had to do a lot of fiddling to be able to use all the extensions I wanted. Gave up on it

I dislike "$x is dead" as much if not more as you do, and I'm sure it works fine as something doesn't need to be the most popular choice to be working. With that being said, just a quick look at, for example Stack Overfl

There was a time around ST2 when it felt like everyone was using it and it could've become The Editor, then something happened and it's been left in the dust. I wasn't even aware but apparently even fourth version of ST was r

Steam already has the ability to block certain countries and regions from buying specific products. IIRC many of the adult games were already banned in the German region for example. If it was about the laws, at worst Valve could block Aust

I wonder what are the odds of Visa being succesfully sued for processing payments to such a huge brand like Steam. Steam has its virtual wallet and marketplace as well, so Visa is twice removed from where the money will actually go once it

Payment processor is the infrastructure, not the merchant itself. They neither make cakes nor eat them. Bigger problem is that for most real world problems who is Nazi and who is Jewish depends on who you ask. Sucks to be Jewish in a Nazi w

You say that, next thing you know this guy installs bsnes on a Raspberry Pi going on a rampage on innocent Goombas from an illegal ROM of Super Mario World. What then? He’s clearly a dangerous maniac and a threat to the society. That’s why

I personally find HDR as one of the most impactful recent display tech, but there are plenty of hoops to jump through before you get to that experience. You need a real HDR display (800 nits+), FALD or OLED for contrast, some calibration, a

I agree with you, but this particular one seems to be a feature you can toggle off. It's a tradeoff between that said freedom and privacy.

Funny that the future Cyberpunk 2077 envisions is IMHO optimistic about AI. Unlike ours, in that world AI has already presented itself as a threat, and worst of them were somewhat successfully contained behind Blackwall. Perhaps because of

Yet almost all US companies where users can publish stuff operate in EU just as well. Seems like the upside of the market size outweights the downside of risks.
