   This topic is so hot that this comment will be impossible to find, but I really want to add my take because I so rarely see my specific concerns mentioned. Every single technological improvement that has helped "developers" in the

   There’s a bunch of conflicting information, for example your fact would be further clarified by saying: A) He was described by the father of the killer as having a mouthful of blood when police arrived (per bodycam footage). B) He stated he

   I think you missed the part of this where I talked about specifically not litigating this case on this forum. I was gesturing that the sentiment online is being reframed from one of the police handling of the situation (whatever the outco

   I'm a bit naive, but I don't think that's necessarily a requirement. It might be commonly held convention, and thus, an assumption, in Linux (and, broadly, UNIX) but I don't think it's true inside VAX or even Wind

   I'm wondering how it goes with a lot of social media actually. There were problems with the "algorithm"[0] before being intentionally gamed... but I feel like it's easier than ever to have an army of bots intentionally p

   exactly. we don’t have free speech in the UK. Why are you supporting my point?

   you might notice that we don’t ban people at the border for being critical of our politicians. Despite not banging our chests about free speech quite so much.

   Got it. Opinions are wrong if we have them, but you should be embraced with open arms if you have them about our country. https://dailycaller.com/2026/06/05/jd-vance-henry-nowak-kirp...

    thought the culture was “free speech” if you’re denied at the border for expressing speech online at some historic point (non-violent) then how can “respecting the culture” work? When I am in Saudi Arabia, I don’t wear shorts out of respect

    So when you told me that games use web tech on the backend, that was you getting rid of your ignorance? Ok, lets talk about the kinds of things we need. Networks have latency, so we need to smooth/correct for that. Our connections need

    I don’t care. Get a job in industry and see for yourself. I’m not going to break confidentially to sate your ignorance.

    Of the 7 AAA games I’ve been part of making, not a single one used HTTP (well, not as a primary driver of anything), HTML, CSS or anything that could be construed as a “web technology” so, what are you talking about please?

    theres a lot of pre-meetings, some major meetings (the ones you mentioned) and talks about getting legislation into other acts. The fact here is pretty simple: they have not indicated any support for the californian style legislation and th

    It's not a lost skill. Spinning up a binary and replicating actors across two computers that both have a connection string to a server is.. for all intents and purposes: easy. Where it falls down is when you start to have complex inter

    I think what I'm trying to explain is that we barely make it work by the skin of our teeth, and adding more requirements means fewer features. The extra point I made was that it's actually kind of costly to run these systems, and

    What you're saying is true for the californian legislation, but not the EU which is currently being drafted (in a different direction) - nor the direction of the authors article, and like I replied in a sibling response: it's not

    Yeah, but gamers in particular are against subscriptions and micro-transactions. Only one gets away with it: World of Warcraft.

    Community backlash will be fierce if it's not actually runnable. Ubisoft doesn't have the most stellar reputation for example (I don't work there anymore) so people look at things we do by accident as if they are intentionall

    Well, ok, you grasped at a few issues there that go off in different directions. The issue with "Stop Killing Games" is that the legislation doesn't currently look like anything, it's a broad appeal and the solution fo

    as a game dev myself, agreed. I’m guessing nobody here has ever actually tried to make games, let alone multiplayer ones. It’s not “oh just make it better” we’re usually already stretching the limits of what’s possible financially and time

    netbooks could run a browser and an office suite… barely. You’re asking for more than that based on the passage of time, but software got heavier faster than hardware kept up.
