A lot of people simply aren't as enamored with the shallow gameplay, even in the current version. I'm not surprised that they've sold a lot over the years since they've been putting out free content updates year after year to lure people into reinstalling it every six months or so.


You sound hurt. Did I hit a nerve? Are you part of Anita Sarkeesian circle or Sweet Baby Inc by any chance?

I don't need anyone to pick me, thank you very much.


Uh, do you think that the labor class is defined by utter poverty or something? The labor class is defined by having to work for their livelihood, which most of us still do, even if we have a mortgage or a nice 401(k) or whatever.

I hear they may be re-re-re-releasing WoW Classic again.

Very often evil people get taken down not by their most serious crimes but by smaller ones they did not think anyone would investigate.

Assume bad intent always with an evil entity until something sticks.

If anything is 0.1% likely to be a crime with these assholes, punish them into proving they did not do it. Do that thousands of times until we get lucky enough to inflict real harm on those monsters since they will never see punishment for their real crimes.


also another thing people forget is that merely 10 weeks after the first iphone launched, Apple cut the price by $200 in sept 2007. it then launched the 2nd gen iphone (iphone 3d) at an even lower price the next year due to carrier subsidies.

I think I'll stick with my pros. Definitely prefer the rubber tips for ear comfort over the plastic on the standard ones.

I think everything you just said is absolutely correct, and deliberately avoids answering my actual question. You're responding to my tone towards Arch, btw.

Why is Omarchy's AI-generated philosophy superior to NixOS' battle-tested architecture? Popularity is not an answer, that's the Keynesian beauty contest that macOS and Windows already won.


If it’s allowed to write any sort of scripts, it will find a way to execute arbitrary code. If it’s got access to any form of internet connection it will find a way to use that arbitrary code to do as it wishes with that connection. So much for sandboxes.

And that’s setting aside “sandboxes” that are just instruction-based restrictions on what executables may be called. Anything that isn’t a deterministic external filter _will_ be ignored at some point.


Banning drugs like alcohol imo is not a solution for any drug, people have their own reasons to consume them and the underlying cause should be resolved first

Evidence?

>simply use cheaper model for every Nth request.

That would trigger a full prefill (context recompute) every Nth request because cached tokens aren't interchangeable between models, and that would require way more compute than just staying on Astra.


Surely this problem is mostly solvable with ALPRs now. Every plate is attached to an owner and the insurance status can be checked. There's the situation where an uninsured driver is using someone elses car, but that's at least most uninsured drivers taken off the road.

I don’t necessarily think meta complaints about the HN crowd are productive, but…

Worker proportion of total company profits is at a historic low, but “unions bad” is often the most that the HN contingent can come up with. A lot of it is “I once knew a union guy who was lazy” kind of discourse. The consistency of the anti-union takes reads to me like a lot of well-internalized propaganda. Many people have bought the SV exceptionalism lie hook, line, and sinker.

Just because you’re a few more months away from homelessness than somebody working a different job doesn’t make you part of the capital class.


Sony's WF-C510s are $70. The APPs are one thing but the base airpods I never really found to be that amazing quality-wise.

The linkbud S's are comparable in pricing tho


> such a casual attitude towards violence.

How is protest violence?


Talking about unusual monitor aspect ratios, what I would really want is a 3840x2400 monitor. 1920x1200 is somewhat common and easy to find, but 2400p is only available on a few laptops.

Why 2400p? Because it is the LCM of 400, 480 and 600, so it would allow perfect integer rescaling of my favourite MS-DOS and early Windows games.


Peak state of technology in 2026

MCP when token budget is running low. The web interface is token frugal because it has to work with whatever I provide.

Am super salty about them killing support for the original Apple Watch Ultra. I, along with many others, bought it on launch day as both an Apple tragic / early adopter and to support what I thought was going to be an exciting new platform.

Instead we barely got a new feature over the 4 years since it launched, and now its been killed (from a software support pov) way ahead of schedule of the vast majority of other Apple devices.

For shame.


I don’t understand this attitude. There’s zero evidence that South Park had any effect on any political outcome of any kind. South Park is a comedy show and they make fun of things, liberals and progressives included. I thought people were supposed to speak truth, or is that only the case when they say what you want them to hear.

Well, this is disappointing.

I’m not sure what to tell you. With only a few exceptions, the shorthand follows a very predictable pattern if you already know the property names. IDE completions help too.

if that suits your taste, sure, even that's better.

let's not kid ourselves by saying western writers didn't/don't write the same things.

Excellent Movie. Wish it had more publicity.



He tried to extort them. Hosting providers have been selling Wordpress hosting for years without "giving back"

Does Wordpress "give back" to PHP and Linux?


Overwatch had so much promise. I could have seen an Arcane style series featuring characters. But no. I'm not expecting anything good from them again.
