  • And like every other DRM, it's just going to be something that the people who bought the game and play it unaltered will be forced to deal with in one way or another... while those who modify the game, emulate or pirate it, won't. I love DRMs. Nothing like feeling like a sucker for actually buying the game and not cracking it.

  • All hail the great PenguinCoder! 🐧

  • It's kind of disgusting, honestly. NOT THE SURGERY! No! This, I'm super happy it can be done and I'm really happy for you (hell, I might even do it for myself someday 👀)* No, it's the fact that this life changing and sometimes, life saving surgery has to be approved by a third party who's sole purpose is profit... it's just awful.

    Anyway. Fuck yeah, you go girl! Hope everything goes smoothly for you! Keep us posted! 🩷🩵🤍

  • Yeah, personally, I'd recommend to keep in mind that this probably won't be as much of a GTA 6 as much as it'll be just GTA Online 2...

  • It's Apple we're talking about, I'm being realistic. Plus, that would require two OSes on the device. iPadOS is not really another OS, just iOS for larger devices.

  • Honestly, some kind of dock that would turn iOS into iPadOS on a display sounds kinda neat.

  • That Macbook was too ahead of its time... 12 inches was such a good size. It was so thin, too. Wish they'd make a MacBook SE or some sort and bring it back with an M1 or M2 chip in it.

  • I wonder how they're going to announce it at their keynote. Because Apple was strong armed into doing this they didn't want to. At all. They kicked and screamed the whole way but they did comply.

    So. Will they present it as an evolution like they almost invented the thing? Will they be passive aggressive about it? Or will they just say nothing about it.

    I'm also expecting Apple to basically use the worst USB-C standard possible, which, just like Lightning, will basically be USB 2 in terms of speeds and so on. At least on the non-pro models. :/

  • Yup. We voted for him in the second turn of the elections because, it was either that or facism... and we got facism-lite (less and less lite, with each passing day) laying the ground work and colluding with Le Pen and her cronies. Fucking wonderful.

  • Why does my country keeps doing shit like this! I wasn't even aware of that one, what the hell! ;-;

  • Oh my god this comment section is annoying…

    Yes, we get it! It’s a Chromium fork!

    Chrome bad, Firefox good, we know.

    And there are plenty of reasons as to why it’s a bad thing but come on, probably more than half of the comments is just this. There’s a lot more to it.

    I don’t use Arc, because the whole company gives me “bullshit vibes”. The whole startup thing with big ideas and bright colors… and no concrete monetisation plan… I don’t know. I’ve seen too much of that and I can’t trust it. That and the whole “wanting to integrate AI@ just raises the “startup bullshit” meter even more for me.

    However. I’m keeping an eye on it, and I did got to try it during its invite phase and, it sure is something else. This is not just another Chromium fork. It does indeed have big ideas about UI and UX design and challenges the way we do things when browsing the web. It’s trying to be something new and innovative. I respect that.

    Web browsers have been feeling the same for years and years. To the average user, there’s no fundamental difference between Chrome, Firefox, Brave, Edge, or Safari, other than: “They look slightly different ” and “This one looks like a crypto bullshit scam”. They will instantly notice the difference with Arc. It looks actually different and it feels different, because it is.

  • Honestly, after this, and hearing some of his recent interviews: I am genuinely convinced that not only is Elon Musk not a genius, but he possess subpar intelligence. You can’t convince me otherwise, I am 100% convinced that the dude is just a clinical moron.

    There has been a meme comparing Elon Musk to Wheatley from Portal 2 being put in charge of the whole Aperture Science center and it immediately going to shit, because this robot was literally purposely designed to be a moron… It keeps on getting truer.

    To me, he is like Trump, people thinking the dude is a genius, and he’s constantly playing 4D chess, but over time, everything ends up proving that the simplest theory is the correct one, the dude is just a fucking idiot. A man so profoundly stupid at their core that people had to convince themselves, he actually was a secret genius for their nonsense to make sense, like believing that Jar Jar Binks was secretly a mastermind Sith Lord.

    If there ever was a perfect demonstration of wealth not equating intelligence, or even merit, the absolute inexistence of meritocracy, this might be it.

  • I remember the conspiracy theory that was going on in the right wing circles of the internet a few years ago, where people like Tim Pool were saying that the blue checkmark was an attempt from Twitter to create a "privileged class on Twitter"...

    All of those people are the ones that Elon's been pandering so hard to and look at Twitter now.

    Why is it with these people, that them who cry wolf so often, also turns out to be the wolves so often?

  • The size of that french flag, jesus christ... streamers are at it again....

  • Well, fuck you and your shitty game then. Wasn't interested in the first place, but this kills any possibility of that ever changing.

  • I hate summer and can't stand heat. It's simple: It's cold? Can always add more layers of clothes. It's hot? What am I gonna do once I'm out of clothing layers and it's still too hot, remove my sweating skin?

  • The entirety of the French language.
