Historically accurate rule

Jump

  • Historical inaccuracy only matters when it's non-whites or wamen

    • Apple limits third-party browser engine work to EU devices

    Jump

  • At least third party launchers are a thing on Android.

    Though that isn't an excuse for Google's behaviour.

    • New Teslas might lose Steam

    Jump

  • Perhaps not exclusively so, but it could've convinced some to choose a Tesla over other EV's.

    I guess Musk hadn't yet fired enough people after closing their entire charging station division.

    • Stardew creator won't rush Haunted Chocolatier: "better to have a good delayed game than a bad game on time"

    Jump

  • The solo dev made a successful game, he's probably set for a long time and can afford to take all the time he wants.

    Larger companies have, unfortunately, shareholders breathing down their necks.

  • They may not be referring to the bottom pic

    • Jeff Bezos revealed his secret to Amazon’s success 25 years ago: ‘I asked everyone around here to wake up terrified every morning, their sheets drenched in sweat’

    Jump

  • I've heard they must maximise value by law, it seems that was wrong. If that's not literally the law, then that's a relief to hear.

    Either way, the line must go up. Can't continuously deliver a good service: if growth starts flatlining it is made more predatory.

    Jump

  • If the CEO isn't ruthless in their pursuit of increasing shareholder value they will get booted and may even be breaking the law.

    Natural selection but you select for psychopathy.

    • Getting Sync's internal browser to default to Firefox?

    Jump

  • I have Firefox as my internal browser (probably because I disabled Chrome?). But add-ins don't work in the internal browser, only when links are opened externally.

    • Engine Bursts Into Flames on Boeing Plane With 468 Aboard

    Jump

  • Boeing is under increased public awareness, any issues get picked up and amplified by the news.

    • Samsung mocks Apple’s crushing iPad Pro ad with its own ‘UnCrush’ pitch

    Jump

  • Remember when they made fun of the charger being removed?

    Me neither.

    • Former Far-Right Hard-Liner Says Billionaires Are Using School Board Races to Sow Distrust in Public Education

    Jump

  • And push their values to impressionable children while they're at it.

    • The Rogue Prince of Persia devs clarify that a Ubisoft Connect account will not be mandatory even after early access. Anybody believes that ubisoft won't do it?

    Jump

  • Ah, I missed that.

    • Google is redesigning its search engine — and it’s AI all the way down

    Jump

  • It may summarise Wikipedia articles in your search results, though you can turn that off.

    Jump

  • Did Steam offer refunds to those who had already played Helldivers? I don't believe so.

    They only offered refunds to pre orders.

    • Russia finds vast oil and gas reserves in British Antarctic territory

    Jump

  • The Soviet Union was – claimed to be – communist. That is not the case for Russia.

    Much like China now has incorporated many capitalist systems.

    • Poland to scrutinize digital game platforms like Steam and PSN on suspicion of anti-competitive practices

    Jump

  • Because any competition exists means anticompetitive behaviour doesn't exist... Right?

    Jump

  • I'm pretty sure you're right.

    I try to fill it in where I can, I may have come off more dismissive than I meant and should've elaborated.

    • Microsoft Word just fixed its default paste option

    Jump

  • I made an autohotkey ctrl+shift+v script, no need to worry about which apps do and don't support it.
