    I honestly prefer Valve’s method. You as a consumer should be reading what you’re buying before you purchase anyway, and you can still use their refund system if you somehow missed the warning.

    Removing unfinished games from the storefront just increases the amount of lost media out there. These projects should be available for as long as possible simply for archival reasons.

    Mostly it’s their attitude to controversy.

    Brave has had several major issues over the past few years and they didn’t reverse course until press got bad enough for them to make a statement and try for damage control. This includes:

    • Replacing ads on websites with their own, and collecting that revenue

    • Inserting their own referral codes into auto complete when users navigate to Binance

    • Installing an extra VPN service on Windows machines without user consent

    • Sending DNS requests to the local ISP when in TOR mode effectively removing protection against spying

    On top of all that, it’s based on Chromium, which means that Google is in control of their upstream source code.

    Yeah, I know I’m approaching fossil age, but the pen itself was first made 75 years ago. I had always assumed that the hole in the cap was a change made much closer to the 50s than sometime within my lifetime.







  • Bluesky is…fine. Currently, it operates the way that I wish Twitter did. It lets you curate your feed, it shows the feed in chronological order, and finally and most importantly it has a critical mass of users so there is actual content there, rather than every 5th post complaining about how everyone is on another platform or not using Linux.

    Really, the only issue I have with it is that it is owned by a corporation. But like Twitter and Reddit, I am willing to abandon it for something else when it gets shittier.


  • With the US, there is also a culture problem to address. There are way too many people there that make 2A their whole personality.

    Australia had its share of gun nuts, but they were both a small minority and didn’t have a whole lifetime of indoctrination telling them to prepare for the day the government will come for their guns

    This makes perfect sense to me.

    At the start of your career, you want to be important enough that people will care about your opinions, which means getting invited to meetings where things are discussed.

    Stage 2, you’ve been there long enough and know how things work so you can offer input and help make decisions.

    Stage 3 is the point at which people will come to you for input outside of meetings because that’s easier. You just want to do your job and generally don’t care about decisions anymore unless they bring sweeping changes.
