Yeah, I think you’re looking for Monica at this point.

it’s a bunch of loose files, basically. If you wanted it actively hosted, you’d just need to put them into a web server, basically.

Hey valve, so, Uhr… Funny thing… I’m actually… Uh
… kinda dead

Well, if you’re stupid enough to tell valve about the death that is

Oy! Before you spew out shit that is frankly disgusting in the context of what happened in Uvalde, maybe think for a split-second about what you’re about to say, eh?

Besides, if a whole nation continues to fail it’s “tired, poor, it’s huddled masses yearning to breathe free”, blaming parents for just not parenting enough is misguided at best and delusional at worst. Do you think parents just don’t give a fuck when their children suffer? Do you think parents will just let their kids down and let them fall into the void that results in school shooters? No. No, they will not. But there is only so much a parent can do if the entire rest of society doesn’t give the slightest of fucks. You don’t have kids, have you?

Yes! Exactly! A comparison between two things based on form factor is not useful! My original point

But by that logic, there is less games on my WiFi router than on the Xbox. Same form factor after all.

Was that a comparison between Nintendo switch and steamdeck because “they have the same form factor” is not fitting, which I tried to illustrate with my router to Xbox comparison!

See, your “argument” so far has been “you’re wrong” without ever answering anything or engaging on anything. I repeat my question: what is a “form factor” in your mind? Because yes, to me a “form factor” is exactly that: size, shape, dimensions. Wikipedia confirmed my definition. You just keep telling me how ridiculous I’m apparently being without ever telling me why…

That’s what media tried to sell as “quiet quitting” here as well. They used the English term instead of the German one to make it appear as something new, cursing “gen Z” for not wanting to do overtime and such (which in reality is not a gen Z, but a Baby boomer thing here in Germany) which came out of fucking nowhere.

On the other side, someone who’s gotten into a “Stille Kündigung” mindset might not even quit. They’ll just withdraw to a point where the barely meet the minimum requirements for their job, become passive and inflexible. It’s usually seen as the ultimate consequence when employers disappoint someone too often and seen as something unrecoverable and to be avoided.

You should read up on the Non-Disney version of Peter Pan and why the kids never grew up before you agree to that.

Do a subnet router running on Debian in a data center with an ATX board and my gaming PC have the same form factor?

I beg to differ.

Form factor is a hardware design aspect that defines and prescribes the size, shape, and other physical specifications of components, particularly in electronics.[1][2] A form factor may represent a broad class of similarly sized components, or it may prescribe a specific standard. It may also define an entire system, as in a computer form factor.

What do you think of as “form factor”?

I mean, I wouldn’t buy into a decade old ecosystem either if I hadn’t already. But by that logic, there is less games on my WiFi router than on the Xbox. Same form factor after all.

Isn’t that comparison asinine? I mean… Yeah, no shit. One is a handheld PC and the other isn’t.

I don’t think it’s bosses actually. I think this is the runaway click bait machine of “business outlets” trying to recapture the unexpected success of the whole “quiet quitting” thing they celebrated themselves for reinventing. “Stille Kündigung” is the literal translation for quiet quitting in German and it has been around for years, referring to an employee who has already decided that they wanna quit and mentally cut all ties to their jobs but haven’t acted on this yet. But even in Germany, the business media kept yapping about 'quiet quitting ’ as if it was something new and something to be afraid of…

The bug was well documented and we own the git platform it was written on, but hey, we ain’t got time for that. Too busy implementing new menus that look worse and do less than the old ones so we have to keep the old ones around anyway.

Furthermore, I don’t trust Microsoft to not do a gigantic oopsie and introduce a bug that emails screenshots of porn websites I visited to my Mum or some shit. Their QC is abhorrent.

I got the impression that “removing” means removing before it was really implemented. Like, it was planned and decided upon, but it wasn’t ready. He checked the license and went “nope, not having it” and scrapped the feature. It doesn’t truly become clear in the text, of course, but that’s how I read this.

luckily, most games are easily modded: Just put a 1-2 frames black video file where the brand logos used to be. Done.

oh, it was the racing game? I must have gone through the text too quickly then. Yet, if we’re pragmatic: How many people would have really enjoyed that game (which wasn’t stellar to begin with) more with properly encoded surround sound, and how many would have enjoyed it a tad less because of the annoying logo spam on startup? I don’t think Surround-Sound-enjoyers were the target audience for that one.

You need to toake into account that we’re talking about a Kirby game here, which are all 2/2.5/sometimes 3D platformers. So The real effect of Dolby in such a thing would have been close to zero.
