@TickleTexts @kangminlee The cheesesteak burrito is better than the bbq at Buc-ee’s. I get it like once every couple of weeks. The bbq there is mid af.

@kangminlee Just stop. You’re not a FIFA visitor! And, WTF is a cheesestea? It’s not a Buc-ees item! Brisket is their king product. Not Philly trash

@systemdesignone Because a lot of companies use Microsoft stack for everything else. Teams, Outlook, Sharepoint, Entra, etc are a stranglehold.

@DesignLvLUp They didn’t even try though. Epic’s storefront is and always has been absolute trash. Nobody even knew Amazon had a storefront until news came out that it was shutting down.

Tries to beat them by launching many game marketplaces.
Fails and can't beat them
Yeah, they have a monopoly
They are going to keep lobbying to twist Valve's arm to be less consumer freidnly so they can get more money.

Consumer Competition Claims (CCC), through GameClaim, has launched a new class action against Valve in the Netherlands. The group claims Valve controls around 85% of the PC game market and uses rules that make it harder for developers to sell games cheaper on other stores. It also argues that Steam’s 30% cut on game sales is too high and shows anti-competitive behaviour. According to CCC, Dutch gamers have paid more than they should due to these practices, with total damages estimated at over €220 million since 2013.. The group says it will first try to reach a settlement with Valve. If that fails, the case could go to court and may take several years to resolve.

@Pirat_Nation Nothing is stopping a publisher from managing their own distribution or marketing. The comparison to Apple or Google is a false equivalency because Valve is not standing in anybody’s way at the OS-level. Competitors need to give a reason for customers to want to leave Steam.

@texasrunnerDFW All they need to do is add comment sections to listings.

If you invested $1000 in Zillow stock on this day in June of 2021, your investment today is worth ~$294
A 70% loss.
This is not a normal, healthy, or recovered real estate market—don’t let anyone gaslight you into thinking it is just because prices mostly held up

@mfranz_on A Raspberry Pi made sense several years ago when they were only $35, but that is no longer the case. For $200 you can get mini pc and not have to deal with any of the many annoyances that come with a Pi.

A Raspberry Pi with 16gb of ram costs like a laptop with 8gb of ram.
Is the ram the real difference or something else?

@nazzobetweeting Good luck enforcing it at Jerryworld. I know a couple of Bobs going to games and can't even pronounce the countries. They are going purely for vibes.

@plainionist @TheRajPriyam Not necessarily. Clankers want to use all of the context. So reduce probability of failure by limiting context. Good: example SQL queries made from views that only contain needed columns. Bad: same query but using underlying tables.

@DurnBig @jaubreyYT @beatmastermatt Saying that old people are gullible is not the same thing as saying you hate them.

NEW: The Trump-aligned org Citizens for Sanity is dropping a six-figure ad buy in the Texas Senate race. The ad is a 15 second clip of AI-generated James Talarico singing a "trans kids" rendition of “Favorite Things." Obtained first by @DailyCaller:

@JetSetGent @Acyn The chanting was before he was shown on the jumbotron.

@Acyn Meanwhile they are chanting “USA USA” inside 😝

Chants of “USA USA USA” erupt at Madison Square Garden with President Trump in attendance at game 3 of the NBA Finals.

@ThomasNuckles @AmanitaFugax The counting would need to be done in-person, with oversight from the county. No releasing records into the void. They come to count and then they leave. There is no reason to take the records unless there are dishonest intentions.
English
@AmanitaFugax Then why do they refuse to release them to the Feds?

Republicans will never accept a nationwide election loss again.
Doesn’t matter if you get rid of mail voting, doesn’t matter if everyone has ID. The goalposts will always move.
They have Pavlov’d themselves into believing they cannot lose a fair election.

@diwhycoder @geerlingguy We could, but then we might as well switch to IPv6. Everything runs on hardcoded 32bit IPv4. If we are adding another octet, we would have to make everything compatible with that anyway and IPv6 just clearly wins here because of other changes like no NAT and better multicast
English
Today I disabled IPv6 on my home router entirely. There are (sadly) too many devices and services with obscure bugs when it's enabled, and I'm tired of playing whack-a-mole sysadmin just to keep a full IPv6 stack.
I'm not sure we'll ever see full IPv6 adoption.

@TheGameVerse Right hip camera, unskippable cutscenes, and action /story ratio going from 70/30 to 30/70 ruined God of War. Lady just walking for 90% of the unnecessarily long trailer wasn't encouraging. Not enough details to make informed decision about Intergalactic.

@IntCyberDigest That's rich coming from the company that shares unnecessary user request data with the data brokers they use as part of the verification process, likely as part of a rev share program.
