At least somebody is reading my blog. Thanks, bots.

You mean summer sale 2027.

I’d question even if this is true. OP wrote it like they read the contract lol.

But even if it’s true, it’s not like publishers have a choice. You can’t say no and not release your game on steam because it’s the biggest store by far. Valve is literally abusing its monopoly to reinforce its monopoly.

There are many reasons, but I think the ultimate explanation is that the fediverse isn’t even trying to compete with corporate-owned networks.

There are just too many things that confuse regular users - things they don’t need to think about on mainstream platforms, such as how to discover new content, why there are different servers, dramas around instance admins, and so on. You actually have to want to be here to overcome these obstacles.

And this is by design. The fediverse is many projects created and managed by many people. There is no single entity that could optimize the user experience and promote a single service.

So yeah, the fediverse is insignificant in the grand scheme of things. Is that a problem to solve? I’m not sure. The fediverse is a real alternative precisely because it’s different.

Poor MEPs.

LibreOffice isn’t an alternative to web-based office suites.

I wish I could erase my memory and play it again for the first time. Man, it’s one of my favorites.

They probably don’t want to deal with Microsoft lawyers.

I’m surprised admins found a window large enough when github wasn’t down to ban the researcher.

Surely you can’t be serious?

People are shitting on it as if they were planning to buy one, but now they have to find another EV for $640k lol. I like it.

AI is great for this. We shouldn’t put people with disabilities at a disadvantage because of the anti-AI hysteria.

So it is clickbait.

No.

It isn’t a clickbait. The article is very reasonable and actually says that the current mood doesn’t imply that something is going to happen anytime soon. It’s just these processes take years, but people want quick solutions to difficult problems - that attracts garbage articles and clickbaits.

He’s rather an outlier in modern history as well as the circumstances of his fall. Modern dictators know how to manage this risk. Putin, being a former KGB agent, knows that better than anyone.

He didn’t, but this article mentions that people close to him were arrested.

Putin, Trump, Xi, Modi, Netanyahu, and until recently Khamenei - they’re all 70+, they don’t understand modern world. And yet they rule some of the biggest and/or influential countries.

Something tells me you like horrors.

Is UE5 still being maintained? If not, I can imagine that it’s easier for the team to migrate to UE6 than to keep it UE5 running. Just trying to find a reasonable explanation.
