Read beyond the headline. This is about Pixel MDM including more data, not about RCS actually having any significant update.

This isn’t really even about RCS, but okay.

I think the canted touchpads are a nice touch, and inline sticks are the way to go (I can’t believe Nintendo and Microsoft continue to get this wrong).

This makes me doubt the author of the article’s credibility. What exactly is the “perfect resolution” of a hand painted piece of art?

High-enough that you can’t distinguish individual pixels with your eye. At least, that’s how Apple defines their retina displays; not sure if these guys are following the same standard for that terminology or not.

If they promoted it on another FOSS platform, nobody would see it.

So… it’s a custom wrapper for Bluesky?

You’re paying with your data.

If you knew about any of the four reporters that founded 404 Media, or the incredibly high quality journalism they produce, this thought wouldn’t have even crossed your mind.

If one could ever actually read anything on 404 Media in the first place, maybe one would know that. But as somebody who doesn’t have the preexisting knowledge of who founded the org or what sort of reporting they do, it’s hard to glean anything useful when the articles are cut off by a paywall.

The children’s images were used by Meta after their parents had posted them on Instagram to mark their return to school.

STOP POSTING PICTURES OF YOUR CHILDREN ON THE INTERNET. Even IF Meta weren’t going to use the photos for advertising purposes, that shit is still public. Even if you set it to “friends only”, you don’t know everybody on your friend list as well as you’d like to think.

The point is, I don’t see any evidence of malice here, so I have to assume stupidity.

Oh, I definitely agree. I just think that Valve would’ve come up with a much better solution than a daily deal if this was a game from a big publisher.

I’ll bet you that if it was an EA (as in the publisher) game, Valve would’ve figured out how to send those wishlist emails.

The use of “real jobs” already tells me that you don’t respect artists, which is likely the real reason why you don’t want to pay them.

Because, you’d find this hard to believe, that there are people who want to enjoy a hobby without feeling like selling out.

Hobbyists have bills to pay, too.

That’s an awfully defeatist way of looking at it, IMO.

I feel like “not paying artists” makes as much for a better world as “not tipping waitstaff”.

This has been my concern, as well. Games rarely ship as a finished product anymore. All the disc is really good for is acting as a token for ownership. But even that is limited, as the disc often doesn’t even have enough space to fully install a playable version of the game, and you still need to be able to download the rest of the game from official servers.

For what it’s worth, ChatGPT has gotten better at citing its sources, so it’s easier to fact-check it.

Shut the fuck up, Elon. We’ll be celebrating your death, as well.

Elon tried to get CDPR to add him as a character in Cyberpunk 2077, not realizing that he’s literally Saburo Arasaka.
