It's a baby step thing. They want to develop for Linux but so far it's about 3% of steam users that use it. So when a studio does its testing/optimizing they focus on the platform their player base is using most.

Obviously there's a negative feedback loop here. Players avoid Linux because of issues which causes devs to neglect it because of player numbers which causes issues in the game...

Steam is pushing Linux currently but it's hard to overcome the dominant position windows and consoles have. We'll get there though.

Yeah they do though. His bet before the 2008 crash was similar. It's where the market is pointing. Publicly available data suggests there's a big ass bubble. The timing is essentially a bet. Last time it almost wiped him out because he was a bit early. We'll see how it goes this time.

There's many cities like this. I remember reading about Mexico City being on a similar path. Ground water keeps sinking rapidly so they keep digging until some day they won't be able to and it's all fucked.

He's trying to connect going out and meeting people with the beer but the beer isn't the part that helps your mental health here. It's the socializing.

People are currently socializing less because social media is a (very crappy) substitute that is effortlessly accessible. I call it the fentanyl of social interaction. It's cheap and easy to access but the result is worse on all levels.

Take this conversation as an example. I reply to your comment and we're having a social interaction that might satisfy the need for human connection to a certain (very small) degree but nothing else will come of it. We most likely won't ever interact with eachother again. If instead we'd go out and discuss things with people in person we might actually make friends. Form lasting connections. Now I'm fine with my social life at the moment but if I wasn't I'd have a hard time changing it because people my age just don't go out much these days. Making friends got a lot harder than it used to be.

They don't. It's part flood the zone, part pandering to certain voters. Look what we do for you! A blue state wouldn't fight for your health like this!

Nothing will come of it but it's a positive distraction from the extraction of wealth that is currently happening.

So...how did you become turkeys most successful furry escort, Mr. Kazuk?

It's a long story. [throws away his cigarette and puts wolf masks on] Let's get this over with.

Flooding the zone too stronk

All crappy IoT devices ever made. They aren't used in bot nets all the time because hackers like the challenge of hacking them so much. Security simply isn't a priority.

Yes, but all you need to do is stop the fan from spinning by holding it in place. This will be better for cleaning anyway.
