Just like it took a decade for media and mainstream to pick up Reddit, it’ll take a decade for that to seep through.

They are for adult weirdos.

Where do I sign up?

IIRC Windows has an accessibility feature where the cursor jumps to the primary default action in opening dialogs.

Doing it screenshot based seems inefficient if y du could iterate through windows and controls.

Going beyond “that you remember”, Wikipedia has a list.

lol; Thanks Dave Kinne! /s

Note: This is from August. So it’s been a while since then.

so the issue is not digital, but DRM

any non-video source?

But it’s still digital when pirated…

Will we call it WeirdPress?

Is that what the pilot calls “streaming through the cloud”?

Simulating data in flight. Makes sense.

The company has reported net losses every quarter since becoming a public company, with last twelve months (LTM) losses totaling $1.07 billion.

it’s crazy that that’s feasible and not already an issue. And for such a super popular platform. If it’s not profitable now, when will it be?

When did it go public?

Roblox went public on the NYSE via a direct listing on March 10th, 2021, and has a current market capitalization of ~$27 billion.

Interviews reveal Roblox effectively has two sets of books for counting users: one for internal business decisions, in which multiple accounts are ‘de-alted’, and one used by the finance team that reports higher metrics to investors.

To better understand the company’s reported engagement, we hired a technical consultant that monitored the top ~7,200 Roblox games across ~2.1 million Roblox servers, collecting 297.7 million rows of real-time player data.

They did extensive, founded analysis.

Can you explain what you mean by free speech?

Is the free choice of content selection algorithm free speech? Isn’t the speech, the content, there either way, and could be selected through other alternative algorithms?

Is using deliberately engaging or addicting design free speech? Isn’t the speech, the content, there either way?

They’re describing one kind of free proprietary software and company setup. Which is valid. But the title claiming “[all] always ends in tears” isn’t supported by that.

Half Life Alyx

threats of commercial retaliation appear to have dampened the resolve

A few days ago I saw an interview with an EU official (I don’t remember who) which gave interesting insight.

They pointed out that they’re talking with China about these tariffs, that they’re taking a proof-based approach on them, reasoning and justifying with evidence of unfair subsidies, and that China has accepted such tariffs in the past for other things.

Collecting and discussing evidence obviously takes more time. But it defuses the “I put tariffs on you” -> “then I put tariffs on you” into a “these unjust subsidies were in place so we have to add these tariffs” -> “I don’t like it but I see”.

I wonder how those talks turned out, given that the tariffs have now been set. I guess I will hear from China if they object.

I loved Goat Simulator for its absurdity and silliness. It had a lot of content and stuff to explore as well, embedding cultural references and humor.

I love the idea of a silly game like Goat Simulator being embedded in the street.

What do you mean?

It has buttons on both sides.

The letter alleged that “your blatant and widespread unlicensed use of our Client’s trademarks has infringed our Client’s rights and confused consumers into believing, falsely, that WP Engine is authorized, endorsed, or sponsored by, or otherwise affiliated or associated with, our Client.”

If the trademark is indeed on the wordpress.org foundation and not the wordpress.com company, I didn’t think that’s a fair argument.

When I think Wordpress I think the software, not their hosting or company. Such an argument would only work if the exclusive trademark licensing were actually exclusively used, and not in addition to the very vast Wordpress [software] ecosystem.

WPEngine using the Wordpress trademark makes me think they’re using Wordpress. Not that they are affiliated with Wordpress.com (or automattic that runs it).

Their about us pages:

• https://automattic.com/about/
• https://wpengine.com/about-us/

I don’t think either is a cancer to the FOSS Wordpress ecosystem. Both seem to give back.
