Oh it’s worse than that. It was never even legally binding, it was just a finger-in-the air - only after the fact was it treated like the cast iron democratic will of the people while over in the real world the Electoral Commission would’ve actually declared the whole thing void if it was a legally binding referendum because of illegal overspend by the grifters pushing it in the first place.

The whole thing is maddening to think about, honestly

I have just gotten into baldurs gate 3 and holy shit it has consumed my soul.

… Which is kinda fitting considering the themes of the game

Also nestle says hi

For all the invasive problems this feature causes, what the fuck does it actually do? The ability to ask an ai what website you were on last Thursday? Who needs this garbage

Fucking stupid timeline we’re trapped in

Probably because it’s mostly just a QoL update which also restricts people to one family group - which was always the intention but it closes a loophole where person A could share with person B and B could separately share their library with person C unless all three are in the same family group and geo location. Plus there’s now a year penalty to switch family group or refill a slot that has been vacated so you really have to commit to it. In many ways it’s more restrictive than before, albeit better for the intended use case.

I’m a little bit sad because I shared my library with my brother and niece in other countries in Europe and that’s no longer doable. Ah well

Finally getting around to playing Disco Elysium. I know I’m late to the party but holy cow what a trip

I’m the opposite because I’ve had nothing but bad luck with docker. I should really spend more time with it but ugh

Debugging (without a MacBook). Webgl 2. WebXR. Local storage not being completely gimped. I’m glad I don’t work in that industry anymore, Safari was the bane of my existence…

Good web standards are a threat to the app store (particularly anything to do with ARKit) - not like 3rd party browsers are likely to change that much with the majority of users sticking to defaults, but it might apply some pressure

Not lag, physical pushback from the wheels

True, but sensitivity is only half the story - the direct feedback of a wheel cannot be overstated

It’s not just about precision, it’s about feedback. Being directly connected with the steering linkage gives valuable feedback about the road and the front wheels - just because handicapped people have an alternative that they may use out of necessity does not mean it’s a better solution.

In a fully autonomous car, sure perhaps a simple manual system as a backup makes sense but we aren’t there yet. You are talking absolute nonsense, and I can only assume you haven’t ever driven a vehicle.

Steering wheels are enormous because that allows fine grain control, which you need at higher speeds. Switching lane at 70mph requires only very slight movement but turning the car around in a street you can go full lock.

A joystick would be fucking TERRIFYINGLY stupid lmao

And separated out the Bluetooth antenna from the WiFi

The cheapest 64GB one on clearance is a steal, just stick your own m.2 in there later

Oof. I had mine about 6 weeks but that stings lol

There are rumours abound that it may well be a wireless pcvr headset with an optional “base station” which is essentially a beefed up steam deck for the TV. I hope that’s true because that would be ideal for people with existing PCs but who knows

It should pop up on the desktop steam vr window thingy if it’s not default

How much of that is a workaround to feed client rendered webpages into LLMs and bypass robots.txt etc
