Blame Canada!

…sorry.

Oh, dude, by a mile. He doesn’t have a creative bone in his body. PayPal and Tesla? He bought those, the companies were already founded and were doing business before Elon came with his emerald mine money.

The Las Vegas Loop, on the other hand, is his brainchild. And… it’s a subway system. He re-invented the subway. Only worse! Subway trains usually transport dozens, if not hundreds of people at the same time. The Loop doesn’t use trains, though. It uses cars. Manned cars. And, you guessed it, they’re all Teslas.

Best part, though? You know how subway tunnels usually have little niches for subway workers to duck into and maintenance tunnels, ventilation, etc.? Yeah, the LV Loop has none of those. The place is a deathtrap. The moment there’s an accident down there, people WILL die from asphyxiation. Did I mention the walls are so narrow that if you wanted to make an emergency exit, you can’t get out of the car?

So, to sum up: he has a mind. I would struggle to call it creative, though. The things that worked, he had nothing to do with. The things he did have a hand in, are a disaster. Just ask the citizens of Boca Chica. But that’s a whole other kettle of fish and this comment is long enough as it is.

tl;dr: Narcissistic conman, yes.

I get that now that ActiBlizz’s shares have tanked is the best time to snap them up, but at the same time, have they seen what soulless dross ActiBlizz has been producing over the past few years?

Well, here’s hoping they get rid of Kotick, at least.

Yeah, the blockchain seems to be the common denominator across all “definitions”.

What centralised database? What problem is this trying to solve?

I don’t know this Bayliss guy, but I already hate his guts. He’s creating MORE scalpers, making a bad situation even worse.

Reminds me of this article from last year. No matter how they try to spin it, scalpers are scum. That’s the long and short of it.

The title is a bit off, I think. It implies that Mozilla’s climate policy review is over and done, but as far as I can see, the review is still ongoing. The situation is still the same as last week when this whole kerfuffle blew up: Mozilla has paused cryptocurrency donations and is currently reviewing the impact cryptos have on the world’s climate.

Mine is Monokuma from the Danganronpa video game series. I just like how nicely he works as an avatar: only a couple of colors, immediately recognizable and it’s not heavy on the details. I suppose I could make the argument that his black and white likeness represents the duality of man, but that would be 2deep4me.

I just like him, is all.

Legitimate question: is there any practical reason why an average user would continue to use Google search?

You’re constantly dealing with popups about changes to the license agreement, the first few search results are always sponsored and now this. Even if I didn’t care about privacy, I would be pulling my hair out.

Was about to ask the same. There are quite a few articles on the topic, but all of them are marketing fluff.

That tracks. When 8 came out, people stuck with 7. When Vista came out, people stuck with XP. When ME came out, people stuck with Win98 (and some with Win2k). I imagine this will be much the same.

Getting a shot just got a whole new meaning.

Color me unsurprised.

Guys, OP’s right. Vaxed people do die. As do unvaxed people, but you know, details.

Anyone remember HD-DVDs?

Norton 360, one of the most popular antivirus products on the market today […]

For real? Even when I was still on Windows way back when, everyone I knew was avoiding Norton like the plague.

And just lol @ installing a crypto miner and taking a comission.

I like them better than imitation meat, honestly. I haven’t tried the impossible burger, but I have tried a burger with a beyond meat patty and, man, I dunno. It does come pretty close to tasting like meat, but it tastes kind of off. I think vegan burgers taste best when they don’t try to imitate meat and instead try to do their own thing like make a patty out of beans and beet and stuff.

I liked the video. Like @marmulak said wanting every Windows game to work on an OS that is clearly unsupported strikes me as an odd approach, but whatever, to each their own. In fact, I find it amazing that Linux is now able to run as many games as it does. This was not the case a few years back. All in all, I’m hopeful for the future as far as Linux games are concerned.

One nitpick, though. That tweet by Ben Golus saying that they would skip Linux next time because of how many errors Linux users generate. He was full of shit. There was also the Titans fiasco, so yeah. Ben Golus and Uber Entertainment should have zero credibility at this point.

Is being a landlord even considered a job?

I meant decentralized as in there’s no company or organisation behind Bitcoin, but yes, it’s very cost prohibitive.
