I was wondering what happened to the Discord IPO. Discord already went to shit, I don’t know what else an IPO could do to it? More restrictions?

No… RCS is a protocol (from GSMA) anyone can implement, Google just spearheaded it and developed Jibe to make it easy for operators to implement, but by doing this it means Google gained a lot of control of it and added their own features to such as end-to-end encryption.

Yeah, so in typical modern day fashion get ready to lose functionality.

They often trade UX for “pretty” these days and I find most apps and websites horrible to use in comparison to 10+ years ago. Like everything has to be in a context menu for some reason now.

But one thing it also demonstrated was peoples will for power and recognition, no matter how small. They enjoy being mods, it makes them feel above others, so there will always be someone willing to trade morals to take the position.

Yes MKBHD is the same. Just loads of shill content to keep brands happy.

They just throw out any random shit and people click and watch it. LTTs quality dropped years ago when they got too big. It’s about views now, not respectable content.

Ubisoft lost it after AC Brotherhood.

Just ignore the “triple A” industry and games are usually great. Lots of small passionate studios still pumping out quality stuff.

There’s no such thing. It’s just milking people who are crazy enough to fall into the trap of buying them.
$30 is not a microtransaction, thats a macrotransaction, thats an entire other video game.

Free to play doesnt give a game a pass on predatory business tactics, they are free to play for one reason only… to sell you worthless pixels for ridiculous prices. F2P games are designed for that purpose and that purpose only.

But I agree that any paid game should have zero MTX, cosmetic or not. Industry is killing its creative aspect with all this monetisation shit.

Yeah they advertise no ads, but then have referral links to Kayak in their app. Seems like the main devs have gone off their rockers.

To be fair, chromium aside, edge did start as a nice browser, but as with all MS products, they end up getting riddled with more and more bullshit over time.

Just use Firefox.

Convenient, easy to use, available everywhere.

People keep reading their tweets and clicking on the articles.

What’s new and advanced about this? Hasn’t it all already existed in some form? It’s just been Apple-ified, no? It’s just a VR headset, an actual AR headset is something like HoloLens.

Beyond the tech, who is even the target audience for this? I only see it as a gimmick, one for just Apple geeks to buy. One of the reasons 3DTV’s failed is because nobody wanted to wear the glasses, so why would anyone want to strap this to their face just to do something they already do or could do on their TV/computer/phone?

You can already pretty much do everything this can with an existing VR headset in one way or another, for a lot cheaper.
It’s a bizzare product.

Even when they get a new user on Linux, they still then scrutinise their choice of distribution, if not that then their IDE. There’s no winning and it’s off-putting for people considering the jump.

Dragons are much cooler than Wyverns, why do they keep getting dunked on like this :(

Just pause updates

And the sewer is filled with literal shit, it doesn’t make a complaint over a pop-up ad on a paid tier any less valid. Get ya whataboutism out of here!

Emails, opt-in are fine yeah. I don’t mind the little Special offer button at the top either, it’s just the pop-up when I’m just trying to check my mails that is really intrusive.
