Makes sense. Thieves filtering for easy marks is probably older than writing.

More than just a dispute over data, though, the Wikipedia editors argued that ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt often acts as more of a partisan actor in the Israel-Palestine conversation than a neutral source of information.

Greenblatt has called US anti-Zionist student protesters Iranian “proxies,” compared the Palestinian keffiyeh scarf to a swastika, and praised Elon Musk just days after the Twitter owner endorsed an antisemitic conspiracy theory as the “actual truth” last November.

Is this the story of the world now? Some old rich guy watches a little too much TV/Twitter and sends a major organization off the rails?

…I guess it always has been.

I get why, but I’m still a little surprised they haven’t done it already.

That’s just it though, sales are good, it’s still getting hype, people are playing it. It doesnt’ feel like Cyberpunk gets the same hype and forgiveness as starfield.

I know people have complained about this for every BGS release since Oblivion (and I loved Oblivion), but it really seems egregious this time. Not because its broken but because it’s so… blah.

Is it that dramatic though? NBC calls it “a widely expected move”

I’m sure the annotations will be intelligent and insightful…

I got it for free, and honestly I would have loved it years ago. Not as much as other BGS games, but still.

Now… it feels like it should have come out at least 5 years before it did, maybe more? I played the intro and never went back.

I was also kinda put off because it ran like poo on a 7800X3D and a 3090. I finished CP2077 on a freaking laptop 2060, and it actually ran great.

I find it sad that CP2077 isn’t “good enough” to get a long chain of DLC while Starfield is.

I guess this is true of many games, but still…

No, it ended when attention optimization and monetization became the objective.

If social media was all “dumb” it would be totally different, though I suppose keeping third party monetization out is always difficult.

Because it makes the line go up?

Sustainability doesn’t matter. Musk’s hype holds the market value up (in the short term), and kicking him out could tank it from the controversy alone. That’s all that matters.

I like to think many investors are buy and hold, long term institutional, Warren acolytes or whatever, but in reality the outlook is just so short for so many people now. What matters is the next day and the next quarter, and they can just bail out after that.

Indeed, though I prefer skipping extensions on mobile because (as said above) native implementations tend to be faster and more power efficient.

Ublock is probably an exception though. It’s quite fast.

An old Snapdragon 845 phone, lol. A razer phone 2.

It just feels sluggish. Pages render slower, especially larger ones, and it eats more battery, especially with extensions like adblockers running.

It’s especially apparent because the RP2 is like the oldest 120hz phone. Bromite (aka chromium) feels like butter in comparison.

I don’t on mobile because it’s way too slow.

But I guess that isn’t applicable to this post because mobile Chromium doesn’t have ublock anyway…

And on linux, I have firefox issues with wayland because of some Nvidia thing. Chromium too, but its less severe and I can actually get GPU acceleration working.

Going to plug Cromite (a continuation of Bromite) for a great Chromium fork with built in adblocking, and no nonsense like Brave or whatever: https://github.com/uazo/cromite

Also great on Android (which it was originally developed for).

Forks maintained by a hero dev are less than ideal (and not sustainable TBH), but this is where we are…

This is desperately needed

Its staying power is really annoying TBH.

I guess it could be worse (AKA everyone just going to Discord instead).

For me its the opposite, Linux always boots fine but occasionally a linux system update will break the Windows boot option in systemd-boot
