I've tried downloading some of the games that are on the Play Store for my kids, and by God those apps are cancerous. An ad every 30 seconds and the games are made purely with getting the players to become addicted in mind. Get off your fucking high horse Pichai.

As a Linux noob I first thought you were just facerolling on your keyboard. But then I read it as b-cache-fs. It's a new file system, I take it?

Wtf did I just read?

"... in 2003 the company had been allowed an “effective corporate tax rate” of just 1% on its European profits and just 0.005% in 2014."

That's insane...

Now I'm going to do it even harder!

NFTs! 😅

For people like me who don't know what FAFO stands for. It's "fuck around & find out".

But yeah, what a mess to behold. It's very entertaining.

You, what do you own the world? How do you own disorder, disorder?

That's what you get when you let managers and the sales teams decide what games to develop and what features they should have. Hint: it has nothing to do with trying to squeeze out every cent your fans have.

I think what they were trying to say was that at first it looks like a click bait headline, but that the dark truth is that it's actually directly from the UN.

The term Kadyrovtsy is commonly used in Chechnya to refer to any armed, ethnically-Chechen men under the control of Head of the Chechen Republic Ramzan Kadyrov, although nominally they are under the umbrella of the National Guard of Russia.

Good guy!

Two or more things can be alarming at the same time.

That's going to end well...

I think they believe the Dems are cheating, so that justifies them cheating as well.

"Who's a pedophile?"

If I get turned down for a job by an AI tool, that tool probably knew I wouldn't want to work for a company that uses said tool. And therefor it works as intended...?

Anything particular that stands out for you? I'm itching to get my hands on Baldurs Gate 3.

I had the same with Amazon and an Espresso machine. Got the box, it was beat up, missing Styrofoam, missing manual and damage to the appliance itself. But I also paid full price. Sent it back directly, got my money back and never ordering from them again.

Aww man ☹️

Bravo!

I'm the hiphopopotamus my lyrics are bottomless...

Oh yeah sure! The games from Baby Bus are alright, and there are some dino games which teach you programming. All very good, but as soon as an ad appears, 9 times out of 10 it's one of those crappy, slapped together in a day, Unity games filled to the brim with ads itself. Showing characters from popular franchises (like Marvel, and most likely not paid for), and my kid goes "dad, I want that one". Now I have Family Link installed so I have to allow everything he wants to download or pay for, but geez there's so much junk on there.

I'd be sort of OK with the CEOs statement, if they did any sort of moderation on those predatory games aimed at kids. But alas.

Idiots.

There's actually a game option that let's you censor them. I heard they built it in because one of the developers has arachnophobia. :)

I can't see a coalition of PVV, NSC, BBB and VVD serving the full 4 years. NSC and BBB are completely new, and the last time PVV was in a coalition they let it fall...

Not sure about burned, but it took me waaaay to long to figure out that I should brown the chicken (considerably). I used to just cook it until it was done, but without the browning. It was OK but tasteless basically. But just letting it sit on high heat and letting it brown, what an eye opener that was.

Utterly disgusting.

Thanks for the tip!

This is fantastic news! I've been using Boost for Reddit for many years, it was simply the best for me.

Never give up, never surrender.

That date's for Steam.

I read "great actor" 😬

Oh I most certainly agree with that. But their dumb base might actually think that way.

It was a mimic.
