my brother in Christ indie games exist

AI can also point out human rights abuses, exploitation, corruption in politics and other nefarious deeds. Corrupt people are TERRIFIED of A.I.

Example: See what’s currently happening with Kerbal Space Program 2

It doesn't work, there are too many requirements for it to work better than just downloading the games.

Yeah, because we all know that the KSP developers also design and sell high end computer hardware.

I used to like buying ultra enthusiasts hardware because it meant you could set your games to max but nowadays developers don’t bother optimizing for the majority and develop for the next generation so you need high end hardware to get good performance. The problem isn’t hardware it is lazy developers. There are plenty of good examples but too many bad examples.

Good. We need more competition not less. Plus, Figma rocks and XD sucks.

0,77MWh is not bad at all. That's like charging an electric car about 7-8 times or less than the monthly power usage of an average household.

A typical older nuclear reactors produce about 800MW. Which is 1000ton/h or 8,8 million a year. 5 reactors would be enough to almost completely offset a country like Sweden.

Almost sounds too good to be true imo.

Is it just me or where these more options for cards 15 to 20 years ago? I remember playing 3d games in the late 90s/early 2000s with inadequate hardware and the games weren't perfect but definitely playable.

Europe to ‘assess’ Adobe’s proposed $20B Figma acquisition on competition grounds

Adobe’s proposed plan to snap up digital design rival Figma for $20 billion has attracted the attentions of the European Commission (EC), which announced today that the proposed merger potentially “threatens to significantly affect competition in the market for interactive product design and whiteboarding software.”While the EC acknowledged that the transaction doesn’t meet the turnover thresholds set out in the EU merger regulations, meaning that the merging companies weren’t required to notify European regulators, there are separate provisions in Article 22 that allow member EU countries to refer specific cases to the EC if they believe that a transaction will diminish a competition in specific European markets.A press bulletin published by the EC noted:

This provision allows Member States to request the Commission to examine a concentration that does not have an EU dimension but affects trade within the single market and threatens to significantly affect competition within the territory of the Member States making the request.

As such, the EC said that it has received requests from Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czechia, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway and Sweden to look at the deal and determine whether there is a case to answer.

Scrutiny

Today’s news comes some five months after news first emerged that Adobe was to buy Figma, the 10-year-old venture-backed startup behind a collaborative design platform. A deal of that size was always likely to attract some regulatory scrutiny, with the U.S. Department of Justice (DoJ) already looking closely at the deal while the U.K. is also making initial enquiries.It was widely accepted that Europe would also look at the deal, particularly after Austria’s competition watchdog sought a referral for the proposed merger last month, so today’s news is not exactly unexpected.

It’s worth noting that this doesn’t signal Europe’s intent to launch a full investigation, just that it will request that Adobe formally notifies the EC of the transaction, which will likely kickstart an initial review at an EU level. This also means that irrespective of what happens in other jurisdictions around the world, Adobe won’t be able to conclude the transaction before it’s cleared by the EC.

Big, if true!

Why should the govt protect a toxic echo chamber? Who does that help? At whose cost? Twitter is a net negative the last thing it needs is government protection.

That's the end result, yes. Better silenced than compliant.

You know who doesn't like that? Established businesses with investors to answer to

Even when someone links a Musk tweet from here you get this routine "Did he delete it?" "No you have to hit refresh a bunch of times before it loads"

At that level? Not since like 2013

You mean "censored."

The awkward fact is that right wing accounts get banned more than left wing accounts because they are objectively worse than left wing accounts and creating the perception of "balance" requires actively favoring them

Meh, twitter is still a toxic place and bots so not much changed.

It's terrible if you want to see google broken up because it reinforces the fact that Google isn't a monopoly. Anyone can put up a website and compete. TikTok did this and has done well. Despite their evil monopoly, Google Plus didn't happen. On and on and on. You want a monopoly, look at Comcast or most American ISPs. Google actively fights them with Google fiber. The monopoly push against Google will fail unless the laws are rewritten to target Google. The only arguments we have so far are emotional "DAE GOOGLR EVIL" diatribes. No mention of Comcast and friends.

But that ruins his narrative
