It's a poor carpenter who blames his tools.

Whitehouse angrily insists that we cant afford to help one another.

Spins up "space force" and "autowarcom" like he's playing with action figures.

My 70s machines do it via jumpers.

Seems like all of the stuff that's undeniably American is being perverted and enshittified.

Sucks.

We'll always have (older) pinball.

Delivering pizza for the mob, Hero?

Five Police Officers Criminally Charged for Misusing Flock Cameras in Indianapolis so far

I paid $17 to see "The end of Oak Street" last weekend.

The movie was clearly written by majority AI. Just a long string o tropes and bad decision making.

I figure AI fucked me out of $17 bucks.

There's simply no way to make this tool not be abused.

Sure. There's def not been guidance guidance put out to Flock installers and employees regarding how to behave while being filmed or what do do while interacting with journalists because this is such unexpected behavior.

A stranger who is clearly marked as a journalist following the installer of high profile newsworthy automated surveillance equipment is "expected" behavior.

If you have to ask then you're clearly either

A: Another Cultist trying to bend reality to you're views and force them on the rest of us.... or
B: Not paying enough attention to what's going to warrant further discussion ... or
B: On the Payroll, and paid enough to not see the obvious 1st amendment violations.

Kimmel is a comedian. Trump is the fucking President.

Right.

It's the equal time rule, not the threat that Trump and his goon squad appointees will attack the network with the full force of the federal government just like they've done in the past. Nope- totally the equal time rule, even though JK has had a ton of republicans on in the past. JK has finally just now decided to freeze out conservatives after years of having them as guests... because you said so. Totally legit. Nothing to do with the think skinned man-baby in the oval office.
 

Learning to play the game WAS the game!

Tariffs! An actual legitimate use for them.

This is exactly the sort of thing they're supposed to be for. Tarif to the exact amount of their subsidy.

Or alternatively, subsidize our own auto industry to the same tune and let healthy competition make the decisions.

Little Timmy knows his Forkknife game is a "digital download", while dads old COD:MW2 is a "physical disc". Dads busy with work and changing the oil on his car and stuff. Little Timmy is now the gaming authority in the house, and the suits know it. Being obtuse about the way things are referred to is why young people think us greybeards are out of touch.

It's all very stupid though, I can still play every PC game I've bought on steam for the last 20 years on any x86 computer I please as a digital license, and I have a shelf of discs that go with them. This was the standard for decades. It's not new. Soon, this will include arm devices as well. GoG packages its game with a compatibility layer too. On the flip side- my steam library needs an active internet connection to launch most of the modern titles on offer and managed to slip that under the radar while MS and Sony got a lot of hate for the same idea.

Even if it's not new, it's nice to see MS is "innovating" and hasn't just given up on Xbox after the last couple of years of missteps. It's interesting to consider the way MS has approached every console generation. They're all a little bit different. The whole Kinect idea was fun. Remember when Sony owned them by demonstrating how to loan your friend a physical disc? How far we've come, huh?

They should really just ask gamers what they want, and do that. Seems to have worked out pretty well for Steam. While it's not perfect, it's clearly working as intended.
