It is not pertinent to this article.

I know a couple of people who transitioned and if I didn’t know I couldn’t tell.

I think I would be open to date if I found out organically that they are trans.
If instead it is the topic of conversation every other day, I’d pass.

Makes me puke.

There were plans from Google and Microsoft to build their own nuclear power plants to power their ever-consuming data centers.

You gave a slightly different prompt.

Just one more private nuclear power plant, bro…

The permission system is not more complicated than Discord’s.

I read some obscure manga titles and I’d say that the skills and care are still there.

It’s also kind of an all-powerful god though.

Matrix has a name for being a cumbersome protocol, which is partly true (try to join a room on a big server like matrix.org, but also kde.org and mozilla.org), but there are now lightweight servers such as Dendrite and Continuwuity.

That’s a powerful image.

Everything you wrote is true, but it is also true that the people who work at Valve, not Gabe who is almost completely detached now, really care about what they do.
Which does not mean that they care about customers, necessarily. If they do, that is only a consequence.

Google’s dominance

Is it? Try to ask <18y.o. if they even ever open Youtube.
Google is not dominant in the video streaming context any more.

It’s a big waste of energy to stream in 4K, so if I were you I’d simply not watch the video.

Users stop watching on Youtube to go watch on Tiktok. I can’t see that as a win.

None of the platforms allowed employs E2E encryption, does it?

Microsoft Bing.

I don’t remember this being enforced.

Why switch from a Pixel 8? It’s still fairly new.

Which then turned out to be not exactly true.
