GTA IV: The Lost and the Damned. They changed the way bikes worked, tweaked the guns, and I liked the story a lot at the time.

The Chicago Sky has a player named Natasha Cloud, that's very fun. That'd be like the Toronto Maple Leafs with a player named Syrup. More teams need to get on Chicago's level here.

@proton.me My Email now has AI sorting stuff with "Primary", "Social", etc. Annoyingly, I have had to disable able it device by device. I want to disable all Proton AI across all products forever. I never want to hear about AI bullshit from Proton. Please give me a button for that like Firefox did.

Tough loss, but a very, very good game.

This "movie" will never be made. Marketers are noting the names of every moron who writes articles like this. They're clearly easier marks than bag holders in a rug pull NFT discord. Never trust anything ever written somebody whose written an article like this.

This might be one of the most insane scandals in game history When Pokemon Go players scan PokeStops, theyve been unknowingly building a detailed visual model of the world which is being sold to a military contractor to build a no-GPS positioning for the new generation of unmanned killing machines

The only way to describe stuff like this is loser shit. Caring at all about an "#AI actor" that has done 0 acting is beyond pathetic.

Why was I invited to Beast Studios? youtu.be/0dwagg5wYY4

Remember this next time this country asks us to send troops to Afghanistan or Iraq

a stat i always cite is the number of anti-trans articles in the press went from 60 in a year, to 7,500

I bought an RTX 3080 a few months after launch. Thinking it has a big enough performance gap over the PS5 for PC port jank. Since then, #Nvidia has worked tirelessly to make sure cards more powerful than mine are as unappealing as possible. Thanks I guess?

It's really annoying how hard it is to buy music. What I'd like is to go to a band's website and then pay them what they think is a fair price for their latest release. Stretch goal; also let me buy a CD other than the most recent release.

I don't know what Deloitte charged for this non-sense report. But the guy behind the King James Programming Markov chain (kingjamesprogramming.tumblr.com) can probably generate much funnier nonsense for a much lower price, and it wouldn't even require boiling the ocean. Just an idea.

Mario Galaxy is so much better on my Steam Deck than it was on the Wii. Took me a bit to nail down a control scheme that works, but now that I have it's just a super fun game.

Awful news. Wes gets all the attention but Sam was vital to their sound. The first note most people heard from "Limp Bizkit" was the killer bass line to "Nookie."

Every day after I have my first meeting, #Microsoft #Teams begs me to put their stupid #AI #Copilot in the sidebar. If it were actually a good product, they would not have to work this hard to juice the usage stats. I can't wait for this bubble to pop so that these losers leave me alone.

This is a great guide! If, like me, you're also into self hosting you can also check out meta search engine #SearXNG (github.com/searxng/sear...). It's a fun project to set up and run as well as being at least as good as Duck Duck Go.

tl;dr

On every platform I use, #Firefox is the best browser. It’s really annoying how hard #Mozilla works at trying to make me dislike them.

I really dislike the number of services that want me to get their app just so they can essentially send me e-mail. Honestly, when I want info from you I should be able to go to your website. And when I want you to be able to send me info, I should give you my e-mail. The end.

This whole story is a wild and very low stakes ride. www.cbc.ca/newsinteract...

URGENT PSA DO NOT EMAIL PRIVATE LAWYERS FROM YOUR WORK EMAIL ADDRESSES IT IS NOT CONFIDENTIAL PASS IT ON

Now that's a headline.

I'm disappointed that #Mozilla now have an #AI bullshit extension to maintain. At a moment where they're about to lose the #Google money, instead of focusing on the browser they've launched an expensive toy. This @omgubuntu.co.uk write-up covers it well www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2024/12/orbi....

Wow! This is some pretty wild stuff. No wonder #Gaetz wanted this buried. #uspol

I really think it's stupid to charge fares for #PublicTransit. I have, and quite like, the #DeutschlandTicket. But, all the infrastructure in and around collecting fares, and chasing down people for fines is just a complete waste. It's an insulting waste too as it only targets the poor.

“Two years ago, Elon Musk bought Twitter. I personally didn’t have a problem with that, because I’m a common sense centrist who nevertheless only writes about how much I agree with reactionary ideas.” Pitch-perfect satire.

I merged this PR into one of my #selfhosted projects today and boy did it ever feel good. I opened up the project because a dependency I was using got deprecated and the inspiration struck.

I filled in the #Mozilla survey and you should too. The sad thing is that of you like #Firefox and want them to focus on making a good browser instead of #AI bs, then like me you will need to select "Other" and write it in. https://mozillafoundation.tfaforms.net/100

It's not as beefy as my #gamingpc but in many ways my #SteamDeck is my favourite way to game. From suspend/resume to that amazing OLED screen, and more. I dream of a future world where the #SteamDeck 5 pis powerful enough to drive my 4K TV in docked mode and then that'll be all I need.

I can’t believe I’m actually looking forward to new #InfoWars content. Weird feeling lol

How fitting that The Onion made Alex Jones cry

One hilarious thing in #TheDivision is that if you scan a "civilian in need" to determine what help they need. Such a bonkers alternative to just having your character ask them. Me: "I just scanned your neck, hands, and crotch; here's that soda you need" Civilian: "Cheers, here's a scarf" 🤣

#TheDivision is ~8 years old and I still like it. I install the game every few months, play it for a bit then move on. The core gameplay loop is very fun, even though the story is bad at basic every level. It's basically the only shooter with spongy enemies I like.

Whoever designed the comment system in #Excel did a very nice job. It's very useful and the ability to "solve" them is such a nice touch.
