It does often feel like as soon as a significant hurdle is overcome, the industry just makes another one.

Hopefully SteamOS/Steam on Linux gets enough traction to force publishers to reconsider.

The problem with that approach is that the authentic disc is effectively used as your licence at the moment. There wouldn’t be any effective way to stop piracy with offline zip files

back in the 360/Wii days you could often download and install updates from a disc or USB stick since they still had to be digitally signed anyway.

Not an ideal solution but still no reason why we couldn’t still do that to have offline copies of updates for preservation

Sony really screwed over the play after promising Ice Cream Sandwich

Now I’m picturing a pokémart with micro transactions to buy items and I’m glad this doesn’t exist

C# Devkit will do in a pinch but it’s still second class in VS Code compared to languages like TypeScript.

I called this out after my first trip to the US, and then I came back to the UK just in time for the coronation weekend. Hahaha we definitely outdid them a bit in terms of flags which shut me right up.

The difference is all our flags went away again straight after the coronation.

100% and I’m sure you know this too but just to add to your point, I believe the US government spends more money per capita on healthcare than anywhere in Europe, so even under the “Why should I?” lens, the current approach costs individuals more because they have to pay for it in taxes and then also in insurance premiums, copay etc.

It’s not just for the benefit of society as a whole, “you” as an individual would also be financially better off under a socialised system.

That was quite a read.

Thanks for sharing.

One of the big things they taught us in history lessons was how he came across very charismatic and that he was good at winning people over.

It’s really important for people to understand and learn in order to not repeat the mistakes of populism, evil people don’t generally go around shouting about how evil they are.

Ah yes. There’s actually quite a lot of jokes that feel more controversial in retrospect but yeah that one’s pretty bad

Which one is that one?

The cynic in me says maybe your coworker was just taking their time

Lol - POs looking at backend tests, as if

Does it matter if those machines are an hour out for 6 months? Why not just keep them on UTC as a rule?

Which UK party are you referring to as being pro-Moscow?
