right, but what matters to most ad publishers is the number of eyeballs that are converted into buying customers

My chips are also on them coming back, but at the same time it feels like Musk wants to make Twitter’s business harder than it needs to be.

This reaction doesn’t come from the last tweet itself, instead it comes from him not stopping with hot takes and not showing any signs of slowing down.

If he keeps going, I could see companies just accepting “it is what it is” and coming back, but at the same time it also feels like he’s one tweet away from going too far for most companies. And it’s not like Twitter is a strong social media anyway, they are not even in the top 10 social medias in terms of active users count: https://www.statista.com/statistics/272014/global-social-networks-ranked-by-number-of-users/

Maybe these companies may also decide that dealing with Twitter is more trouble than it’s worth. But we’ll see

Those ultra-casuals, consume games not because but despite being games.

lmao

Both.

Games that are usually criticized by this, also tend to be games that sell really well. Think Sony exclusives like Uncharted, TLoU, etc.

Some of the most beloved games by the communities are also story heavy, like Bioshock, Mass Effect, System Shock, etc. These games I mentioned have passable gameplay even when they were released, case in point, whenever you talk with someone about these games, they won’t talk about the gameplay, they will talk about the twists, the characters, etc.

Then there are games that are the antithesis to this post: interactive movies and visual novels. Quantic Dream’s games (detroit become human, heavy rain, etc) despite all their faults, sold well. Telltalle’s put their foot in the industry with the first season of The Walking Dead, and they would still be in business today if it wasn’t for their one trick pony game design and biting more than they could chew. Visual novels tend to be in the grey area and some people argue they aren’t games at all, but some do feature gameplay, and people don’t play those for the gameplay I can promise you that.

I do share the opinion that many publishers & studios in the gaming industry have the wrong idea that they need to be like the movie industry and have cinematic games. They don’t. But the demand for those types of games exist too

But I want to defend my -ism

I don’t have a habit of sharing identifiable information on the internet, but that goes doubly true here.

While using another instance, the one with the bee theme, I deleted a comment that I made sometime sooner. Out of curiosity I checked that same thread from the other instances, and there was one where my comment was still showing up.

Now, that comment wasn’t anything special. I said something wrong and found out later, so I deleted it.

But what this means is that, if I share something I shouldn’t, I don’t trust that every instance will delete my comment.

Strongly recommend this one. It’s also available for chromium, Safari, and iOS

This is a trick question, the real answer is that there weren’t real communist countries

I legit miss that feature when I’m using other PCs

It was the inverse for me. Windows 7 was always a nightmare to set up drivers, it was common to manually download the wifi drivers from the laptop’s brand website. I groaned whenever someone asked me to help set up their PC.

Windows 10 just works out of the box. The only downside for me is aesthetics, I always preferred Aero.

Just correcting because your comment insinuated that google doesn’t have significant influence over android, which is far from the truth. They could as well own it.

I didn’t mean to dispute or address the rest of the comment.

The Android Open Source Project isn’t owned by Google

One of those things that technically is true but in practice it isn’t. Just like chromium. Google is the main influencer of the project and it’s naive to think otherwise.

the symbol was making me think it was a cryptocurrency

I can see that you’re enthusiast and care about firefox, it’s thanks to people like you that these tools get better. But me, for lack of better words, can’t bring myself to care that much about any piece of software that ain’t related to my job, nevermind reporting issues. I’ll use whatever gives me less trouble in my personal time, if in the future things change for chromium, I’ll come back to firefox.

When I get home I’ll check my extensions and pass you the ones that don’t exist for firefox. Right now the only one I remember isn’t really an extension, it’s the text to speech function of Edge, that uses their AI voices.

Back when I was studying computer engineering I was also an avid fan of firefox and I also kept hearing and parroting those lines. Eventually I gave up and stuck with chromium based browsers. (Also because of other reasons, like some extensions only being available for chrome, html games support, etc)

US and portuguese governments are in different leagues. I would assume that yours has better funding and spends more on their virtual infrastructure. I doubt they are comparable, but it is possible that they fixed those issues that I had meanwhile

Portuguese IRS and Social Security websites. It’s been years since I tried to access them through firefox though

Chromium based browsers tend to have less issues. I have to use some government websites that have features that won’t work on firefox

Sorry, could you repeat that? Slower, if possible

Can’t tell if this is a shitpost or not
