  • Thanks Google, I hate it. At least the udm=14 trick and website still works, at least until google decides to stop supporting that feature. Definitely going to be using that more and more if this becomes the default google experience.

  • Advertisers Aren’t Thrilled With Zuckerberg’s Embrace Of Hate Speech

    Jump

  • I don't have much faith in advertisers starving Zuckerberg of cash. Unless there's an exodus of users from Facebook, Instagram, and whatever else Zuckerberg owns then there's not going to be any pressure on advertisers to abandon those sites.

  • Valve dev says SteamOS isn't about killing Windows: 'If a user has a good experience on Windows, there's no problem'

    Jump

  • That "If" is doing some heavy lifting in that sentence. Really interested to see where SteamOS goes in the future.

  • Valve must address swastikas and other hate on Steam, writes US senator in a letter to Gabe Newell

    Jump

  • Curious what industry standard Senator Warner is judging Valve against because a social media site, which Warner is comparing Valve to, being filled with Nazis and the far right feels like the standard, even if some sites at better at quarantining them than others. Also, "intense scrutiny" from Congress is kind of an empty threat at the best of times, but especially when Congress is about to be run by the sort of people who aren't going to see this as a problem.

  • Good. Still not completely sure about moving from one corporate site to another, but good to see more and more people are moving away from Twitter.

  • Doing things and not spiraling is about all we can do at this point. I suppose it depends on the things you care about or want to prioritize The massive cuts to government spending Trump has talked about are inevitably going to impact services like Social Security and Medicare so mutual aid resources are going to be important for a lot of people:

    If you're concerned about what will happen in places like Gaza and Ukraine there are charities that are helping those affected by those conflicts:

    Finally, if you are not in a position to donate money then there are ongoing election efforts that need volunteers. At this point that's mostly ballot curing, helping voters sort out issues with their absentee or mail in ballot. Some of these ongoing elections are incredibly tight and making sure those ballots are accepted could make a difference, especially in low profile races:

  • YouTube tests removing viewer counts — here’s what we know

    Jump

  • Thanks Youtube, I hate it. Like I can see some arguments for taking away the view counter, even if I think it's a bad decision. But the date the video was uploaded? Who does that even help? I guess Youtubers will either need to start properly dating their videos or we'll just have to use context clues to figure out when a video was uploaded.

  • Intuit possibly succumbs to the Streisand effect

    Jump

  • Considering I would have never heard of this otherwise, yeah I think it's the Streisand Effect at work. But what a bizarre thing to want scrubbed from the Internet. Like it's not a particularly hard-hitting question and the CEO clearly had a prepared, corporate-speak answer ready. It feels like something that wouldn't have attracted any attention if they hadn't called attention to it. So, classic Streisand Effect I guess.

  • Users ditch Glassdoor, stunned by site adding real names without consent

  • What a breathtakingly stupid decision. Can't wait to see how it pans out for them.

    The return of Gamergate is smaller and sadder

    Jump

  • The thing that gets me about this is that it's always some nefarious outside group pressuring devs to make their games "woke" or whatever. It never seems to occur to these people that the people making the games might actually hold those beliefs and aren't being forced to put them in games at gunpoint. Also, did the guy complaining about Ragnarok play GoW 2018? The fact that Kratos isn't the same person he was in the old series is basically the entire point.
