sukhmel , to Programmer Humor in What's everyone's favorite bug?

At least they don't corrupt the memory like 101-pedes

sukhmel , to Programmer Humor in What's everyone's favorite bug?

My favourite ones are compiler optimisations based on impossibility of Undefined Behaviour, like this one: https://stackoverflow.com/a/78751225/1122720

And time travel, of course: https://devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20140627-00/?p=633

sukhmel , to Lemmy Shitpost in it's right there 😖

Narrator: they absolutely did notice

sukhmel , to Games in Meta is closing down three VR studios as part of its metaverse cuts

Yeah, I eventually found a Wikipedia page about Amazon Game Studios, they still exist and make games, and it looks like they only make mediocre stuff even when they have chances to make something interesting (like King of Meat, that seems to be a well received game, but has awful name, is too pricey, and is almost unknown, making the online too small)

sukhmel , to World News in Russia threatens to ban GTA 6 unless this ' immoral content' is removed

Yeah, I'd say Russia is pretty chaotic at being evil

sukhmel , to Technology in I Can’t Sell You Laptops Anymore (video) (enshittification of computer repair)

$40 is now too much for an old but working laptop? That's crazy

sukhmel , to Lemmy Shitpost in humour

Well, it is an image. Technically

sukhmel , to PC Gaming in 'Turns out having your game be free on Epic is great advertising for Steam sales': New Blood chief says Blood West sold 'like 200% more' the day it was a freebie on EGS

No, not for pointing out

sukhmel , to Linux in The Windows Interface You Didn’t Like, For Linux

Yeah, I had in mind their office they changed every now and then to break compatibility with FOSS office, afaik this is not the only thing they did like that, but support for running old software usually was decent, true

sukhmel , to Linux in The Windows Interface You Didn’t Like, For Linux

A bit ironic when Microsoft struggles because someone else keep breaking compatibility. Although I would prefer it to keep trying because that would have been more choice and competition in the mobile OS land

competitor being so unimportant they can't give things away

What?

Besides, I think part of the issue is that you argue with different people as if they were the same people

I still think there is some communication issue, but I re-read your original comment and I am quite lost about what your point was: you say Valve is monopoly BUT it's not evil (from another thread you linked) and you don't propose to dismantle it. So, what should the readers do with the newly acquired knowledge?

If you want to warn, then warn directly, if you want to call to action, do so. If you want people to just think for themselves, you will get nothing except people thinking you fail to make a point and arguing with you because they came up with that result by thinking for themselves

sukhmel , to PC Gaming in 'Turns out having your game be free on Epic is great advertising for Steam sales': New Blood chief says Blood West sold 'like 200% more' the day it was a freebie on EGS

Yeah, I can't answer your question either, because I find it may be either hard or impossible to come up with an answer

sukhmel , to PC Gaming in 'Turns out having your game be free on Epic is great advertising for Steam sales': New Blood chief says Blood West sold 'like 200% more' the day it was a freebie on EGS

They seem to ask how to phrase the same thing in such a way that you can't come and reply that their tone is condescending.

Much passive, very aggression, I find it hard to side with people this snarky :(
