Well, Bluesky has managed to chase two important voices off its platform, either through berserker moderation or choosing to roll with pile-ons from shitty people. I'm not sure how much use this place is if it's gonna be just as bad as every other social media site in the aspects that matter.

I have had basically every generation of the Google Chromecast over the years (1st, 2nd, 4k, and now TV Streamer) and while I love the things, I don't think a single one of them has actually succeeded in initial setup without a bunch of arcane shit and arguing with the fucking broken Home app

This is week 7 of the saga of me trying to track down a lost package from Japan. If you're wondering, the previous part of this thread ended with... a suggestion that I utilize their tracking page. Every business that handed over their support to AI needs to burn in hell.

Between this and the all-in-on-AI shit, I will go out of my way to never purchase an NVIDIA product again. Of course, that may end up being a default position because NVIDIA has basically murdered the PC builder market.

Subnautica 2 has hit Early Access on Steam If you quit following the legal drama, the court ruled against Krafton and for Unknown Worlds the TLDR: the more copies it sells before Sept 15, the more Krafton eats shit (up to that $250m bonus) so go buy it, out of spite for Krafton if nothing else

In an organization that puts forward being a safe space, this should be an insult and affront to the entire community. Fuck your NDAs. Silence is complicity. Name names. I don't care if it's fucking Cool Matty himself. If it's truly that bad, it deserves nothing but purification by hellfire.

now that "fuck Kansas" is popular on bsky I feel like pointing out that Kansas is/was a decent purple state until the GOP got the slimmest majority right on a redistricting year and then gerrymandered the ever-living fuck out of it, just like the minority-ruled Southern states we're all sick of it

I only knew Shayy in passing — I got put in a GDQ room with him once like 7 years ago and they seemed all right then — so I don't have any comment on that situation other than I'm appalled. But I have to note that this is yet another case in a very bad pattern that I've noticed way too much.

in case you were wondering if Polygon had been fully ground down to AI slop and/or the most useless writers alive, wonder no more they actually opened an article with this
from Polygon coverage: "Announced at Gamescom's Opening Night Live, Battlestar Galactica: Scattered Hopes dares to ask: What would happen if the Cylons — a race of cybernetic sentient beings who have turned on their human creators — won in their attack against humanity?"
