As a piece of software, nothing. It’s an open source browser, and has an added bonus of having many privacy settings on by default. Not even firefox can say the same, it comes with telemetry, pocket and whatnot out of the box.

But there are some fair criticisms about the company and its administration. For example, there was an incident years ago when you signed on a crypto exchange, it would swap the sign on link for their own referral link. They claimed this was an error and quickly patched it, but I don’t buy it.

You’ll quickly notice that a lot of people on lemmy passionately hate brave. So expect a strong bias and, as a result, truths but overblown, half truths and misinformation. Don’t ignore what they say but double check them.

Same, despite being in early access it’s already a lot of fun. Feels like the game that I wanted gamefreak to make but never did.

Even with good old wine, the friend is still not wrong

I’m hearing you, but where would you even stick it? There’s no hole

Yes

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

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

That’s part of the process. As we find out more fossils and new evidence, we understand a bit better how these animals worked and looked like.

This is not the link I was looking for but it also shows some revisions we did throughout the years:

Like moths to a flame lol

(I would also like to participate pls)

It doesn’t point you to a different folder, it’s the same directory as the local Documents.

What I suggested is that you could create your own shortcuts that fit better your needs, I didn’t say it would create two documents shortcuts. I’m not sure what you are talking about.

And hey, I was trying to give you tips on how things actually work. If you want to be antagonistic, fine, I’ll shut up then 🤐

Have a good one
