Absolutely, this change makes it harder for people to quickly scroll away ads at the top & for ad blockers to seamlessly hide ads. With ad blockers your first page will be mostly empty & make google more annoying to use.

In your guys opinion, is that good or bad? Privately funded would mean proprietary & profit driven implementation for such a crucial technology (if successful). I personally don’t like it.
Oh that’s interesting, I wasn’t aware of this. Is it an unspoken policy? Or its an over reliance on “innovation first” pseudo-management?
Google often feels like a disorganized company with constantly shifting priorities, and a big reason behind that is the lack of top-down initiatives from the CEO. That means the real driving force behind most projects at Google are mid-level executives who show up with grand plans and then leave—either in disgrace or triumph—when those initial plans run their course.
Makes a lot of sense. There doesn’t seem to be a unifying strategy behind anything google does. I also think theres a vicious circle going on here: google has a loyalty problem, which could be solved by long term thinking, usually done by loyal employees, but employees don’t stick around long enough.
Also seems like a shitty get-outta-jail-free card. With no design in place, timelines and acceptance criteria can’t be enforced. “Of course we’re done now, we just decided that we’re done!”
Wow all those rumors Apple was making a car were true
True, but that’s like one episode, for the first time. Bluey’s “Baby race” gets me every damn time :'(
Damn right. Breaking Bad never made me, a grown man, cry uncontrollably. 9.6/10

Nope. I remember i had added deus ex human revolution & assassins creed 2. I would open steam to open up uplay to open up the game. 14 year old me thought I was a “hacker”
Didn’t steam have a feature to add non-steam games to your library? Ofcourse it didn’t support all the steam features + it would allow steam gather data about “less-than-legal” copies of games associated with users 🤷
My dumb ass kid brain put all my “alternatively sourced” games to it thinking I was cool
If I had to guess why it didn’t have split screen was the open world. My guess it streaming assets from two different places on a huge map was costly to do twice (memory wise). Atleast when it was designed/launched.
