Freedom won today! 🚫 No ChatControl in EU Now keep this snooping on people's private messages off the 🇪🇺 EU's agenda forever please



If you have a hammer, every problem seems to be a nail. I'm sad that big companies don't even pretend to care about the performance. The free ride on hardware has come to an end, but the results of the approach only start to manifest.

“Obesity is a disease of poverty,” RFK Jr.. Throughout human history, obesity has never been a sign of poverty; rather, it has been the opposite. I recall all the stories from Ukraine about the famine. And a century later, obesity is a problem. Incredible.

When developing a gameplay feature, think about the ways to test it: cheat commands, utilities, console variables, etc. Development testing is often overlooked, but it is an essential part of the development process. #gamedev #unrealengine


Just look at what the developer of File Pilot did. And see what people truly need from a file explorer. Not recommendations, but speed and responsiveness.

Windows 11 File Explorer will now directly show 'Recommended' files from local and cloud storage. The 'Recommended' section works automatically when your PC is linked to a Microsoft account. Microsoft says this feature will make it "easier to access files you frequently use or…

Believability & consistency > realism Nobody gives a shit about realism if it plays well.

Did you really have the original CD key?

When the yt premium became available in my country, the ads started to be unbearable immediately. I couldn’t last even a day. I thought back then that the price was not high enough to be any more painful than two ads per video. Still believe it’s a bargain for the money.

Never met a YouTube premium usr

That’s exactly what my first job taught me: it doesn’t matter how good you are. All that matters is how loud you are.

The long-form content helps not only to perceive the ideas better, but also teaches focus. Those who can focus on things long enough will eventually make a significant difference in the results.

Please, read books. Not just captions, or carousel posts, or what made it to the top of your feed. Read books. Long ones. Complex ones. You cannot build a mind with weight on the back of social media ephemerals. Intellectual depth demands patience.



I hope I will live long enough to see when big companies confess to having a problem and start fixing it. Instead, all I see is never-ending gaslighting.

Wanted to check on a patient, but Windows decided it’s update time. Thanks, @Microsoft for keeping us connected to the traditional ways of doing medicine.

It always amuses me how the Yakuza series manages to combine uncombinable things in one universe. Fight tiger? No problem Fight construction machinery? Perfect!
