I agree, I don’t think there’s anything Sony can do about the cost. Manufacturing costs aren’t going down over time like they used to in the past. That’s why there haven’t been any price cuts this gen.

I think the PS5 Pro was just a doomed concept to begin with. There’s nothing they could do to make games look noticeably better without making the console outrageously expensive or requiring devs to do an unreasonable amount of work to support it.

Ah yes, the very real and reliable website we all know and love, the-independent

Yeah I’ve noticed that there are far fewer job postings these days than there were a few months ago.

I can’t tell if this is a liberal or conservative meme, since both sides call the other side fascist.

This is a misleading headline. The survey question asked if you know any friends OR CLASSMATES who have generated AI nudes. If just one kid in a large school generates AI nudes and a lot of other kids find out about it, then those kids will answer yes on this survey. So this statistic doesn’t do a good job of indicating exactly how widespread this is.

As someone who actually bought this game, I can confirm that it’s not good. The main issue is that there’s not nearly enough content to be worth the $40 price tag. It just has a few PvP game modes and that’s it. It’s basically like paying $40 just to play the PvP portion of Destiny, except worse because you don’t get to build your own character.

Very mysterious. I wonder if she knew what the baggage room was for, or if she just wandered in there. Hoping we’ll find out more details.

I’m not into celebrity gossip, but from what I can tell based on people I’ve seen who are into it, I think it’s less about the celebrities themselves and more about enjoying gossip in general. If you and your friends are really into gossip, but you don’t have anything new to say about people you know in real life, you can gossip about celebrities instead. It’s just a thing you can enjoy talking about despite not having any actual connection to it.

Can someone please explain? What would cause VS Code to show an image like this? Is this related to a plugin? (I don’t know what a docstring is)

I’m 32, I bought a cassette at the last concert I went to. (I generally prefer vinyl, but I don’t wanna buy a vinyl before a show starts cuz then I have to awkwardly hold it for the whole show)

I’m confused, does this mean that an ad can show the URL “google.com” even though clicking on it will take you to a different URL? Why doesn’t Google just make it so that the ad shows the actual URL that the ad links to?

It’s impossible to predict which new multiplayer games will be successful and which ones won’t. It’s so risky for developers to even try making them nowadays. Even games that seem successful at first (like The Finals and XDefiant) struggle to maintain much interest over time.

Anyways, I like Overwatch but I’ve gotten bored with it over the past few years, so I’m potentially interested in Concord. I’ll keep an eye on it. (I was aware that there was a beta, but I thought it was pre-order only so I didn’t check it out)

The two examples of misogynistic memes in this article are really tame IMO. It’s the type of humor that teenage boys have always had, long before the existence of social media. Don’t get me wrong, I definitely think social media algorithms are having a major negative impact on society. But I don’t think content like this is the problem.

Interesting, I didn’t know there were so many assassination attempts in the past.

What kind of trash tier journalism is this. Genocide is a real, serious issue. You can’t just call something a genocide metaphorically, that’s incredibly disrespectful.

I remember using ChaCha. Good times

Apple could easily do the bare minimum to keep regulators at bay while still keeping the experience as shitty as possible so that Android will continue to look bad. For example they could refuse to implement reactions or typing indicators, or they could even deliberately compress videos. I’m expecting the worst until we see otherwise.

I just subscribe to Rotten Tomatoes Trailers

I must be way out of the loop, cuz I had no idea this was possible. So does this mean the Facebook app on my phone has permission to view all of my network traffic? Why do Android and iOS allow this? Shouldn’t that be a special permission that can only be granted explicitly?
