Wasn’t he Argentinian?

But mom it was my turn to write this comment!

You can create channels for people to join with Steam?

What’s a good alternative that allows easy instant message, voice and video calls, and makes it easy to group my friends by game?

The thing is that there are different target groups here that seem to disconnect. The gamers and tech dudes who want/have all the latest hardware and want to play every game maxed out aren’t the people affected, yet somehow they’re the ones who chime in for these discussions.

My low end thinkpad from 2013 doesn’t need windows on it for any reason, so why bother being offended that it now can’t have a supported version?

Isn’t Edge also chromium?

Sorry brother, not my problem. I was born well after those events occurred and so did these people.

Solving the problem of having an advantage based on race is not going to be solved by giving “the right” people an advantage based on race.

Economic factors should be the most weighted if any advantage is needed to be given.

I think the way your commenting is wrong.

Are you including the fact that $100,000 in the 1950s is more than $1million after accounting for inflation?

According to some quick googling, $1,300,000 is the modern equivalent of $100,000 in 1950. That would put you in the top 5% earners (and very nearly in the top 1%). According to the IRS, the top 5% contribute about 65% of the tax burden.

The top 25% make up about 90% of contributions, but that starts around $70,000 annual income.

Obviously, but we’re talking about a really, really small subset of users that probably would earn Microsoft less than a week of coffee in their corporate office.

People who are technical enough to get around the system requirements to install windows 11 on a system that doesn’t meet the minimum requirements is most likely technical enough to upgrade their own computer.

How does that make any sense? Does Microsoft get a cut of sales for component upgrades?

There aren’t even 2.9billion people in the US.

Anticheat will have to just come from other methods that people will also hate.

Imagine, for example, if they required a form of government issued ID and the account was tied to you specifically. Despite privacy nightmare that it is (plus other issues, especially around globally accessed games), bans would have significantly larger impact if they’re tied to a real-world identity.

If you’re going that far you could probably just pull an old cached version of the page from before it was deleted

I’m with you on embracing the privacy nightmare to kill off cheaters in games. Tie an account to a real identity and that problem will quickly reduce.

I think there’s a happy middle ground where deletion just disassociates the comment with you. It will show (deleted) or something but the original text remains.

Maybe there should be exclusions for personal or identifying information in such a system.

The loud minority is really loud.

I’m with you on this. I prefer a dimly lit light mode to dark mode even at night. The white text always seems fuzzy and uncomfortable for me.

You guys remember that world of warcraft episode of south park?

This is him.
