    "It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it." -Upton Sinclair

    Fifa is getting paid so much they don’t care.

    Correction: Google and Samsung have said they’ll do that. Time will tell if they actually stick to their promises.

    Apple on the other hand has already done so for over a decade with no fanfare or promises.

    Check out the leaks from the Sony/Microsoft trial

    There are literally tens of millions of people who ONLY use their PS5 for CoD - a live service multiplayer game.

    A whole generation of people have literally never played a single player game and don’t know how to.

    People expect all games to be multiplayer with online live ops and events and a steady flow of new content.

    That’s why you need to have a 500 person team. Someone needs to be designing and coding the valentine's event for 2025 right now

    Grid scale batteries allow for better security by distributing storage across the network and lets us store renewable energy from peak hours.

    Cheap grid storage will be a game changer

    But what if the artist I choose to support turns out to be a creep later on? Do I keep the bought media or throw it out?

    And we have known for the last 100 years who will be the one to fuck around - we have prepared for exactly that.

    Just a small tidbit: every single bridge in Finland has been specifically rigged for easy placement of explosives to blow it up. And we practice doing it during our mandatory military service.

  • https://indieweb.org/POSSE

    I’ve been doing POSSE for a while now and it had helped me immensely by saving time and stress. Basically every time I post something on a 3rd party site I store the content locally. Currently only in Obsidian and some locally cached videos and articles (TubeArchivist and Raindrop) When I get dragged to the same argument or topic again, I can just grab my old comment, maybe edit/update it a bit and post it. For some stuff I have longer blog posts I can link to, for some they are images and graphs.

    Q3 firmware update broke Karabiner Elements

    Keyboard: Keychron Q3 ISO KNOB I had a working system with Karabiner Elements, I had mapped caps lock to be a hyper-key on macOS. Everything worked perfectly. Then I was stupid and updated to the latest firmware on the keyboard to 1.0.5 because it's the new shiny. Now I can't override the capslock key with Karabiner any more. I can see it's being pressed in the event viewer, but I can't capture the event. How on earth is the firmware bypassing Karabiner and how can I make it stop short of remapping capslock to a key that CAN be overwritten in firmware? Pretty much every other key can be overwritten at least from the dozen or so I tested already, it's just CAPS LOCK being special.
