To be honest, other than the argument of “everything is political,” I get where The Verge is coming from.

When I was a kid about ten years ago, it felt like EVs were uncontroversial and just the next logical step for cars. I don’t remember nearly the same levels of backlash. People in my family on both sides of the political spectrum didn’t really care too much one way or the other on them.

Now it feels much more scrutinized, both by people on the right who don’t typically care about environmental issues, and some leftists who want transit instead. And that scrutiny tends to be pretty harshly worded.

Maybe it’s down to factors like the costs of EVs. They’re damn expensive so I could see why people would get more frustrated at them. Though how they’re “woke” escapes me.

Dickinson, however, said internal studies showed some 88% of his civilian workforce would not leave Colorado Springs for Alabama.

wait, it’s all enshittification?

always has been

don’t do this unless you’re intending to end your relationship lmao, this would actually be panic inducing.

Keep in mind there’s everyone not in tech. Loads of people probably use their iPhone and MacBooks, or windows and android, or some other combo - might never even look up a single Linux distro, or think about what servers are.

Control center via the side button has been persistently frustrating to get used to. Feeling like a boomer (in my 20s?!) but I consistently swipe up, get to the useless screen below the face, curse at my watch, and then hit the side button to open control center.

Every. Single. Time.

And I’ve been using this since the betas started.

Going by this commenter this seems like a nothing burger.

Obviously, fuck this CEO for all he’s having occur to Unity, but the stock sale doesn’t ultimately seem that important or relevant.

I’m not really sure what to make of this - I’ve been hearing people both bring up that he sold stock in isolation, and I’ve heard others say this is part of a routine pre-planned stock sale. Presuming he’s not performing obvious inside trading, I imagine it’s the latter.

I know capitalism bad and unity CEO bad, but is there actually anything to this? If not, why does this keep getting brought up? (I mean this as an actual question, not loaded)

Death Stranding is super interesting to see. Hope this marks a new era of decent mobile ports.

You can connect up a controller + mount your phone to the controller - may not appeal to someone with a Steam Deck or similar, but I could see the appeal for normal people who wouldn’t have that.

I just swapped from NVidia to AMD, since Proton was not working under NVidia for Starfield at launch (and I’ve generally been unhappy using NVidia for a while).

I can finally also use things like Wayland where NVidia just doesn’t support it well enough to be a good option (e.g., weird issues with full disk encryption unlock screen, no night light support)

I know CUDA and productivity apps might push you in the other direction, but if your main priority is gaming, I suspect AMD will be nicer. My first impressions is that it plays way better with Linux and reduces headaches that shouldn’t exist but you’ll deal with under Nvidia.

The traffic argument is so infuriating. When will American journalism, and Americans at large, realize the very simple truth: no large city in the US will ever exist without traffic, without a fundamental shift from our car-centric culture and development to transit-oriented?

Isn’t it a shame, then, that you won’t really be able to do this unless you’re a developer with a Mac who can sideload it. Almost certainly visionOS will have the same draconian restrictions that get placed onto iOS’s App Store, and almost certainly no sideloading for non-developers either.

This headline just kinda depresses me. It’s super cool work that everyone should get to mess with, but it seems like Big Tech is intent on allowing for zero fun, all in the name of security and anti-piracy.
