With F1 testing underway, I'm really really rooting for Cadillac to do well in their debut season.
With that whole "they don't bring value to the championship" shit while Williams was withdrawing from races due to not having backup parts, them doing well would be a huge win for common sense.

Getting gaslit by multiple Linux users over my experiences with the community just reinforces why I will never use that software. I won't even use a Steam Deck or SteamOS device at this point because of this shit. I already don't like a "portable" device you can't put in your pocket anyway.

I appreciate DankPods ripping into the hardcore Linux userbase for being completely uninterested in helping anyone that doesn't know the OS inside and out in his latest video.
I will put up with anything Windows throws at me if it means I never have to touch Linux, all because of the userbase.

I really do feel like companies need to start banning people for starting the "What?" chant.
Miss me with the "freedom of speech" tag too. Freedom of speech does not mean freedom from consequences. If you're gonna make it worse for everyone around you, you shouldn't be at a wrestling show.

This site originally posted about the AI stuff for GOG, so I'm giving them shine rather than reposting the loudest boosted one.

Take his power away by leaving the platform. I don't care where you go. Just leave X.
Countries aren't gonna ban it because they're spineless too, so leave on your own accord.

Jeff is spot on, as per usual.
CEOs in the game dev space don't get to "grade" critics on their criticism until they experience the kind of vitriol you get for even remotely going against what the hive mind thinks.
I remember the backlash I got for being critical of iRacing in the 2010s.

Try a couple decades of shitty emails ranging from simple insults all the way up to death threats from idiot fanboys who can't handle you giving a game "only" 8/10 and see which one puts more calluses on your soul, dummy. You'd fold in six months or less.

If we're bringing in talent to AEW, I wanna see Tony bring back Leva for some Librarian shenanigans.
And maybe don't ghost her this time if you have to let her contract lapse.

If there isn't a potential new show to use all this new talent, we might have to have the conversation that Tony is doing the same thing that got WWE in trouble with fans years ago: Stockpiling talent with no real need or time for them.
Surely, Tony would be smarter than that. You'd hope.

The thing Trump and Bondi and everyone in the regime fails to understand is subtlety.
If they did ANYTHING they've done since the start of Trump 2 with any sort of subtlety, they would've won their battle long before now.
Because they want to do everything aggressively, they end up losing.

Scrolling through the photos of Pam Bondi's "Minnesota rioters," it's just hero after hero. Every photo includes a cowardly DHS agent with their back to the camera.
Bondi thinks she's going to win the propaganda war with this shit, but it's never been more clear that they're losing.

I think what pisses me off the most about Swen's "We need to rate critics based on their criticism" comment is his lack of awareness or lack of knowing when to shut the fuck up is gonna result in honest developers getting scapegoated and laid off by a company headed for the gutter. Major bummer.

Calling transphobia a 'gateway drug' to the far right undersells it. It's pure accelerant. Grimly fascinating to guess what crankery becomes any famous transphobe's secondary obsession, cos they all have one: 15 minute cities are fascism! Grok noncing is cool! ICE are good! We should kill all dogs!

They are, however, there to do a full retool if MLSE will let Brad trade pieces to do it. If they won't let him retool the roster, they're no better than Harold Ballard was as owner.

Berube rips sagging Maple Leafs after latest loss
TORONTO – Craig Berube isn’t interested in learning anything more about his hockey team. The former NHL enforcer believes the pieces are there for the Maple Leafs to make a playoff push and salvage their season. A disastrous homestand means that hill has become an even tougher climb. Long a doormat in the Atlantic Division, the surging Buffalo Sabres resigned Toronto to a third straight regulation loss at Scotiabank Arena with a 7-4 victory Tuesday that tied a bow on a forgettable Maple Leafs’ stretch — one potentially set to define what is quickly turning into a lost campaign — where they went an ugly 0-4-1 in their backyard.
