The other thing that sucks about this stuff is even if an alternative takes hold, you'll pretty much always want to multi-stream if that platform is yet to unseat Twitch from its throne. This means you'll pretty much always have a lowest common denominator to contend with!
Hopefully things like stream.place takes off / someone is able to realize a sustainable revenue model outside of Twitch/YT.
Unfortunately a chicken/egg problem. Nobody wants to stream on alternatives b/c there are no viewers, viewers don't want to visit alternatives b/c there are no streamers.

They looked really dumb doing this, triply so after this White House meeting.
BREAKING: The House of Representatives voted 285–98 in favor of a resolution condemning socialism.

it is surely awesome that people can openly propose a scheme that has like a billion "this is double opt in. your phone number is not collected unless you consent and you cannot be found this way unless you consent"
and people are still saying "this is it. they're going to covertly steal your data"

"Find friends by phone" is a common tool in social networks. We're proposing a secure scheme and requesting comments from the dev community.
Goals:
・Double opt-in: you're not findable by your phone unless YOU use the tool
・Secure to enumeration attacks
・Resistant to decryption if compromised

I'm very excited for the new Steam Machine and especially the controller. However, I'd love to see a Steam Decklet that is like 3DS sized... I'm not crazy, right?
Sure my Deck is relatively comfortable to use but it'd be nice to have something even more portable that I can slip into my pocket.

Man, I don't even know how you begin to fight misinformation when shit like this is not only possible but:
- economically feasible for the majority of people
- requires little to no technical knowledge
- can be utilized without any guard rails/supervision
- exists in a media/tech illiterate society

When I first read this I recoiled a bit, but honestly this might be pretty awesome.
If you're able to "install" to your PDS, you could make AT apps a bit more throwaway. No worries about hosting, just build and release. You can just do things!
No obligation means low entry barrier means more apps.

A lot of people are freaking out over this 50 year mortgage thing but:
1) 30 years is *also* a shit ton of time
2) many people will refinance their homes to change rates and terms
3) You do not have to pay the minimum when you do have more money
4) people cannot afford any homes right now!

I think the discourse around this has been the most mind meltingly dumb shit I've ever seen on this website. And that's saying a lot considering what is considered "site drama" here.
The fact that people don't seem to know what the phrase "is often used" means is a big signal that we're cooked.

Mamdani is running for mayor, not governor, so Cuomo could just return to the suburbs. That's not why he says this.
This is basically an admission that he'd be so thoroughly embarrassed by getting his ass whooped *again* that he'd have to go into self-exile from the whole God damn state.
