Given the reality that Ferrari has not brought any significant upgrades to their F1 car for some time, John Elkann has no right to expect better performance from the car and the team.
This weekend shows that the car has no extra speed in it, despite the drivers trying to wring its neck.

The more I think about Elkann making that statement..

You, John, are a rich guy whose only claim to power is that you inherited money. You are not someone who demands respect. You have no special knowledge or skills. You are just a nobody with money.

Lewis is the G.O.A.T.

Shut up, John.

Verstappen's car set up low for the Sprint. They will raise it after the Sprint race, because that plank will not survive a full race.

Verstappen left a lot of his plank in the air on his first flying SQ lap.

I'm starting to be fed up with the process and I want to give up. But I already gave you 100$. It's a matter of principle, at least I want a refund on the fee if I can't publish it.

I can't ask an attorney to blindly review my app either because 1) I wouldn't know where to start and 2) I'm a hobbyist solo dev and this is absolutely NOT worth my time and money for a game I want to distribute FOR FREE.

So what can I do?

Do I have to blindly remove parts or assets until I understand what doesn't get accepted? Because I already tried with those that I thought could be an issue (e.g. an image that parodies the Indiana Jones logo) but I keep getting failures and I'm out of ideas.

@steampowered.com I keep getting my build refused due to "third party IP violations". I'm sure it's a false positive because everything in my game is my creation, but that's not my question.

I want to ask: how can I resolve the issue if you can't tell me WHAT triggered your system?

If Goran got suspended for the reason I think (sharing Palestinian accounts looking for help from a genocide) this place needs to clean house of their moderation. It’s been pretty obvious they are cut from the same mold of tech rotted, socially bankrupt nerd that has ruined every other place.
Bluesky suspended Goran Gligovic, the guy that makes nice art. Jesus fucking Christ Bluesky

There's a weird collective self-justification among reporters on this beat that their job is not to push back but to be stoic in order to observe an endlessly fascinating natural phenomenon. It's all nonsense. He is a public servant. Demand decency, and slap back hard and fast when you don't get it.
I can’t believe people in the room don’t push back. It doesn’t matter if he’s the president, part of holding him accountable is standing up to his bullying— especially if he’s doing it right in front of your face

Let's not confuse the people giving the stupid orders with the people who have to deal with following them, who are often good and decent people.

Can someone show the White House Press Corpse a montage of the reporters who covered previous administrations, the ones who weren't complete cowards?

Where is the UK democracy when the government can just change judges in an important case about that government's misuse of power without repercussions???

I deeply regret the UK leaving the EU - I feel the loss of the shared citizenship profoundly. It's a smaller, narrower, more lonely existence.

“Caucasian” as an ethnographic term for “white people” is obsolete and problematic. It’s discredited in serious academic use.

Blatant fucking corruption under rule of law

A Georgia prosecutor announced Wednesday he was dropping state charges against President Donald Trump stemming from his efforts to overturn the 2020 election, ending what was once considered the strongest criminal case against Trump.

It's 2029, and a Reform government has sworn in its first batch of politically appointed judges. Suddenly, the Labour Party remembers why jury trials mattered.
