This isn’t the first time they’ve pushed an update which crashes PCs.

IIRC, the development/testing is done on Windows under VMs rather than a sample of real world hardware, so it’s like “well yeah, duh, no wonder why you keep releasing updates that crash & freeze end users machines”

Between shit like this, Crowdstrike, and Microsoft Recall I wonder why anyone even bothers with Windows anymore. I have both Mac and Linux (both which I love equally). Both of them don’t seem to have anywhere near these levels of issues - Macs I would hope not given the eye-watering amount I’ve spent on it, and Linux I could be forgiven if it did give me hassle, but no.

Nevermind, I did a quick check on YouTube and the game runs absolutely terribly on the Steam Deck… so much for me supporting Konami, got that refund request in order.

I’m just downloading it to my Steam Deck as I bought advanced access to the game. I’ll let folks know how it goes.

And before anyone jumps on my neck about buying advanced access:

• I waited until review scores came out
• Even then I was originally planning to wait a few weeks until launch but with Steam refunds, I figured I can play for half an hour to get a good feel of the game
• Not only is this Konami’s first good game in ages, I dare say this is also the industry’s first good game in ages. RE4 was excellent, but the OG was great and Capcom at that point knew how to do well. I cannot say the same for Konami/Bloober.
• I’m someone who is lucky enough to have enough disposable income where a purchase like this doesn’t really negatively affect me financially.

I swear between vaccines and this, it’s like we’ve collectively gone backwards.

I do note this is an article based in US but I do wonder if it applies across the world - in the UK, chlamydia and gonorrhoea has gone up (link) with the bullet point at the end:

the impact of STIs remains greatest in young people aged 15 to 24 years; GBMSM; and some minority ethnic groups

For goodness sakes, lads! Put a rubber on it!!

Also from my experience the users on BlueSky are pretty much a straight swap from Twitter. And by that I mean nobody ever bothers interacting with me at all.

On mastodon if I so much as rip a fart on there, *someone* will engage with it. On BlueSky? Nada.

If you like what you see, strongly consider contributing to Servo financially: https://opencollective.com/servo

I did and I feel quite happy about it. Here’s hoping there is more web engines out there 👍

Well tbf I’m seeing the introdução hashtag trending on Mastodon (on my server it is second)

It’s such a shame that Rust developers feel like they feel unwelcome, especially due to a complete misunderstanding in implementation details.

Even worrying, this is kernel developers saying they prioritise their own convenience over end user safety.

Google has been on a Rust adoption scheme, and it seems to have done wonders on Android: https://security.googleblog.com/2022/12/memory-safe-languages-in-android-13.html?m=1

But also, there is a bit of a problem to adopt Rust. I think the memory model may prove challenging to some, but I do worry in this case that even if it was super simple, the existing C kernel devs would still reject the code due to it not being C and not willing to adopt a new language.

I hadn’t heard about Molyneux in a hot minute, and now I’m quite glad I’ve lived in a bubble away from that man’s crap.

Honestly, I don’t care if it is AI/not real, I’m glad that the man was arrested. He needs some serious help for sexualising kids.

NGL I was quite sold on the daytime building the town up, nighttime prevent it from being destroyed,

But then it went into customising clothes, food, houses, etc and it just lost me. I don’t care about that. I don’t want to micro-manage each aspect of my citizens down to the individual clothes/ingredient/brick etc.

I never understood why Molyneux is so big on the idea of customisation - it seems to get in the way of the games grander vision…

I mean, there is still Kid Rock…

… who am I kidding, the RNC don’t want to listen to Kid Rock.

YEEESSSSS!!! Man I love this game!!

Ah man! What a great choice!

It looks like the studio was behind Ghost of Tsushima, so here’s hoping further down the PS5’s lifecycle we get a sequel!

Nice choice! Would you like them to start afresh or would you like them to continue on from a specific game?

I’ve heard a fair bit about this game, but never really played it. I may try to get a copy for my Steam Deck. Which one would you recommend for a first timer?

There was a time where Elon Musk (EM) was pretty much a nerd darling. The real life Tony Stark.

I don’t know where you are, but in the UK the positive image dropped quite quickly once he called a British cave diver a pedophile over the remarks said cave diver (Vernon Unsworth) said that EM offering his small submarine to help the Thai cave boys was a “PR stunt” and also to “stick his submarine where it hurts” (link). Admittedly the latter was harsh words, but to then go ahead and call a British person in Thailand a pedophile (obviously referencing Gary Glitter) was incredibly childish, petty, and virtually made a lot of Brits distrust EM as well as see him for who he really was from the online tantrum.

I do feel sorry for those who have been suckered into thinking EM isn’t some narcissistic arsehole, although the number is dwindling (a personal highlight was when he got booed after Dave Chappelle introduced him to his audience in San Fransisco)

WAKE UP, SHEEPLE!!

(sorry, couldn’t resist)

It’s genuinely impressive the US has spent more in Q1+Q2 than it has in 2021 and previously. A very good turnaround!

I think the US is taking this green energy seriously as they really want to be at the forefront of whatever new technological revolutions that shake out from green energy investments (as opposed to, say, China).

Whatever the reason, this sort of race is ultimately a good thing for humanity as a whole.
