I’m just a weird, furry, pan guy (cis he/him). I also have a big, blue username.
Currently on Earth for 8 years ensuring steps to unite humanity and usher us into the galactic civilization just so I can see my boyfriend again.

It’s wild that they want to replace the lowest levels of actual work with AI but the management positions that actually might be a better fit for AI replacement are perfectly safe.

I keep seeing this post and it just makes me think about a new Warframe that’s just a black suit with the Steam logo on the chest.

It’s been “Coming Soon™” for at least over a year and a half now, and according to THE CHART, “coming soon” = only two months. 🤷♂️

I need to look up the robot wars rules cuz I am wondering if humanoid bots are allowed… 🤔
I feel like a bot that could just pick up and toss their opponent would be the ultimate way to defeat any and all boring ass spinners.

No written order…
Do you really need an express, written order when there’s plenty of actual videos of his speeches where he talks about getting rid of various groups to thunderous applause?

- Comment on Microsoft is moving antivirus providers out of the Windows kernel. Hopefully anti-cheat will be next 2 months ago:
All I use my machine for is gaming, so not having cheaters in games far outweighs the odds of being hacked by imaginary bogeymen.
- Comment on Microsoft is moving antivirus providers out of the Windows kernel. Hopefully anti-cheat will be next 2 months ago:
I’d probably be okay with kernel level anti-cheats if they actually stopped cheaters. But they don’t. Hell, the best anti-cheat I’ve ever seen that actually works isn’t even made by the developers of the game; it’s a mod! Blue Sentinel for Dark Souls 3. All it does is check if the files a player you’re connecting to has deviate at all from your own, then prevents the connection if they are.

I was born in '85. IBM pioneered the idea of software licensing in the '50s.
- Comment on Reminder that you do not own digital games 2 months ago:
They don’t have DRM. That’s not the same as owning the game. If you don’t back up the games or installers yourself, and GOG goes under, you lose access to your library the same as if Epic or Steam going away.
You can back up your Steam and Epic games, too. You just need to be able to access your account to verify your license for most titles (but not everything; loads of games do not use Steam or Epic’s DRM, have no online checks to verify anything, and you can just copy the installation folder to another machine to play the game).

- Comment on Steam OS page gets a redesign, finally retiring the old design from the Steam OS 2.0 era 3 months ago:
I remember Steam Friends existed for a long ass time before TF2, but then they removed the service (like the tab was still there but it no longer connected to anything) for years and then when the orange box dropped, it also came with a massive update to Steam’s social stuff and gave us back Friends but also added Groups.
It always seems like they are working on these massive updates/changes/new things but not even rolling them out until it’s 100% finished instead of just adding things like 1 feature at a time. Which is weird, to me, because one of the defining things about Valve is their level of iteration. You’d think Steam would just constantly be evolving every other week as they try and test things on the general public and yet… They don’t. They’re like the only ones that don’t.
