Newsweek was unable to independently verify at the time of publication whether the people on the boat were from the antifa movement.

Oh, fuck off. I'm unable to independently verify whether the people on the boat were Newsweek employees.

Well they're still blowing up kids with these things so idk if it's the most brilliant targeting technique

Win or lose, I'm not worried about how it looks in hindsight. The way I see it is we're doing the best we can with the information we have at this time. It wasn't looking good for him.

The effects of this change will also be much bigger than this election alone. It's a jump-start in rebuilding the identity of the party into something that might actually interest voters.

Maybe in the distant pre-cloud past, when sysadmins were still a thing, you'd expect a bigger staff to be needed to manage a bigger datacenter.

But a few devs who know how to spin up a thing with auto-scaling can accomplish a lot

It seems like such a lazy non-solution. Essentially telling shooters "Hey, from now on, you can only use ALL THE OTHER GUNS" as if that solves something.

First thing that came to my mind. This is probably not meant for general use in every situation.

I might even find it useful for language learning if it's multilingual. Sometimes it's exhausting having to constantly translate things, but I might be able to work my way up gradually with something like this.

I'm glad they're adding support, but I also feel like this is a hard one to sell to the general public. If it creates a better experience, word will get around about it, but going on stage and talking at length about how there's a new messaging protocol would have been a challenge for non-technical viewers

I just read they decided to default it to off. They should remove it entirely imo, but with this move, it costs IT departments $0 and 0 hours of their time to worry about.

I think business + government + education usage is more important for them than personal, and as long as this costs them nothing, I doubt it makes a dent in anyone's plans. Could have been an apocalypse if defaulted to on though.

I don't think Steam supports any sort of sliding scale system and they have a price parity rule which would be broken by offering it elsewhere

They've raised over $80 million. Investor money is a poison, and the only antidote is enshittification.

I'd place Twitch in that spot before Tiktok as well. Bordering on unusable for years
