What can I say, it kinda pisses me off that they set me up and can't even answer the question.
Good news is that since I'm easily replaceable the next guy can worry about the perfect apology.

That sounds like their jobs require no talent and are easily replaced. Is it so?

I thought you were saying ai was able to create that final book with an ending? I guess not.

Okay, now do a coherent book with themes and plot that carry through out the whole book.

Tried browsing Temu on mobile browser. Fucking impossible. They push the app so hard that the website is basically unusable after few clicks. Compared to them, Reddit's gentle reminder feels like a favor.
Anyway, turned me off totally from the site. If someone wants me to use their app when I'm potentially a paying customer, website or not, seems really suspicious. Seems like my instincts were correct.

Thanks for the tip! Agree to disagree about everything but I still I think your framing wasn't fair compared to the show in question. Have a nice day.

Don't you think this show will be a little more than a vague reference or a quick cameo? I think you're making a really disingenuous argument here.
And those cameos or shared-universe things should be negotiated anyway and probably are. It actually is also somewhat helpful for the show to share the universe with another popular show, otherwise they wouldn't do that. But this isn't that. This is them going "you liked Netflix's Daredevil, so here, enjoy". That's their selling point. It's not from the makers of Daredevil, it's the same Daredevil.

Makes no sense if it's the same premise, same major characters and basically the same recipe as the original -- which seems to be its selling point. But the mouse fucks over whoever it can.

It's more like a default platform seeing as even former PlayStation exclusives are slowly getting a PC release as well. And I did call Starfield Xbox/PC exclusive, not just Xbox.
It's probably not the word to describe what's getting released where and stems from marketing but it's commonly used in gaming so most understand its meaning.

Why do people behave as if Starfield was the first game not released on PlayStation?
Who is doing that? It's just blatantly obvious that it would've been released on PlayStation without Microsoft meddling and their games sell a shitload, I mean Skyrim has been chugging along over a decade now. So I'm not really sure how Starfield is irrelevant to Ms buying shit conversation.
It's not what being an exclusive means (let not get into linguistics here, I mean strictly the gaming industry term). I agree this specific case was anticompetitive but framing it as an exclusive just weakens this point in my opinion and allows to shift the debate away from it.
Away from what? Everyone knows what it means -- or maybe I don't, please enlighten me in that case.

So I don't remember where but I'd heard about Microsoft wanting to buy Nintendo long time ago. The suits are always spitballing.

And funnily enough Starfield being Xbox/PC exclusive is an example why their hoarding is bad for gaming, and why the Activision deal shouldn't pass.

40 second load times are pretty dreadful in a genre that by design has a lot of them.

Microsoft is a good underdog because they have infinite money. And a really bad market leader, I bet worse than Sony. It would've been way better for the industry to not let them acquire the big boys they have.

Fuck off. The tech got popular and public got educated on what makes it work.

Those of you not plugged into the Mastodon community may not be aware of the predominant reaction to Instagram Threads. This started when it was merely rumored, reaching a crescendo with reports that Meta had been talking to a few of the larger Mastodon instances under NDA, presumably to encourage them not to “defederate” with Threads when it came online.1 Let me describe that reaction for you, with only mild exaggeration:
When Meta announced Threads, their new Twitter competitor, they claimed in the very first paragraph that it would interoperate with Mastodon and other social networks based on the open-source ActivityPub protocol: The official Mastodon site responded with their own blog post to address frequently asked questions
I'm getting an itch to talk about hidden gems like Moon.
Here (kbin), Lemmy, Tildes... I hear Mastodon had a user spike. Is there something obvious I'm missing? I ask because I haven't felt the same mass of users that Reddit had. Obviously users have spread out, servers have been hammered, UIs have a learning curve and so on... But there might be other alternatives I haven't looked at that are worth that look.
