Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney is getting backlash after attacking Gabe Newell following the Steam Deck OLED price hike and saying he needs the money to buy more superyachts.
Valve says the increases are due to rising RAM and SSD component costs, but Sweeney wasn’t buying it.
“Valve needs the extra revenue to continue maintaining its megayachts.”
There was a study that came out around 2018ish that polled South Koreans and the majority said that NK has drifted so far from SK, that unifying Korea isn’t really viable any more and it would generally best if China just absorbed it.
I think we haven't quite absorbed that North Korea is becoming richer, they seem to have made big leaps since Covid. Pyongyang has more cars, people have smartphones (both via Chinese OEMs), they have a domestic ecommerce ecosystem, e-payments. All 'Chinese-style' development.
Battlefield 6 really could have avoided this whole “we hemorrhaged players and need to resuscitate our player base” thing if there was a server browser at launch.
And non adderal based maps. Would’ve been a nice touch.
Waymo’s drive around my city and yesterday I saw one get confused by construction barricades and turn into oncoming traffic at an intersection.
The other night I saw one remain stopped despite a green light.
I see these things fuck up basic driving on an almost daily basis.
Waymo is so good at saving lives that if it were a new drug in trial, it would hit the bar for being unblinded and made immediately available to the control group for ethical reasons.
@MorePerfectUS would prefer to keep killing pedestrians.
Linux sets rules for AI-generated code
After months of debate, the Linux community has agreed on clear rules for using AI-generated code.
Tools like GitHub Copilot are allowed, but maintainers have made it clear that low-quality “AI slop” will not be accepted.
> “Humans take the fall for mistakes.”
This means developers can use AI to help write code, but they are fully responsible for checking it, fixing errors, and making sure it meets Linux’s standards.
The decision is backed by Linus Torvalds and kernel maintainers

A town in Japan has canceled its cherry blossom festival due to badly behaved tourists
Authorities in Fujiyoshida say visitors were trespassing, littering, and defecating in private yards
The Japanese government shared a video promoting international tourism to Fukui Prefecture, which is well-known domestically for its dinosaur fossils and museum, but is not famous abroad.
They are hoping that foreign dinosaur lovers will visit.
New Year’s Goal is to not need to boot into my Windows partition at all. Kept it around for pretty much just Battlefield 6 but the game has completely shit the bed.
