Finally, a way to indulge in exhibitionism without having to leave the house!

You got a 2017 laptop with an A18 Pro chip? Wow that’s incredible!

That claim seems like it’d be trivial to fact check, and indeed does seem to be false.

Except for them to be directly comparable you’d also have to get a keyboard cover for the iPad, making it more expensive than the MacBook, and it’d still have one fewer USB port and no audio jack.

The problem isn’t just Americans.

In January, pollster YouGov released new data suggesting a majority of Britons now believe London is unsafe

This rubbish is spreading across the entire country and fuelling right-wing political discourse.

Don’t trust anyone who unironically uses the term ‘fake news’.

Last time I checked he isn’t from the UK

I do not want to see Weekend at BernAI’s.

I’m afraid you’ve failed the Voight-Kampff

Most people can’t tell the difference between a 320kbps mp3 and lossless, but hey if folks really want to waste their money on snake oil like gold-plated cables then I say let ‘em.

If you know what curl is, you’re not the target audience.

The people this is targeting don’t even know what ‘CLI’ stands for, but they absolutely will copy/paste random commands into their computer if they’re told it’ll magically fix something.

Pretty fascinating! I would’ve expected the dongle to be doing something more complex but, as the author says, it’s possible that these developers underused it.

Closer than I remembered, but console is still larger and projected to grow faster.

It’s hilarious that you think game development is a ‘cushy corpo job’.

Ah yes, all those game devs famously enjoying competitive salaries and rock solid job security.

Game development is hitting your head against a brick wall because you believe in the art form. Anyone who tells you they’re in it for the money is lying to you.

Yep. PC players tend to be very outspoken, but they’re easily outnumbered by the console market, and the mobile market dwarfs them both.

Eligibility criteria for the Irish version have not yet been announced, so at this point it’d just be speculation.

True, it doesn’t seem like something that would kill the business. But still, I would think the prospect of migrating an entire streaming service to a completely different platform might warrant losing at least a little sleep.

Isn’t all of Dropout.tv hosted on Vimeo?

Edit: yes it is

“Do not build your own app. Vimeo’s right here. I don’t have to worry about customer service. I don’t have to worry about legal compliance… Our budget can go to what actually matters to us and what we’re actually good at, which is content."

Andrew Bridgman, Chief Digital Officer at Dropout

that might age poorly

To be clear, I was being sardonic.

Doing things the right way is difficult, and I don’t trust governments to do things that might piss off Big Tech because of all the money tied up in that sector. Politicians seem more interested in appeasing the Musks and Zucks of the world than in actually helping people. So it goes.

Yes but this would require intelligent legislature and risks pissing off Big Tech. Far easier to make a few vague proclamations and then throw public funds at more useless age verification tech instead.
