I don’t even see how it’s possible to stop someone from using social media until they’re 18 unless they truly don’t want to.

You badly underestimate the proportion of people who have never heard of Mastadon.

RIP Mario and Luigi

Oh you’re in for a treat. I’d really recommend playing the original Paper Mario first if you haven’t already.

In nearly 17 years at Valve, Wood helped build and ship the company’s most notable titles, including Left 4 Dead, Left 4 Dead 2, Portal 2, CS:GO and both episodes of Half-Life 2. He was a founding member of the CS:GO project and worked on that series for six years; he was pivotal in crafting Portal 2’s co-op mode, and he created choreography and combat scenes in Half-Life and Left 4 Dead. Level design was one of his specialties.

Some phones have more RAM than a Series S? Wow.

They can and should spend less on anti-piracy measures to become more profitable.

You mean by making a better service?

They forget pirating video is really really easy

Accepting a ton of money from Google to make it the default search engine isn’t selling out to them. Any concerned user will know how to change the default.

Dreams do come true

Bitwig Studio is more expensive but also has full Linux support and is made by former Ableton devs

Holy shit someone tell danny brown to save his raps

It was the best. I have tried most reddit apps but that one could be customized exactly how I wanted and it was great. Definitely one to keep an eye on.

Is the community really big enough to necessitate a mega thread?
