Oh it’s definitely not just Google. Apple’s been this fucked since 2007. But since this is the Android community, it’s helpful to stay on-message.

Shatter this corporation.

Yeah, buried at the end. Any style guide (or common sense) will tell you to expand an acronym the first time it comes up.

DRM has a much more commonplace meaning that has also been a contentious topic for FOSS development.

I level the same complaint about online newspapers that cover local politics without bothering to specify where the hell they are. ‘If you already knew then you’d plainly know.’ Okay, what if I fucking don’t? How does one divine this information? If I search for Greenville or Jackson County, is your podunk locale the first thing that comes up?

DRM here stands for Direct Rendering Manager, not intentionally broken software.

Hate when articles treat three-letter acronyms as obvious and unambiguous.

Honestly, the comparison with the rest of those icons was the only part I respected. It’s a suite of cult minimalist bullshit. Which still doesn’t explain how nobody went, “that’s a sperm.”

Or at least, “why isn’t it blue or yellow?”

That logo is fucking terrible. Cult minimalism produced a red sperm and a disconnected semicircle. It reads as nothing.

The ‘classic look’ in dark mode still puts 90% of the interface in light mode.

No other complaints.

Surely it just means, that’s what they tested with. The minimum specs sound like the oldest machine they bothered to lay hands on.

Listed specs are not what’s worrisome about this project.

In WHAT FUCKING MANNER does this on-foot low-tech whack-people-with-sticks game resemble a sci-fi starship combat game?

The inability to describe any game except in reference to other games is infuriating enough, without forgetting to make the goddamn comparison!

“keeping our free societies ahead”

Why is my dog barking?

That is a terrible name.

The razor is: did you, the player, receive new content? Or did you get charged for permission?

Horse armor is fine. That’s how low the bar is. That’s how bad this abuse is. All microtransactions are “on-disc DLC,” where you’ve already been given the thing, inside the game you already paid for, but fuck you, pay us again. And again and again and again.

It’s the difference between Warhammer’s little plastic men being obscenely expensive, and Games Workshop expecting five actual dollars after every match to replace their imaginary bullets.

Fuck them kids. This entire business model is an abuse against people with credit cards.

Nothing inside a video game should cost real money.

The war’s been over since blue team and green team started releasing near-identical machines, for nearly the same price, at basically the same time. There are no consoles anymore. It’s all just computers. Some computers have shitty locked-down app stores.

Ooh, fair point. We don’t know that any of these options boot.

I cannot fathom having my shit together to such a degree that my bootloader has a theme.

‘We changed scope and it’s your problem’ does not parse.

Could Lucasarts not secure the rights for “Fistful?”

I mean, the cult of MBAs expecting miracles from the hot new thing is a pattern we’ve seen before. The functionality of LLMs does not match Sam Altman’s fantasies - but it does function. People are getting use out of this tech. But they’re vastly outnumbered by some mixture of optimistic experimenters and trend-chasing dipshits.

Paragraph one says things getting better is bad because what if we stop.

Paragraph two is bemoaning the abacus for ruining mental math.

Paragraph three blames a new gizmo for the system as it exists.
