Heh. Nice

The Verge was a breathe of fresh air when it first launched. The rest of tech news had enshitified pretty well at the time. But now they’ve been around long enough to be the establishment rather than the disruptor

Yup, came here to say something similar. The author completely lost me when I got to the part talking down about Mastodon

DPaste.org - source is available and was created by an old coworker. I’ve used it for years

I’m fairly convinced this whole Doom game is just a way for them to prep the Id Tech engine for the needs of the next Skyrim game

I think the dedicated block to handle decompression is the biggest innovation the PS5 brought in, beyond M2 SSDs

I thought the story sounded unique and interesting. But now that I’ve realized it’s a turn-based RPG I’m way more hyped about it!

This looks fun. I’d love to try it, but I don’t see any console support 🙁

Of course it’s going to backfire. China will just make their own chips and probably outpace everyone at some point. They’re starting out behind, but they will catch up

I think another issue here is a side effect of the move to Software As A Service. With installed software you could run an old version nearly forever, but with SASS you’re always on the latest version
