Valve bans all Steam games that force players to watch advertisements [edit: Not a new policy, see comments] in c/games@sh.itjust.works

Yeah I don't play very many mobile games due to ads. I'm just picky AF.

I have all those games and Stardew Valley on my phone and tablet on my devices.

It seems that people like being in crisis, rather than having stability. in c/whitepeopletwitter@sh.itjust.works

Republicans control the senate and Congress and even the Supreme Court. I think the Dems have had a limited window where they've had enough control. Not to mention when they have had some control they had members of their party like Sinema and stuff which have controlling votes.

Why do people faint at the sight of plain-text code? in c/programmer_humor@programming.dev

I dunno, whitespace is a programming language and I don't know who that's for :P

Who's going to watch departure times on the departure board? Let's use it for ads! in c/mildlyinfuriating@lemmy.world

It's genuinely jarring because some places don't organize it logically so you're scouring the board and it switched and you gotta figure where you were ... makes me wanna slap the person that came up with this idea.

I've had high fees but things are hidden, like, increased prices, tips, fees and stuff? I got my license last year so now I can drive on my own to get stuff but being in the burbs without transport in these poorly designed towns blows.

Co-op campaigns are a rarity these days, and that should change in c/games@lemmy.world

I don't mean to advertise but I do watch this channel for inspiration gaming sessions with friends: https://youtu.be/ViCP7O9q-Vk ( co-op bros)

Yeah I mean, I love how people keep piling on the Dems for it. It's the voters and Republicans to blame really...

I was a bit contradictory to the hatred towards the rainbow logos on websites during pride month. I'm an ally myself and not a member but like, I've worked at companies and I know that there were employees that are gay that were really excited about showing these logos for that time.

That being said, after all this news of companies dropping DEI and going full mask off. I think I understand fully understand now. Urgh.

I think January 6th did actually work though.

OpenAI is so cooked and I'm all here for it in c/techtakes@awful.systems

I think I remember Jeff Bezos in "The Everything Store" book seeing a price they charged for AWS and went even lower for growth. So there could be some rationale for that? However, I think switching AI providers is easier than Cloud Providers? Not sure though.

I can imagine the highest users of this being scam artists and stuff though.

I want this AI hype train to die.
