I wouldn't say giving Harris a 50.4 percent chance of winning is predicting her to win. That's effectively a coin toss.

I'd love to get another singleplayer game as well, but I've accepted that Valve is just unpredictable. I'm sure they haven't given up on Singleplayer and we'll get another singleplayer game... at some point. Their previous game was the fantastic Half-life Alyx after all.

It's the one silver lining Denuvo has: It's a subscription. So publishers are incentivized to remove it eventually.

The word "AI" has been used for way longer than the current LLM trend, even for fairly trivial things like enemy AI in video games. How would you even define a computer "thinking on its own"?

Man wolle die Legalisierung nicht mitten im Haushaltsstreit beschließen, wie sehe das denn aus.

Es würde so aussehen, als ob die SPD trotz der vielen Fehlschläge immer noch handlungsfähig genug wäre, um zumindest einige ihrer Wahlversprechen umzusetzen. Aber nein, lieber schießt man sich wieder ins eigene Bein.

France certainly has a social problem, with immigrant-descended populations often living precariously in crime-ridden banlieues, relatively isolated from the "indigenous" French people. These are great conditions to breed extremism.

But I'm not sure you could go so far as to say that there's really a terrorism problem. Of course any terrorist attack will be a huge thing in the news, but looking at the bigger picture, it still happens rather rarely and France is overall a pretty safe country.

Never would have called him a favorite of mine exactly, but a channel I used to watch was Shadiversity. Had some interesting videos on medieval life and castles. These days he seemingly only does "let's test this wacky weapon" videos and has a terrible second channel where he whines about "woke culture".

We don't need to ban every single bit of plastic. It's fine to keep it where it's absolutely necessary. Some of the examples you provided definitely aren't necessary though, like individually wrapped cutlery (wtf) or beverages (can use glass).

The whole point of Cyberpunk's setting is that it's a capitalist hellscape. The corpos don't care about the environment or setting up a nice public transport network. And of course there is also the gameplay perspective, riding a train in a videogame gets very boring very quickly.

MrBeast and his many imitators. Don't get the appeal and the constant shouting voice is very annoying to me. I guess I'm just too old.

Sounds like MLM bullshit at best, or something illegal like being a money mule at worst.

They'll soon be forced to allow sideloading, in the EU at least. Should open the doors for proper alternative browsers.
