  • Isn’t Texas getting more and more purple? I think Biden only Lots by 5 percentage points. Lots of tech people, California emigrants, and “east coast” educated types moved to the cities there (like Austin).

    Granted Texas is huge so the cities play less of a role in the overall state picture.

    It might not be a swing state yet, by I don’t know that it’s as entrenched red as it used to be.

    I honestly think that a lot of the bullshit about abortion is an attempt to force those blue voters out of their state because they are scared they are losing their grip.


  • People have an expectation problem.

    University’s are about education not job training. If you need to understand the difference think sex education vs sex training.

    Computer science, law school, and other degree fields aren’t (directly) about getting a job. It’s about giving you an education, context, and teaching you how to think and research.

    It’s been distorted over the years, specifically by the last two generations whose parents basically said “you have to go to college to get a job”.

    There is value to computer science education. That foundation is important to making better developers and better software.







  • Hal saying “I have aimbot I can’t shoot. I can’t shoot” because he’d basically mow down everyone, then when his teammates got knocked, he was like…okay nvm lemme one clip you guys.

    Hilariously, there is a chance aimbot wasn’t on when he one clipped the caustic (and that it was just straight aim assist on controller).

    Can you imagine if the hacker was more clever and didn’t make his cheats obvious for genburten?

    Everyone was on the lookout for it the next game. But what if he just subtly did it to hal (one of the best if not the best players in the game) . It would be an even bigger fucking deal.

    Accusations of cheating or aimboting already happen with pros because they are so good. Imagine having some clips of hal legit aimboting (unbeknownst to him) in a finals lobby.






  • The under current of negativity seems a bit stronger here though imo.

    I guess when you have a huge portion of posters that self-selected to leave a platform in protest you get population predisposed to protesting and complaining about things.

    It gets a bit tiring to hear people see incremental change but shit on it because it’s not perfect or “it should have happened sooner”. I wonder if these people would ever be happy with anything?

    The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is today. If they get this rescheduled that would be a huge win.






  • This is so wild. Google allows side loading and 3rd party app stores…and that is the reason they were found guilty.

    Unlike Apple, Google allows people to download apps onto phones running its Android operating system without going through its official app store, but the company strikes deals with phone manufacturers to favor Google’s official app store.

    So because they strike deals to favor their store, even though they allow 3rd party stores to begin with, they’ve violated the SAA.

    Meanwhile, Apple who refuses to allow competition or 3rd party app stores is sitting pretty because…well, they haven’t “favored” their own store over rival stores. BECAUSE RIVAL STORES CANT EXIST. I don’t know how you could favor your store any harder than that??

    The legal shenanigans around all of this are frustrating to watch as a lay person.
