There's something about Bethesda's (nowadays flawed) approach to an RPG that keeps pulling me back to #Starfield time and again. Especially on the OLED Deck :steamdeck:, even though I spend most of my time playing through GeForce Now. 👀

"In a completely unrelated note, Spotify is shutting down in Uruguay after the country passed a bill that requires fair pay to artists, as reported by MixMag. The company made threats to shut down when the bill was first suggested back in July and now it has followed through. A spokesperson for Spotify actually wrote Uruguay's Minister of Education, Pablo Da Silveira, to say that the country’s bill would force it to “pay twice” the amount of royalties to artists." "

I'm genuinely surprised at how XeSS appears to be shaping up to become the better upscaling choice in more and more games at lower resolutions, such as the :steamdeck: Steam Deck's 800p.

OFC, one does always buy into an #Ecosystem...

I think #Canonical should not #hamfist #Snap too hard and instead work towards a safe alliance to enshure portability of #Linux applications across Distros to replace the #RedHat dominance and avoid a #Duopoly if not #Tripoly for their own sake.

Which reminds me that @EU_Commission not calling out #RHEL and #Autodesk as #Market #Gatekeepers shows that those decisionmakers know shit about #tech.

Well, why should you invest multiple hours into an in-depth tech article about Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart on the Steam Deck when you can easily land on the top of Google results with AI-generated bullshit, like Sportskeeda does?

Musk failed to get the necessary permits to change Twitter’s building signage to X, and the police shut it down just in time for “er” to remain. #twitter #tech #elonmusk #x #twittermigration #twitterlogo #elon #musk


In response to threats to forcibly remove moderators if subreddits don’t reopen, /r/pics polled it’s users and has chosen to reopen after changing its rules to allow only sexy pics of John Oliver.

Malicious compliance at its finest. Way to go, fam!

Our current crap #tech funding and #dev agendas are a part of this extinction level event https://news.sky.com/story/world-has-lost-battle-to-stop-glaciers-melting-and-sea-level-rising-un-meteorological-chief-says-12898899

The last 20 years of #techshit has obviously been both pushing this problem and doing almost nothing to stop it. On the #openweb tech side, we are still being prats on his.

Please think about this #geekproblem, thanks.

So Google is now preventing people from removing location data from photos taken with Pixel phones.

Remember when Google's corporate motto was "don't be evil?"

Obviously, accurate location data on photos is more useful to a data mining operation like Google.

From Google: "Important: You can only update or remove estimated locations. If the location of a photo or video was automatically added by your camera, you can't edit or remove the location."

It's enshitification in action.

Twitter’s ad revenue is down 89% and not many users are signing up to its paid subscription. In April, it’s removing “legacy” blue checks and further prioritizing paid accounts.

For Disconnect, I explain that Elon Musk needs this to push more users to subscribe to Twitter Blue so he can pay his $1.5 billion in annual interest payments. But it doesn’t look like that’s going to happen.

This chart shows the percentage of female employees at big #tech companies (based on self-reported figures in 2021).

The percentages of #women specifically doing tech jobs is lower, given they make up <25% of those positions.

With the recent departure of visible female leaders in companies like Meta & YouTube (replaced by men), I’ve been wondering whether there are any women left in top roles at major tech companies.

I’m genuinely curious bc I can’t think of any. If not, why?

I think my time was about the phase-out for schools to teach real-life #tech at a young age. We had computer class and we'd have to use the iMacs for it. But then by the time I got to 5th grade, we all switched to #Chromebook . The switch the Chromebooks was bad because you're teaching kids how to use an awful interface they'll never use in the real world. Teach kids #macos and #windows . And teach the techies #linux as well!

Gotta give posthumous flowers to Jerry Lawson, the man who created the first video game console w/interchangeable cartridges.

It was a watershed moment for gaming. As this USA Today article notes, it was "the foundation for today's global video game market."

In his honor, there's a Lawson exhibit on permanent display at The World Video Game Hall of Fame at The Strong National Museum of Play in Rochester, NY
