I have an m1 Mac and the Rosetta 2 layer is insanely performant. There is some performance loss but I'd hardly call it significant. It's imperceptible to me.

Haha exactly. People shop at Walmart because they work at target and don't make enough money to shop at Whole Foods.

Introducing a new continent submerged beneath the ocean, challenging conventional ideas about continents.

The conventional idea being they must be above freaking sealevel???

I'm sure I can find a bunch of "continents" if I highlighted the least shallow parts of the ocean.

The number of people taking this wayyyy too seriously is incredibly high.

This is absolute horse shit. There is a stark difference between the two parties. One has a president in the white house who is about to join the picket line for the UAW strike, who made sure the rail union got what they asked for, who tried to wipe out college debt for millions of Americans (that was fought and blocked by Republicans because...reasons? But let's bail out the next corp or mega bank when they do some shady subprime shit).

Functionally, republicans are doing everything they can to directly or indirectly fuck over wage earners and the Dems, while not perfect by any stretch, are at least attempting meaningful changes. Hell, a few republican states are peeling back child labor laws. They are also torpedoing the education system and running off good teachers.

Name a Democrat run state that's banned books, or passed ridiculous laws for teachers to follow.

It's not even close. And pretending it is causes apathy. Or gives apathy an excuse to grow.

I never gave them a chance because their name screamed: scammy site designed to lure old people into file taxes there.

But last year someone on here or reddit kicked off a thread and tons of people were singing it's praises.

So I checked it out after TurboTax was trying to charge me like $230 to do my taxes.

It was easier than TurboTax and I got the same numbers at the end, so I decided to go with them. I ended up spending $10 or something for the ability to refile amendments later or something. Honestly, I wanted to give them some money because I want them to stick around.

It was a great experience. I'll be using them moving forward.

I'm pretty sure the Abrams is made in Kentucky. Another big reason Moscow Mitch is on board with sending aid.

Which is why steam went whole hog into proton development for the steam deck. It's brilliant strategy. Suddenly their game catalog is immediately available on the device. So users can play games they already own and will have access to hundreds of others day one.

I was intrigued but I didn't want to invest in it because of Google's history of killing great products.

They have some great tools for their cloud platform but at this point, I wouldn't go all in on any new product of theirs.

Because then the devs go under and you can't milk them for more money over time?

I'm not defending them, but why the fuck would they want to shut down developers? That just doesn't make sense.

It wasn't Nixon. It was truman. There are two lanes. It's still there. I got to bowl there a couple weeks ago.

That picture is of Nixon bowling in the white house and it's also hanging on the wall of the alley.

The Ukraine stuff has nothing to do with it.

It's the feds attempts to wrangle inflation (caused by dumping trillions into the economy during COVID)by hiking interest rates. Companies with barely profitable or even unprofitable business models used to be able to borrow money at stupid cheap interest rates. Now that it's 7-8% they realize they have to figure something out.

It was this silicon valley "trade profits for scale and then we'll figure it out later" approach. That only works when cheap loans could float you until you hit scale or figured something out.

But in Unity's case I think it's partially that (they aren't profitable), but partially related to the stuff apple is releasing and doing lately.

I think unity is trying to get in front of a possible boom in Mac and apple gaming. Charge dev $.20 per install so you insure you get a piece of every game install and avoid a confrontation with Apple about app store rates.
