I don’t think speeding up the launcher matters much. My argument is speeding up the launcher when EGS is not even close to feature parity isn’t all that great a use of effort. A clown car may be faster than a minivan but the van is still better for everyday use.

How is paying tribute to a king in the United States, a nation explicitly founded on the principle of no kings, not comparable to collaborous treason?

You’re confusing me shitting on Epic as defending Valve, I’m not. I am on record stating people are dumb to glaze Gabe so much when he is so rich he owns a yacht maker, not even just a yacht or two. That doesn’t mean Tim Sweeney and Epic aren’t shit. Tim is at the vanguard of pushing an AI first development pipeline so he can go fuck himself. A launcher loading slightly faster isn’t a big deal. Sorry if that opinion upsets you.

Yes, but also he is his own son so he did send himself. I will not be taking any further questions

Ah, damn I guess I fell for it. Thanks for setting me straight

I don’t see how the application opening somewhat faster is much of an improvement; they need to go after feature parity if they want to actually compete with Steam.

I was expecting it to be the smaller install base, but this is a good reason

Does your dog do a lot of skeet shooting?

Mostly because the Steele dossier was debunked if I recall correctly. His financial ties to a bunch of Russian oligarchs is definitely real though

It’s vibe coded, and what they actually need to do is build up their features

She definitely gives a mean old fashioned

They’re using AI as the main development tool by the sound of it, not a supplementary tool. If they’re anything like the AI ads I have seen lately it will look like shit. I have no trust that this will create a cohesive product.

It looks like it doesn’t fall down because number 10 above it is blocking it, So they covered it with OK in post so it didn’t look like he failed to hit that one

This is going to be a dumpster fire and I can’t wait to sit and watch it burn

They’re just reactionaries

Since when can the DOJ execute search warrants without a judge signing off on it?

This isn’t the same kind of situation as an administrative warrant, the type ICE is using, to my knowledge. Even ICE has avoided breaking into people’s properties to arrest people because those administrative warrants don’t cover that.

Surely this isn’t a fishing expedition…

I’m wondering what they claim they have that got a judge to sign off on this bs.

Sure, I’ll summarize what I remember of what Bakunin wrote the year before On Authority came out, What is Authority?, which you can guess by the name is an anarchist perspective on authority.

Engels claims organization requires authority, but it really only requires agreements, coordination, and sometimes rules; a strict hierarchy isn’t a necessary requirement for that to exist. Engels also says production requires obiedience, which doesn’t require an absolute authority as Engels asserts. Union elections, leaders accountable through recall votes, etc are also means of guiding production without relying on an absolutist revolutionary vanguard. The same goes for revolutionary leadership. It requires coordination, not domination by a central party.

It really boils down to do you think obedience is imposed or agreed upon. I’d like to live in a world where the workers have a voice rather than an authority telling them what they must do. It’s needlessly paternalistic and infantilizing in my view.

Treating Marx and Engels like prophets and not men with a mix of good and naive ideas is part of the problem. Just because he dismissed anarchism doesn’t automatically make it a dogmatic truth
