You don't need an account to browse the steam store, you need one to verify you're a user before downloading/installing a game, or (obviously) buying a game.

> Are you worried Android is going to lose power users to iPhone? What are the alternative shops you're referring to here? We're not buying pastries. Are you 13 years old? Who in their right mind would even care that "all

No, you can't; not without jumping through hoops, not without clicking on fake warnings, not without a song and a dance about fake "saving you from scammers" scare tactics. Please stop covering for Google. They're behav

I get where you're coming from ivenjermakov, but the root cause of why we have a Linux, why Unix even existed, why Woz & Jobs created Apple, and so forth, is because creative, smart people want to break the hold of "common stu

We're just not at that stage yet, but we're getting there. It's already a crime (in the books) to drive out of several red states for women's health care reasons, and they'll follow you on flock if they can. Mark Br

You'd be surprised. I also do find americans to be utterly naive regarding this slide towards fascism, and I live here so don't bother trying to explain it to me. You only saw the end result regarding the "universe as what th

You're mistaken; in my family _everyone_ has heard of and read about the "creepo glasses" and that they're associated with Facebook, and want absolutely nothing to do with them or anybody who would voluntarily wear them.

You're arguing really really hard in favor of Meta Raybans, even to the point of coming up with excuses and false analogies. It's almost like you're arguing in bad faith and claiming ignorance of Meta's bad faith implem

There's also a Pebble app called "Notes to Self": push button, dictate note, note gets transcribed and added to the timeline, either in the past (if note lacks a timestamp or is in the past) or for a future reminder. It&#x27

Because the companies that are pushing for DC constructions are corruptors, and some politicians are easy to corrupt.

The problem isn't the availability of lower quality versions of a high-quality product, it's the transformation of a formerly high-quality product into a shitty-quality version, meanwhile, maintaining the same price, or worse, a h

You're not the only one. In college I took a compilers course and we used the dragon book, to me it sucked the joy out of the magical concept of making a compiler. Some years later I (re-) discovered Forth, and I thought "why not

Do you have any links to support this? Because the commonality of all arguments _against_ has been that they make water and power crazy expensive for everyone that has to live close to the newly opened datacenters, while the DC operator en

This is to laughably misguided that it leans toward malicious. I mean, you're talking about Elon, the Doge guy, the one who organized mass hoovering of citizens data from whatever sources he could get his grubby mitts on? That Elon? O

If it's impossible for a service provider to even talk to its customers, why is it in operation at all?

Have you tried Nim? Strong and static typed, versatile, compiles down to native code vía C, interops with C trivially, has macros and stuff to twist your brain if you're into that, and is trivially easy to get into. https:/&#x2F

Not disagreeing, just a question: if you were to catch it, would you stay inside until you're healthy again and not a danger to others?

It's not just its age, it's how easy it is (was?) to jump in and start writing useful code that could be revisited later on and be able to read it and understand it again. All of these efforts to turn it into another Typescript ar

I kind of object to this take. Nobody's talking about porting billions of lines of code, for all we know it's just for personal projects, or a learning experience. This kind of replies is like killing an idea before it's even

If only you'd bothered to quote the rest of the sentence: "Android-like touch screen UI with gestures" Could have used also "IPad-like..." or "IPhone-like..." and it would have meant basically the same. Ma

You're being willfully dense, I do not believe it's up for debate. Governments that public force to kidnap, torture, murder, "disappear" their own citizens, are bad. Plenty of examples to go around, both historically an
