I’d argue it wasn’t any different than last year (10min) because the broadcasts held everything up with every pick. Still way better than the 15 min per pick.

Gaming@beehaw.org•Steam is basically a PC gaming monopoly, so why isn’t anyone mad?English
82·1 month agoNot a monopoly. Only people mad at Steam are competitors. Competitors focus on shareholders, Steam focuses on gamers, you know, their customers.

Technology@beehaw.org•Inside Project Nova, Firefox's biggest redesign in yearsEnglish
4·1 month agoYou have to remember that when Mozilla first formed the goal was to create a mini-OS in the browser with apps and the whole caboodle. With that they then wanted TO DOMINATE THE WORLD!!! But their vision was tricky and taking way longer than expected, so they released Firefox as a temporary band-aid. Firefox went on to be their greatest project while the Mozilla Project burned, fell over in the swap, and was bulldozed into the sea. Over at Mozilla HQ there is still resentment that Firefox is their greatest project. They never gave up on WORLD DOMINATION. It’s like the ego of Marc Andreessen haunts them like a ghost.
With AI, they see their opportunity for WORLD DOMINATION and are going for it again.

11·2 months agoThe Quebecois response to his language is. Remember, English IS an official language of Canada. It was a choice to set aside the tragedy and make it about Quebec politics.

11·2 months agoBut if this guy went out there and spoke shitty French, the Quebec rabble rousers would have been equally, if not even more, furious. The guy was expecting them to have some understanding in the face of tragedy, but that’s a bridge too far. Quebec had to make it about themselves.
Do you want normal bulbs? Or do you want RGB bulbs? If you’re sticking to normal bulbs, they’re cheap and you are likely going to be better off with smart switches. But it does require some hardware spend.
If they are regular bulbs, I’d go with smart switches instead.

Politics@beehaw.org•Warren says 'it's so much worse than you thought' after classified Iran briefingEnglish
3·2 months agoWe won’t. Everyone says that every time we go to war in the ME, and we always waffle stomp them. ME armies are vastly overrated and no one outside of Israel has logistics worth a damn. The real problem is after the Iranian military is defeated, what do we do then? No real goals and competent exit strategy means we’re creating a new Isis or Taliban with the power vacuum.
