I don't think this is a defense of digital-only sales so much as a reality check that even physical game sales have been consumer-hostile for a long time.

You really don't want fraudulent clicks ("invalid traffic", per industry lingo) coming from your home network, because any publishers (apps and websites, per normal-people lingo) w…

The "radical tolerance" thing is also a little ironic, since the biggest controversy with the party that the founder donated to is that the party isn't tolerant of people from diff…

But the culprit likely would've been identified and mitigated sooner?

I don't think she was a full corgi (you almost never see all-white corgis, and not quite the right head/body shape) but she definitely had some corgi in there, or a similar herding…

Ha, not to say too much, but I've been reading a bunch of network history stuff lately as research for a speculative fiction setting where there's no unified TCP/IP spec like we ha…

Ah, I understand :)

I'm curious about the "if traffic was billed, it wouldn't have happened" part... are you saying that if traffic had been billed per [unit]byte, there would've been no incentive to …

I for sure agree about encouraging people to dig deeper and wider, and that absolutely none of this is new or is occurring in a vacuum, but (and I don't say this to single you out,…

It's interesting (by which I mostly mean "fucked") how some proponents are acknowledging the consequences after the fact, even for selfish reasons--like Musk "believ[ing] he’s goin…

Dogs were the #1 way for humans to catch rabies for most of human history, which I didn't realize until I read Rabid: A Cultural History of the World's Most Diabolical Virus .

You won't OD from sulfates in shampoo, but there are serious pros and cons to using them at all : Sulfate-containing shampoos give you a deeper clean, but can dry out your scalp an…

Agreed, although one thing I'll grant is that these days it seems like extremely large families in the US are almost always evangelicals, who obviously skew conservative, and there…

It's not easy, but some people are trying it! https://www.npr.org/2026/02/21/g-s1-110595/from-cubicles-to-...

IIRC Showdown has a tacit agreement with TPC (or at least has historically; unclear if Champions will change anything in the future) and is allowed to exist so long as it follows c…

I'm guessing it didn't have wiring or plumbing when it was originally built, though. If professional electricians/plumbers added those _after_ the fact, then that's still way diffe…

This drove me crazy on one of my (very lightweight) static sites... even on incredibly fast connections you'd always see that FOUT. I managed to solve it with font-display: fallbac…

The shipping forecast is great... or I should say, moderate, occasionally poor :)

Ah, that does make a lot of sense!

Parasympathetic nervous activation increased risk-taking behavior? That's interesting/unexpected (at least to me). Also, this part caught my eye: > The selective impact of prolonge…

If I'm understanding the "inflammatory milieu generated by surgery" part correctly, does this imply that the cognitive effects would be equally likely if surgery were performed wit…
