For oldschool shooter experience you can just install Quake Live from Steam. You won't have trouble finding active servers in it.

Are you referring to [0] as a "rational take"? Oh, sorry, it is 2026 already and that one was quickly swept under the rug already so I guess you were referring to [1]? Not sure tho…

> Is Gemini really that bad? It still produce full-blown hallucinations for me sometimes, even in 2026. The kinds ChatGPT stopped generating by 2025. It is cheap and fast though.

Yes, they may just be laying the groundwork for introducing compliance requirements for VPN providers while the concept of VPN itself as a tool will always remain lawful by itself.…

I would assume that the problem with California aquifer is (mostly) a consequence of its Democratic state government decisions and it is highly unlikely that electing Hilary or Kam…

That is okay. The optimal amount of "issues" is greater than zero.

Not necessary. People who still transfer their life savings to some "I'm with MicroSoft tech support" guy shouldn't be allowed to vote either TBH.

How is "Payed subscriptions tier without tracking" not a product? Isn't it exactly what Instagram offers in Europe?

This is actually a step in the right direction. I don't want to share my id and selfie with every stupid social media app/site. I would much rather allow parents to configure their…

Not sure I would consider public schools a fun experience though. At least not for the majority of pupils.

Yeah, my favorite one is how Chrome users are not smart enough to handle case-aware web-page search toggle. Although to be fair their Chrome team is very arrogant even by Google st…

The word you are looking for is "universal" not "free".
