Imagine "roko's basilisk", but extended into an entire philosophy. It's the idea that "we" need to anything and everything to create the inevitable ultimate super-ai, as fast as possible. Climate change, wars, exploitation, suffering? None of that matters compared to the benefits humanity stands to gain when the ultimate super-ai goes online

I don't think that has been the case for at least a full console generation, maybe more.

Look at the rise and fall of pre-order goodies to get a rough estimate of when publishers really, really wanted you to buy the game day 1 (and when it stopped mattering as much)

60fps complaints go back to the dark days of 360/ps3 ports where HD resolutions on the consoles meant high framerate was no longer a viable option there. Since AAA games started using console as lead platform pc became saddled with 30fps caps as well. It possibly happened even earlier, but that was the time where I started noticing it.

I do not. The "free" feature set is good enough for my needs.

The Fitbit Versa series give me the vibe that this is where pebble could have headed if they hadn't gone under. Since Fitbit bought the Pebble estate I guess that's plausible. If you care more about health than fitness I would look into the Fitbit "Sense" series. They have most of the fitness options from Versa but also ECG and stress tracking.

No 3rd party apps, but they're pretty good on battery life (My partner's Versa 3 will last 11 days on a charge).

I assume kotakuinaction is still around somehow as well.

Over the last couple of months 20, 30 and/or 40mg Elvanse has been out of stock in Denmark at various points. Usually returning after a week or two. Same is true for Methylphenidate in 18, 27 and/or 38mg doses.

How comparable/useful that is to you, I have no idea

any sufficiently advanced incompetence (elon musk) is indistinguishable from malice

the DDG browser can setup a "fake vpn" tracking blocker for your entire phone. Last I checked certain apps were excluded by default as the tech is quite new and some apps don't work right with it. It'll then give you an overview of how many tracking attempts it blocks for each app.

beyond anti-cheat and "just came out" there's one more category that often doesn't work: not-new, obscure games.

Anything that isn't pretty new and/or pretty popular may need to you run through some hoops to get running right.

If you like jumping from game to game a lot, I wouldn't recommend Linux, but if you stick to a few and play them for a long time (and you don't mind the extra work it is to learn a new OS) I think it would be worth making the switch.
