> It messes up sometimes

i have the opposite experience as i've found it to mess up a lot to the point that I can't trust the AI Overview answer at all. I've seen it be confidently wrong too many times and now the trust factor just isn't there.

just because you lift weights and eat protein doesn't mean you'll be bulky, do not be ridiculous.

If they wanted to have this in the EU, they would've. Not going to blame brussels for the dirt that apple is throwing at my face.

Germany is a special case actually because they just refused to go on the fiber train and instead kept doubling down on DSL. Goes all the way back to the administration from the 80s and onwards, it's finally changing tho.

yeah, it's been a bitt iffy for me this week. took a few days off and came back yesterday and in the mean time feels like claude code took 15 steps backwards

Is this drug sponsored by Roger Goodell?

Who wrote the title? Joseph McCarthy?

RIP. An important part of the gaming history is now gone, such a shame.

Same boat here, also Germany. Wanted to watch the Bourdain show "No Reservations" and it's practically impossible.

There are only 3 ways:

1. Import the DVDs from the US, but pay a high cost for the DVDs, the high cost of shipping, the taxes and customs and eventually, once it arrives, watch it.

2. Be a criminal, get a VPN, fake address and data, prepaid US credit card and subscribe to discovery in the US and watch it.

3. Be a criminal and pirate it easily.

Is piracy really the problem?

From what I remember when I last tried it, NaNoWriMo worked with the honor system. If you wanted you could paste a wikipedia article in the editor and it would count the words and tell you good job, but you'd only be lying to yourself in the end.

I'd argue it was a bad play, they gambled on something others had gambled and failed, and just as the rest they didn't even put a dent in the market. All they did was overspent their resources and now have to resort to layoffs.

You mention EA, and they did try to break into the market and left steam for a while... they had the money, the franchises, the personnel and they couldn't do it. Now they're back on steam. Anyone else would look at what happened and would learn from their mistakes.

> For a while now, we've been spending way more money than we earn

I guess giving away free games and not charging deveveloper (or charging very little depending on exclusivity deals) wasn't the best financial decision. Who would've thought?

Shame about the people impacted by this, I actually know some of them, hope they find something quick.

Well, questionable original source aside, just went on a rabbithole in wikipedia reading about it. Or do you consider wikipedia also propagandist?

Damn, that was fun.

Got 40,465/50,000, I feel like I'm the geoguessr guy from twitch.

Tell that to my app I guess. Just opened it and checked some "threads", refreshed, got some likes. All seems to be business as usual. Located in Germany, no VPN, via iOS.
