Autocomplete makes all the difference. Especially ones that also search the command description.

China just outright banned all residential satellite dishes in response to Starlink. Gotta keep the people under control after all.

It's like the author heard about this practice briefly and jumped straight to "Wait, this doesn't make any sense!" and spun his lack of understanding in the most extreme way.

Instead of asking what's driving people to this practice and whether the practice produced noticeable mental health benefits in the participants.

"It can't work how I understand it", doesn't mean it actually can't work, only that you've failed to understand.

He says Modern Javascript but what he really means is Modern JS Frameworks (React and others). Don't use a framework if you don't need it, or use a framework and pre-render.

Frameworks being large and taking a long time to parse isn't the fault of JavaScript or NPM.

This author seems to have never played a game with an actual good story. You can tell from his comparison of game stories to movies.

How can you compare a 2 hour narrative with a 10-100 hour narrative?

This article grossly overgeneralizes stories in games and ignores the unique storytelling device that is a "game".

A good book doesn't necessarily make for a good movie and a good movie doesn't necessarily make for a good game (and the other way around, as we've seen over and over again).

This article seems like a self-congratulating piece by an indie developer for being an indie developer.

Good for you. That doesn't mean AAA studios can't make a good game story, same as big budget movies can have a compelling story.

If there was manipulation happening, it would be much more subtle than this. This is either amateur hour, or something innocuous happening.

As an owner of XPS 15 9560, I can tell you that the XPS line is a gift that keeps giving. 6 generations of XPS laptops since 2021 and they barely fixed most of the overheating issues in that time period, while charging premium prices for each barely-functioning product along the way.

It's like Facebook stopped developing it's content moderation technology 6 years ago despite their website growing in complexity (and range of use) to this day. Can't they outsource the moderation to an Amazon Turk-like system, if they aren't willing to employ sufficient moderators themselves?

A lot of groups and pages (like newspapers) that have to "self-moderate" due to hate / propaganda spam posts and comments would be willing to pay a monthly fee for a quota in a Turk-like system for moderation.
