You can label it as a trendy new tech term, but it is the age old yes-manism that I have watched eat up tech executives and CEOs that I have worked with.
The real work of software engineering isn't the coding. That is like saying that being a doctor is all about reading health charts. Planning, designing, testing and maintaining software is the hard part, and it is often much more political than it is a technical challenge. I'm not worried about getting replaced by AI. In fact, LLMs ability to generate high volumes of code only makes the skills to understand it to be more in demand.
Should probably just filter them out by default, and then have a sort by funny or something.
That's only when it comes to advertising and messaging. Once you start bringing up actual government processes like registering to vote and polling location information it gets interesting. Lying about the voter registration process for instance, which this seems close to.
Oh boy, this has got to be an FEC violation.
Game mode doesn't have a browser. I would be interested to find out of the steamdeck sales almost directly correlate to this increase. Not that I am complaining, it's a great way to use a linux desktop experience. I didn't really read how these numbers were measured.
The other explanation I could think of is that linux desktop is being adopted widely in India. I don't think that government's adopting linux desktop accounts for a significant portion of the machines.
Are steamdecks getting counted in this?
What right does valve have to discriminate against devs and publishers who are selling their game on other platforms? They have to compete for their business, not punish them for having a game that is more successful on another store that gives a higher revenue cut to the dev and a lower price to the customer.
David Rosen of Wolfire Games (Receiver, Overgrowth, Lugaru) is alleging that steam reps have threatened to de-list his game if he lists it as less expensive on other platforms. Specifically not just steam keys but other distribution platforms.
But then you have to tolerate being yelled at by people who disagree with you and are in the majority.
No complaints from me, im a liberal who reached this place because I still like to sort by local. If you moderate away dissent, I just don't think there are enough internet using neo-cons for it to be viable.
Thats pretty much the pattern of conservative discourse - it ends up trying to blend in to plain sight either through a secret clearance level on parlor or through groyped up dogwhistle language. It is because the ideas are deeply unpopular, and will always attract tons of criticism. This might be the place to finally face up to this and engage in a healthy discussion, but there is no version of that where conservatives aren't outnumbered.

Oh, I hear ya dude. The emperor isn't naked until he is in jail. But more important than anything - it feels bad to loose like this. The whole point of pretending is that you get to feel "strong" and like you are "owning the libs" or whatever. Now, it's like, what's the point? They just want to lose again, and get made fun of.
