They paid salary of a single developer. FEX isn’t developed by a single person. Kind of expected with how little credit is given to Wine when they talk about Proton.

It’s not because of Apple, there seems to have been a general backlash and more companies refused as well.

It would make sense to sell every IP they can piecemeal to get some return on this investment.

If I had to guess then Saudi (or MBS) wanted EA FC which can now return to being EA FIFA now with extra Ronaldo. Saudi have enough influence over FIFA via PIF to make this happen.

£3.1m is like a yearly salary for a team of hardware engineers. This sounds like a token investment that looks good in a press release, or a token investment that will go into pockets of someone closely associated. Or both.

How about Death’s Door?

YouGov and ESA conducted a 5-minute online survey in the U.S. from September 26-30, 2025 among 1,912 respondents ages 5-65 recruited from YouGov’s proprietary online panel. Data is weighted to be representative of the overall U.S. population in terms of age, gender, ethnicity, education and census region. Respondents ages 5 to 17 were asked to complete the survey under the supervision of a parent.

If you want to know proprietary information that provides competitive advantage like weights applied then you might be out of luck, however publishing garbage would destroy YouGov reputation quick and so they don’t have that much incentive to fudge numbers.

With the power of math you don’t have to. I’m a data analyst by trade so I take offence to this question every time.

It’s normal for a person experiencing psychosis to have trouble understanding reality through a lens of a sane person, yes.

GoW isn’t really open world, there’s a hub and there’s smaller, mostly linear locations. Gameplay is more of an Uncharted with axes and combos. It is a very good game though.

I have an LG OLED B2 for a couple of reasons that remain true of LG OLEDs and new TVs:

• LG has the best OLED longevity results on Rtings tests
• supports Dolby Vision (Samsung pushes some „standards” nobody is using)
• VRR / FreeSync (if you play video games this is a must have on a modern TV)
• jailbroke mine to add ambient lighting via HyperHDR, ESP controller and a LED strip (total cost of something like $40)

My one other observation is that new TVs are marketed on how bright they get. It’s like Gillette razors with 20 blades but replace that with 3000 nits. I don’t have my B2 nowhere near max brightness because it’s eye-searing and reduces OLED lifespan. Brightness this high only makes sense if you’re going to watch your TV in the middle of an electronics store showroom.

As to UI, ads and spyware. Every vendor UI is horrible and will push ads on you eventually - don’t connect it to network, get an Apple TV set top box, set TV to use that input at start and never worry about that. I’m still using my 2017 one and while showing age it’s still faster than every TV I’ve seen.

No point in reading the books - GRRM didn’t finish this series either. Said he’d do so after GoT. So probably never.

Urging thoughts and prayers. There’s nothing to be done about it realistically other than building nukes.

I used sub-title because Americans tend to treat this like the end of the world while ignoring that it was an act of malicious (and unnecessary) compliance.

Official announcement

If you use Phanpy you’ll jump on it. If you don’t then you probably won’t care. Phanpy is the best Mastodon client around but has been limited by being PWA.

They could have always respected this setting rather than doing popups btw.

This is what right would call „communism” if it was done by the left.

I watched One Battle After Another last week. My impression was that it was a more feverish take on Children of Men. I rewatched that the next day and it holds up perfectly. Cinematography allows for the real story to be told in backgrounds and mood. Characters were not that important so I appreciate it that they kept movie short.

Oh, and the scene at Theo’s brother where a young adult at the table is too consumed by some electronics to participate in the discussion is uncannily prophetic since the movie came out before smartphones exploded.
