    Xbox announces "Project Helix", their next generation console for Xbox and PC games

    A lot of marketing for what is just throwing unpported games into their store and stamping them as playable, once again leveraging their desktop monopoly knowing there are no consequences. Nice if you're into the XBox already, mostly irrelevant if you're not.

    Valve still aims for a first half 2026 release for their new hardware amidst component shortages

    Ironically, C, use it as a normal person that doesn't buy credits, wasting them a bigger amount of money that they will soon not be able to find anywhere. Although it's probably D, subscribe to a reasonable plan and milk the subscription for everything to speed up the clock, because none of them...

    Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado wins Nobel Peace Prize

    Trump does not get a peace price, but gets another bad excuse for another imperial war that can't be won, once again for control of oil. The peaceful democratic Venezuelan Millei praised the random slaughter of her citizens in short range speedboats, begged the invasion of her country by an...

    Far Right Presidential Candidate Wins in Argentina

    I'm not that interested to go looking for it, it's not interesting to go looking for specifics of a disaster unless it's your profession, which it isn't. And it doesn't matter, the argument is that it will create investment and attract FDI, which by the time it's obvious it didn't happen, there...

    Far Right Presidential Candidate Wins in Argentina

    The economic miracle in question. But, unlike eastern Europe, without Schengen or a common currency to exploit cheap labor and brain drain to then pretend economic growth.

    Far Right Presidential Candidate Wins in Argentina

    Probably waiting for the collapse to claim victory over modest growth from the ruins, which will still be far smaller than anything vaguely socialist was and is able to do.

    How long do you think before AI takes over and destroys all humans?

    I'm far more concerned with burning the planet quicker and produce even more vast amounts of waste in order to hallucinate jobs, the economy, and society itself away, while excusing the most dehumanizing practices liberal capitalism is capable of, than science fiction far into the future of...

    Far Right Presidential Candidate Wins in Argentina

    Project "get the weak to die of hunger while the rest removes their savings from the economy" continues with amazing success. Might even be thunderous and roaring success once the police and army realize they're not in the in group. It's brave, others have long passed caved to claiming it's not...

    Steam's new currency change for Argentina and Turkey created a big price increase for certain games

    No. It works for a few export economies, everyone else pegging their currency inevitably runs out of easy access to the global reserve currency, mostly because its fluctuations aren't in their interest. Even export led economies mostly trading on the dollar can have serious issues with demand...

    Elon promises to pay your legal bills.

    But, but, I was told 'murica was great because of at-will employment and none of that worker rights socialism! Guess we found the one thing the holy market doesn't solve, huh. Thoughts and prayers.

    What do you think is more harmful to the world? Racists, or religious fanatics?

    Yes, it literally meant pre-judgement of a person, and when applied to the ethnicity of a person, it's the very definition of racism. Couldn't be clearer, really. Bigots couldn't care less about the individual, it's his life job to prove he is different from the image they have in their head...

    What do you think is more harmful to the world? Racists, or religious fanatics?

    Same thing, they believe some version of gospel othering that someone made up, a few others updated through the ages to fit some political agenda, and everything that contradicts it, including non-mythological history is heresy that they shall not show reading comprehension of. While far from...

    No the energy department did not confirm covid19 leaked from a lab

    It obviously wasn't, but it also wasn't know; what was known was that it quickly overwhelmed care capacity, boomers or no boomers, and it did so again and again. Yes, everyone expected a MERS or SARS (and for those taking notes, those are just two of this century's close calls) which was both...

    Anybody following the fall of the FTX crypto exchange?

    Up and down compared to what? 1$ will always be exactly equal to $1 of tax obligations, and 1BTC will always be exactly equal to 1BTC of digital blackmail, the main drivers of anchoring the value of each (that and gunboat diplomacy by other means). That the flows go faster and faster from the...
