Video games are now a generation-spanning hobby for 190 million Americans, survey finds
  • I work in tech so at least 80% of people play video games. Either hardcore or casually, on their phones, PCs or Steam deck. The other 20% don't play video games because they're busy with life, like they just had kids.

    I feel like if a boomer-minded take like, "Vidja games are for kids yuk yuk", literally everyone would rip into them.

  • Microsoft stoops to new low with ads in Windows 11, as PC Manager tool suggests your system needs ‘repairing’ if you don’t use Bing
  • I never upgraded software-wise. Moreso my tech got so outdated that new hardware I'd get (I only use Windows for gaming) would have the latest Windows installed - exactly what Microsoft wants.

    I think Proton/Linux in the past year is going to really disrupt that strategy.

  • Instagram and Facebook under EU investigation for causing child addiction and harm
  • My wife's parents went crazy lead brained. They went pure antivaxxer and said if we don't want our kids to have grandparents, then get vaccinated. We lolled and said, "Bye".

    It's been four years now.

    They now pretend like they didn't say that every few months by sending us gifts and cards, that we promptly give away to charity.

    [CW: Death and destruction] How neocolonialism work
  • I can't remember which American jingoism movie it was about Iraq, but it had a scene like this.

    The brown people are like, "You Americans are only here to take our oil!"

    And the bootlicking soldier was like, "No, we're here to make you rich."

    And while it sounds cool at the time, that was a load of BS.
