       @arstechnicaBecause Google's chatbot gave wrong information... just like ChatGPT does... consistently.

       @brosandprose He's one of those those guys who worship "Supply Side Jesus," not to be confused with Jesus of Nazareth.

       @arstechnica Well, in fairness they were just part of the meaningless window dressing MS uses to try convince the general public that they are a responsible, ethical company.Microsoft has never been ethical, and never will be.

       @brewsterkahle Started trying to buy more physical books. An e-Reader just doesn't beat the feel of a real book in your hands.

       @ethanwhite @pluralistic Cheating in games is the most overstated "problem" in software, and publishers' insistence that everything be "games as a service" makes what should be a non-issue into an issue.

       @ethanwhite @pluralistic The earliest version of bnetd was really just the result of a compsci student's curiosity on how battle.net worked. It's only real use was at LAN parties if you wanted extra Battle.net like features. Otherwise the game supported LAN play.At the time, the copy protections on Blizzard's games were nearly non-existent and as I recall the official Battle.net didn't itself do much to stop cheaters either.

       @ethanwhite @pluralistic Hell, StarCraft even officially supported "spawn" installs intended for use at LAN parties. The idea was that as long as the host had a legal copy, they supported "spawn" installs so your buddies could play with you.

       @arstechnica Yeah, that's the exact opposite of a PC.
