> What's the last big budget release that actually left a strong artistic impression?

Elden Ring. You’d need to go quite a bit further back for the last one before that though.

The fact that you think this is an obvious tell just shows that it could be used strategically against you. Some players will use any means available to level each other. Don’t be so sure :-)

The fact that you still have the energy to reply to all these "isn't Redux bad/old/dead?" comments is a testament to the patience it must have taken to get this release out. Thanks for all your efforts.

Have to disagree with you on Half Life: Source. It’s way too glitchy to enjoy from start to finish. I’d recommend playing Black Mesa instead.

Microsoft has only just implemented (in preview) the ability to change the name/URL of your SharePoint site[0], a feature that has been widely requested for well over a decade.

Atlassian users might have a while to wait yet :-)

>MS has competing software (Skype for business previously known as Lync)

Teams, not Skype for Business, is Microsoft's Slack competitor.

Menulog and others have been doing this in Australia for at least 5 years.

I played countless games of casual CS with Atta while running GotGames, which hosted the majority of Aus/NZ pro CS:S tournaments back in the day.

He was a kind and warm influence in a scene which harbored its fair share of immaturity and vitriol. He'll be sorely missed.

Thanks. I'll happily trust someone called Rottman when it comes to decomposing bodies.

Thanks for the link. I'll throw in a recommendation for McSweeney's Internet Tendency.

Well I’ll be. I’ve got a vinyl copy now so I’m in good standing quality wise.

You should check out the Growing Bin web store - there are some fascinating musical rarities and curios there. There’s some great stuff on Jamie Tiller’s label Music From Memory. His mixes (available on Soundcloud) are also excellent, as are those on the Red Light Radio Soundcloud. I could go on...

What constitutes "important and desirable media" is extremely personal and subjective, and the producer will not always be available to respond to your request.

Here's an example of something that is very important and desirable to me but doesn't exist anywhere else on the internet.

I agree that's possible, but I don't think it's reasonable to read this piece in a "post-Damore Google" context.

The timeframe for these alleged actions predates the release of Damore's memo.

Whether a game can run smoothly on max settings is heavily resolution dependent; the difference in GPU power required to run a game at 1080p vs 1440p is quite substantial.

I don't think he's conflating the two at all. He's just pointing out that the vast majority of streamers start out by building a following around a single game, and very few succeed enough to make decent money and jump from game to game like your favourite streamer does.

I think this is a bit unfair. The Deathadder is widely regarded as one of the best gaming mice ever made.

They need to work on their pitch, it's a bit thin at present. I suggest:

"If blockchain technology doesn't already get you hard, Synthorn will."

Do you have a source for the claim that AMP is part of the Android case, or indeed any case?

If there's anyone qualified to write about the crypto bubble, it's surely a guy called Popper.

This topic has been covered extensively on HN. Check out some of the past submissions:

If we broke it, we can have a red hot go at repairing it.

Because the Federal government, not the QLD government, are weighing up a $1bn concessional loan for Adani's Carmichael coal mine. GetUp campaigners clearly feel they can make an impact at the Federal level; it worked during the last election.

That being said, they are equally critical of the QLD government and the corporate entities that are supporting Adani. Have a read of Sam's timeline.

See my comments elsewhere in the thread for an example of people/organisations that are involved in some fairly serious activism around these issues. They do exist.

My cousin Sam[0] runs the environmental side of things at GetUp and is putting a lot of time and effort into raising awareness about the reef. They're currently fundraising[1] for a targeted campaign in 12 Liberal electorates with the aim of encouraging MPs to break their silence and listen to their constituents on the issues surrounding Adani and the GBR.

Full disclosure: GetUp is a politically partisan organisation with strong left leanings. But I think the work they're doing around these issues is rooted more in common sense than politics.

Is anyone else involved in any grassroots-level efforts to save the reef? I'd be interested to hear about them.

Sure it is. Thankfully that's not Adobe's decision to make.

Can you elaborate on what this does behind the scenes other than using your search term + an additional predefined term for each radio button?

Somewhere in Iowa.

If it's in his comment history I figure it's fair game to state it here.

> Having an emotional reaction and a strong dislike to the way a corporation behaves, isn't an argument for why it must fail.

I agree with you here, but this is hardly the only argument presented in the article.

Something has to change when investor subsidies dry up. It might be a shift to self driving vehicles, a significant fare increase, or a monopolisation of the market. His assertion (which I broadly agree with) is that none of those seem likely to be successful.
