I ride a bike to work every day. I'm never sweaty. The infrastructure to cycle exists so I won't get run over by cars.

The measurement for temperatures you experience really does not matter outside of what you're used to, do you think non-Americans get confused about how cold 6°C or 23°C is?

That would be a much better comparison if it was artificial intelligence, but these are just reinforcement learning models. They do not get inspired.

I'm so happy this is becoming more mainstream. Huge props to people like NotJustBikes for such effective propagandizing.

It's not "the easy route". Making a game engine is a tremendous investment these days. If you are making anything other than a game that looks like early 2000s or earlier, you need a pretty capable engine that takes years to develop. That's on top of the time it costs to make a game, which is also typically years. Not to mention that your proprietary engine will have subpar tooling and make your game development slower.

For anyone but industry giants it's not feasible to make a modern engine. Unless your game is not aiming to play and feel like a modern game, you have to run with an off-the-shelf engine.

Not to discount it as a problem.. but a lot of Eastern Europe has this issue. Hell, not even just Eastern Europe. Fascist parties exist in most places, Ukraine does not really stand out in this aspect.

I wish there was a way to support the production, actors, writers, vfx artists, animators, etc. of good shows adequately while getting the piracy experience. This system really just fucking sucks. Even if you pay exorbitant amounts to streaming services, the people that made the art get jack shit.

Just a small note, universal healthcare isn't an EU thing and not really adopted properly across the EU's constituent countries

Why not have a state-run instance on an open platform? It's better than relying on a corporation's platform. The government is 'the people' more than corporations are.

Aren't they also pushing changes to have mobile browsers redirect to the app with no option for staying in the browser?

Yeah it lags behind because Chromium is developed by Google, which is the 4th biggest company in the world. And Safari is obviously from Apple which is the largest company in the world. I don't think the fact that Mozilla lags behind should upset anyone. The fact they can compete at all is impressive I think.
