I’ve had an awful night, and this cheered me up a bit. Thank you.

I am guessing that it’s punishment for one, and pleasure for the other.

I’ve followed the nerd nest since before they were the nerd nest. Unfortunately their videos have gotten longer, while the information that I am interested in hasn’t grown along with it, so either:

• I have to actively search through the video or its transcript, OR…
• I have to suffer through 5 minutes of random crap I don’t care about or already knew, to find the one thing mentioned in the title, that made me click.

Summary using Kagi Summarizer (yes, A.I. , but I don’t want to watch a click bait vid that takes too long to get to the point):

Recent documents from the Wolffire lawsuit against Valve have brought to light allegations of monopolistic behavior concerning pricing parity. The report suggests that Valve has pressured publishers, including Ubisoft and Warner Brothers, to maintain price consistency across platforms by threatening to delist their games from Steam. While Valve representatives have denied the existence of a formal policy, internal communications indicate that this practice has been used to influence pricing on external storefronts. The legal proceedings serve as a crucial mechanism to uncover the truth behind these alleged practices. Regardless of the trial’s outcome, the transparency gained from these documents allows the public to scrutinize whether Valve has abused its dominant position in the PC gaming market. If proven true, these actions raise significant questions about corporate power and the freedom of developers to set prices independently of Steam.

I think it’s something like “she’s straight-up giving teeth” or something along those lines.

Even Meta and Yandex were […] privacy-invase

Aren’t they like… The experts? The pioneers of the movement? Meta especially is known for this, right? Or am I hallucinating lmao

Fuck off, corp

Wow is line 1, first 3 characters

Loading Artist, yeah.

“Violet08_” Just checked my blocklist lol

The continued and unfaltering passage of time.

Not specific to any courier, but the level of frustration I achieve when I get a notification that “nobody was home” when I am literally waiting in the living room, looking out the window to see if any van drives by… Ugh. Honestly I don’t blame the drivers though. It’s the corps scheduling them too tightly, unfortunately. I don’t envy them.

“We at Valve are excited to announce the Steam Controller 2, the third iteration of our Steam Controller”

Same, which is odd since I blocked her a while ago

What we need is TVs that don’t require an internet connection. I wanna stream stuff, but I’m very capable of booking up a streaming box or even an old laptop for that purpose.

“Well actually, not so much ‘forgot’ as uhh… How do I say this… I never intended to make the energy. Just didn’t feel like it. Sorry, not sorry.”

Ig it’s just to warn people who have dealt/are dealing with an alcohol addiction? The title is the warning, the nsfw screen the “I understand and wish to continue” button.

Had to look it up too.

Relating to Tantra, the esoteric Indian traditions that employ ritual, visualization, mantras, and yogic techniques to achieve spiritual insight or liberation

House isn’t scary at all, though it is scary that the director thought Hugh Laurie was more American than most Americans.

Yeah, but sometimes (like last Wednesday) the app says the bus will arrive in e.g. 5 minutes, after a delay of 2 minutes. And then it still never shows up :)
