  • YouTube confirms your pause screen is now fair game for ads

    Jump

  • I doubt they are video ads. On other streaming services they are just static images with transparent backgrounds displayed on one third of the screen or borders that show up around the paused video. Pause ads aren't new and I'm guessing YouTube is following other streaming services.

  • Dagger Directive Brings The Old School Tactical Shooter Style In Announcement Trailer

    Jump

  • But can't you do that with a scope over the iron site that is not full screen and not blurring the peripheral around the scope on the center? But as a 90s/00s gamer, I did love silent scope on arcades. I get what you mean.

    Jump

  • The picture in picture scope is a weird design choice. I remember old delta force games, after moving on to rainbow six, ghost recon, or operation flashpoint, not sure why you would go back to that for scopes...

  • The park in my parent's neighborhood got rid of all the benches

    Jump

  • Guys. I am pretty sure that is Moynihan train station next to Penn Station. People sitting on the floor are literally leaning against the stairs down to the track. Thats is where people lineup to go on the train when it arrives at the station. Of course you don't put benches there. In this station there is a seating area where all you need to do is show your train ticket. On the other side there's a food hall with lots of public seating. There just isn't seating directly where all the foot traffic is. I take trains in the North East corridor on Amtrak somewhat often. There's seats there. Just not where seating would obstruct movement on and off the train platforms.

  • "is" or "strives to be" a monopoly? I think the value of monopoly criticism gets diluted when used to liberally to not actually describe them. I would not say every "decent sized company" out there is a monopoly...

  • I'm not a PS layout kind of person. I looked at the more Xbox designed ones, but don't folks say the ergonomics aren't great? They have yours wrists or hands almost at parallel angles instead of a more open position based on the grip design? I almost went

  • Isn't the point of directtv kind of anti monopoly. Satellite has no specific footprint like cable where geographic monopolies are carved out.... But the real monopoly is when it's all exclusively on ESPN or whatever Disney's streaming service is. Like apple TV with mls being the 1 global streamer.

  • Didn't a Japanese company make a controller with native steam input? Is that controller any good? The thing with 8bitdo and the like is you can't map back paddles to unique inputs via steam and they only can duplicate face buttons by programming the controller iirc.

    I have a gulikit kk3, but I don't love the dongle and don't love the lack of native steam controller configuration for back paddles. Other than that, the hardware has been good for me.

  • World population to shrink in 21st century amid birthrate fall: UN

    Jump

  • At literally every point of modern history, a reduction in the amount of humans was beneficial for the vast amount of humans in the long run.

    Like, even the Black Death led to reduced wealth inequality and the beginnings of workers rights.

    I don't see how someone can claim that the mass death of people is simultaneously beneficial to that people.

    There's a difference in reduction of humans by events that cause death at large scale vs decline in rates of reproduction. Clearly catostrophic death is being used as an example of "a reduction in the amount of humans."

  • World population to shrink in 21st century amid birthrate fall: UN

    Jump

  • Did you read the comment I responded to saying that the black death was good because a lot people died and as a result created a better labor market? That's saying death is a good thing to cull surplus labor.

  • World population to shrink in 21st century amid birthrate fall: UN

    Jump

  • Can't believe we have someone getting so many up votes for saying that the black plague was a good thing? Would you say that about all the deaths during COVID? This upvoted edgelord callousness is nuts.

  • Wtf. So instead of the rich eating the poor the poor should just eat the poor to improve the labor market in their favor?

  • Microsoft Says Bye-Bye DEI, Joins Growing List Of Corporations Dismantling Diversity Teams

  • Yeah. I never understood why DEI required a discreet team. It seems like it should just be a function, commitment, and initiative of HR.

  • Ocasio-Cortez Loses the Democratic Socialists’ Endorsement Over Israel

    Jump

  • But is that a core position where the dsa will revoke endorsements of members? Presumably members can have argument and debate about positions. Also, it's questionable to suggest AOC is somehow strongly pro Israel. So why is there such a dumb headline stance on discussing anti semitism because some folks are afraid it might come off as pro Israel?

  • Ocasio-Cortez Loses the Democratic Socialists’ Endorsement Over Israel

    Jump

  • But DSA has a mission and core positions that are domestic and focus on economics, democracy, and equality. If you have a prominent member that represents those things, why are you kicking her out for something not defined in your core position and objective on a flimsy basis?
