I know it's possible to rip nebula videos with yt-dlp but I don't know of any sites hosting them

this message is for investors, not gamers

dumb investors will be like "oh yay they're doing the tech hype fad thing that lets management do big layoffs and pump out content"

smart investors will be like "this will make the games worse"

Boost this one to the top, it's the official reason given by sony. You can disparage it if you want, but it has technical merit. The audio codecs supported by mainstream bluetooth devices are meant for music, where you want the highest possible quality and can tolerate a slight delay between when you press play and when the music actually starts.

In video games this means you get a noticable delay on the audio. With classic video file playback like a movie, this can be compensated for by delaying the visuals so thay match up with the audio, but delaying the visuals in a video game is an even worse experience for the player.

Sony's use of a proprietary audio codec via their wireless controllers is pretty justified. They're able to optimize for latency and it shows (or rather, it doesn't, since you probably would never notice it).

if only any of the problems that caused the civil war had been solved since then :(

I use nano on my servers because the default configuration can be used by pretty much anyone, even if I had to explain it to someone over the phone. And hopefully you rarely if ever have to make sophisticated changes to files on servers that would benefit from vim's model.

If you do need to do consistent heavy-duty file editing on a server, rmate is really nice for that: https://github.com/aurora/rmate

But honestly both of these strategies are dated and I don't use either of them professionally. These days it's all immutable infrastructure: I use my local editor to make build scripts for immutable server images that there's no point in editing files on running instances because none of the changes will be persisted.

Matchmaking is a pretty good system for people who just want to get a game going without having to navigate the social fabric of a community.

What I'm saying is that both are good for different audiences, or even the same people at different times.

Yeah no, applications need to be secure by default. Blaming the user does nothing to actually improve the security posture anywhere. The security posture of the app needs to be specifically designed with the least-skilled users in mind because they are also the most vulnerable to this type of problem. Google meanwhile is full of talented engineers who are experts at identifying and combatting this type of malware scam.

To look at it another way, what google is actually doing here is intentionally exposing their users to malware in order to take a cut in the form of advertising revenue.

Like, shitloads of people ARE calling him out for that. 75% of Israelis want him to resign. Yet here we are.
