The difference is that the Steam Deck actually uses fairly traditional controls. Two joysticks, face buttons, d-pad (not that anyone uses the d-pad), multiple back triggers.

This thing was been really weird with its three analogue inputs (how am I supposed to use three analogue inputs) and every other button was limited. It also existed in a world where I can just get an Xbox controller and plug it into my PC, and it just works, so what’s the point anyway?

This thing isn’t even particularly good at controlling the steam deck, which kind of proves the point that it never really made sense as a product.

Just hit up Teresa May’s husband, he’s good for illicit drugs.

Sometimes if I’m feeling lazy, I get the Doctors move the prescription to a pharmacy closer to my house. Rather than going into town.

Here are Americans with their paper flimsies. But you manage to have electronic voting.

What stats you haven’t provided any stats, you just said the had legitimate grievances and then didn’t elaborate.

Not if you don’t live in the US. Everyone’s going to be immortal except you guys.

Are we sure about that because I’ve never really been able to get a unbiased viewpoint. You know because they’re all racist over there as like the default position. Even if they’re not unpleasant people they’re kind of just casually racist, it does mean that whatever they say has to be taken with several hundred kg worth of salt

Don’t worry we won’t have to put up with it for long because apparently an AI is going to use a virus to kill us all in about 2 years time. Personally I wish it would get on with it.

How are they going to understand a language that doesn’t exist yet?

Calling a bomb threat on the plane just before takeoff. That’ll really confuse things but it’ll get the job done.

So you going to head back to a random Wednesday and be like nope not happening yet, let’s try tomorrow, nope. Maybe next week?

Did you just use a backtick as an apostrophe? You are an absolute savage.

Oh so you’re the AI

I actually like using em dashes because it’s the correct thing to do. Also the Oxford comma, correct use of semi colon, and listing things in threes.

What do you bet that if you were Vibe coating in python it would import a library so it could do zero indexing again?

The newspaper he was writing for is a major publication he absolutely could have asked someone.

The problem here is the newspaper didn’t care enough about the article to put anyone on it who is even remotely familiar with technology. They probably thought of it as just some throwaway piece to fill out a bit of space. Which to be fair it would have been had it not been for that comment.

I don’t think it’s the variable for counting the number of us in a group that’s the issue here. There’ll be some internal tracker that gives everyone in the chat group a local ID probably for the purposes of ensuring that everyone stays in sync.

If you leave the group and then go into a different chat group you’ll probably have a different number in that group because the internal counter is specific to the chat, not to the user ID which will be a unique ID used across all interactions for that phone number.

Computers start counting at zero, (unless it’s python) so the first person in the group would be ID 0, the second person would be ID 1

Also they can’t use computers anyway. They just publicly post on social media. It’s considered secure because no one likes them enough to follow them.

That’s a super old article as well.

They got rightfully roasted in the comments for not knowing even the most basic things about computing.

Yeah I know that’s my point.
