  • I’ve worked in tech support for a long time and personally I also struggle with using Apple devices because of how ass backwards everything is on an Apple device as compared to everything else.

    But in my experience the people who don’t understand what file is are more comfortable on Apple devices. It’s by design.

    I’ve played the classics, 3, 2016, and Eternal, and honestly 2016 is my favorite. Eternal was good, but I felt that 2016 was a lot more straightforward with it’s combat loop. I found it easier to loose myself in the shooter trance. I never felt like that in Eternal.

    If I was a Firefox dev I’d start looking into building in user agent spoofing right into the browser.

    It already opens Facebook pages in a special isolated tab. They could have apple.com open in it’s own special “safari” tab. I wonder if there’s anything preventing them from doing that. I guess it could be bad because it would make their market share appear even smaller.




  • Sure, but everything is flawed. So we need to find the best solution that is least flawed. Signal is the best alternative to messaging apps that has the features most people want and most importantly people actually use it. It’s at a good intersection of useful and secure. If the article headline was “Evaluating security of Signal” it would be fine. But it’s basically “SIGNAL IS FLAWED! USE SOMETHING ELSE!”. That’s like when someone switches from Chrome to Firefox, which is objectively a better choice, and then they get told “Don’t use Firefox is BAD” and point them to Brave, and when Brave has a flaw they tell people to migrate again. So you get a minority of people using the bleeding edge apps that no sane person would want to spend the time to set up, and the majority just goes back to whatever is the easiest option, which would be Chrome, or in our example probably WhatsApp. It’s important to address concerns, but also to do it in a manner that is careful to not start a panic where one doesn’t need to exist.







  • Tarkov mostly because of how you loot. When you kill a player and start looting there are a bunch of nested containers that you need to rapidly search. You need to click and drag things out of pockets into your rig, maybe you want to pack the victims backpack with their own stuff and then put that backpack inside your own… It’s a lot of fast clicking and dragging. I’m not sure how you’d make that work on a controller. I mean, I know how, but having a cursor controlled by a joystick would make looting very slow.

    That being said I have no problem with games being on all platforms. And also you could potentially make a KB/M game for consoles just plug those into the console. I remember Socom on PS2 supported keyboards for text chat, and there was that short lived Eve FPS on PS3 that supported the mouse. But you’d still have to make it support the controller by default.
