    This isn’t meant to be an “achktually”, just a bit of trivia on the process of how we prepare meat.

    And why, their hyperbole is actually even dumber than you think once you know the process.

    After we kill an animal, it is left to hang for a couple of days depending on temperature. And it is so oxygen can interact and the meat starts to break down a bit, it decays. It’s slowly rotting. And there’s a fine balance between decay and bacteria growth. Simplified. The closer you are to that line, and the longer it can hang, the more tender it will be.

    E.g. wild game is suggested to hang for at least 40 “day temperature”. So if the average temperature is 5 degrees Celcius, it needs to hang for 8 days. 5*8=40. If the average temperature is lower, it hangs for longer. It’s generally believed you need at least 2 degrees for the decay process to happen the way we want to. And if you start to reach 10 degrees, you have a much higher risk of bacteria growth. (These are in the context of average temperatures, hanging outdoors)

    I don’t know the ins and outs of beef or pork, but the principle is the same. And today, I would assume all slaughter-houses have large stable rooms where the temperature and airflow is controlled down to the decimals.

    So… I’d say yeah, the sight of a cut of meat, prepared in a highly controlled decay process. Is incredibly savory. Because you know it’s gonna be tender as hell!



  • I skimmed through this, and some other stories from the same “news author”. Either the author, Matt Wales, is actually bipolar and needs to seek treatment, or he just angles his articles about the given topic based on whichever third party threw him some chump change to buy a coffee.

    I’ve never seen someone be so anti-steam, and pro-steam at the same time. One article is praising steam as the best thing that happened to humanity, the next one is talking about how terrible they are and how much they just want to censor games and kill studios they don’t like.

    One article is praising Nintendo as the greatest gaming company ever, and the next is talking about how evil they are regarding the palworld lawsuit.

    I know publications have their bias, but at least most of them are somewhat consistent in their bias…

    I did find this comment under one of his articles regarding this game. (Yes, he’s made three articles about this game, one after the other), and I thought it summed up my short experience with eurogamer. (most other comments were very anti-steam, but that’s to be expected since everyone else that threw up in their mouths quickly clicked off the article)

    15 years ago, Steam was a curated walled garden. Every game was manually approved for sale, and if they didn’t like your game and didn’t think it was good enough, then you didn’t get to sell on there. It was gutting when my game was sold on XBLIG, GOG, Green Man Gaming, and some other stores that I can’t remember, but Steam just gave us a flat-out “no”.

    To be fair, the game was pretty crap (Eurogamer gave it an 8/10).





  • To adress your edit first. That’s not what he said. He said the majority of Linux users are cheaters, not that the majority of cheaters are on Linux.

    If you want to be upset about things people say, at least understand what they’re saying…

    I don’t think you’re a programmer. I don’t think you’ve worked on the backend of software. It’s seldom as easy as “just fix it”. All software are built in blocks, added over time. Sometimes, it’s not until much later you realise one of the blocks are unstable. But it’s not as easy as just replacing the block. You’ll have to dismantle everything built above it, reconstruct the entire block, and then build everything back up. Sometimes from scratch, because while you’re at it, might as well fix some other issues too.

    It’s a massive undertaking, can take a very long time. And while you’re doing all of that. You don’t have time for anything else.

    What he is saying, is that they’re currently fighting enough cheaters on Windows as it is, they don’t have time to do it on Linux either, all while maintaining two codebases instead of one.

    Now. I don’t play rust. Just not my cup of tea. But it’s silly, how many comments here either don’t even understand the argument he’s making (including yourself) and/or have no understanding what so ever of what software development on projects decades old actually entail.

    It’s so funny how you say they don’t care about their creative work at all, because in my experience. You’d have to care a lot about the project to justify the headache of maintaining decade old codebases. It’s seldom fun. We’re talking months of headache for a single day of gratification. And then it starts all over.



  • I’m not here to defend what is completely unacceptable. So don’t mistake it as such. I also think it’s on the parents to raise their child. Kids do dumb things, that’s part of being a kid. But there’s dumb things. And then there’s this…

    I think this also illustrates the importance of competent sex ed in schools.

    With today’s generative AI tools. I fear these kind of things are far too easy and require far too little effort. Which makes proper sex ed all more important.

    Regardless of whatever happens with this school suspension. That boy is probably in some very serious legal trouble. Because no matter how you look at it, at the end of the day. He intentionally, created, and distributed CP.


  • I’m lost for words. Every time he says something, it’s the dumbest thing I’ve heard. And I always think to myself, this is it. this is peak stupid. There is no way he can say something dumber than this with a straight face.

    I really thought we peaked when he tried to tell their Navy, that they don’t know what happens when you put water on a magnet. The god damn navy.

    But here we are. With the president of the USA, telling us, with a straight face, being serious, that no one knows how magnets work. Next he’ll probably try to tell us we don’t know how electricity works.
