"let's draw some lines!"
Replying to heir #hyrrulfr is orissa even in orissa, on that map
you're right
Ceylon rises
"Spooky, are you even doing anything, you haven't left your island and it's already 2025"
"I'm trying to bait Vijianijar into fighting Ming, just a few more years"
can Paradox change their awful EU5 3D portraits to incorporate Stellaris aliens
that would help my immersion
Honestly, I'd even be ok if Paradox just replaced them all with ads for DLC
It would bother me less

@Gent good job

FUN FACT J.J. Thomson won the Nobel in Physics in 1906 when he showed electrons were particles. 31 years later his son G. P. Thomson won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1937 for showing that electrons are waves.

where's my Nobel
Probably unrelated, a lot of GitHub auto-build dependencies got fucked up over the weekend
Some core maintainers shuffled around and some key things broke, that wouldn't actually affect projects other than they were automating their build process and are too inept to rollback
I think US antitrust efforts against them are progressing
>plummeting
though, I think they're down in general because their AI sucks
Bard/Gemini/AI Mode or whatever they've rebranded it to this week
And then like Chives said, uncertainty over how they're going to get broken up
There's actually very little good news for Google rn
I think every? one of their technology areas is falling behind and their market share has nowhere to go but down
now, part of that's because they have such absurd market share and profits to begin with
but I really do think their complete failure to make inroads with AI will be their undoing
More than Ads, Search, Cloud, Android, Content delivery, Smart Homes, etc.
ChromeOS is probably their only positive rn
Max will probably think of something I'm forgetting
Will be interesting the angle Google takes, if they can't get their AI to catch on
Replying to Spooky Phijkchu #spooky.131 ChromeOS is probably their only positive rn
If chromeOS is your most positive thing going, you've got massive, foundational issues
in case you need it early
idk, I don't understand how their logistics network makes sense, unless people are willing to work for slave wages
