Comment on CS2 skin update ‘rug pulls’ collectors as $1 billion wiped from market cap in ~games
spicyq Link ParentActually they aren't all fungible. Many skins have random patterns, so two knives of the same type may have dramatically different values depending on how desirable the pattern is.Actually they aren't all fungible.

I use cli tools a lot and they are extremely good for complex tasks, but I don't use many TUI tools and would never explicitly seek out a tool because of it being a TUI. It seems like there has been a resurgence of TUI apps and like you I am curious as to what the appeal is.

spicyq LinkAre you using it for collaborative development or personal projects?

Command line interfaces are great for complex tasks. But there's no need to emulate the protocol of a 1960s terminal, and take on all the baggage that brings, in order to make a command line interface.

This isn't fully true. When half life 2 came out you were forced to use steam, even if you bought the physical disks, and it was a buggy mess. Nobody liked it at the time, but they wanted to play half life 2.
It's better now by they definitely also started by holding anticipated games hostage, not by just being an amazing service.

I don't agree with most of the internet safety and censorship laws passed under the pretext of making children safe, and I don't know how to fix it. But this quote from the article really does bother me
Watching hardcore pornography regularly since before you've even hit puberty must have some effects on your mental development. I don't think we can completely attribute the phenomenon to consenting adults spending their time in the way they enjoy. Though I'm not sure how much of that should be attributed to the normalization of softer sexual content on most platforms either.
