While true, 568m is a significant cost of doing business. Also remember that a punitive action should not make the company go bankrupt, it should make them rethink.

And if they don’t, the fines will go higher, until they do rethink.

Steam is equally shitty, they just have the advantage of not being publicly traded which means they can create long term strategies and execute them successfully.

Doesn’t mean they’re pro consumer.

Somewhere in between that weird guy and jaded outcast.

I don’t think he’s little anymore.

I mean, not even 500k people in the whole of EU care about this apparently, so we get what we deserve, I guess.

It really looked like it’ll be signed quickly in the beginning, I was really hopeful.

Now I’m not really sure it will pass.

J2ME are old dumb non-touchscreen phones. My last one was Sony Ericsson j108i. And just now reading the Wikipedia entry, it was actually the last non-smartphone phone by Sony Ericsson! Nice.

Damn, the nostalgia is real. And the design still looks much better than smartphones which look pretty much all the same. Back then, phones had personality.

The Sony Ericsson phones in particular had very advanced J2ME support that I didn’t see that much difference between that and my first smartphone (Nokia C5-03). Not that there weren’t differences, the smartphone was definitely more advanced, but it wasn’t that huge of a leap.

Nope, it doesn’t have a controller built-in and its main purpose isn’t gaming. You can’t run PS games on a Switch, does that somehow magically make either not a console?

You can play Mario on old dumb phones using J2ME emulators.

Everyone also always forgets that they save money on distribution massively. And that the amount of games sold has increased significantly.

It’s not as simple as dollars had more value, games should cost more.

It’s a console and a PC in one package! Or you feel like the other consoles don’t have an operating system in them?

You can play Switch games on Steam Deck! At least I do. Some play even better than on Switch.

Does Dungeons 3 or 4 count? If so, these games are great.

I’ll take pessimist takes on technology over calling everything porn any day.

That game’s really great, definitely better than at launch. Still many bugs, but it’s been fun playing with my partner on our local server.

PHP_EOL depends on your host system, it’s \r\n on Windows.

I don’t really want to use what Lerdorf intended, PHP <= 4 was horrible, 5.x was mainly getting slowly rid of nonsense and with 7.x PHP started its slow path of redemption and entered its modern era.

While Lerdorf’s vision was great at that time for its intended use case, I wouldn’t want to build anything serious in it.

In PHP it exists as well. I try to use PHP_EOL but when I’m lazy I simply do “\n”.

PHP: 0.3*

* with default precision

Did you miss the “extremely precise” part? So no, not really.

Not really. Long time ago I was used to a mouse with ~3000 dpi and after a few years I was extremely precise with it. Also faster, obviously.
