It's so bad Apple can just abort M6 Pro and Max and reuse the M5 generation for an extra year because why not, the most powerful alternatives are still playing catch-up with the base M4.

First was Lidarr went for months last year (was it this year?) unable to search/add musicians due to complications with how they were relaying those searches. It took them a long time to refactor that part of the software and make it usable again.

Second was the retirement of Readarr, the ebook-version of this software, which was an absolute shame.

But aside from that this is pretty much set-and-forget software. Although the setting is harder than it should be, should be much easier to favour smallest x265 rips at , lossless audio, season rips with subtitles.

Yikes. These game storefronts are not exactly rocket science, they are like primitive e-commerce sites. IIRC it took Apple and Google less than a year to slap their app stores together and I would certainly expect Epic to have spent very little time on theirs originally.

But I think whatever Epic does is futile anyway, even if they hired the best of HN and hand-crafted a feature-rich masterpiece of a storefront the simple lack of interoperable multiplayer, mods and DLC would still be a massive disadvantage.

But why would Microsoft respond? If you buy a new laptop or desktop it will likely be running Windows and that gives them many opportunities to promote and bundle their software. If you're building a business you will only be choosing between Microsoft and Google's office suites because you're entrenched in their ecosystems.

I think there are still contexts where comments would be superior like when they feed into an OpenAPI spec where the AI or person can't see the code, and information that bubbles up through Intellisense (for humans anyway).

It's not like regulators were just bored and felt like fucking shit up, there is a nearly-global consensus these companies are exploiting consumers and markets.

$560,000 in gross sales

$426,000 after $134,000 in refunds (22% rate, which they describe as "way above" normal 10-15%)

$297,000 after $127,000 contribution to Gabe's next super yacht

$282,000 after $ 14,850 in tax to US

$172,000 after $115,000 to the publisher, which is described as the controversial amount

I think Steam's cut is far more controversial TBH, the publishers at least did something for them and the article suggests successfully. There was no particular service provided by Steam unless you want to count the initial review (it costs $100 to submit anyway).

The worst thing is practically everything you do in this space is going to fail, you can't solve it by adding features, nobody cares about your blog or self-promo posts, the only thing that really works is pouring money into advertising and that's a whole field of expertise too.
