  • Idk about that, Gabe did a bunch of interviews around the time of windows 8 saying that signed app requirements and the windows store fiat that MS was trying to implement was an “existential threat” to valve and that they needed to migrate to a neutral OS as much as possible.

    I’d argue that what we’re seeing now from valve is the fruits of a 10+ year campaign to undermine windows. And MS has been digging their own trench undermining windows at the same time, making their job even easier lol

    But idk if it’s fair to call what valve is doing as “don’t worry about the competition” - I just think they (accurately) view MS as their competition instead of epic or EA or whoever is trying to do pc game stores








  • In what way? Healthiness of a time standardization seems like it would be hard to validate. I personally prefer DST I’ve never considered either healthier or unhealthier. I remember hearing statistics about an abnormal number of car accidents and stuff happening the Monday after DST/ST changes. I’ve also heard some rhetoric about risk of car accidents with kids walking to bus or school being mitigated by standard time.

    I’m assuming you mean something less acute than those which are focused on immediate outcomes like death lol? The only thing health related I can think of is daylight exposure and vitamin d levels, but it seems inconsistent whether people are more likely to take advantage of extra morning sunlight or evening sunlight. Seems like it would be a wash?

    Anyway, I’m legitimately interested to know what you mean by “healthy”
