Personally I check steam’s popular new releases and upcoming releases lists to stay up to date

Broken promise after promise, missed release date after release date, broken feature after broken feature after every rework

it’s clearly a fucking 13-year-old scam, it’ll be goddamn voting age before it’s released.

Early access is one thing, production on this thing begin TWENTY GODDAMN ELEVEN.

thirteen years ago, that ain’t early access, that’s a fucking scam that ain’t ever delivering.

Who are you trying to sell this broken mess of lies to? This is the definition of sunk cost fallacy lol.

Yeah keep having fun without us in your thirteen year old tech demo!! We certainly won’t miss the broken mining ships, the random wipes, the endless bugs that toss you out of your ship into space for bumping into something. I’m sure they’ll get to all the stretch goals too, all 65million dollars “worth”! You really showed us

Automatically assume the worst? WE’VE HAD OVER A DECADE to get to this point.

LMAO you’re the MAGA-parallel here.

Is it really “love to hate” or is it just that after a decade of failed and ignored promises and dates year after year after year nobody has any real faith. 65 million dollars in stretch goals and it’s still a fucking broken mess, endless examples.

The squadron demo fucking crashed when it was shown at the con, yet its feature complete but also not releasing until 2026.

Have you even seen the insanity that is the stretch goals? https://robertsspaceindustries.com/funding-goals

It’s all but a grift, and here you are defending the grifters. Maybe in ANOTHER decade they’ll actually deliver what people were promised (and paid for!) years and years ago.

Looks like a fun game isn’t what is being discussed here.

What IS being discussed is if this so called “feature complete” game is ever gonna come out. If its feature complete how is it crashing in the first demo they show? 2026 is a long ways away for a feature complete game.

As a dev, I realize feature complete doesn’t mean done but it also doesn’t mean an extra two years lead time before release either.

Just like the rest of Star citizen, aspirational date after date with no serious commitment. What they do release is either a little or a lot broken. This shits been going on for over a decade, but yeah it’s totally different now (but like, not now, but in 2026!)

….but it lOoKs LiKe A fUn GaMe!!!

My boss LOVES to throw that out all the time as a defense for when I inform him that he and mgmt are rushing something out the door that isn’t ready.

It definitely has wisdom but it’s not something to wave around all the time either.

Not that that’s the problem here, SC ain’t ever coming out and it’s not because of perfection. It’s because it’s a scam lol

I’ve literally had zero bugs while playing, have you? Other commenters seem to agree with my experience as well. Have you even played the game?

I agree but I’ll also add WITH A CO-OP OPTION

side-loading in iOS has been possible for some time now

Absolutely, in addition to this, you can sideload apps as well without issue. I do it all the time

and iOS supports sideloading, don’t twist reality. The elitism is dripping from every word of your comment. It’d be alright if your comments were based in reality but they aren’t :/

is it a fair comparison to draw when someone only knows how to use a VPN if it’s in the App Store

This whole thread is absurd, sideloading is possible on iOS, end of story. As per the original OP, their comment is 100% about sideloading

My message is clearly talking about side loading. Don’t twist my words.

This is why you don’t buy into closed-garden ecosystems like this.

You can absolutely set up a VPN without any app, thus your argument of how this is a reason why the walled-garden concept is flawed. iOS also has side-loading btw :)

There’s really only one choice if you care about freedom.

There really isn’t just one choice if you care about freedom, it’s ironic you think a singular choice is the way forward anyway when talking about freedom. Really interesting how you shape this narrative based on zero facts.

Lastly, I think it’s very funny that you think Google is someone you can trust to give you freedom

Wish they would instead use it to create NPCs with actual depth and the ability to respond more naturally instead of the same lines over and over

Nobody used the damn thing, but shuttering it makes them cowards? k

The fate of Mozilla is sad, I know one day they will announce a move to chromium.

why the fuck would they kill the thing that makes them money? Do you even understand what you are implying here??

There is, I just saw a post trying to demonize Mozilla simply because they had a few job listings for AI and Ad managers and the take away in the post itself was like “I see they have fully pointed the ship towards a future of AI and Ads”, like are you serious??? A few job listings is enough to paint the entire future of the company lol

How does this belong in memes??? thete isn’t a single meme able thing in this image, it’s not funny or interesting either. It’s brain dead fanboy fullshit, as many in the comments have shown.

Lame as fuck

Absolutely, well put!! It’s honestly sad in my eyes

I’ve given up especially when it comes to Linux vs Mac on the topic of open source. People will have such a violent reaction that they cannot possibly consider Apple as anything else but the literal antithesis of open source.

if you think Apple has a place in open source, you’d be right, but you’ll also get attacked for it because Apple bad.

Only a handful of months ago Apple released open source AI models that run on-device.

It’s so obvious over many years that Apple has always gotten their hands dirty in the open source world going back to even before the birth of OSX, both with use and contributions, yet this is stomped out by the notion of expensive and elitist Apple could never and would never actually bother contributing to open source codebases
