  on A Benchmark Of Sorts: Steam's First Fully Uncensored Adult Novel-Game To Be Released In Coming Weeks

  I'm very glad they have done this - previously the only decent channel for VR pr0n games (which are a LOT of fun) was patreon and they are rarely finished games. Hopefully this will encourage more development.

  on There's A Reason That Misleading Claims Of Bias In Search And Social Media Enjoy Such Traction

  I don't want search engines to show me purely unbiased results (unless I specify that) - I want them to show me things I'm interested in. These things can be identified by my profile, mt past clicks and others clicks on and links to suitable articles.
  
  If I'm looking for the news on the orange idiot, I can imagine it being a safe bet that most people are interested in articles on the orange idiot being an idiot - and a (vocal) minority might be interested in news on what a wonderful job he's doing.
  
  Given that the bulk of the results I get are along the lines of orange idiot is an idiot I guess the engines are working just fine.

  on Over The Top Sports Streaming Comes To Europe With Amazon's Deal With The Premier League

  Let's not get carried away here - there are 380 premiere league matches a year, so Amazon only be broadcasting around 5% of the matches - I agree it's a start but its more of a bonus to Amazon customers than a broadcast-model breaking revolution.

  I wish they would put AT&T's lobbying arm in charge of Brexit - they are clearly experts in the 'cake & eat it' outcome that Mrs May clearly desires.
