For the first few years, when it had no profit motive, no way to earn money, and was just willingly bleeding cash to gain market share, it was great! That is the first stage of enshittification and they are now on to stage 2: making the platform good for the real target audience, advertisers.
I love souls-likes, but nothing about them has ever felt organic go me. I view them as akin to rythm games. You learn the attacks, the inputs to counter those attacks, and the timing at which to do those inputs, then just grind it out like a song and dance.
With that view, an attack added in to punish a roll isn’t cheap, it’s just the wrong input, like playing the wrong note in Guitar Hero. (Which is a huge simplification, but you get the idea)
I also love rythm games.
Aye, but AV1 uses math to make the videos smaller, which is the same technology h.264 uses, so clearly it’s patent infringement!
A single bluray movie will run around 50GB and full TV shows can easily be 100s of GBs.
I got one! The “it’s Thursday which is basically Friday so it’s totally cool and normal to have a 6 pack” beer.
Yeah, the beginning of this game is a slog. I did not enjoy the first chapter at all, which sucks since the rest of the game is pretty chill and fun and the start does not represent it.
I was also playing it on the hardest difficulty which is not a good idea for your first playthrough of the first chapter…
The idea of storing age in the OS is that end programs don’t actually access it directly. They get age ranges, like child/adult, not the actual birthdate. In theory, it’s much more private than uploading your id and photo to every random website/app that you use.
Nude readings tax, psychic and advice.
Replace the armored unit with a 1997 Toyota pickup and you’re on to something here.
It’s not a risk of content exposure. By definition, risk is something that may or may not happen. Federating private content is guaranteed content exposure.
There are websites that make it easy for anyone to see exactly who voted on a post. In a similar way, making a site that ignores or highlights private content is an inevitably. Not to mention federated software that doesn’t even know what private content is and will publish it with no malicious intent.
It’s very easy to federate and create your own federated database without the intent of actually using it for piefed/lemmy/etc… It’s one of the biggest downsides to the fediverse: privacy is impossible. Absolutely nothing is stopping Facebook, Google, or anyone else from setting up an instance and gaining direct access to all federated data.
I can’t believe Arthur, my favorite celebrity, gave in to corruption and became a sellout. Now I’m questioning everything. Is the library even fun?
How did you obtain your linux install media without internet? And why did you choose one that doesn’t already have it disabled? And why would you ever put your real dob into it?
End game is to keep systemd OSes legal, even in stupid countries.
Well, AT&T for example requires that you use their provided modem+router combo, which they provide for free (unless you include their plans being generally more expensive than their competitors as an extra fee). They do try to sell you on range extenders for, what I assume to be, the shit router they give you.
Their router gives you less control than you’d get with your own router, helps with lock-in because it makes it harder to change providers, and allows AT&T full root access to your network, so I wouldn’t recommend it for self-hosters. However, it is the cheapest option since you’re requited to use it anyway. Besides, of course, using a different ISP, which saves me tooons of money over AT&T.

I think it really boils down to people tend to only visit it on road trips / vacations that already have a magical aura around them. You’re excited, on vacation, but you’ve been driving for a few hours and decide to take a stop a Bucky’s to get gas, stretch your legs, enjoy the nice amenities, and get some entertainment and cheap snacks.
It’s unique and has lots of things that are fun to gawk at for a few minutes while you’re on a road trip. Random nicknacks nobody would ever buy, but are fun to browse. Tons of prepped food, fountain drinks, a huge coffee station, etc… Something for everyone to have a good time while taking a break from driving for 15 minutes. And nice bathrooms are a huge benefit when you’ve been on the road dodging needles at every other gas station toilet.
STDs asside, IUD’s are not 100% effective. I personally know someone who got pregnant with one and, let me tell you, it is not an experience you want to go through. Especially if you live in a no-abortion state.
The cool thing about contraceptives is that their efficiency is multiplicative. If an IUD is 98% (2 in 100 failure rate) effective and a condom is 80% (20 in 100), you now have a 99.6% (0.4 in 100) effective rate, or a 1 in 250 chance at getting pregnant in a year of regular sex. So, on average you get pregnant once every 125 years.
Sorry, but continuously analyzing all running processes, blocking half of them, and rerouting all of your TLS traffic through a MITM proxy with self-signed certs that break 25% of your software is 100% necessary to ensure the confidentiality of business secrets. And what would our KPIs be without our company-sponsored keyboard logger and mouse tracker?
Also, our internal process relies on this software from 1973 with endless half-baked additions that takes 10 minutes to open, uses 32GB of ram, and idles at 80% cpu and 90% disk iops for some reason.
No, you can not have permissions to delete the icons on your desktop or rearrange your taskbar. Stop asking.
Tbf, their main competitor was Skype…
