My own grandfather is a danger on the road. He’s slowly losing his faculties, which is always tragic but doubly so because this was a deep intellectual. But trying to convince him that it’s really time to stop driving has been… a challenge, shall we say. There’s really only so much you can do in a legal sense.
DM me her phone number. I’ll chew her out.
Until 95% of games have this, and you won’t have a choice.
Pretty sure that in a decade, the norm will be that ads are absolutely everywhere. Only holdouts (think Kojima etc) and tiny indie setups will be able to avoid it. Every AA+ title will be riddled with it, and just like you can’t imagine people just “accepting” that today, we couldn’t imagine people “just accepting” microtransactions fifteen years ago. Yet here we are.
Fuuuuuck, end of summer. I could’ve gone without noticing.
True - after over a year of regular posting with literally 0 engagement. I don’t need this to get eyes on some kind of profitable project I have going on. I just wanted to share my interests with like-minded people. But turns out, there are very, very few of those around.
Look, I’m not saying this to shit on Lemmy. I’m grateful it exists. But to pretend it’s anything but a footnote in the grand scheme of the internet is delusional.
Our future has already been packaged, marketed and sold to the highest bidder. They’re just laying the legal groundwork now. That means the actual thing is already done - the legal framework only arrives once the facts have already been established.
Until all of that is actually enshrined legally, expect cases of parallel construction to go through the roof.
Fedi seems to have completely stalled in the last year or so. Not noticing a lot of posts. Tried to get a few subs off the ground myself but zero engagement => it’s dead. Guess Reddit wins after all.
Read the article. All the communications were legit, but they looked more suspicious than actual phishing because FedEx is just that inept. Also, bpoint.com.au is a legit domain used by these services.
Samsung Galaxies have gotten 3-5 years of updates for at least a decade. Agree that non-flagships used to get shafted. But EU has now mandated aftermarket updates for specific periods.
Sure we can think of better. It’s just that the only people with the power to change or implement any of it are financially incentivized not to. So they don’t.
Also: “use me to slow down cars if you need to cross. No need to toss me, holding me is enough”.
I dunno, I’d rather be stuck in webbing than having my goddamn back broken.
Only if Reform keeps winning. So make goddamn sure they don’t.
Having just gotten an offer after 9 months of being jobless, I can relate to this. Although the 1k/month hike vs my previous job is a nice incentive.
Some extreme vulnerability was discovered that warranted immediate patching would be my guess.
Like flies on a turd.
A good person is someone who has (almost) no vices. There are obviously varying degrees, and not all vices are equal. But my bar for clearing “good person” is pretty damned high, and I personally don’t make it by a long shot.
“Divide & conquer” remains the elites’ oldest and, by far, strongest trick. One tweet will have you hating <insert any race/gender/age/social status/…> Though subtly of course. Gotta maintain plausible deniability.
