Also please remember that anything good Dejoy does is just the minimum required to keep him off the Biden administration’s shit list so that he can keep securing contracts for XPO - the private shipping carrier he still has financial ties with.
No, he’s made forced concessions to the Biden administration, but it’s only to placate them enough to keep his position, and double dip with contracts for XPO (the business he used to own and still has financial ties with).
Lemmy.world becoming the default Lemmy instance, and it growing to outsize all other instances is a danger: it makes the Fediverse centralized, easy to take down and easy to take over.

I think the long-term sales of the games you just cited is at odds with your opinions. At this point, Bethesda has made a name for themselves with janky, bug-riddled games with big story, that excel at giving the players a feeling agency. At this point that is Bethesda’s brand image and they seem to be just going with it. Like why would they bother spending more money to fix bugs and exploits that have become a signature to a lot of people? Also it’s costs them less to leave their titles unpolished and let the modders fix it.
So tiny women are incapable of being strong?
Umm… I am an American, and never said anything about hating the place. I dislike the American attitude I encounter daily that everything happening here has more importance and everywhere else is irrelevant.
FWIW, Apple has 28% of the global market share compared to Google at 70%. By the numbers, one is far closer to being a monopoly than the other.
40%+ of the world
That’s dillusional American-centric thinking. Apple only has a 28% market share globally while Android still dominates over 70%.
The TL:DW is Mr. Beast is a master of using gambling psychology to capture kids’ attention, to then sell them horribly unhealthy foods. His contests and giveaways are largely fake and/or are rigged to favor other creators, friends and family. He constantly fails to deliver promised prizes, and he runs live streams that are essentially child gambling masquerading as sweepstakes. He violates sweepstakes laws all the time but seems to get away with it by taking down old streams, and DMCAs any clips that get uploaded by others. He has also promoted a scheme to get his fans to act as child labor and stock/organize his products at Walmart.
VLC can play analog tape?
Yeah, I totally get that, but how are there FOSS applications on iOS that aren’t side loaded? At best you can get paid ports/skins of open source software through the app store, but Apple changes developers a small fortune to put apps in the store, which generally equates to no free apps that don’t rely on ads or in-app purchases.
Please excuse my non-iOS using ignorance, but isn’t FOSS antithetical to Apple’s closed ecosystem and extreme limitations on side-loading?
Keywords there are ‘old Android’. I haven’t had a phone do that classic android slowdown in years.
o7 captain. Fly safe.
Also super cute cat.
Yet another hilariouschaos troll community to block.
Yeah, that seems to be what most people are saying.
I’m not touching that game personally: I read their EULA and it includes the sale of analytics data to 3rd parties.
You have to buy new character classes with premium currency, and they’re not what I would call “micro” transactions. Technically I guess you could earn them through play, but you’d have to willing to grind a lot.
Yes, exactly this. I have a 20-something friend I made through online games who was trying so hard to get me to install this, and he had never even heard of Nexon.
I doubt he really cared about the gas or EV debate, it was just an issue he could use as leverage to get his former company another fat government contract.
