Wait, you can refund your kid?!

If the recording equipment came with a subscription to a cloud storage provider that automatically uploaded everything you record on it by default and they did not report it to the authorities. Yes, we should.

I didn’t imply that. You did by leaving an overly hostile response to a comment about an article you didn’t read with objections that were addressed before you left your comment.

Nah, mate. Wanna take a guess at what actually does stand out as rather asinine and contributing nothing to the point?

So you took one sentence out of context and used it to dismiss the rest of the comment with objections that had already been addressed by the parts you dismissed?

Sounds like you’re having a bad day. I even gave you a quote from the article that answers your exact question. Everything okay at home?

The school would still have to be the one buying the books so they just won’t buy any book they deem inappropriate. I’m sure this is mainly just to stop zealots from banning everything related to evolution. Also, I haven’t read Naked Lunch but from what I know of it, I doubt it has anything kids can’t get on the Internet nowadays.

From the article:

The bill permits restriction in the case of “developmentally inappropriate material” for certain age groups. The measure also requires local school boards and the governing bodies of public libraries to set up policies for book curation and the removal of library materials, including a way to address concerns over certain items.

Them banning the bans makes me chuckle.

We don’t need Batman, at this point, we need Manchester Black.

I also believe he should face an appropriate sentence. What’s the sentence for hunting without a licence in NY?

Oh, God. I started Kingdom Come Deliverance a couple of years ago and spoke to a girl in the starting farm which, apparently, is how you trigger the DLC. I finished the whole thing thinking it was just a long mission and ended up with her becoming a badass only to be thrown back to the main game in the body of the useless kid and haven’t touched it ever since.

Yep. Honestly, Lemmy feels like a circlejerk sometimes.

How dare you speak out against Steam?! Can’t you see they’re the good guys?!

Metro Exodus was like 5 bucks just a few months after launch. Since it’s the sequel to a very successful series, I have to imagine it did terrible.

Edit: Nope. It was one of the best selling games of all time.

Oh, yeah, already did it. I was more so speaking to the experience a regular user would get out of the box.

lol this is the exact same rethoric people were spewing when Windows 7 went EOL because Windows 10 was sooo bad and now everyone’s fighting tooth and nail to keep using it. W11 is basically a better skin on W10. Just move on.

Honestly, I don’t get the hate of Windows 11. Sure, compatibility is a shitshow but if you can install it, it’s better than W10. I updated a couple months back and was pleasantly surprised. Things I like:

• Improved tiling
• The new terminal app is actually usable.
• More consistent theming
• Settings menu is no longer useless
• Last two points combined result in me not getting flashbanged nearly as often as I did in W10
• Improved volume mixer. I even ditched EarTrumpet.
• Most people won’t care about this one, but the little pop-ups that appear when you hover an icon in the system tray don’t get stuck in your screen as much as they did in W10.

Things that got worse:

• The start menu. Seriously. Stop with the redesigns.
• Taskbar is no longer movable. I liked it on the left.
• They hid the right click menu under an additional “More options” menu for some reason

Disclaimer: I only use my Windows computer for playing games. I do all of my regular day to day computing on my laptop with Fedora (KDE spin because I’m not a godless heathen I like it better). I’m also running the Education version, which is basically Enterprise so I have feature updates straight up turned off and only get security updates. It also doesn’t have any ads but my ROG Ally has W11 Home and it doesn’t have any ads either, so I don’t even know what’s real anymore.

And 1 copy is also less than 2 copies.

IIRC, the payday loan comparison he does assumes 30-something months at 365% yearly interest. Where did these 175 days you’re talking about come from?

Edit: I did not remember correctly. Disregard this comment.

Why would I swap a game for my friend to try it out when the next sale will probably happen in a couple of weeks? Literally yesterday I bought The Master Chief collection for a fiend for 10 USD. The second-hand market only really applies to anti-consumer companies like Nintendo where several years old games still retail for launch price.
