Remember when Iraq had weapons of mass destruction?

Same thing.

A heart attack or any other kind of attack, tbf.

It can be quite simple: the government, under user request, can generate a certificate that only contains the fact that you are more than 18 years old and is stored locally in your device. Since it’s the state the one issuing it, the info of the cert can be trusted.

Then, when you log into a service requiring age verification, you log using your device that sends the info from your locally stored certificate, telling the website simply that you are not underage.

The state doesn’t need to know how are you using the cert, and the website won’t receive any personal info because the certification authority is a trusted organsation so the info about it is automatically trustworthy.

I do.

When I fall of my bike, hurt my arm and need a doctor to fix it, I don’t have to think about insurance or medical debt, or anything. I just go to the hospital and go back home to heal without paying a dime and with paid leave for as long as I need to recover.

I also love that I can take an affordable train to go almost everywhere in my country, that universities don’t require a loan so high that you will be paying for it for years… I could go on, but you get the idea.

I love paying taxes because it’s way cheaper than the american alternative.

And you are right but the way I see it, it’s the lesser evil. I think it’s way worse for the world if we have a functioning US state lead by a band of nazis as we have now.

4 hours old account with shitty edgy comments and post. Just report and move on. It’s just another idiot pretending to be a troll while impersonating someone else through links to profiles that aren’t theirs.

Can’t imagine the reason for this to happen…

Storage on google drive comes to mind. Not that I pay for it, but I know it’s something others do.

Good.

Best thing that could happen to the world is that the US failed as a state and went down so hard that they stop screwing with the rest of the countries.

The way I understood it, he’s putting the pro controller in the “premium” category, as the edge and elite controllers. It’s the “most affordable premium option” as if it was on the same league than the other two.

At $84.99, the Switch 2 Pro Controller is the most affordable premium option compared to the Elite Series 2 and DualSense Edge, which both retail around $199.99

My dude is really saying that the switch 2 pro controller (without even analogic triggers) is a “premium” controller better than the elite and edge gamepads?

Mate, how much did Nintendo pay you to say this? Or are you scared that nintendo might stop sending you review items if you tell the truth?

Tbf, I hope nintendo keeps going this route and punishing more and more its customers. After all, if you keep supporting a company that hates you so much, you deserve what you get.

As a general rule, if a corpo is against something the EU does, it means your government should do it too because it’s a good thing.

Whatever could go wrong?

A kitchen toy that tells the kid to prepare a pizza using glue mixed with the mozzarella?

As an accused, it’s your choice to go with this or the traditional process. And there are advantages for you if you decide to go with it instead of the traditional process: for example, if you are condemned, the sentence will be 1/3 shorter.

This is chosen by the accused when the evidence against them is so clear that they know they will be surely condemned.

It’s a win-win situation because the justice system saves time and money and the accused gets a shorter sentence.

We all know this is going to be a chinese off-brand phone made by an obscure company with a history of slave labour that will last less than a swastitruck from ketamine karen.

I’ve seen this at work.

We installed a new water sampler and they sent an official installer to set up and commission the device. The guy couldn’t answer a damn question about the product without chatGPT. When I asked a relatively complex question that the bot couldn’t answer (that was at the third question), I decided that I had enough and spend an hour reading the manual of the thing. Turns out the bot was making up the answers and I learned how to commission the device without the “official support”.

Days ago I discovered vacuumtube for steam deck. It’s basically youtube with tv interface but with all the adblocks. It works wonders in game mode and even has controller support.

Oh that’s so kind of you to say! I have to say, I’ve been pretty down about it all, but writing this up made me so very happy. I really love Lemmy for how easy it is to share these long-form posts :)

Happy to read this (the part about writing this making you happy I mean!!).

Lemmy is great for sharing long posts, much like reddit was before the enshitification. It’s good to see long elaborated posts here among all the memes and other low effort content. And in the case of your posts, they are also a nice read in my mornings because of all the possitivity and joy you can feel when reading them. You really pour a lot of that in your posts and it feels!

Sounds wonderful, I’m looking this up now! It sure sounds weird, but the longer the gaming industry runs and ruins great things, these odd little different ones just make me happy!

I love “'weird” or unconventional games. And right now, it’s the indie world that provides these gems. In an industry that looks for the short-term profit like the “mainstream” videogame one, they rarely innovate anymore. They just pick a formula that works and copy it until they find a more profitable one, so innovation now happens mostly in the indie world, giving birth to games as odd as this one, a yo-yo player bat that goes around a city beating corpo suits to recover a monopoly! You won’t see EA making this kind of game, ever.

Fuck them. I hope it comes the day where all the sports media fail. People pirate because if you follow a sport, the only way to watch it is basically paying your firstborn to a media company. And that if you are lucky. Insports like football, you need at least 2-3 different subs to watch it all, putting the price well over what someone is able to pay.

They also keep raising prices, so year after year, prices go up and all you can do is suck it up.

At this point, it’s no wonder people pirate. I mean, who can afford 100€/month to watch their favorite sport?

Fuck them. I really hope piracy wins in the long term. Keep fighting pirates!
