They said the same about the Taycan, and the new Macan, and yet those are doing pretty damn well

Whatsapp can fuck off too, for all i care. I’ll be happy to see it leave, so people can switch to something decent instead

x as a service has always been a net negative for the consumer, and a net positive for the seller.

It strips them away from responsibility, because you can sell incomplete dogshit under a promise of future patches, or push something out for a price, and then continue raising the price, as you pump out more stuff into the system.

In the case of games specifically, we’ve all seen the typical outcomes. Low effort slop, with a flood of “micro” transactions at a later date, or complete abandonment

They can get the fuck out of the EU market then

See, that’s what we don’t understand in their legislative genius! Coal? Oil? Trash piles? All of that doesn’t contribute anything to anything, of course, besides padding their wallet with lobbyist money. Jewish space lasers, and chemical typhoon generating planes from the democrats though? That’s where the real problem is

Their description of this sounds like a typical drama movie. “The hackers, their progress is already almost 37% and we can’t mash on our keyboards fast enough to prevent them from getting in! launch another firewall”.

Just say you are careless, and have inadequate security

Having played both, the answer is definitely yes. They’re not particularly long, but really solid

The connector itself is perfectly fine, which is incredible, and exactly what people wanted. Plus there’s a ton of room for technological improvement under the hood, if needed. USB/Thunderbolt standards spread for a whole range of specs now, all under the Type-C connector

I’ve really enjoyed this game, but haven’t bought the first expansion yet though. This one looks quite cool too!

They’ve actually done the exact opposite. The lobbying, the import laws, the absence of a foreign export market, and the manufacturing of cars that would never pass safety laws anywhere else, all resulted in the kind of dogshit that Americans have to experience now. Why improve if you’re the only player

They can keep this privacy invading dogshit to themselves

The most likely answer is it’ll happen when he finally pisses off his own minions enough. He’s more likely to die, before he’ll see any kind of real punishment for anything.

Now that he’s about to rob several millions of people of basic needs being met, maybe things will start moving

We’re talking about a population, where a 1/3lbs burger was rejected for being smaller than the 1/4lbs. But even besides that, the fear-mongering, and the propaganda, have clearly worked

Blatant and unchecked invasion of privacy. This should be not just opt-in, but not even installed by default

Oh no… people will have less ads, without being bullied into paying… what would the billionaires even do. Don’t get avocado and coffee for a bit, i guess

This is a good example of what people consistently overlook/misunderstand, when it comes to Nix.

Obviously you can remount a /home, or just pull the dotfiles from a personal repo, but the strength of Nix is also in that I can re-create my entire config exactly how it is defined. If i were to setup a machine completely from scratch, with a mature enough config, it will get me from 0 to my exact desktop completely unattended.

But there are also many more advantages to it, at least in my eyes. Let’s take trying/tweaking new packages as an example. Yesterday I pulled an old repo for an Outer Wilds mod. The thing needs a dev environment, and a mod manager for the actual game. A nix shell got me both, I finished my work, and when I exit out of fish, both are gone, just as I wanted them to be.

Another good example would be partial os updates. I’ve used Arch for almost 9 years before switching to Nix, and pretty much a top3 Arch rule is not doing partial updates, or partial rollbacks. In case of a breakage, I would have to manually redownload an older version of a tarball, pacman -U the package, and then hope i’m not cooked. In the case of gcc incompatibilities, it can quickly become a massive pain in the ass. My nix flake would never experience this problem, because I already have two different scenarios available - either i build based on an older lockfile from my git repo, or I create an overlay for a specific input I need, so that it still pulls what it needs, and doesn’t interfere with the rest of my system

As much as everyone hates Nintendo, apparently, this means literally nothing for them. This does, however, make the used market a nightmare to deal with

Lawmakers are grappling with how to address …

Just a reminder that the government is actively voting against regulations on AI, because obviously a lot of these people are pocketing lobbyist money

Quite a disappointment, to be honest. I’m still running a 1080ti, and this card is more than capable today. Obviously it’s no 5090, but it runs everything I’ve wanted to play on it, par MHWIlds, which runs on newer systems just as poorly anyway

No one gets a third term, and that’s not negotiable. They can get the guillotine though
