I’ve been following the development of these games for about 12 years, both SkyBlivion and SkyWind. Sadly I’m probably not at the age anymore that I would realistically be interested and have time to sit down and play these open ended games again. I’m really bummed about that after waiting all this time, but each year that goes by I’m less and less excited about these games getting released, I just don’t have the desire to play them anymore.
That was my polite way of ending the conversation, I disagreed with the person, but I got tired of arguing about the metaphore and burgers, etc with someone who was clearly not gonna let this go.
“I don’t like being watched while consuming anything, really.”
“Yeah, but bro, you’re too stupid to realize why they’re doing it, let me tell you why!”
So… Can you opt out and talk to a person without having your face scanned? I really don’t want another piece of identity that can be stolen and used against me in the form of identity theft or worse, in yet another database.
“It’s the FBI Michael, how hard could it be to run?”
I don’t really use them, so I don’t have much of an opinion, but I agree with your assessment.
I guess I should put more mindfulness into how I’m consuming restaurant food then, lol either way I think we can put this hypothetical to bed.
I’m commenting on literally being watched though, so let’s say you get up to go to the bathroom after your first bite the chef marks that as ‘didn’t like his burger’ because you took a bite (watched 1 episode) and didn’t continue to binge eat the burger (binge the whole season by the end of the month), BAM because you had a life event you couldn’t control, you now hate the burger and hate the show.
This is not a fun way to consume anything.
The thing I hated about Netflix was the stress of knowing i was being watched with my viewing habits and that affected how they decided to cancel or continue shows.
Imagine being a customer at a restaurant and the chef is in the back watching you eat, saying things like:
“well, if he doesn’t eat the whole thing in less than 10 minutes that means he probably hated it and won’t continue to buy more burgers, so we should just remove it from the menu now and never serve that burger again.”
Who the fuck wants to ‘relax’ and watch stuff when i know if I start watching something and stop after episode 1 because I liked it, realize my partner might also like it, and I wait 3 months to watch it together (not within their 30 day or whatever window), knowing that might contribute to Netflix canceling a show that I fucking liked in the first place!
SO RELAXING GUYS!
So no, I don’t stream stuff anymore. I’m sick of paying for content that constantly gets canceled, and also experiencing stress while doing so.
Even if it was foss, it would still be a chromium based rendering engine. Basically Firefox and apple’s WebKit are the only things to run to that isn’t chromium based, the web is barely staying ‘open’ as it is.
The maintainer Catfriend1 set the whole repo to private and apparently transfered the repo/code ownership, and signing keys to someone else without telling anyone? There’s some more to it, but the maintainer didn’t choose to share any info with the public, and it makes it seem highly suspicious what their intention and motivations are/were with the codebase.
sigh
posting for others…
From what I learned about the video, HDMI is an organization that charges licensing fees for the port, logo, and revisions to be included in devices, charging between $5-$10,000/year for licensing plus per unit fees, and more for specific revision features, while Display port is just a connector/protocol with no licensing encumbering it, and supports all the HDMI features and more.
This is highlighted by the new Steam Machine from Valve where it includes both a display 1.4 port, and an HDMI 2.1 port, but the HDMI port isn’t listed as a 2.1 port because it can’t legally be licensed for Linux machines, so to get around this valve just didn’t label it 2.1 even though it supports 2.1 capabilities.
The creator of the video is rightfully calling for the industry to shun and abandon HDMI as a port, and just use the royalty free and unencumbered display port.
Ah damn, that doesn’t have a backlight, does it?
You forgot the part where this former reality TV host, told you to vote for the other former reality TV host, who then pushed your rent and grocery bills even higher.
Oh, and the OP that posted this article, also told you this time last year to vote for anyone but the person who was directly competing against said former reality TV host who pushed your rent and grocery bills even higher.
Its a fun circle of influence!
I’m gonna take the title at face value and assume they will be released to Trump. After the senate sends the bill.
Its because he’s putting on the show, to impress those people because he looks up to and idolized them. Everyone else he’s around, his staff, the American public, our foreign allies he literally doesn’t give a fuck about and so he doesn’t need to smile, laugh, or impress them because he depises being around them. Fun times.
Based on that thread, I might just use syncthing from termux from now on. The handling of this situation really does not inspire confidence…
Yup, the Dell business line laptops are a joy to work with, the consumer lines… God no. And as someone mentioned already, HP is the worst as far as their consumer line stuff goes. Had a friend’s laptop I was trying to swap out more ram and had to take the whole thing apart just like you did because it was a molded plastic shell with no access hatched or anything.
Number munchers! haha i haven’t thought of that game in probably 25 years, damn. Good times.
I’m not sure it favors some of us, as it’s a sign all of us collectively have gotten waaay too comfortable letting pieces of shit off the hook for their behavior. If we ever make it out of this I think we need to swing pretty hard the other direction on ‘tolerating’ people being total fucking assholes to everyone else in their career, in politics, in public. Call that shit out, shun them, make them understand freedom of speech does not allow you to literally spew hate speech, threaten people, and generally be a corrupt asshole. None of anyone’s behavior in the GOP since basically 2016, is okay. Obviously this has been going far longer, but 2016 election is when it went full gloves off.
