From what I read US intelligence rated the threat as very low.

Feels more like scripted bullshit to help justify a “state of emergency” and canceling elections.

It was gifted to me, so I’m not sure how that would work.

EDIT: Upon reflection though, it would be nice if you could refund your friends for a game they gifted you that you weren’t actually into (as long as you make sure it doesn’t hurt the friends feelings first of course)

I wouldn’t know when they dropped the Linux client was the day I dumped the game

Bring back the Rocket League Linux client or eat a fucking dick, Epic.

Some folks forget Rocket League had a perfectly running Linux version of the game UP UNTIL Epic bought it and shitcanned the Linux version.

Removed by mod

…for what, specifically?

Yeah this fat ass ain’t a contortionist

Some folks browse using Tor or other high-privacy respecting browsers, in which things like NoScript are a default.

Anyway, yeah, NoScript is still pretty popular and if I recall correctly you can whitelist and regex with it. I just use the same functionality to disable javascript that is in uBlock Origin, personally.

It’s interesting to me because while it’s mostly correct in each instance I tried it (phone, desktop) it actually gets some pertinent information incorrect.

For one, it only recognized the one monitor I had the browser open on, I have four monitors, so it got the resolution correct for a single monitor, but fails to capture the others, and so technically if I opened it on a different monitor with a different resolution (I had two that have different resolutions), that aspect of the fingerprint should change.

Secondly, when I went to this link from my cell phone it registered it as me typing the link in by hand while on PC it correctly registered where the link originated from (here on lemmy). Although I was using Jerboa on Android so perhaps it can’t read link origin from Jerboa (which is good).

Finally, it registers my Wayland session as X11, although I’m not sure if that’s a current limitation of browsers since Wayland isn’t the dominant compositor yet and perhaps hasn’t been added to browser user-agent info yet.

Gee I hope he doesn’t jack off

The second half of this statement is debatable

I mean, I’d daresay the gaming community has a large community dedicated to both accessibility and preservation, they’re just generally frowned upon because it’s, you know, piracy. However, only through piracy can I get an original release copy of Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2 for PlayStation, Dreamcast and Windows. You can only get re-releases, remakes, and the like, often which do not hold up to the original in terms of style and control.

This baby boy is 26, meaning he was 25 when these comments were made. Anyone acting like this problem will go away when the elderly bigots begin to die off is a fool. Further, as he is a Democratic Socialist, it’s just one more for the pile of evidence that the LGBTQ+ community could never and still can’t count on “the left” for support and representation.

People act like these businesses haven’t done the math already. They did the math and people who think like we do are in such an extreme minority that even if every single physical game user boycotts entirely, they’ll still be making more money than they were before. It’s why mobile games embraced chasing whales at the cost of the quality of experience for the casual player. Fortnite was going to be an actual paid game beyond it’s current implementation, but that got dropped entirely for the free-to-play pay-for-skins cash-cow it became. If it’s profitable, they don’t give a damn if it sucks for most people.

We are in a stage of capitalism in which all available markets are saturated, and now to continue increasing profits year on year the only way to make that happen is to cater to wealthier customers who can afford the price increase that offsets the loss of the poorer customers.

I’m not even near the fires and I’ve been cooped up inside for days because the AQI is insanely bad all over the state.

The fact that the US has turned literally everything into something you can gamble on really shows how much of a failure of a society the US truly is.

The social contract has been dead for 50 years and yet people younger than fifty still out there acting like nothings wrong, and all you need to do is “get a better job” and everything will be fine.

Man I’m not sure getting a better job is gonna help me escape climate change exacerbated wildfires, nor the gambling markets that incentivize arson.

This brings the same energy as “somehow Palpatine returned.” Come on, we all know how.

Those indeed can be fun but be aware they’re almost assuredly doing facial recognition on their users, and the whole system works by always retrieving the files themselves from a remote server, I’m fairly sure they don’t even cache on your phone (I could be wrong there, though). It’s really up to you if you think it’s all fun enough and worth having fun socializing with your friends with the risk of lack of privacy in that respect. Maybe you can keep it to a minimum of anything important being talked about? Unless you have a major reason to worry about being targeted, most people can probably safely dip in just for a handful of throwaway conversations with friends.

Sorry other folk don’t read modern slang.

It’s path down the hill was algorithmically determined but it’s actually a black box so I can’t tell you why it followed the path it did at all actually.
