yeah your empathy is really showing here.

from your comment it seems like you think they deserved to die, and immediately copy pasted your wall of text when someone accused you of racism. not a good look i must say.

personally im fine with machine learning, what I don’t like is “AI”, a new marketing buzzword that justifies every shitty corporate exec decision and insane company evaluations.

heavy. heavy is good. i like heavy. sandvich.

i haven’t played it that much since my ping was atrocious, but i would say no. IIRC beside membership and cosmetics that you can buy with gold, i think you can covert it into silver which you can use to progress faster and even buy gear but you won’t gain an unfair advantage or get something that’s exclusive to the MTX shop.

you should read what experienced players have written if you want a more detailed explanation, im just sort of vaguely familiar with the game.

Albion online seems like a good fit for you, although based on your location your ping will massively vary since they only have a few centralised servers.

they would prefer you use their pirated software rather than using their alternatives. if you aren’t someone that would be paying for it anyway, this is the desirable outcome for them. stick it to them by abandoning their platforms all together.

by available i meant available. it’s on a per channel/group basis and not on individual messages but essentially you can’t join or view their messages even if you have their id and even if someone forwards it to you it displays a “this message is nor available on clients downloaded from google play” error message or something similar. if you joined a channel prior and it get blocked from your client you stay in but can’t view its messages.

telegram has different visibility based on which client you are using and your phone number’s region. I’ve seen it firsthand how some channels are not available on telegram downloaded from app store vs direct apk download. unless if you mean in spirit they’re basically the same which i agree but everyone that has used telegram at all knows that telegram values being accessible more than free speech and privacy.

thanks. 32% of malicious traffic is still a lot. the 50% increase in bad traffic in gaming is interesting though.

can’t read this article, can some explain what their definition of bot is?

Roku is a pioneer in most of this crap but don’t be fooled to think that only cheap stuff is gonna have these and that somehow you are safe if you spend a lot on your TV. as it turns out high end and average TV producers would also like to squeeze the tiniest profit margins out of their consumers and if they could get away with it they would do the same.

in fact nowadays most TVs regardless of price are actually collecting and selling your data and in the best case it’s an opt out option in the worst possible place in the menu.

iranian diaspora and sick bastards, but i’m repeating myself.

the actual update size for the application is logical as far as i remember, it’s the other stuff alongside it (i think related to graphics card) which is the real issue. it added around 500MB each update while the actual update itself might’ve been 10 or 20 MB.

purely as an end user i hate how much it downloads with each update and how much it uses the disk space although that’s much less of an issue. i know it’s solving a real problem and relieving a lot of the headaches of developers maintaing packages for each distro’s specific package standard, but it’s simply not the software distribution solution for people without at least well enough internet.

i wouldn’t use any distro with flatpaks as its main way of delivering software and i would in almost all cases always choose alternatives even if it’s outdated. i don’t necessarily hate flatpak itself but for me i don’t want to spend money on extra data cap and wait 30 minutes for a small update for my game launcher to finish.

the appimage of one of the applications i was interested in was 3 times less than the average flatpak update so redownloading the appimage every time would be better. if i installed more packages yeah the math would be better but it’s still wasted data per update no matter how small it actually is. i found out after a while of using flatpak that i wouldn’t just update and was stuck with outdated software anyway.

the first few minutes is a lizard voice monologuing in a black void lmao. you are definitely not going to play it for its gameplay value.

by law i have to mention Disco Elysium. one of the best modern CRPGs you could ever play. its story and setting is fantastic. don’t buy it pirate it if you can the developer studio fell prey to a hostile takeover scheme and the original developers were forced out, they won’t see a cent of it.

don’t know anything about watch dogs legion though it seemed like your average ubisoft triple A (aka shit) so i haven’t played it.
