Updates generally don't require settings resets. It can happen if there's major changes but that's the exception, not the norm. If Chrome updates revert settings to default with any degree of regularity (I actually don't know if they do, I haven't really touched Chrome in ten? years) that's either gross incompetence or sheer malice.
Honestly, I'm amazed by the hatedom for Starfield. It's ... a Bethesda game (and it's actually better at being a Bethesda game than Fo4). I'm not sure what people seem to have expected?
Considering that OP's teachers apparently beat their students (or at least stand idly by while their colleagues do), I'd argue that they do not deserve one ounce of respect.
There are plenty of multiplayer games I adore. However, it seems like every community has these “brain dead”, patronizing, or out right toxic elements that are just nasty. I’d rather debate politics than make suggestions in some gaming communities because the responses are just so … annoying....
As someone with a competitive sports background (swimming), yeah, no. This shit would get you disqualified and, if repeated, banned from competition for life in most sports. It's not a necessary part of any competition.
No Kompromat needed, just PiS doing PiS things. Poland banned imports of Ukrainian grain (because PiS has a largely rural support base and the farmers don't appreciate the competition), Ukraine filed a complaint with the World Trade Organisation, so now the Polish government is throwing what in political science is called a tamper tantrum.
Think about it; instead of those in charge or the instances deciding who they don’t want to be federated with and thus restricting content for the users, it would be better if users were able to block entire instances instead....
Make your own instance then. As long as you're using a service someone else provides for you (free of charge at that), you have to play by their rules.
Agreed. China is openly hostile towards Taiwan, but it has not committed any actual acts of aggression and none of China's actions warrant a military response.
I remember freely cursing with friends probably starting at 3rd grade or so. Just curious about everyone else’s experiences or if that was even a thing for some of y’all.
Then the rest of the world ought to read Putin's own essay on what he thinks of Ukraine, I can't be bothered to link it right now but it's on the Kremlin's official website if you want to read it yourself. This invasion is a blatant, imperialist landgrab.
China has lashed out at Germany after its foreign minister called Xi Jinping a “dictator” and summoned Berlin’s ambassador for a dressing down, in the latest flaring of tensions with a western democratic power over how the Chinese leader is described overseas.
Hate to break it to you but China is a dictatorship. They don't even pretend otherwise, the primacy of the Communist Party is literally part of their constitution.
Und es ist trotzdem kein rein digitales Ticket geworden. Ich hab zum Beispiel ne Chipkarte von der BVG, einfach weil der nicht im blödesten möglichen Moment der Akku ausgehen kann.
Wenn du kein Handyticket willst, dann musst du dir auch keins zulegen. Gibt genug Verkehrsverbünde die dir nach wie vor physische Tickets verkaufen, und da das Deutschlandticket bundesweit gültig ist ist es völlig egal ob dein lokaler Verbund das nicht tut.
That's even worse though. Plenty of games (e.g. Stellaris and RimWorld) are also available on platforms like GOG or, ugh, Epic. But if you want to use mods and you bought the game on any platform other than Steam it's fuck you.
I know it is, developers can block downloads unless the user is signed into a Steam account that owns the game. But as an end-user that's distinction without difference.
Poland would not hesitate to issue an order to block the import of Ukrainian grain if the European Commission refused to extend the grain embargo on Ukraine, according to Polish Development Minister Waldemar Buda....
It's probably still going to take some projects with it. If you've sunk hundreds or even thousands of manhours into a project you can't just... do it again, or at least not always. Especially not if you've invested money as well as time, which is probably the case for most indie projects that aren't literal one-person shows.

That assumes that everyone will be willing to have children with just about anyone, regardless of their personal opinion of them, and regardless of whether or not they even want children to begin with. You can't selectively breed humans without massive human rights violations.
Noch keine weite Verbreitung. Das Konzept "kostenlose Debitkarte, x€/monat Girocard" sich bei den Banken aber immer mehr durch. Und der Durchschnittskunde in Deutschland ist daran gewöhnt, dass seine "normale" Karte praktisch überall akzeptiert wird (oder jedenfalls überall da, wo Kartenzahlung möglich ist, hat ja lange genug gebraucht bis das üblich war) und beschuldigt daher wohl eher den Laden als die Bank.
Ich glaube nicht, dass das ein echtes Problem ist. Es gibt einfach nicht genug Dienstleister damit das zur übergroßen Hürde wird. In Deutschland sind praktisch nur Visa und Mastercard relevant, gerade wenn es um einfache Debitkarten geht. Der Händler braucht also zwei Verträge, einen mit Visa und einen mit Mastercard, alles weitere läuft zwischen dem Kartenanbieter und der ausstellenden Bank.
In the queue of about 130 people, only 20 are male. Men aged 18-60 are not allowed to leave Ukraine unless they qualify for an exemption. Four of those waiting are young lads who look close to turning 18. To avoid the risk of mobilisation, they must leave before then. Of course, some men find ways to get out anyway, legally or...
I did. Explicitly cheering for Ukrainian deaths or not, they support the invasion, which means they support murdering Ukrainians by default. You can't have it both ways, if you support Russia, you support the murder of Ukrainians.
Ja, jetzt neue Atomkraftwerke zu bauen wäre natürlich Schwachsinn, und die uralten AKWs ewig weiterlaufen zu lassen geht auch nicht. Ändert aber nix daran, dass wir deutlich besser aufgestellt wären, wenn man in den 80ern nicht komplett damit aufgehört hätte neue AKWs zu bauen. Dann hätten wir uns zuerst von Kohle, Gas und Öl verabschieden können und Russland schon 2014 den Mittelfinger gezeigt.
The judgement on vaping is still out. It's not been around for long enough to know what health effects it'll have in the long-term, but since you're still inhaling things your lungs just aren't made to inhale I expect that it will have a negative impact on health.
Is it? Because if you thought I meant "it's better to just smoke" then you've misinterpreted me, I meant "neither is a good idea". If that was ambiguous then I apologise.
We're not talking about 40-somethings who can't get off of cigarettes, we're talking about teenagers who are starting to smoke/vape because they think it's cool.
And your attitude really could use some improvement, you're coming across as a colossal, condescending dick.

The current system is entirely sustainable. It does need reforms, but a regulated market economy combined with strong social welfare programmes is the best economic system we've come up with so far, by a very large margin. Planned economies were attempted, they universally failed.
Correct, all diminutives are neuter in German. In this instance the base word is die Magd (historically the maiden, nowadays the maid), which is grammatically female.
Luis Chamberlain sent out the modules changes today for the Linux 6.6 merge window.

Which they technically didn't. I'm sure Nvidia has a legal team that vetted their solution, they certainly have the money for it. At this point the "protection" against the proprietary driver is just anti-consumer.
If by "do your own research" you mean "read the studies" then by all means, go ahead. If, and I guess that'll be the case for 99% of people without related degrees, you can't understand them you should accept that you're in no way equipped to do your own research.
We're the ones cheering on the war?! Are you shitting me? We aren't the ones bending over backwards to justify this invasion. We aren't the ones justifying Russia indiscriminately bombing Ukraine's cities. We aren't the ones justifying letting loose an army of convicts and rapists on Ukraine's population. Fuck you. Seriously, fuck you.
Unlike Russia, Ukraine is not ruled by fascists and no provinces that want to secede from Ukraine either.
You know, it's fascinating how some people on the left are willing to side with fascism just because it happens to oppose "the West". Talk about ideological inconsistencies.
Putin absolutely couldn't let Prigozhin walk, nobody could have. It's not just about the semi-autonomous mercenary army, if a government lets someone get away with an attempted coup d'état they'd effectively encourage others to give it their best shot as well because there was no effective punishment. Assassination is, well, a very Russian approach to the issue, but every government on this planet would have taken some form of action.
I'm not really surprised. They got more and more open about their assassination attempts for years. They're not meant to covertly get rid of enemies, they're very public warnings to other dissidents. It's rule by fear.
The difference is that the images AIs spit out are, well, real. Imagining someone naked doesn't produce a potentially very convincing actual image that can be shared.
I do think that AI can't really be effectively regulated (my fucking laptop can run Stable Diffusion), but that doesn't mean that there's no need for a debate.
