And the “The Walking Dead: Destinies” is missing too. Since they included games that are merely mediocre in the list, they forgot some that are truly atrocious.

jmcs,

Or something that would indirectly kill Jafar, like teleporting him to the moon.

jmcs,

I wouldn’t call it underappreciated since it was well received in its time, but Star Trek: Judgment Rites was amazing.

I wish there would be more narrative focused Star Trek games like that. Either a Disco Elysium style non-combat focused RPG or a modern adventure game.

jmcs,

It depends on how familiar you are with old point and click games. If you aren’t used to them, it can be quite frustrating, but even then I think it would be enjoyable if you use a guide to unblock yourself when you get stuck.

jmcs,

Taking into account the Pope had to outright fire a bishop in Texas because he went full MAGA (including speaking at Trump supporter rallies trying to overturn an election result), I wouldn’t say he doesn’t have anything to do with it.

jmcs,

I vote whoever decided to hold the vote on Google Forms.

jmcs,

Why does it need to be a fediverse alternative, instead of icalendar/rfc-5545? Using activitypub for this sounds like a privacy nightmare.

jmcs,

How many people could we save if we harvested you for spare parts? You can’t, or at very least shouldn’t, make moral decisions on arithmetic alone.

jmcs,

What’s the difference between this and socialhub.activitypub.rocks/t/…/3588?

jmcs,

It’s happening to me too. It started when my instance updated to 0.19.

jmcs,

Bethesda introducing an official way to sell mods solved the legal problem of using the game’s assets.

jmcs,

Link aggregators are supposed to help filter the crap out.

jmcs,

I’ve a counter proposal, we make Austria-Hungary a thing again, but with current borders, and build a 50m high wall around it.

And then we allow Romania and Bulgaria into Schengen.

jmcs,

To reduce input lag and provide smoother visuals.

jmcs,

If by animations you mean smoothly moving the mouse and windows while badly optimized apps and websites are rendering, yes.

jmcs,

F’ing starfleet time travelers. Now Daniels has to clean it up all over again.

jmcs,

Corporations are people in the legal sense everywhere (i.e. they are subjects of the law with rights and duties). The novelty in the US is that the archaic constitution allowed the US Supreme Court to be creative in assigning rights that every other country assigns only to natural persons to legal persons. In the case of Poland, for example, the constitution explicitly mentions legal persons when rights are supposed to apply to corporations too.

jmcs,

While formally there’s no precedence, court decisions still influence jurisprudence (I.e. the interpretation of the law), especially when supreme courts are involved.

From the Wikipedia article on Civil Law:

In actual practice, an increasing degree of precedent is creeping into civil law jurisprudence, and is generally seen in many nations’ highest courts.[11] While the typical French-speaking supreme court decision is short, concise and devoid of explanation or justification, in Germanic Europe, the supreme courts can and do tend to write more verbose opinions, supported by legal reasoning.[11] A line of similar case decisions, while not precedent per se, constitute jurisprudence constante.

The last sentence also explains why Sony tried to do this in Germany: they were hoping to have a book sized legal thesis they could shop around in other European courts.

realcaseyrollins, to technology

Meta didn’t say why, but the EU’s Digital Markets Act could be the culprit.

jmcs,

They could comply with the DMA by opening up Facebook Messenger to everyone (for example by reintroducing XMPP), so no this is not because of the DMA (besides the “look at what you made me do” abuser’s mantra), it’s because Facebook will stop at nothing to trap users in their platforms.

jmcs,

He also has an omnipotent trickster god that decided to make him a better person as a hobby. There’s no way Q wouldn’t turn Picard’s casino trip into one of his “trials”.

jmcs,

They spend “a billion dollars a year supporting third-party games coming into Game Pass”, not total (I know the headline says over a billion but it’s still a bit misleading).

jmcs,

The question is if Game Pass is profitable enough (especially considering it’s increasingly the bread and butter of Xbox), or if Microsoft is keeping an unsustainable pricing strategy to try kill competition and will enshittify the service later (like YouTube for example)

jmcs,

Because I have to live on the same planet as the people that spend their time on radicalization tools? Because the more closed platforms are used, the bigger the damage to the open internet they do? Because I can’t even get current information on my neighborhood without it being mediated through an oligarch’s platform because “that’s what everyone else uses”? Because even elected officials are posting information that’s not available to people that don’t sign up to a service that’s owned by neo-nazi?

jmcs,

Why are they in contact with the family and not with the reporter directly? It’s not like we are 1823 and communication has to be sent on precious missives traversing dangerous seas.

jmcs,

The agreement says the tax is going to be collected to the subsidiaries in countries that implemented the agreement. IANAL but one problem I see with Switzerland in particular is that they have a free trade agreement with the EU, so I think they could get away with officially selling goods and services directly through the main company in Switzerland and avoid having profits in their subsidiaries.

jmcs,

He’s talking about the tankies that keep defending a fascist regime with a colonialist imperialistic mindset. My prediction is that either they are raging homophobes themselves like papa Stalin or they will ignore it.

jmcs,

The fact he used the expression alleged, indicates he knows they are actually fascists cosplaying as socialists.

jmcs,

Maybe the filter rules required specifically for YouTube don’t work with those rule formats, I don’t know!

That’s all you need to read from the article. The author doesn’t know how ad blockers work (which is fine, I’m also no expert) and completely ignores the ad blockers developers expertise (which is not fine).

jmcs,

Funnily enough their biggest expense (sending SMS during registration) is making the accounts less private.

jmcs,

Anonymity is a form of privacy. While for most people it’s not necessary to be anonymous to have privacy, it’s essential in some cases, like whistleblowers or people living under dictatorships (or even in some democracies where governments keeps trying to get their paws on all metadata).

jmcs,

Because their algorithms have a clear negative impact on Europeans mental health and are contributing to the deterioration of democracy? Or because they are thinly veiled front for Chinese intelligence services?

jmcs,

The data is already processed in Europe, that doesn’t change. The fact that they are getting marching orders from the CCP also doesn’t. And even if they were Europeans what they are doing should be a crime.

jmcs,

Letting people build a Heroin-Cyanide candy factory would also bring jobs, I still think it should be illegal.

jmcs,

With climate change related conflicts (especially water conflicts) rising exponentially, I don’t think there’s going to be a shortage of demand for ammunition any time soon.

jmcs,

instances where player ships have New Atlantis attached

What?

jmcs,

That’s basically what public transport is.

jmcs,

Only if the UK wanted to fully rejoin the EU. Countries can join the European Economic Area without joining the EU, like Norway and Iceland did for example - the downside being they are bound by rules they don’t have a right to vote on, even if in practice the EU always consults them.

jmcs,

The first Intel Macs used a 32 bit Core Duo CPU. And while they were discontinued at the end of 2006 (with the exception of the 1st gen Apple TV which lasted until 2010) applications released after were often still 32bits to support them for several years.

jmcs,

I wonder how many people still use the 1st gen Intel Macs, especially considering they were only sold for 6 months.

jmcs,

Mac OS itself won’t run 32 bits apps since 10.15 (released in 2019).

jmcs,

There are lots of people that should have permanent accommodations in The Hague. They are usually very good at identifying other criminals too.

jmcs,

First eww.

Second, why is he missing coffee when coming back from a coffee producing region? (And I know this is a matter of taste, but I personally think Ivory Coast produces some of the best coffee in the world)

jmcs,

Won’t you think of the bankers? Do you want them to not only lose access to interest rate free loans from everyone but also to reduce the probability of a bailout when their gambling addiction catches up with them? /S

jmcs,

gameplay type … survival

Bethesda never claimed starfield would be a survival game.

jmcs,

And they knew from the very beginning ads would corrupt the search engine because Sergei Brin and Larry Page wrote an article about it:

Up until now most search engine development has gone on at companies with little publication of technical details. This causes search engine technology to remain largely a black art and to be advertising oriented

…

Currently, the predominant business model for commercial search engines is advertising. The goals of the advertising business model do not always correspond to providing quality search to users

…

Furthermore, advertising income often provides an incentive to provide poor quality search results […] In general, it could be argued from the consumer point of view that the better the search engine is, the fewer advertisements will be needed for the consumer to find what they want. This of course erodes the advertising supported business model of the existing search engines. […] But we believe the issue of advertising causes enough mixed incentives that it is crucial to have a competitive search engine that is transparent and in the academic realm.

jmcs,

That comes with an asterisk because we still don’t know the number of people that died in Mariupol - Ukraine estimates at least 25000 and Associated Press estimates at least 30000 based on satellite pictures of mass graves.

If Israel resumes the indiscriminate bombing campaign they will catch up with those numbers fast though.

jmcs,

This is primarily to ensure we can support the load for developers on GitHub and help protect the servers from being overwhelmed by anonymous requests from bots etc.

So, Azure’s bot protection is crap. Good to know.

jmcs,

Morgoth was a Vala, probably even the most powerful among them.
