And GOG. They used to have several games up there, and then delisted them.

query,

Windows 7 is my last Windows. Windows 10 is my current Windows. Looks like a safe bet to keep skipping at least one version. I did also go from XP to 7.

I might agree if Google had nothing to do with YouTube. But since it’s theirs, I would only be worried about individual content creators and archivists, and they’d be better off with a support mechanism not controlled by Google. The ones not already raking it in with Google’s, I mean.

Appeal rejected, but familiarize yourself with the content policy for future reference?

I imagine they’re banning people all over the place now, I got banned from a sub for talking about apartheid in Israel a while ago.

query,

The AIs are the ones gaslighting.

query,

we should be paid our fair share for every data point they collect.

And every time they sell it, every transaction it leads to.

query,

It’s only politics because people go out of their way to oppress them. There’s nothing to be political about if people are allowed to be who they are.

query,

Russia really should reconsider whether it’s worth parking their fleet in a foreign country.

query,

Pay them more, entice more people to work, less workload per teacher.

query,

Is killing the point? Just make it all better. Get rid of DRM and subscriptions to play your own games, let people use LAN and their own servers for multiplayer.

Zelensky: No way of predicting how the millions of Ukrainian refugees in European countries would react to their country being abandoned (archive.ph)

Curtailing aid to Ukraine will only prolong the war, Mr Zelensky argues. And it would create risks for the West in its own backyard. There is no way of predicting how the millions of Ukrainian refugees in European countries would react to their country being abandoned. Ukrainians have generally “behaved well” and are “very...

query,

That’s a weird thing to say. I’d be more worried about whether the refugees will want to go back after the war, to help rebuild the country, or stay in their new lives. As refugees, they may or may not have a choice, but on the other hand, countries might want the skilled workers. The longer the war goes on, the more established they could become elsewhere.

It’s not, though. This is lemmy.ml, the OP is from lemmy.ca.

query,

Apu was one of my favorite characters, and next to the rest of Springfield I wouldn’t say he was portrayed as any kind of bad guy. But I think it’s entirely fair to find fault with him and the stereotypes used.

The “This is why we can’t have nice things” guys are the ones who use this type of character to mock people of Indian descent. Having heard about their experiences, I would say that the bare minimum that should be done is involve someone from the community you’re portraying, when creating a character who stands out as someone of that community.

query,

I think the main issue with this is that pronunciation changes over time, in addition to varying by area. So if we keep changing the spelling, written works will became unreadable faster.

But I would suggest that any band names that use umlauts/foreign letters should be pronounced accordingly.

query,

There needs to be a legally mandated option to turn off all recommendations and tracking, and to require consent to enable it in the first place.

query,

Not sure if you’re being sarcastic, but that’s how they got in trouble with Internet Explorer in the EU.

query,

Fuck no, no sacrifices. Productivity is up, wealth is up, people should be paid more for their time and have more time to spare.

query,

As in, people have literally evolved to be able to drink cow’s milk.

query,

I’m not a big fan of animal agriculture, but I don’t get why milk is singled out, as if we don’t consume the dead bodies of animals, bodies that weren’t “meant for” anything other than sustaining itself.

And we’ve been doing it for thousands of years, selectively breeding and domesticating cows for the purpose. Humans drinking cow’s milk is more natural than carrots being orange.

query,

I don’t think we’ve had data limits for wired internet since moving on from dial-up/ISDN. But I’m still waiting for unmetered mobile data. Here all the supposedly competing providers are advertising 100 GB as unlimited. I’d rather pay for a reasonable specific speed with no metering, than have a connection that is so fast it can use up its monthly quota in an hour.

query,

Such a waste of public resources, to not develop (or fund) free and open tools for everyone, instead of paying for temporary licenses for closed software.

query,

If anything, I would say user data should be a lot more perishable than it is. Original content, answers to questions that don’t need to be answered again with a good search system, those are nice to preserve, but every word from every conversation ever?

query,

Sure, like a config file to export and import.

query,

Download a file, run on any player, on any device. It’s always been more convenient, online services had to catch up to filesharing, not the other way around, and in many ways owe their existence to non-commercial entities showing how it could be done. They might figure out a good way of doing it, until the executives get involved and want to put their stamp on it.

query,

Like hosting your own email server, if you also copy everyone else’s emails to your server for the heck of it.
