They do point out that they will be monitoring how it’s used, and could adjust things later.

Sounds like corporate-speak for “if people abuse this, we’ll lock it down harder.”

Even if people are using it to share with actual family around the country, they may get caught up in future updates that remove that feature. Also note that any publisher can opt out of the sharing. If EA or Ubi or some other big company doesn’t like the lack of limits, they may be able to force Valve’s hand in changing the policy.

The idea is wonderful, but there are a ton sof ways this could end up worse than the old system.

Sony bought all the “Xbox is dead” talk (true or false doesn’t matter, Sony believes it), and has started the high-end gaming console monopoly pricing.

Old, but still mostly relevant:

There are things I disagree with Harris about, but this cycle, I’m a single issue voter.

That issue is “never having to experience Trump in any office ever again.”

Hopefully my politics can be a little more nuanced next time.

The thing is, there will come a day when only bots will be able to get these right. The only way into a site will be to answer incorrectly, to prove you’re human.

“Well pay you millions of dollars to keep doing your work.”

Ok, but I’m not changing my message, I’m no sellout.

“No worries, it’s perfect as is.”

That’s not a victim, that’s a perpetrator. Whether they knew who was bankrolling the operation or not (they probably did), the fact that their message aligned perfectly with opponents of their country is enough.

Gameboy Advance had single-pak link (buy one copy, play with up to 4 linked devices) 20 years ago.

Greed has defeated the technology, though.

How dare my meddling not work out, you’re all fired!

In a world where every person is free to share their opinion directly to a mass audience, *we need trusted experts in various fields more than ever.

No, they’re not necessarily going to be concentrated only in traditional media, but if I’m looking something up real quick, I’m more likely to trust some random author on a real news site than some random author on social media. Maybe I’d still get wrong information sometimes, but the odds are better.

In this analogy, when you add a new book, only then is that “deleted” book actually removed and replaced with the new one. Until then, it just sits there waiting, but since nothing is pointing to it, it’s hard to find.

When someone recovers a file, what they’re doing is going book by book and reconciling the index to see if there’s anything missing. Since this book still exists, it can be recovered.

But it looks like so much fun

idk, the Combs/Combs ticket is promising to give Combs a cabinet position and Combs at chief justice. Seems pretty strong.

And as soon as the young spelling pro gets “eye”, throw “ewe” at them.

Most “Q” words are weird to start with, then just adding a bunch of silent vowels at the end doesn’t make it any less so.

I’ve always liked Open Camera. Of course YMMV depending on your device.

edit: it’s also on F-Droid if that’s your preferred store.

• HL3 rumors
• HL3 announcement
• HL3 release
• HL3 is finished by multiple independent people, confirming the whole thing isn’t just a troll job by Valve <— This is when I start to believe it’s actually happening.

He’s more of a turtle golem.

Not a scientist by any means, but this article (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3767421/) says men have a 3:1 difference in the rate of Antisocial Personality Disorder.

Another: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3920596/

There is compelling evidence from behavioral genetic research that heritable influences are of importance in the development of antisocial behavior; approximately 50% of the total variance in antisocial behavior is explained by genetic influences. Yet, there is also evidence of a large environmental effect, both shared and non-shared environmental influences have been found to explain the remaining half of the variance.

Obviously I don’t mean to suggest that everyone with ASPD is a serial killer, it presents in a number of ways, but it’s hard to imagine a serial killer without some sort of disregard for the value of life. This is probably one of many factors that tilt the scale toward violence being much more associated with men.
