There is this saying : if you didn’t exercise your right to vote, you don’t have the right to complain about the election results either.
Not voting is effectively saying : “don’t care, either is good for me.” So… Yes you did choose this result by virtue of not making your opinion heard when you were asked for your opinion.
“I was not very happy with that. I think in this country, we have to work very hard because there is no substitute for hard work even if you’re the most intelligent guy,”
Dude… If you work hard despite the fact that you claim to be intelligent… You are not intelligent.
Work smart, not hard. The smart thing is to take breaks so that you can focus on what you are doing. Not working till you drop.
The crazy part isn’t that people want to be able to disable that. The crazy part is that they want to pay to disable them…
No you guys, that should just be an option, no questions asked. Included in the options menu for… Well, whatever the asking price of the base game is. Also known as included in the base game.
Right. AI music? Hopefully not, it is likely going to lead to generic slop that may infringe on other artists copyright. AI Podcasts? OH GOD NO! factual news isn’t working with AI and you guys think that opinions with AI is a good idea? Are you crazy?
Now music recommendations? That might just work given that algorithms are already doing a decent job at presenting new ( to the particular user, not by actual age) music that the user may enjoy. The question really is if that is actually better than what we already have. And there is only one way to find out, which is by testing it and then being honest about it.
Dark Souls.
You need to play NG+ and a fair bit of NG++ to be able to get everything on one character.
The hottest year on record… So far.
“beset on all sides, with idiots”
TL:DR:
Government contracts and the money that it brings with it. As well as tryingt to be on a certain politicians good side should he win the election in the US.
Obviously… Ubisoft
Come on… Shitty safety measures have never, ever, in the history of mankind led to catastrophic events with a lasting fallout. -some government that collapsed
After all after some point safety is just pure waste of money. -some dead CEO
It doesn’t take enshittification for something real bad to happen. All it takes is time. Add the mentioned enshittification and corner cutting and we know for sure what will happen…
Or how the saying in EvE online goes : it’s not a question on if your ship gets blown up but a question of when it gets blown up.
“prison warden advocates for locking everyone up for their own safety”
The network providers know full well that the market is saturated and that they have to make a better offer if they want to gain market share. The only thing device lock in does is improve their bottom line since they can force you into a shitty contract for longer. It has NO benefit for the consumer whatsoever.
Money. That’s why.
People double dipping and people that buy it on pc release for full price when that is just too much to ask at that point.
I waited years and years for RdR2 to be at a reasonable price, only bought it because I had a gift card and only needed to pay what amounted to a candy bar. Still managed to get disappointed with the start of the game. In hindsight I should have gotten a refund for it because a candy bar would have been the better choice.
Cool. But I can’t help the fact that it feels like a potential security risk to me. It is not unknown just how low they can stoop to get their way so I would expect that to be no different there.
I do give a shit, and at this point I want to see that platform taken down for good. Because otherwise it’s a platform for nefarious shit and abuse. And no one needs that. Especially not the gullible.
For real. Hacknet uses commands that work like that in the usual Linux terminals. Including the auto complete feature. At the very least you will learn the basics from that game. As for if you should start to play it. Well the question is if you enjoy a puzzle game with a story that is hacking themed using actual terminal commands to do stuff. If that sounds like fun the go for it.
Ah hacknet. Teaching people Linux terminal in a fun way without them even noticing.
Look at your own map you posted. Then think about how much influence the non voters could have had. Given the fact that it’s apparently more than half the population it would have made a huge difference. Possibly with a very different election outcome. just because it feels like it doesn’t matter doesn’t make it true. Every vote changes the result after all. Even in a system that has flaws.
While it’s not great to pick a side that you don’t quite believe in it’s still better than not voting because that only helps the side that you really don’t want to see win. Which is exactly what happened. That is in my humble opinion the real shortsighted and naive thing Going on here.
