In fact, many do. As soon as a minority group gains power, they tend to first execute the people who opposed them, and then start executing the people who didn’t stop the opposition.

Yeah in fact, this is the big one. This is just an observation of how power struggles purge those who opposed the victors.

I swear every time Mozilla does anything people find some way to be negative about it.

I mean, Lemmy is pretty much mostly for curmudgeons if we’re being honest. Or at least that’s what non-cat posts feel like. Mozilla isn’t even all that special.

But yeah, it’s annoying. Just stop using the browser if you’re that annoyed by it, and more importantly, stop letting us know about it! We know, you’re upset. Go post on Twitter like the rest of the angry people do!

Neat. Small thing, but neat. Just wish we had lots of providers, but I understand they get money from AccuWeather for this, so it’s understandable there is no swapping this around (AccuWeather is pretty inaccurate for where I live, although not as bad as some other ones).

Which it is, and I hate it, but you’re exactly right.

And beyond that, this is also not Mozilla’s decision. A browser-making company is not the one to ask to fix digital media copyright and its enforcement. Talk to you elected personel if you want to fix that, and/or get into politics yourself and fix it.

if only we had acted sooner

Doing what, exactly? Create a fork? Done. Fill their feedback queue with endless screeching about how everything is dooooooom? Done, 10x over. Use another browser instead, say, Chrome? That’s what virtually everyone did, yes.=

Plus shouldn’t this on paper be positive news? Mozilla can, if they run Anonym well enough, be independent of other ad networks. Run their own. Which in turn means they can control the data and where it’s stored, an important issue with third-party ad networks.

Of course, it’s going to be difficult to find a modern application where each individually deployed component isn’t at least 7MB of compiled source (and 50-200MB of container), compared to this single 7MB war that contained everything.

Yeah I was about to say, imagine this tiny Velociraptor purring in your lap sleeping off the murder of the chirpy-chirpy flap-thing in the garden.

Lynxes are such majestic animals. 😍

Costs 16.99 here. Which locale is this in?

I worried about this a lot back after uni, too.

I studied 8 years for a diploma that was supposed to be done in 5, and I had done nothing with the extra time. I just wasn’t in a good place to be done any faster.

However, it turns out to just not be a problem. Companies generally could not give a flying fuck about what I did at university, and as soon as I had been at one company, they only cared what I had done before in the industry.

Now of course, going for a masters is different, but I wouldn’t worry too much about it, it probably matters less than you think it will. If you want to explain gaps, I’d just cite it as “personal reasons”. If they ask - which is kinda not-okay - you can always say you had family matters that precluded you from focusing on your studies until now.

Oooh, finally a sale on the Shadow Gambit DLC. Time to get both, I heard a lot that while Yuki is of course the “cooler” DLC since well, it’s Yuki, the other one is mechanically smarter as the new unit is overpowered but also quite different.

On that note, cannot recommend Shadow Gambit enough. It’s the perfection of the Commandos / Shadow Tactics / Desperados formula.

This is probably related to Youtube starting to serve ads mixed into the actual videostream, right?

This causes issues of them fucking up the timestamps?

Hey, hela is normal ketchup, of course. Anything else you might as well just chew a tomato!

Brown Sauce - HP, Daddies etc this sauce is pretty popular in the UK (Where I live) and goes great on chips/fries and prior dish mentioning.

I don’t think Germany has this, usually.

For us the three big ones would be Mayo / Ketchup / Mustard I imagine. Of which personally, spiced Mayo always wins out (Miracle Whip). Just too used to it from my childhood. 😅

They’re also the prosecutor, they can word it like that if they so desire. It’s on the opposing attorney to correct them.

And possibly demand sanctions if they can convince the bar that it was willful omission of details.

But I thought those are only for steam keys? That’s always been what devs found out when trying to vary their prices on storefronts: Sell the game standalone, Valve sleeps. Sell a steam key or use the steam backend, real shit.

Epic is good at making it sound like it applies to sales in general though, while technically not being wrong from how they word it: You do sign a price parity obligation, yes. And it does prevent you from offering lower prices on other stores. For, well, steam keys. But they’re not mentioning that last part as that makes it sound like Epic just sells stuff for the same end-user price because they can.

Question: Does that not mean that Epic is a company that has no standing to complain against Valve, considering they’re in the same boat? As in, the decision should if anything be to force both companies to lower their consumer prices from 60 to 40-50, paying the difference out of their own pockets?

Because if not, this naturally creates the exact same issue, just on the other side of the pond. And we’d be back here in half a year with another set of lawyers.

Baseline law change: Cannot charge more than 10% fee on digital storefronts no matter what, price to consumer cannot go above, say, €45.

That’d solve it, no?

The title is /groan, but it’s Nathan Grayson so that’s expected+acceptable.

He has a point, tbh. Nintendo seems to be applying their experimentative side again, in Princess Peach already went into a similar direction. Personally I’m excited for Echoes of Wisdom of course, but the broader picture is interesting. I wonder what we’ll be learning about the Switch 2 / Switch U / Nintendo Wii 2 / 4DS (or whatever) soon.

Finally got around to playing Oxenfree II after finishing Dave The Diver. Slow progress as I’m getting distracted left and right and center by other games, but I like how they kept the semi-creepy atmosphere from Oxenfree. Really neat presentation, and I love the voice actress for Riley, she did great work.

Just wish the game had more characters than me and my sidekick, atl east so far.

Isn’t there a requirement for mental sanity among elected officials? (in the medical sense) Because can’t this easily be constructed as a sure sign that she suffers from dementia? Or well, her colleagues do?
