I watched a friend’s teenage son play a couple of times. They don’t seem to play battle royale or any kind of competitive mode anymore, they just chat and dick around in what seems to be seasonal levels. Reminds me of my WoW days where I logged in to do my dailies more for the social engagement than the actual gameplay.

I used Ubuntu at work a couple of years ago. When they announced the switch to snaps I didn’t really care, but when they switched Firefox to the snap version it had quite a few issues like really slow startup, inconsistent theming, and problems with some extensions. So I uninstalled the snap, installed the standard DEB and went on with my work.

But then the issues came back, and it took me some time to figure out they had replaced the actual DEB package with an unholy shim which just installed the snap. THAT really pissed me off, so when I got a new laptop I just installed Arch and my only regret was not doing it sooner.

For a couple of people I know, the answer would be: “This is obviously terrible, yes, but we need to preserve our traditional values at all costs, otherwise Muslim immigrants will replace us”.

En l’absence de contrôles sérieux et critériés, de multiples officines se sont spécialisées dans le maquillage de dépenses génériques en R&D et de cadres commerciaux en chercheurs et ingénieurs

Ça correspond exactement à mon expérience, on faisait passer des trucs tout à fait banals en CIR, genre tu pompes un algo un peu malin sur stackoverflow, hop tout le projet passe en CIR… Grâce aux consultants spécialisés qui packagent joliment les dossiers.

C’est parce que ça ne ruisselle pas assez. La seule solution c’est de baisser les charges des riches.

LineageOS supports Chromecast with Android TV, haven’t tried it myself though.

That’s what he said, under oath, during his divorce.

Well for starters there is a picture of her at a scientology gala in 2013. And she most probably still is, because it’s incredibly hard to leave scientology. They put an unbearable amount of pressure on you to stay/come back, and if they determine you’re a lost cause, you become a “suppressive person”. When that happens, all scientologists are forbidden from any kind of contact with the person. So for her, leaving scientology means losing her family, her closest friends she’d known since forever, and any kind of support structure.

Dead Sara’s drummer was also born into scientology. Chances that they both left are very slim. Chances that a scientologist would play in a band with a suppressive person are nil.

Chances that she left scientology, then decided in 2020 to come support scientologist Masterson, who would have been absolutely forbidden from interacting with her in any way, and with a group of scientologists also present: also nil.

It works really well, I want to support them and donate but I’m afraid YouTube will find a way to block them like they did to others…

Yeah, if a game needs online activation it doesn’t matter which medium you buy…

If they have interests in pharmaceutical companies or health insurance, they’d lose a lot. They’d have to stop price gouging and make a good profit like everywhere else, instead of criminally insane profits like in the US right now.

Thanks !

I voted against my personal interests for the party who would try to do something about it. Then Macron said we voted wrong, and named a right-wing prime minister anyway.

The next step is Molotov cocktails I guess?

and the latter could have no influence in the election on the score of the Negroes

Could you explain this sentence please? English isn’t my first language and I can’t make sense of it.

I don’t know, I’m far from being an expert but from what I’ve read immigrants have been sold a paradise and are under immense pressure to succeed because their whole family or even village pooled their resources together for the wonderboy to go to Europe and make it. When they call back home they don’t give bad news, they just say everything is great even if they spend their days begging under a bridge. And so the cycle repeats.

Anyways, it’s been this way for decades, if the free market had any influence on the human trafficking industry it would have kicked in by now…

Economics works there too, though. More passages means lower ticket prices, and at some point people will actually be able to demand “luxuries” like standing room, or else not use that guy.

Nah they already paid upfront, they’re scared and disoriented, and even if they knew of another smuggling outfit there’s no way they’re demanding anything. Smugglers beat or even kill their clients for the pettiest shit, to make an example and make sure everyone behaves.

Sean, I only want to be a dictator for one day, and I’m going to close the borders and drill, baby drill. But after that, I never want to be a dictator.

The thing with Trump is there’s a chance he actually believes a) this is a reasonable take, and b) he’d be able to accomplish these goals in one day.

Don’t try to find a deeper meaning in Ben Garrison’s cartoons lol. If MAGA wins there will be no storms, it will all be sunshine and rainbows, and you will be FREE. If the demonrats win DEATH will come and you will DIE.

That’s all there is to it really.

Like it or not, ads are still the most popular way to pay for online content. I despise ads and I hope some kind of micro-payment solution catches on and offers an alternative, but until then there needs to be a way to reward people for their work, so ads and full-on subscriptions it is.

“Donating boats” to human traffickers won’t fix anything, they already have the resources, they’re just scum who provide the absolute minimum without regard for human life.

If you want to help (and piss off the far-right) you can donate to sea rescue NGOs.
