I have this feeling too. But any game that requires an internet connection to work will eventually end up being bricked when its servers are shut down.

I recently played Helldiver’s 1 on the PS vita, and realized the servers were disabled. despite those servers being down you could still essentially play the game, even though its not as fun.

It’s so polite I can’t not delete one of my important files and share the Albanian virus.

Wait, is this an ADHD thing?

No issues!

I bet google doesn’t have to. They can still mine your data and sell it for profit. They’re a data company first after all.

This part is hilarious in a sad way:

At least one of Chevron’s spills is still running 21 years after it began in a Kern County oilfield, although a state spokesperson said it has been reduced by 98% “from its peak.” The amount spilled from the site, dubbed GS-5, is larger than the Exxon Valdez disaster.

It’s reduced because it’s been leaking for 21 years! It’s bound to stop flowing as aggressively as when it first started.

I swear I saw something about these being two different types of insects. Can someone confirm?

“You’re talking to me”: How do we determine from which POV we’re looking from? Seems like the POV is from whomever sends this picture, so wouldn’t that mean that we’re looking through OPs eyes? CMV

To go hang out with people in a cool setting while having alcohol-like drinks without the problems. Like going to a Kava bar or something, or tea bar. Bunch of places out there with themed drinks to hang out. Sometimes you like the taste of cocktails but don’t want to get drunk.

I’m not big of a fan of Chinese surveillance but to most peoples point that have already posted here, if this was about privacy then the government should be passing laws to protect consumer privacy as a whole and not just targeting Chinese companies. Really shows that the government doesn’t give a shit about your privacy just who’s able to get it.

I’ve thought about using these kinds of camera/common systems but a while ago when I looked into it they seemed to have so-so video footage quality and had so-so battery life. I’d be interested to know what other people think too, currently have a sena and go pro setup.

Looking at their website, I don’t see much about interoperability between brands though, and no specifics on battery life when in use. I’m not sure if you’ll ever get good footage at night though, I haven’t tested that with my gopro so I can’t speak to that.

But who was phone?

When I tried setting up a new computer I initially started with Windows. Going through that new setup process was such a pain in the ass with how Microsoft tries to connect you to their services. I just want to use the damn computer without any of these ‘extra’ services. Like, is it so difficult to have an OS that you can just simply install and use without any BS? Its what finally pushed me to move to Linux. Haven’t looked back since.

Why haven’t these sanctions already been in effect? Seems like every now and then there are some more sanctions being added but why not just do them all already?

Wow, that research article is loooonng. Could only get halfway before needing a break. Really cool insights!

Looks like the UK is breathing a sigh of relief after this.

Give it some time, Lemmy will get there eventually.

Weren’t the French pretty salty about the UK? I recall seeing some articles on punishing the UK for leaving

Taiwan is an independent and Democratic country. China should stop bullying other countries in their own territorial waters.

It’s really hard but I struggle to tell people about my operating system. I use Arch BTW.
