I think I got confused by this Lemmy post claiming it was taken over, not “attempted”. If it was taken over, then why would they shoot themselves in the foot?
This is all really insane. But there are people here saying that privacyguides are reputable.
Privacytools seems shadier though, even if they’re claiming to be victims.
This is all too much drama.
Wait, I’m confused. Why would privacytools.io host this article?
privacytools.io doesn’t even list NordVPN as an ad anymore…
Is there another trustworthy site which compares different platforms?
Is… That a threat?
Just for the sake of being fair, Steam does do one thing which is anticompetitive; they require publishers don’t sell their games for less than they do on Steam.
If you think about this for a moment you’ll realise it’s in the publisher’s best interest to agree to this.
One of the problems Epic has is that it is only a store front. Steam is a fully featured platform.
Epic, in their lawsuit, wants to break Steam’s store and platform into separate applications, so they can compete.
Sort of like how people want to have different app stores on their iphones.
Difference is: Steam has no restrictions in the first place. You can add non-Steam games to the client if you want. You can use Proton if you want.
Steam offers all of these features for free. What is the point in breaking them apart.
It’s hilarious to me that Epic will never introduce features like this, and also complain Steam has a monopoly, as if they’re at all comparable
Where’s my upstream explicit sync lads
Discharge though. Ew.
It should read:
And if he spins around fast enough his hat will look as if the wojack rolling around is animated.
The other bit of irony is that being the 46th would disqualify him from being the 47th
His hat reads 45-47
That’s wrong. It implies he was the 46th president too.
It should read 45, 47
What a dumbass.
Isn’t this the same argument as “if women can’t have abortions, they will stop having sex”?
Nobody gets married under the assumption they will get divorced. Marriage is supposed to be a gesture of a life long commitment.
On top of that, there are financial benefits to getting married.
I highly doubt this would stop anyone from getting married.
People should stop getting married because it’s a government contract based in religion - it’s gross and I don’t want either of those things being involved in my relationships.
I don’t know whether to upvote or downvote.
I wouldn’t want the wrong kind of attention drawn here.
But I think if people have FB accounts that should look for this and report the fuck out of it.
Great episode.
I’m tempted to believe in reality, some kind of “mutually assured destruction” scenario would occur.
If I was to create a simulation, I would add in a recursive condition wherein the detection of another simulation would crash the system.
But the theme the episode really touched on was whether it was right to tell another the truth about reality. Maybe that reality isn’t another layer up, but that God exists, or maybe not.
Assuming you found out we really were in a simulation, what is the right thing to do? Force everyone to learn the truth? Hide your knowledge of it?
If you thought: “I can tell the people who want to know”, you’ve just created a cult.
Personally, I’m convinced we are not in a simulation. But that’s only assuming the level above us is somewhat similar (a universe that started with a big bang and formed stars and planets and evolution etc).
Think of it this way: an advanced society would need to evolve more than us, meaning more filters to pass before achieving this kind of power. This means unlimited power and unlimited processing power.
I fucking hate that I learned what this means a month ago.
Bought myself a ZigBee coordinator and started pairing some devices.
Sweet! That was easy, now all that’s left are the Tuya ceiling fans
Little did I know, what was about to happen would cost me my sanity.
Honestly, just give me a fucking HP printer and ask me to connect it to my computer from the other side of the world.
At the risk of sounding critical of your hobby, to argue the imperfections improve the experience sounds somewhat culty.
I understand there is something akin to “character” which you don’t get from something highly polished. I know when things sound too clean it can feel sterile.
I accept vinyl has a collectors value, but anything claims regarding preference come across as either pretentious or deluded (to me, as someone who probably can’t tell the difference).
Thanks for the detailed breakdown, I think I get the broad strokes now.
It’s difficult to parse when your brain defaults to “one of these parties are unfairly maligned” - when the truth is they’re both shitty.
It’s a shame. Some years ago I got a lot of value from both websites, but haven’t really followed updates about privacy. It’s such a time sink to gauge the value of everything by yourself.
