The Internet

On the positive side, it allows you to contact people that you would have never interacted with otherwise

Strong Pokémon. Weak Pokémon. That is only the selfish perception of people. Truly skilled trainers should try to win with their favorites.

It looks like the game is part of Chrome but not Chromium, so it would be under Google's copyright. So if you mean a copy using the same assets then no. If you mean can you create an endless runner featuring a dinosaur, yes

On the other hand you have insecure humans who make stuff up to pretend that they know what you are talking about

Inevitable political answer: The UK Government during the height of Covid

The memes were making fun of the fact that no one had seen it, somehow Warner thought that re-releasing the film would make the memers go to see it, but that would have gone against the point of the meme

Twitter has always been "small" but popular with people who work in the media, so you hear it mentioned on the same level as Facebook by those people, even though it's never been any where near the same size

They might exist, but they aren't widely known about like they are in the USA

Depends on your definition of secure.

A pen and paper can't be hacked

I get personal choice, but if you are looking for privacy focused, wouldn't a browser based option give the developer less information than installing an app?

I used to work in a supermarket in the UK about 20 years ago. The store is not legally required to sell anything to anyone (as long as it's not because they are discriminating against a protected characteristic), so the workaround for the store was to say that the item was no longer for sale and to remove it from the shop floor (presumably fixing the labeling, then putting the stock back out)

I don't know if they still do, but Facebook used to count viewing a web page with a Facebook "like" button as being an active user

Password too long? Is the limit known? I signed up last week with a 30 character password

why people don't just play games on PC, since they can also use a PC for work.

For the same reason you don't enter your commuter car into an F1 race. Technically both could do it, but one is going to get the job done a lot better than the other

In the UK in the 00's there was a well known advert for chocolate that featured a gorilla and.... It's probably better of you watch it yourself

Disney finally lost something to the public domain.

I'm not convinced that the legal right to make that film was there. Yes, the copyright has expired in the USA, however the film was produced and filmed in the UK. Winnie The Pooh is still under copyright until 2026 in the UK (70 years after the author died)

I use Nova. After seeing this, I have disabled internet access for the app (I use LineageOS, where this is an option). Is that enough to avoid any potential downsides, or is there anything else I should be aware of?

What does the Amazon App have that the website doesn't? I've just been using the website, now I'm wondering what I'm missing out on

As a shy person, I hope that drunk me isn't the true me. That guy was an asshole

I'm currently on Lineage on a Pixel 7, I'm tempted to give Graphene a go though.

As I had issues with one banking app on Lineage, I expect I'll have problems with that one and possibly more if I make the change

It's always 2 characters, but I can't remember if it is the same ones every time

Probably somewhere on earth

Agreed. You can't install as an app, just a home screen shortcut, notifications don't take you to the web page when clicked

I use PWAs for some things, but I wish they worked better

How about giving all 100 years to GameFreak so they can try to make a good Pokémon game?

This does seem to be a US centric problem, I don't know anyone who still uses SMS, everyone seems to use Facebook Messenger/WhatsApp/Telegram/Signal here

I'm not saying I'm in IT, but I'm tired and read the question and thought, "Why are they asking about printers?"

I have owned this for many years, thanks to Humble Bundle, but have never played it. I should give it a go

On one occasion, yes, over the phone.

The other I was in a web chat on the company's website and they provided a link to a page on the same website where it asked for the characters

The 2 occasions I can think of, it was characters from my main password. Both were during contact with the Support teams. I no longer have service with either of the companies (due to unrelated reasons)

That's another rule. No wishes containing the word 'all'. Guaranteed ironic consequences.

I don't think anyone's going to miss wars.

Star Wars, Thumb wars, wow, Storage Wars!

For me, the OP is showing 20 down votes, so I guess they are stored somewhere?

I do have this with my bank as well, but I have always had to enter a full username and different password before it asks for those
