Guess what Edge and Chrome do if you make Firefox the default browser? They all harass you if you run them when they aren't the default. At least Firefox respects the "don't bother me about this again" checkbox

Awesome, but also, no "Cabbage patch" jokes? Come onnnnnnn

I guess I better buy a new Pi before they quintuple in price for half the quality

Wait until you hear about The Sims

"OMG we thought they were unarmed Palestinians!"

Pressure and mockery? Pretty sure he died of physical abuse and malnutrition. He didn't die because Putin made him sad.

No, not at all. Games used to have demos and trial versions, like basically all games, but game studios used to have to actually finish making a game before they shipped it. Trying before you bought was the business model of the whole industry. Now so many games are shipped in such bad condition they wouldn't dare let you try it first. Trying before you buy is just prudent, as long as you actually buy the ones you like enough to play through.

I still have a G1 in a drawer, every couple years I find it again and spend a few minutes flipping the screen open and shut. What a fun mechanism.

If you're on a VPN, it reloads about every minute, meaning you can't even scroll through your game library, or read the summary or watch a video for a game you're considering buying. Their shoddy, clueless coding literally makes it impossible to shop in their store without disconnecting from my VPN, which is not happening.

Very much so. They just call them "gifts" from "friends" and that's the end of it.

I will absolutely eat a whole can of olives and not regret it a bit.

But he unfortunately also gets what he doesn't deserve, like billions of dollars

Or just don't connect the TV to your network. It has inputs. Use an input device you have control over. The end.

This link is absolute cancer on mobile, unusable

Democrats are frequently still racist, obedience-loving sacks of shit, they're just the lesser of two evils in a system where the greater of two evils is a pack of utterly cynical greed-as-a-virtue actual fascists.

Dropping off enough fuel to run the hospital for half an hour? Who cares? It was a PR stunt that would have made no difference. 300 liters is a pittance, an insult, a photo op, a lie to make suckers who can't conceptualize volume think they made an effort to help. 300 liters is less than 80 gallons. This would be enough diesel to run a generator for one RV at full capacity for about 3 days, not a hospital with a ton of lights and computers, a ventilation system and a bunch of kids on life support. They sent enough fuel for one family to go glamping for a weekend.

Why would you assume that it works? They've tried a ton of shit in this war that was stupid and didn't work. For now I'm going to assume they are just throwing shit at the wall and seeing what sticks, as they have been the whole time. The fact that they're doing it means missiles are expected, so I'm sure we'll find out how stupid it is soon enough. My guess is very.

They do wear out eventually, but the end of their useful life is a whole crapload of rounds if they're well-made, and most good guns can have parts replaced either by the user or by a smith, so you can keep them running a long time if you oil them and keep them relatively rust-free. If a gun is so messed up it can't fire or if it fails catastrophically and blows up, if it's truly and permanently at the end of its life, I think most folks do indeed throw them in the trash, assuming they have no historical value. Maybe disassemble them or cut them up with a hacksaw first. Once it stops being able to be a gun anymore, it's just junk.

The whole point of the cat thing was to point out the absurdity of the claim that reality isn't real until you know about it. The cat is already in whatever state you observe when you open the box. It's not both alive and dead, it's either alive or dead. The thought experiment isn't serious, and it's not supporting the idea that the cat is somehow magically in both states just because you haven't yet manipulated the lid of a wooden cube.

Minotaurs?

Odd, I just clicked the link from Voyager and it worked fine. I do not have Telegram.

People are being entitled taint-lickers. It does suck that its optimization is poor, but I'm on a 4 year-old PC build and my CPU was not top-end even then, with a 3070 and I have had zero issues running it. The space travel should be more interesting, they really fucked up by making space piracy basically impossible, so you can't ever profit by taking the ships of people who actively try to murder you. There's a lot that could be more engaging, but also the reviews of Elex are mostly positive and it's one of the worst, most quest-bugged half finished pieces of shit I've ever played, with basically nothing going for it beside decent art and a unique story. The game is trash and I wasted way too much time on it. Starfield is vastly better. Not amazing, but solidly OK. Without the social-media circle-jerk, there is no way the reviews would continue to get worse as they continue to address performance issues and fix bugs.
