I have never seen a bank card that doesn’t use Visa or Mastercard, even if we wanted to, it would be almost impossible to use an alternative.

Arch does? I thought you had to choose a text editor when installing with pacstrap? Unless you mean the iso?

UK:

• Nicholas Winton saved 669 Jewish children from Czechoslovakia on the day before WW2.
• Sean Lock was one of the greatest comedians I have ever seen who lost his life to cancer.

Nintendo are horrible to consumers but at least they understand the value of their staff. That’s something I value more from a company. (depending on the extent of their anti-consumer practices, nintendo have definetly gone too far with their’s)

Steam already does stuff similar to this? Reviews flagged as “suspicious” aren’t deleted but aren’t included in the overall score instead, and a notice is put next to the overall score when this happens. The same is true for reviews made by people who got the game with a key.

Why not extend this? Like you said, most bots have low play time, valve could exclude (but not delete) reviews with low play time. I agree that doing something like this is a slippery slope towards mobile app store reviews but if it’s done right then it is a net positive.

The main problem is that those reviews are still included in the overall review score. I think you can filter out low play time but that’s an extra step most won’t take (because they shouldn’t need to)

Yep, I think I counted at one point and half of the photos on my phone are pets

What the fuck, it isn’t satire? And other sites are writing articles on it?

It currently applies most to the game and tech industries

Excluding steam because even playstation release exclusives on steam now, Starfield is (was? I don’t know if it released on ps later on) xbox exclusive. Out of Zenimax’s library, that is probably the game that you would want the least as an exclusive but at least it is something (they needed something after spending US$7.5 billion on them)

Typing your own code manually? Unheard of!

I’ve seen a lot of content creator groups become a lot more diverse since covid/among us. It’s great to see!

They’re $110 in canada? That’s insanely overpriced? How much more is that compared to regular AAA games? I could understand people justifying the price in the uk, mario kart world costs £67 digitally (including tax) which is CHEAPER than call of duty and “only” £7 more than a regular AAA game and the new donkey kong is cheaper than AAA games digitally (but only £59 vs £60). I think the games are overpriced in the uk, since they will never go on sale, but $110 is ridiculous.

I know just enough German to be more confused by this than if I knew no German at all

(Almost) the rest of the world also does this, it creates a lot less problems than the zoning laws in most of the USA

Changing zoning laws to allow housing near commercial stuff would probably help and count as deregulation I think?

The eu petition has actually made a lot of progress from when I checked last week

I recently switched from windows (with a debloat scrpit ran on it) to linux mint and I was shocked at how much faster it booted. When I turn my pc on I usually get up and do something else for a bit (not because windows is THAT slow but because I could spend the minute it takes to turn on to make lunch or something) and linux booted before I was out of my chair.

Any multiplayer pc game

My living space is clean but looks untidy (male). I don’t keep things on shelves and cupboards (apart from clothes and books I’m not reading at the moment), everything (mostly tech and studying stuff) goes on the floor. It’s not unorganised, I know where everything is and I don’t just throw stuff on the floor, if something is in a place on the floor I put it there for a reason and NO ONE SHOULD MOVE IT. Expensive stuff that can break if it is stepped on and stuff I don’t want to step on gets placed near the edges of rooms and under tables. Once every week it all gets thrown on my bed (still organised) so I can clean but after that it all goes back on the floor.
