All I intend to say is that if I left when Mozilla thought it was a good idea to have an advertising company become involved in the development of their products and started tracking users without their consent (even if less invasively than cookies) with PPA, then surely I am not the only one who left.

This is a company that has previously sideloaded an extension into the browser without user permissions because of a marketing deal they made with a television show. As I result, I'm afraid im less concerned with the not-yet implemented features they may be working on or the features they have in place when there are a litany of other browsers available which don't fuck around with user permissions and privacy for advertising deals.

Perhaps if they made decisions like this more often in recent times there would be more people there when they do good stuff.

Edit: Cool to see someone botting this thread as well. I have now watched on three separate occasions someone vote up on mine and others comments only for a vote down to be applied within 10 seconds in lockstep each time.

I went one year and six months. It was bad. I'm wishing you the best.

That's nice but,

1. Ubisoft games are ass
2. Day 1 on Steam doesn't matter if I have to install a Ubisoft client and like 4 DRM software's to play the game anyway
3. It would take a lot more for a long time for Ubisoft to repair the damage it's done to it's reputation over the last decade or more

When faced with a firearm or a knife, any self respecting martial artist will tell you the one technique that will save your life.

Running the fuck away and or taking cover.

When it comes to hand to hand combat, understanding the dynamics of how to protect yourself and control the opposer like in Jiu Jitsu is very useful and can also potentially save your life.

But no, if they have a weapon of any kind, get the fuck out of there.

This is the truth. Client and user support is often horrific, but if you can land something working with just the technology it can be pretty nice.

I'm not talking about nuclear war. I'm talking about the climate after a nuclear war - what the article and the headline is about. The implication of my comment is that there would be no people to worry about the climate because they'd all be dead on account of global thermonuclear war.

Yea, I don't think we'd have to worry about it much though.

Yea Costco has great stuff, the kirkland liquor prices and quality are hard to beat too.

A user on Lemmy a while back (can't recall their name) had said that when they get fast food fries, they don't salt the fries, they salt the ketchup.

I will confirm that this is a fantastic idea because it makes every fry taste equally salted, and gives the salt a way to actually adhere to the fries instead of just ending up in the bottom of the container or on your table.

My own recommendation where I can't believe more people don't do it is buying no name/store brand stuff when getting groceries and supplies. I'm pretty sure a lot of people don't do this because marketing has pushed them into thinking these are "inferior" or are not as good, but 7 times out of 10 the no name/store brand stuff is equal in quality or better while also being something like 20-40 percent cheaper. Just because something is different than the name brand stuff does not make it worse, just different. Like you DONT need a more expensive type of aluminum foil for example, the cheapest aluminum foil is identical in quality.

Impossible. The only actual discourse I think they have is to either ban 3d printers outright, require that filament/resin etc designed for these is made somehow traceable, or license and/or registrate the purchase and/or used of the printers/filaments.

Linux is as good as Linux is, just as Windows is as good as Windows is and MacOS is as good as it is.

All operating systems have their place, purpose, and use cases, so the question is subjective. Different OS's are good or bad for different people, and different scenario's which is why they all have a part of the market share.

MacOS has ease of use and excellent intercompatibility with other Apple products, and Windows has boatloads of compatible software and compatibility with Microsoft's Active Directory domains in businesses.

What Linux has is cost effectiveness and true ownership and control.

At the moment most people prefer ease of use for home computing, but on a long enough timeline Linux will obtain this as well, just look at what Valve did with SteamOS and the steam deck when it comes to that. Making it easy to use there is, I suspect, one of the major reasons the steam deck as a device is so well reviewed, and partly why we have seen such an increase in market share recently I suspect.

So right now, most people probably prefer another OS because of ease of use, but at some point in the future, Linux will probably be holding all the cards. It just seems that those who develop the distributions are often tied up with other goals apart from ease of use for the common user in the contemporary, but eventually they will begin to tackle this goal as well.

Hell yea, glad you got it. I have my third interview at a software company later today, here's hoping.

Networking/security is some really neat stuff, I have dabbled as I used to work doing systems stuff, but moved to robotics automations after that. See if you can get your new employer interested in paying a bit for you to get certs at some point (often if you bring it up that you want some cert, they might be interested in putting some percentage of money towards helping you get it), Network+ and those other Cisco certs are pretty sought after as I understand it and could definitely help progress your career.

Also welcome to the industry!

I don't know why this exists.

I think it may depend on where you are. Back when Whatsapp went belly up, myself, my entire family, and every other person I know IRL switched over to signal within a week, so I think it may be more popular than you expect, though still not as popular as Telegram as you noted.

Lawbreakers came out ~7 years ago and it was too late to get in on the genre then.

The character roster for this game looks so generic and boring.

https://dotesports.com/concord/news/all-concord-characters-every-freerunner-weapon-ability-and-crew-bonus

You have the choice of:

-Cylindrical yellow robot (arguably this is the most original and interesting design)

-Woman with puffy sleeves

-Woman with box on head

-Man with goggles and winter jacket

-Old Woman

-Woman with pauldrons

-Generic Woman

-Green woman with ears

-Man with hat

-Pink robot

-Mushroom

-Green man with shit on arms

-Woman with sphere on head

-Blue and Red man

-Generic Man

-Generic Woman 2

Like, I've hardly played overwatch but at least I can tell from afar what most of the characters do from looking at them. Clearly, in overwatch, Giant knight with hammer is a melee tank, clearly the ninja guy with the sword is mobile and and has some melee ability, clearly the lady with the sniper rifle is a sniper, clearly the angel is a healer, clearly, the lady with the jetpack can fly and is support, etc.

Applying this logic to concord, the BEST I can guess is that Woman with pauldrons is a tank, otherwise the design is so ass, I really can't even tell.

Get a design department and/or let them do their job Sony.

If your destruction is already inevitable because all of NATO is invading your country, then mutually assured destruction begins to look like a good option from the losing position.

For this reason I would argue nuclear war is plausible in the scenario.

You may also say "well the NATO forces may be looking to arrest you and not kill you so logically your best bet is to hold off on nukes", but people, even leaders of countries, often don't react rationally under extreme circumstances so there is definitely a non zero risk of nuclear destruction.

Thanks, uninstalled from app store and did this instead.
