YouTube you can skip ads with uBlock origin for the normal kind and sponserblock for the embed “ad read” kind the youtuber does.

Titan Quest is an older aRPG with mythological god vibes. Same folks who did grim dawn.

A sequel is also in the works.

They could do it by not uploading any of the data, or if they do, uploading it encrypted with the only key being on the user’s device or a passcode.

Both are well established ways to secure data, but the company itself would not be able to interact with the data at all past storing it, so any features/revenue there would end.

“Free and open source software.” It’s an ethos that says that code should be free and open for people to use and improve as they see fit. The core of it is that if you modify any software that is FOSS, your software must also be FOSS. So overtime the software and what its used for improve, change, widen. Lucky for us, the movement has been ongoing for 50+ years, so it’s a mature ethos whose benefits are everywhere. Most of the internet runs on FOSS. Lemmy itself is FOSS.

It doesn’t necessarily mean an app is more private, but it does mean you can generally self host, as the commentor said. There isn’t a profit motive with most FOSS, at least not at its core, so there is little desire to data harvest generally. There is also a heavy overlap between FOSS advocates and privacy advocates, so they tend to be more privacy conscious via local data storage or encryption.

Nah, it clearly appeals to a subset of voters in some democracies, and those voters apparently turn out.

I have no idea what the article says, because it’s paywalled. All I can read is that someone with a group of Israeli soccer fans was attacked.

This is not surprising, as Jewish soccer fans were chanted for the death of Arabs and violently ripped down other peoples property, which you called “being offensive.”

Its a threat to woman that if they don’t get married young and have babies, the government will hurt them.

That it. Do what we say or else. The standard conservative line with women.

With trumps win, expect more of this. Being a complete piece of shit clearly works, so this will only escalate. Getting attention, even by being a vile misogynist, is a winning move now.

Ripping a Palestinian flag down while shouting to kill all Arabs isn’t someone “being offensive,” it’s doing violence. It’s no surprise that violence was met with more.

A lot more than a handful.

Nope, not how our system works. A federal ban would override state law.

The situation would at best mimic legal weed. The feds can 100% legally raid weed stores right now in the majority of states, but doing so is seen as pointless and would be politically unpopular.

The difference between weed stores and abortion clinics is that while both weed and abortion are popular, abortion is easier to villify and attack. They also don’t make anywhere near as much money as weed and require doctors to operate, so you have a much higher risk and much lower reward to fight the federal law on a local level.

That’s what good beans cost.

He forgave 170 billion dollars, the largest amount by far any president has ever forgiven. It’s not even close.

He also tried to forgive 400billion, but the conservative supreme court Trump appointed the first time shot it down.

He still tried several other avenues, all that have been stopped by federal Trump appointed judges, and will clearly end now.

With manchin and semina voting no on pretty much every bill in 2020, and a divided congress in 2022, what the fuck else was he supposed to do?

I mean, he got it and it’s actually a good one. Uncertain finances tend to cut into bonuses of all types.

Yup. My household is going to pull back on the impulse to improve and just build up the reserves for the “have to fix” things that happen.

Working on doing more cooking, more gardening, cutting out expense conveniences. With the waves of deregulation and tariffs coming, prices on everything are going to skyrocket while quality goes to hell. The more we can produce ourselves, the better.

Pre-prod is ideal, but a pipe dream for many. Lots of folks barely get prod.

We still stagger patching so things like this only wipe some of the critical infrastructure, but that still causes needless issues.

I’m glad they are going to take the DLC from the alpha state they released it in to an actual product people will want to buy.

They should have done that before they started selling it, especially for such a beloved franchise, but at least they are willing to go the cyberpunk route and actually fix the broken game they released.

They have still burned a lot of goodwill. I was planning on a day 1 purchase, but got caught up at work and ended up seeing the terrible reviews first, thank fuck. I sure won’t be buying this until it’s done, and I’ll wait on all future DLC too, if they happen.

He will be sentenced in September.

No, not so much. The judge pushed this back. Maybe next September.

Hes a long term buddy of the chief deputy, so that did it for him. The chief said he’s known him for 40 years and doesn’t think this outburst will impact his policing.

So instead of getting reprimanded in any real sense or getting fired, he got a strongly worded letter and had to make a public apology that let him blame it all on Ambien.

Lawyers making up insane defenses doesn’t mean they have the law on their side. They hail mary all the time.

No, he’s got bullet proof glass. He pointed towards the press pit when he said that.

Hes saying hes okay with someone shooting at the press.
