What’s next, subscriptions for device features (which you already paid big money for) to work like it’s a freaking BMW?

I mean, yes, they already announced that in the direct. The new GameChat built-in-discord thingy is only free until next March, at which point you’ll need a subscription to continue using it

Not in English they aren’t. I presume you can tell this sign is in English.

Devs/publishers aren’t any more greedy than they were 15 years ago.

Looks at the dozens of live service games that have come out in the past decade, with their multiple currencies and premium battle passes

So it’s still effectively a filibuster, but without technically being the sort of filibuster that they could vote to disallow?

Yeah you coulda just kept this one to yourself chief

Dude’s so pale he looks like he sweats sunscreen

Back then we had LightScribe

Eh, I think that in the context handling classified information, it’s fair to say Signal is “insecure”, purely because anyone with a phone number can have an account, and can be accidentally added to sensitive conversations.

You know, like the exact thing that happened in this article.

Not that that’s Signal’s fault. But the fact that it’s even possible makes Singnal unusable for handling classified information.

Well, see, the thing is that it 100% absolutely positively no-questions-about-it does warrant a meeting and government approved, Internet-disconnected communications methods.

The fact that Trump’s entire fucking cabinet apparently disagrees is what concerns me.

And also the copious use of steroids (without any accompanying resistance training), which makes him look like a sweaty bag of manure on legs

Well how else do you expect them to keep the peace?

Public/private reprimand is the first step I think. The judge could also probably suspend their license, or possibly influence their getting disbarred if the lawyer fucks up enough. Probably couldn’t throw them in jail unless they were accused of a crime, but that would only be pardonable if it was a federal crime.

I think I’d be pretty screwed. I’d most likely be living in some remote, forgotten village, trying to eke out enough of a living to pay the local lord for the privilege, while trying to avoid my home being raided by Aiel, or Seanchan, or Dragonsworn, or one of the other dozen armies roaming the countryside. Or maybe I’d be serving in one of those armies, fodder for the front lines, going up against enemies with no qualms about using the One Power for killing.

There’s a tiny, remote chance that I could be studying in one of the schools in Cairhien or Caemlyn, trying to push technology out of the dark ages, which would be pretty cool. But that still comes with the risk of being a target of Darkfriends and the Forsaken, which is less cool.

You realize that “lawyer up, hit the gym” was a silly overgeneralization that eventually turned into a meme, right?

Is the Lemmy version of “lawyer up, hit the gym” basically just “cut contact with family at the slightest insult”?

You know what, it’s better than writing all his passwords down in a little notebook in his filing cabinet

Right, no one does the amount of steroids Joe Rogan does without having a severe case of body dysmorphia or something similar

I can’t answer for anyone but myself, and I’m not European, but I absolutely trust government more than anonymous obsessive Internet people. At least governments are theoretically held in check by those they govern. Internet randos don’t play by anyone’s rules but their own.

Right, and I’m not arguing that cryptocurrency doesn’t have value, just that it’s value is based on a much less solid foundation than the value of fiat currency.
