Which side are you?
  • Thanks for the update, glad you are not ded!

  • He remains at large
  • What if he got ill, or has an upcoming holiday and has to make up his quota? I am not sure I want to take that chance.

  • He remains at large
  • I would easily say no to his face... but he has a guna nd is willing to use it.

  • Which side are you?
  • It's been 8 hours. Either they ded. Or are too ashamed and embarrassed after getting covered in their drink.

  • $843 million lawsuit against Valve already has its own website: "The Steam Claim" accuses the biggest store in PC gaming of "overcharging" players
  • This analogy is so bad, it is not even close to what is happening.

    I will try and adapt to cars for you(I dont know why), but this is just really really bad.

    Say you have designed a car, you can produce them on a very small scale, but you have come to valve(they make cars now) to mass produce. They do so, for a 30% cut(that reduces the more they sell) for everything they sell from their direct sales at the price you have set. There is no material costs or labour costs, just that cut of the price you have set.

    Now valve have a sales page and are selling, and you decide that actually I would like more people to see the car, and so you consider selling it at other dealers. Valve says, sure, you can even have the cars for free from us(no 30% cut) and you can have basically an unlimited supply of free fully built cars to sell else where. We only ask that you sell the car at the same price you have set with us if you are selling a car we made.

    You want to go sell it new cheaper? You are more than welcome too, but you cant sell the car we produced.

    Such a bad analogy, but that is closer to what is actually happening.

  • Just think about how this works.

    Steam currently allows you to generate keys and sell them for free, only stipulating that they must be sold for the same price as on steam.

    Let's say they are told that stipulation can't be enforced.

    Valve, will probably go with 1 of 2 options.

    1 - you can no longer generate keys. So all the great key sites(GMG, Fanatical and so on) no longer exist, because no steam keys.

    2 - Valve charge an upfront fee for keys generated. Now smaller pmdevs and publishers can no longer supply keys to sites, because they can't afford the upfront costs.

    What incentive does valve have to continue offering this free service? If it can be exploited for the detriment of steam, they will stop providing it.

  • Everything Apple iOS 18 Will Do, Android Already Does
  • Phone tech is really boring. Almost everything looks the same, they are all x% faster than last year's model which still does everything perfectly fine. In terms of hardware, the phone has kinda reached the optimal place.

    I'm not the target audience for bleeding edge phones though. I take photos, listen to music(using Bluetooth and wired headphones), browse the web and message people. I don't really play games or use it for work.

    By far the most interesting thing to me is foldable phones. I really like the idea of a flip phone, but I don't think it would be too happy sitting in my sweaty pocket while I cycle.

  • People who refuse to learn how to drive a car, why?
  • Trust me, you could absolutely follow the example of other drivers and use your phone while driving.

  • Granted.
  • I don't know if I would call it spicy, been a long time since I had just celery though. But I am really sensitive to the taste of it.

    Even if you chop it up small and cook it into something, for me it ruins a meal and gives it this horrible aftertaste. Probably best described as puke, that kinda acidic taste

  • What adblocker are you using on iOS?
  • I really like Orion browser. Allows you to use Firefox extensions(and chrome), so you can use ublock origin and enjoy ad free browsing again.

  • Gotta stab a new drive into computer
  • SQL has always been Skull in my head. I think it is because I hated it when in college and associated it with dying inside.

  • Which do you prefer? A triple monitor setup? Or one single 32:9 ultrawide monitor?
  • Similar set up for me. But 21:9 is my desktop, so discord, web browser, anything that is lower quality. Then my 16:9 is my gaming and high quality content screen.

    This is because my 21:9 monitor is a bit older now, and a 144hz VA panel, and I hate it for games. My new 16:9 is an OLED and 240hz and it is absolutely gorgeous. I also mostly play fighting games, so anything more than 16:9 is just black, well in the case of the VA panel grey and a bunch of light bleed.

  • Medical freedom vs. public health: Should fluoride be in our drinking water?
  • Ohhh can I partake in this.

    Fluoride contamination, consequences and removal techniques in water - https://pubs.rsc.org/en/content/articlehtml/2022/va/d1va00039j

    See look at the scary headline, and the first sentence - "Fluoride contamination has created a drinking water crisis globally."

    Only downside to this paper... it kinda mentions how great it is for humans to consume low levels of flouride.

  • World’s top climate scientists expect global heating to blast past 1.5C target
  • https://www.reuters.com/sustainability/climate-energy/innovators-trying-bring-down-sky-high-cost-direct-air-capture-2023-10-24/

    Wasnt a difficult search.

    And yes, more money(realistically probably a lot more) is needed to refine and improve the technology. No it isnt going to end climate change, but it is a small part of what is needed.

  • Removed
    YouTube keeps serving this obnoxious ~5m ad
  • Orion browser on iOS

    It allows use of chrome and Firefox extensions, and ublock origin works.

  • ‘Meta is out of options’: EU regulators reject its privacy fee for Facebook and Instagram
  • They keep throwing around threats of leaving.

    Do it... do it you absolute chickens.

  • I just want to view the recipe
  • I love Firefox, it is my desktop and android go to, but fuck apples bullshit.

    Look into Orion browser, it allows you to use chrome and Firefox extensions on iOS, it does mean no easy bookmark or tab sharing, but small price to pay to be able to use the net again properly.
