Vanguard was announced and was supposed to be added to League imminently a while ago. I stopped playing months ago as a result. I can hardly imagine that I am the only one, so the number seems cherry picked for convenience.
I’d like to know what the average daily player count on Linux was prior to 2024, I suspect it’s higher than 800.
That said, I get the trade-off. I won’t support that trade-off though because I will never agree with an anticheat implemented like Vanguard is.
The number would be higher too, I doubt I was the only one who stopped playing months ago when Vanguard was supposedly going to be implemented imminently.
I watched Apocalypto for a school paper at age 15 (from a list of options given to me), and honestly I think some softcore porn would have been better. Some rated R stuff is fine for a kid to watch, Apocalypto definitely wasn’t.
Also that same year I researched and did presentations on Chinese history (was a prehistorical to maybe a couple hundred years ago timeline) and at least in my research I covered things like the foot tying thing (to make feet smaller) and that didn’t prepare me for the scene in Marco Polo (I think on Netflix) where that happened (and I didn’t finish the episode or continue the series because it’s just too fucked up).
Porn can be fucked up, some porn is definitely NSFL, but there are a lot of things that are so much worse than the average porn site.
I wish they actually tried to “protect the children” but the politicians are very clearly not.
Wait what? Is it just because it’s a tycoon game?
I dropped my sub. Was paying roughly $7.50/mo for 2 years for the legacy bundle and they nearly tripled it to $18.99/mo.
Of all my streaming services, I literally do not watch ESPN, and barely use Hulu and Disney. I could justify $7.50 by stretching the definition of justification, but $18.99 is more than I pay for streaming services I use regularly.
A more granular view of your actual traffic/usage habits.
Let’s say a page you visit embeds a Tweet, you’ll end up firing off a DNS request for twitter.com, and at least one request to load data from Twitter.
Now let’s say you actually use Twitter. The DNS request will be the same, and you will have many requests to Twitter to load data.
In both situations a DNS request is sent off, so the DNS provider knows you probably loaded something but they are going to have a harder time understanding if you are a Twitter user or if you are just frequenting a website with Twitter embeds. However the network provider that can see to what servers the HTTPS request for data are going will see just how often you are actually connecting to Twitter and the size of the transferred data and can build an incomplete but still far more detailed picture of your habits, and they would be able to tell the difference between an only-embed viewer and a regular Twitter user.
Additional dystopian future possibility:
Also, for anyone with objectively nefarious future goals, even if the data is encrypted, if one day we are indeed able to break encryption en masse the DNS provider can’t decrypt data they don’t have but the network provider definitely could.
I mean this only routes a small amount to their servers, the actual data to use a website isn’t sent to 8.8.8.8.
I’ve never worked help desk, but to me you look good, not goofy or sleazy at all.
And ordinarily since your clothes are essentially a perfect fit for the role I wouldn’t even give it a second thought, but since you are here asking I’m going to try to offer some additional thoughts:
From my personal perspective (since I don’t know who really pays attention to what level of detail) I’d just recommend to make sure
The shirt, pants, and belt are all totally fine if not good. No complaints from me on your choice of apparel.
Software engineer here to say I show up to an interview in similar attire (I ask the recruiter what the expected attire is so I may dress slightly more or less formal depending on that), but after that I’m thankful there’s no dress code because I dress in a T-shirt and gym shorts basically all day every day barring weather concerns.
I never would have thought to call his outfit sleazy or even bad.
Most of the major components to Linux can’t become not-FOSS. It’s more likely that Windows will be made into a good, quality, user-respecting operating system.
(Also they can all be forked.)
The base piece of software for your computer being tied to a subscription is unacceptable, period.
Subscriptions are already too heavily pushed and for the most part are just being used to eek more money out of people.
I’m sure this subscription will also get mixed with the ads systems they are bolting into Windows and that stuff is already unacceptable.
Microsoft is treating the market as cattle to farm money, their behavior quite frankly has strayed into morally reprehensible. “Cooling jets” is not necessary, breaking up Microsoft is.
Skull joke? 😂
The latter point is probably correct, because it totally won’t stop people from going and he has to know this.
ATLA live action. It’s already almost gone from my memory but not quite all the way gone.
Quite frankly why the hell should I trust any publicly traded automaker to flash quality software?
Some of them have a track record for quantifying the cost of fixing an issue versus cost of settling lawsuits for that unfixed issue killing people.
Xcode is such hot garbage, the UX Is what you get when you like pretty and hate your programmer. (Honestly I hate most of Apple’s UX.)
Also I compiled a C# app for osx-x64 yesterday on Linux (that works, though I have no idea of I could sign it properly to avoid Apple’s annoying side load interference), though maybe it included a binary originally compiled by Microsoft on Apple hardware.
The trivialization doesn’t negate the point though, and LLMs aren’t intelligence.
The AI consumed all of that content and I would bet that not a single of the people who created the content were compensated, but the AI strictly on those people to produce anything coherent.
I would argue that yes, generative artificial stupidity doesn’t meet the minimum bar of original thought necessary to create a standard copyrightable work unless every input has consent to be used, and laundering content through multiple generations of an LLM or through multiple distinct LLMs should not impact the need for consent.
Without full consent, it’s just a massive loophole for those with money to exploit the hard work of the masses who generated all of the actual content.
No it’s clearly the Krispy Kreme Crusade, they don’t want America to run on Dunkin!
The ban is on campus networks, but the reactions I’m reading are acting like this is a ban on the campus itself.
It’s not censorship (or fascism), just like if they blocked PornHub it wouldn’t be censorship (or fascism).
And no, blocking PornHub on a university campus where the vast, vast majority of connected users are 18+ isn’t justifiable unless it was under the grounds of security.
I mean I’m not really picking to not play anymore because I don’t want to. They said they were going to turn it on like two months ago and I believed them. I wasn’t about to risk my account on the odd chance my crapple device is good enough to play it.
