Having the pixel buds myself, I feel your pain. Do a little bit of physical activity and at least one side gets loose and slippery.

I found that I simply dont have symmetrical ear canals, I use the mid size plug on one and the smallest plug on the other ear. That way they seem to fit somewhat reliably.

My personal belief still is that the prohibitive approach is futile and ultimately more harmful than the alternative: embrace the technology, promote it and create deepfakes of everyone.

Soon the taboo will be gone, the appeal as well, and everyone will have plausible deniability too, because if there are dozens of fake nudes of any given person then who is to say which are real, and why does it even matter at that point?

This would be a great opportunity to advance our societal values and morals beyond prudish notions, but instead we double down on them.

E: just to clarify I do not at all want to endorse creating nudity of minors here. Just point out that the girl in the article wouldn’t have to humiliate herself trying to do damage control in the above scenario, because it would be entirely unimportant.

You think a company producing weeb games can’t do this at the behest of a totalitarian government?

Okay then

As the other commenter suggested, try bazzite. Setup as easy as configuring a new smartphone and ready to game right off the bat

They added an option to subscribe instead. Pay a monthly fee, get access to any and all dlc.

I dont love their monetization model either but I understand the need for financial return on the investment of continued development.

Dont try to argue in good faith with someone who doesn’t

Well I agreed that it is an ultimately bad change, but I can see how the beginner mode mentality would lead to this conclusion. Provide the new user with the most stable and bug free experience possible, and after some time they will probably turn that setting off on their own to get all that popular software.

I dont know, it is just the general consensus on every “I want to drop windows but i am scared of Linux” post ever made, and from my personal experience I found it actually too much like windows (made a live boot before I chose another distro).

I think it is a stupid change myself, but as far as I (recent Linux convert) can tell, mint is considered the go to distro for people coming freshly over from windows, and decidedly caters to beginners. A default setting for maximum user protection makes sense for that.

Iirc Vin diesel is a similar little bitch, which led to them clashing on set during the car movies

I have a pretty good memory for faces, just really not for names. I know where and when I met someone but I can’t tell you their name even if we met a bunch of times.

I can’t help you personally because I’m just a Linux / lutris beginner myself, but I found their discord to be reasonably helpful for general support:

Well its not that much worse:

Apparently there are also more normal pictures of her and one that’s way worse than this or the op, so my guess is some sort of plastic surgery obsession developing in more recent times

Just look at the fine print. Also of course it is ai, you can’t bread and deep fry something and keep this much detail. There is a reason fried foods are simple shapes, even those for kids who are marketed to with fun shapes

Why?

If they all up and died, and their heirs too, all that absurd wealth would fall back to society where it belongs and would over night end modern day capitalism. All for the low cost of a few hundred morally bankrupt people all over the world, who by all objective measures exhibit parasitic behavior towards everyone else. More people die in car crashes each year.

It seems so pathetically small that this is what a politician costs. This is less than 2% of one billion, which in itself is just a fracture of what the rich have to their name. If you’re gonna whore out your politics at least have the dignity to ask for more than chump change

Betting this is someone desiring to monetize some or all of what they are offering. Could be any malicious government too

I meant more like, either of these not all. Nothing worth more than 5-10 bucks combined

They’re probably referring to minor gifts random people might offer you out of gratitude sometime, say if you do customer service and went out of your way for them. A bottle of normal priced wine, some chocolates perhaps, a gift card for a lunch at xyz. Some giveaway merch they have tons of.
