I wonder how many people actually have a problem with this. Very few I'd suspect. Zelensky still seems popular within Ukraine, and I think most would agree that this isn't a good time for a change in leadership. Plus elections are expensive and nobody in the occupied space would be able to vote. Yeah I think this was the right call.
Yeah I don't get it. If you go on c/Christianity, half the posts have more downvotes than upvotes, and it causes a bunch of people to be inactive. They have over 100 members but nobody posting.
I miss r/Christian, there are very few of us on Lemmy, the communities seem basically empty here.
It seems like the number of people who want to have that community, and the number of people who want to downvote any post that supports Christianity, are roughly equal here.
This is a joke, right? This feels like a very dumb solution. I don't know much about UTF-8 encoding, but it sounds like Roman characters can be encoded shorter than most or all others because of a shorthand that assumes Roman characters. In that case, why not take that functionality and let a UTF-8 block specify which language makes up most of the text so that you can have that savings almost every time? I don't see why one would want it to be random.
I don't like how we have 2 games called CS2 in the same year. Since Cities has worse performance, I say we all agree to abbreviate it some other way, like 2 Cities 2 Skylines.
Someone actually emailed Valve about this back in 2013. Here's their response: https://i.imgur.com/4sa1Ln6.jpg
Thank you for contacting Steam Support. In the unlikely event of the discontinuation of the Steam network, measures are in place to ensure that all users will continue to have access to their Steam games.
It seems like Valve wants us to think they have an EoL plan. With the goodwill they've built over the years, I want to believe them.
I'd say in your case piracy was 1000% justified. You bought it, you should be able to play it.
I think piracy is acceptable if one of these two conditions are met:
So?
Closed source isn't necessarily evil, neither is DRM. It's all in how you implement it.
Valve's launcher/drm are so much less intrusive than their competitors. They've demonstrated more openness to user customization and modding over the years than just about anyone else. If we didn't have Valve, we would have more EA and Epic Games, do you really want that?
I used ProtonDB. You can log in with your Steam account and it will show the rating for each of your games, along with how many hours they are. It won't give the percentages for you, I had to calculate those myself, but the site got me 80% of the way there.
The only games that have anti-cheat on them actually support Linux anyway, just CS:GO. Not to mention, 77% of my hours in Steam games were spent in games that support Linux natively. 91% in games with ProtonDB scores Gold or better.
Wait…is Independence Day a lie? We still are ruled by aliens?
There’s a giant ball of extremely hot plasma in the sky and we aren’t supposed to look at it. What is it hiding? Surely if someone managed to look at it long enough, they would see the truth!
Wow…this summary had almost nothing to do with Ukraine…
Sorry bot, you usually do a good job, but not this time.
I once saw a computer at my workplace with over a year of uptime…
This is your hourly reminder that Brave is still Chromium and still contributes to Google’s influence over internet standards.
I’m looking for a gun that makes holes, but not bullet holes. You’ll figure it out.
Basically that. I don’t want to say ‘bad parenting’, because my own parents basically never spoke to me about this stuff at all and I don’t think it negatively affected me at all. I think they just observed that I didn’t really need them to have that talk, and so didn’t bother. In my case, it worked out. But for many kids it might not.
On a moral level, I do agree with keeping children from accessing certain content online, especially porn. I think I’d be happier if I porn was less accessible to me until I had the mental faculties to understand it.
On a practical / policy level, I disagree since there is no way to stop children from accessing this content without drastically hampering the freedoms of all people. I see no good solutions. I really feel bad for parents who have to raise kids in the internet age.
Probably trying to paint a narrative that Zelensky is undemocratic and corrupt, which some people in the US might believe.
