It was probably used for spam in the past, so they added a rule to trash all links to that domain.

I don’t mind it either, they need some way to finance the development. However I wish they would make packs of older DLCs and sell those cheaper.

For example in Europa Universalis IV you need a whole bunch of DLC, and buying seven 5 year old DLCs for full price is just not very appealing. Sure, you can try and wait for sales but they are not always available when you want to get them.

Subscription based teeth?

Accidents have minor consequences compared to GTA IV.

I agree with you I much prefered the driving in 4 over any other that I can remember. However, one really weird thing was that sometimes you could hit a curb at relatively low speed and you would fly through the windshield. Other times you were totally indestructable.

And if it succesful, or at least passenger doesn’t boycott them over it, it is just a question of time until other airlines adds it as well

That is still source code, obfuscated but still source code.

Counting in lines of code is the most stupid metric.

It works quite fine, use it daily. Well, XMMS2 to be pedantic.

Just some shellscripts bound to windows-keys to pause/play and load new files.

The question is whether x86 is even relevant anymore

Also RISC-V, though that is probably a few years away at least.

It is still just a “trust us” deal. They say they have deleted it, and all you can do is trust them. They could possibly get into legal troubles if it was shown they were lying, but that could be easily avoided as well.

GDPR is ok, but much of it is based on good actors doing what they should.

The most popular streamers aren’t popular because they are good at games, it’s because they are entertaining.

Exactly, that is my point. I just don’t think they are entertaining though, which is fine. There are lot of tv shows and movies I don’t like either.

Not sure what you mean with commentators. But even if I don’t particularly enjoy a certain sport, I can see if someone is talented at it and appreciate their effort they put into it. But most likely I still won’t watch much of it. There is so much content, I see no point in seeing anything I don’t enjoy.

I like some sports, but can’t stand game streamers. Athletes train for years to become the best in their sport/position/etc, streamers are usually mediocre at the games at best. I rather just play the game myself. Much more of a personality cult around streamers, and I have no interest in.

But well, people are different. If some people enjoy it, go ahead just explaining from another point of view why I don’t like it

…and when they don’t pay Discord under the table. Discord wouldn’t be unique if this was the case either.

I don’t know where you are getting those numbers from. Most put chrome in around 78%, edge at 10% and then everything else. And all chrome re-skins are just that, google still controls it. There is a reason one of the biggest software companies in the world just gave up their own browser engine and runs a competitor’s with some face paint.

Google are in a far better position to push something like this through than Microsoft ever where, due to their near monopoly on searches. Any site not using it would be more or less dead. Just going from number 1 to 2 on a google search can mean a huge drop in traffic, and then imagine not even being on it at all.

now it is mostly written for web browsers (between which there are no longer any significant differences in terms of standards compatibility).

At this point I think it is just a matter of time until Google (most likely due to their near monopoly with Chrome), will push for some new standard that they own and control and must be used everywhere. For some handwaving combination of security and protect the kids, etc. And google are in a great position to make it happen, don’t support it? Oh noes, your site is no longer listed in google searches.

And that will be the end of the open web, you can only use one browser that totally controls what you can and cannot do. Ad blocking is just the start, saving websites or images? Nah. We don’t allow that. Copy the url? No, you need to use this share button that has embedded tracking links in it, etc.

It also means that they can freeze separately

Pretty good summary of Microsoft’s “innovations” the last decade or so

Diverting is really expensive for the airlines, so you know they only do it if there is no other way. So it can’t just have been a bit of a bad smell…

They added the instigator penalty to cut down fights as well. The player deemed responsible for startibg the fight gets an extra penalty, and that does indeed give the other team an advantage.

You can export the list of subscribed communities in 0.19.

If you do that every now and then a shutdown would still hurt. As all the communities hosted on it would be lost but at least you can import your subscription list on another server.

Different workflows.
