The system would have to be built so that the government can’t connect the user to the website, as you don’t want the government to build profiles on website usage by person. Though the bigger challenge here is trust - even a technically perfect system could be circumvented by the operators.

A good example for this were the COVID tracking apps. The approach was built so that as little information was leaked as possible.

Nice, hope you enjoy & have fun!

In what way do they expect you to do that? I’ve been happily playing on Linux.

Do you just want games to no longer release on consoles? Or what is your complaint?

Thank you for sharing your experience, those points are exactly what I’m worried about. Let’s hope the situation improves over the next couple of years!

Would you say the technology is developed far enough?

I’m definitely interested, as the phone screen size is often a bit too small. But any mechanical movement makes me nervous on a small device that should last multiple years.

Seriously, you just spam advertisements in unrelated communities? Seems like everybody should avoid the Druckerei Blum GmbH in München, as that’s a very unserious business practice.

I would never use the services of the Druckerei Blum GmbH in München.

“Mile wide and inch deep” is a great way to put it.

I’m playing through the game right now, and there’s a bunch of small annoyances (like getting stuck on invisible terrain while walking/driving), but I can overlook those. But so many things are lifeless beyond the basic game mechanics.

As an example, I just bought an expensive apartment. I didn’t expect a crazy cutscene or anything, but at least the person I bought it from should have shown some kind of reaction, maybe a short dialogue. But no, nothing. I pressed the button, money was subtracted, and I can enter the elevator. The person I bought it from didn’t even look up.

Compare that to something like Baldurs Gate 3, where even small unlikely interactions have surprising amounts of interactivity. The game oozes life out of every pore.

It’s depressing that this is the final state after so many updates.

Talk about missing the forest for the trees. No, that would not have been a better move. Just put in some actual effort.

What are you referring to by “OSI”? Not the 7 layer model, but that’s all I can find. It’s good to explain abbreviations when they’re not the most common usage of that abbreviation.

If they don’t have my contacts, they can’t spoof a number from my contacts. If they just spoof local numbers, the chance of them choosing one of my contacts is incredibly slim.

And how does a scammer get my contacts?

Wrong sub, this article is about The Onion

Well yes, you didn’t get first ads. But what about second ads?

You mean on Iraqi landscapes?

Imagine you can set a theme of your choice like “Star Trek technobabble” for little explanations for the delay.

“Delay due to chirality recalibration of phase discriminating amplifier for positronic brain…”

Might literally be one of the best use cases I’ve seen so far!

I’m aware, it was mostly a joke about these “features” making Notepad worse. Nevertheless, thank you :)

Man, God of War Ragnarok was a fun game. Too bad they didn’t want me to pay for it.

Try finger but dog.

How have I never heard of “gayety”
