I disabled ipv6 long ago and never moved. Not even blinked.

Discovery, especially the last 2 seasons are very, very inclusive. Which pisses some people off.

Next to that everything is debated. Sometimes way too long. And if you cant look past that it’s sure to annoy you very much.

On places likw g2a.com steam accounts are sold all the time.

The worse they can do is ban the account. Just give it away if you want.

There is no legal argument. You (or whoever up in this thread) brought that up, not me. I reacted to that. It was never stated anywhere that it was optional. You pulled that out of, I dunno. I strongly suggest you yourself read that faq and dont regurgitate BS you red on discord but didnt bother to confirm yourself.

You accepted the license and the end user agreement the moment you started the game and didn’t reimburse the game in the first few hours. No blood, no fingerprint or the life of your firstborn son needed.

Read shit before you click accept. Don’t accept what you dont like. That is all.

Do what you want, i dont care if the reviews are bad or good.

But i just have to react to your “legal” argument.

Legal pressure over an EULA you accepted when you bought the game and got reminded on when you first started the game? The game you didn’t refund for over 3 months and probably have 10s if not 100s of hours in? That EULA?

Because contrary to what you seem to think it was in there from the get go. That it didn’t work is nice, but doesn’t mean anything.

That they created a workaround because it didn’t work is nice of them but again, besides the point.

You accepted the EULA. you clearly didn’t read it. Who’s fault is that?

The only pressure they felt where you guys making a lot of noise. And that was and is great.

But what did Sony learned? What did they really learn?

I’ll tell you:

Next time, when they fuck up… Don’t back down. Because if you do back down the negativity stays anyway and you gain nothing.

That’s the lessons the corpos have learned. They’ve learned they can’t win. Just accepting the damage is the better strategy. That way you earn something (the ones who did link) at least.

Why the downvotes: because you’re clearly the asshole. Or isn’t this /amitheasshole?

Yes, older people have views from the past. That’s because they are older people. Yes, older people bitch and whine. That’s because friends and spouses are dead by now, they feel alone and forgotten. Yes, older people are not always nice. That’s because things you don’t even think about, like putting on clean socks or taking a shit by yourself have become hard, for some even impossible to do on their own and/or without pain leaving them with a feeling of loss and even regret for living that long.

On top of that they’re literally waiting to die. And let’s not forget dementia.

Now, maybe your granny is younger like 60 something, but still…

Your response to the situation lacks a lot of empathy and respect. Without this person you wouldn’t be sitting there, scrolling through anime titties you clearly like just not always.

And lastly: you will be her in 40-60 years. (i don’t know how old you are) You will be alone, your body will falter, your (grand) children will be uninterested in you. Etc.

Name one company which does. There aren’t. Every corporation is big, cumbersome and full of people who make mistakes and don’t follow procedures.

For reasons unknown this reaction was placed wrongly. My client fucked up.

It is in response to https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/u/SnotFlickerman

@SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone

What are you saying? Age discrimination is ok? Older people are too expensive? This is a made up problem?

Or are you saying this is ok because it has been happening for decades and it shouldn’t change because it has been going on forever ?

I don’t get it.

Discrimination is bad, m’kay? Against white, yellow, black, red, old, young, man, women, trans and everything in between I forgot. It all shouldn’t matter. Especially in the corporate world.

It’s bullshit. If someone does a good job there is no reason to fire them. If it’s true then i say to this guy : good for you. Make 'em pay.

Im with the earlier “yeah… No.”

Because

“If people can take case-dependence for passwords”

They cant now do they ? If they could passwords would be a-okay and there wouldn’t be any need for stickies on monitors, password managers, biometrics, SSO, MFA and passwordless authentication.

The dumbest idea in computing is assuming everyone is as smart as you.

They aren’t. Why isn’t *nix any bigger? Here’s your answer. People are stupid.

Why did IT only finally took off with windows 3.11? because people could understand that. Barely. Most of us where way to dumb for everything which came before.

Why does ipv6 acception takes so long? Because people are stupid and don’t get it. Nobody really gets hex. So they just stay with what they can read and more or less get. Even the hardest part of ip4, subnetting, has an easy way out: just add 255.255.255.0 in there and it works. Doesnt work? Keep replacing 255 with zeros and eventually it will. Subnetting on ipv6? No idea. Let’s just disable ipv6 on the internal lan and leave everything on ipv4. Zero migration, zero risk, zero training needed.

Why do so many companies only go half assed into cloud? Because they don’t get it.

Powershell? Only half, a third even, of the admins truly get it.

I could go on.

Succes is build on simplicity.

The headline here on lemmy is unreadable gibberish with BG3 in the title. It could as well be

Layoff 5blagagasjjee Swen shgrwaaahahaaaa Baldurs Gate 3 dacghgfrtf gone. Click here for ads.

So i get where he’s coming from. On the other hand, once you start reading the ads with some content in between it becomes clear immediately that this is about the IP holder, not the game studio.

So… What your telling us is that it’s bad. Not good.

because incompatible. It won’t work on any device. Except those of that cult. That cult whose leader killed himself after magically getting a a new liver somewhere in Asia.

You know, donor organs for which there are waiting lists of months and months.

Which was totally not weird and surely 100% legal and all. Just fine.

You know what really abouts the flying f out of me?

Even if I start with something quite heavy like system of a down, ace of spades or whatever it always ends up after half an hour with ballads, soft rock and what have you. Elevator music.

Why. Why? Wasn’t I clear ? I want metal. And lots of it. That’s what i started with. Not muzak. Stay with the genre. Not jump them.

Not to shit on you (well maybe as little) but the guy has a point.

You want them to not care. Doesn’t that go both ways? If some edgy straight horny teen wants more straight tiddies and less gay in his game, who the fuck cares?

Cause let’s be honest, that’s what we’re talking about here. Teens and desperate 30 year olds.

And don’t you think what you imply is scary?

And with that I mean : “people’s thoughts influence their actions”

I fucking hope so.

And who are you to tell them what is right and what is wrong?

The question, the problem with crypto, is not how, it’s why?

It isn’t about if we can or cannot. It’s about the usecase of it all.

For now, the only use case crypto has is wel… Betting. It’s hard to call it anything else like speculation.

You would be out of your mind to use it as a currency. The worth of crypto is too volatile. Even black market usage is problematic due to this. (did i just buy a pound of coke for 50k or 100k? Who knows? I guess we see tomorrow)

It also is too slow to use as a currency; the transaction times are off the charts compared to other forms.

It also is the most wasteful form for storing wealth.

It’s also the most risky way for storing wealth. The amount of hacks and scams are insane.

It, in its current form will never be a legal tender. Currency is about control for governments, to devalue or not, to prop up the economy, boosting it or easing it down when needed and crypto doesn’t provide that. So to use that wealth you’ll always need an exchange. A third party. Which, recent history has thought us, are very prone to abuse and regulation. they can be banned overnight. (China comes to mind)

It’s a solution. The question is for what. The popularity of it all is based on 2 things : greed and the fear of missing out. (which again boils down to greed)

(chuckles)

I dare to say 0.01%. Most devs, including open source devs are payed one way or another.

Sure, there are labours of love. But most aren’t.

Shut up. You’re paying for a service and still get almost 50% ads?

Why? How? Which? And do we in the EU also have this awaiting in our future?

There is stuff worth pirating, stuff which can’t be found through other means or is way overpriced. Stuff like old movies or impossible to legally gather roms.

For all others: “convenience is king.”

And you’re smart to not pirate software. The. “no illegal software” rule has saved me many times.

Yeah, no.

The hunt is only fun if you’ve got time to spare.

Throw in a spouse, kids, good but demanding job, a place to live, social obligations, detoriating (geriatric) parents, and you’re so happy you can just mash one single button and your favourite track, game or series starts to play.

That’s the reason why people stop pirating. Time.

When time is not (yet) your most precious resource you can see the fun in anything. Even virus scanning.

It’s the least watched service in my household. It’s only still in our streaming subscriptions because of the low, very low price I’ve got in the first few weeks when t It was introduced here in NL.

I find the new “max” content bad. It’s not at the same level as the HBO series. My family just doesn’t bother with it.

The moment the new pricing and rebranding comes over here wil Probably be the moment I cancel.

House of dragons and the last of us is not enough to keep paying monthly.

Our household watches netflix, prime, youtube, disney+, skyshowtime (paramount) and lastly max.
