Context is important.
It was made by 4chan users over a decade ago, when that sort of thing was accepted there as “edgy humor”. Clearly there’s been some growing up, since they don’t offer/support those domains now.
Domains you could register an email with them at.
Ugh, yeah.
They were started by 4chan users, back when that sort of thing was more accepted there as “edgy humor”. Glad they grew up.
Yeah, I don’t know why they don’t have the normal “what is this” text from their main page at least at the bottom or something.
cock.li offers free email service with no personal info needed for signup. They’ve done this for 11 years, with no major outages to my knowledge, relying only on donations without explicitly asking for them or bugging their users.
I think at some point they also offered paid VPS services.
Very useful for accounts that you don’t want connected to your other “identities”, but where you’ll still need them associated with a real email for things like password resets.
It’s also tor friendly.
You can embed other images in the post body, and in your comments.
The only reason that’s any different than any other time Microsoft has released a new OS is that more people own computers now than ever before, improvements in hardware power have slowed significantly, and people are more outspoken online now.
It’s still not reasonable to expect them to support all hardware forever on an aging codebase.
I understand the frustration, but this isn’t some new thing for this new OS in particular.
Don’t you know that it’s entirely unreasonable to expect your users to have hardware that’s a standard feature on any machine made in the last ten years, that can be added to existing systems for around $30 and a free card slot? /s
I don’t think I’ll ever understand the insistence that a TPM module is a bridge too far.
I mean, it definitely is, but it also has been since Episode 2 came out.
Some supposedly do, and then have been found hallucinating non-existent ones.
I think you want to direct that at the people who voted for Trump, not the people pointing out why others voted for Trump.
Unfortunately you can’t expect the entire voting public to be aware and knowledgable about all this shit, and the candidates still need to appeal to those voters to win. Which plays a decent role in why Kamala lost.
You might be interested in Marc Laidlaw’s (the story author for Half-Life) Epistle 3, the rough outline of the story plan for Half-Life 3 that he turned into a letter from Gordon and released after he left Valve. He has since said that he regrets releasing it, as game stories are wildly impacted by the design and development of the game itself, so the end result would likely be far different. Especially with Alyx retconning some things. That said, it’s still an interesting look at what was planned at least at one point. Fans are working on a fangame based on the concept.
Likewise, there’s the book Half-Life: Raising the Bar, which documents a TON of stuff about the creation of Half-Life and Half-Life 2, with a bunch of info on concept art and cut ideas. The original plan for the game would have been even darker than what we got and didn’t feature Gordon at all! Unfortunately you’ll probably just need to download a pirate scan of it, as I don’t believe they’ve printed new copies in over a decade.
Together with everything the fans have figured out about the early leaked version of Half-Life 2 that matches up with the cut plot in Raising the Bar, you can build your own rich “fan canon” until Valve releases anything more.
I do think it was a missed opportunity to not have Laidlaw write some books set in the universe when they didn’t need him working on game plot though.
No way that wasn’t absolutely intentional.
Small caveat:
The first switch emulator that was taken down (I think yuzu), was justified by Nintendo as copyright infringement because people (including moderators) were sharing copyrighted material openly on their public discord. BIOS files, links to games, and early leaks.
The more recent one (Ryujinx I think) was the one that did things right, so Nintendo didn’t have that copyright leg to stand on. So instead (according to the maintainer of the Mac fork) they sent goons to the house of the head dev in Brazil… to “talk” him into taking it down.
Guess the Snowflake (third party data storage and processing company/service) breaches earlier this year taught us nothing.
There are mods for it to restore the soundtrack and other little tweaks.
So… money laundering and a tool for storing assets in non-liquid form, as usual with the high end art world.
I have a strong abiding loathing for Gearbox’s CEO, Randy Pritchford, but the team they have behind RoR2 now seem to really want to do a good job. They’ve been very up front, in a way I only sometimes see with small indie devs, about the process of fixing core game parts they managed to break when they released the core game patch that coincided with this DLC.
I’m still waiting a good long while before I touch RoR2 again, but I feel like it will be fixed eventually. Can’t say that for all of my games.
There are a bunch of “gimmick” alarm clocks that might help.
I had this one for a little while that sounded like R2D2 being kept alive while it’s brain was being scrambled. If you didn’t get to it in 10 seconds or so, it would roll off the table and start scurrying around the room. It was annoying enough that my parents returned it, after it was their idea in the first place.
There was also one where the alarm could only be turned off by a “key” that would take off like one of those pull cord helicopter blade toys when the alarm went off.
I think there’s also things like big vibrating bass speakers you can strap to a bed frame to try and “shake” someone awake.
In the end what worked for me was just setting a ton of alarms. Like every 15-30 minutes starting an hour before I actually had to get moving.
Good luck.
Yep, and in the statement they’re referring to, it explicitly suggests that their users should set up PGP.
