You mean you are?

Perhaps it’s time for the US air force to do some kind of intelligence review on its generals. You know, perhaps they should make sure that they have some.

Is Texas now competing to be more or diseutopian than North Korea because it’s certainly seems like that appears to be the goal.

But I still need the website to actually download the game my point is if GOG went down I would be in exactly the same situationm I have no way to get another copy of the game.

So it isn’t any more convenient to me than Steam

I think that ship has unfortunately sailed.

Even if I buy a game on Steam I don’t technically own it. If the game was ever deleted from their servers and then I lost my local copy either because I uninstalled it or because I got a new computer, I would have no way to get my game back, and I doubt that Valve would refund me.

But some games literally don’t have physical releases, even if I did have an optical drive. So what option do I have?

The only real solution to all of this is a changing copyright law that says that once a piece of software no longer becomes commercially available through legitimate means it becomes legal to pirate it. But that would require politicians around the world to a, understand computers and b, not being 900,000 years old.

Yeah everyone else can see the sentence as it is. It’s just an instance thing.

In that they are present at all.

The risk is Russia also has nukes and we don’t 100% know that the oligarchs haven’t stolen all of the uranium cores.

They’re not more or less in the way just because they’re electric.

I’ve never understood the hate for them. Sure people leave them in annoying places and inconsiderate with them but that’s not the scooters fault. Also it’s a very easy problem to solve if authorities could be bothered, if a scooter is found in the way then fine the last person to use it.

There is also .io for the Indian Ocean territories. They seem to be fine with it. It is interesting they have problem with it. I wonder what the actual motivation is, because it can’t be due to a lack of viable domain for businesses.

I am just confused by the idea that someone who is not religious is automatically doomed to alcoholism.

The two things are not even on the same continuum, the comment makes no sense.

I don’t think anyone understands what he means, least of all himself.

Also he needs to Google “straw man”.

we’re probably the only intelligent life in the universe.

Fairly boring simulation then isn’t it?

It always reminds me of North Korea, or China. No matter what else you do, you must be seen to believe in the right thing or else you are some kind of evil deviant.

What the religion or belief system is actually is is about is almost irrelevant. The important thing is to believe, understanding it is entirely not required and almost frowned upon.

Am I allowed to drink alcohol as long as I believe in God, I’m not quite I understand their random system of belief.

Also, I guess that drugs are okay?

I think they were being a bit unreasonable in expecting everyone else to have verified sign-ups. It would be prohibitively difficult to verify all of the users especially with the recent influx.

If the other instances had tried that I think Lemmy would be dead on arrival. It would have taken so long to verify each user that most people would have got bored by the time they’re approval came through and would never have even bothered signing in.

I do wish there was a convenient way to move your account from one instance to another.

When I chose my instance I didn’t really know what I was doing so I just picked something at random, and unfortunately the instance I picked isn’t exactly physically close to where I lived so the load times are a bit slow. Although they’re still faster than Reddit so 🤷

It prevents any website being able to run intercepts on pasting. This is good when they’re using it to just prevent you from doing it for no real reason but there are many situations where you don’t want a user to be able to arbitrarily just drop text into a text field.

The big one is 2fa. A lot of the time you might need to enter a five digit code and each number may need to be entered into a particular box if you just click in the first box and press paste after copying the code from an email then it’ll paste the entire contents into that one box. You don’t want that you want some code to automatically paste each letter into each subsequent box, that requires you intercept the original paste command.

Oh, they are authoritarian enough. They just aren’t powerful enough.

Want to know what it looks like to go power crazy with no power, then go look at the Tories.

What I mean is that he does not appear to have done anything to convince the traditional Tory voters that he has a grip on things which is entirely what he was bought in to do.

They were concerned about the economy because of Truss. Yet we are now in a recession. And no matter how many times he blames the war in Ukraine the truth is that other countries in Europe are doing better.
They were concerned that the party image is being damaged by the inhuman handling of the immigration crisis. Well their current actions haven’t exactly helped their image in that regard have they?
They were concerned the brexit was not going to be dealt with. So is it fixed?
