These kinds of things never happen to me, could it be because I have all the tracking stuff disabled?? /s

This is kind of a strange article. Of course a court isn’t going to judge by someone’s character or good karma. If the judgement seems too high the blame should be on charging for someone else’s crime (deterrent sentences) and what is written as acceptable in the book

They literally said the issue was an unintentional bug and then fixed it. How is that damage control?

No

Big fan of control, that’s why I’m willing to give this a go.

There was news other week about them seeking investment from tencent to finish control 2, they operated at a loss in 2022, 2023 and first half of 2024 and they didn’t do layoffs despite the industry trend. They also bought control from 505. They need the money

Will it not use it even after the ram fills up? I wouldn’t want the compressed part be prioritised anyways

Puha said FBC: Firebreak is meant to be “a pick-up-and-play experience” that’s easy to jump into, and while “a steady supply of new content” is planned post-release, it’s not intended to be a game-as-a-service: “This isn’t about logging in every day for some loot or fear of missing out on materials.”

It’s live service… Or is that a bad thing? Then it’s not! Unless…?

/s Sounds like they’re trying to catch the paranormal coop online multiplayer crowd that makes a game go viral every year to ease their financial woes

This goes on the ‘might be an impatient gamer for this’ pile

Do you need a swappiness over 1 if you don’t have another swap device?

It looks like a Mexico filter reshade preset ‘mod’ at best. At worst they changed the mood and time of day of a bunch of scenes and npcs potentially glow indoors now (like at 1:41)

Isn’t this already a thing on Wayland?

Metaprogression

They say that they don’t have a minimum speed requirement and the speedtest result doesn’t affect your application. Also considering that they specify that you choose the node geographically closest to you (instead of the lowest latency one) and the only other information in the test is latency, it does sound like they’re either looking for vpns or your location.

IP is quite unreliable when it comes to geolocation, especially if you have a dynamic ip

Their speedtest requirement also seems to be about geolocating you.

Edit: Also would anyone explain why they prefer mp3 to aac and don’t even mention ogg? And what’s the point of uploading both cbr and vbr mp3s? Isn’t it ogg>aac>mp3 vbr>mp3 cbr quality wise?

How is the link file executing malware? Can you put any shell script as the target?

Nintendo noticed ai exists just now and thus dodged the hype cycle

… an html file that loads a video from the api servers. They’re still hosting the videos, no?

Wait so this is an api to… Build piracy streaming websites?? And they claim they’re immune to dmca? Why not just make their own website?

“Can’t live without” is an overstatement, but here are mine:

• Kvaesitso, search focused android launcher. I used to really like nova launcher’s local search and navigated my phone mostly using that. But once gensture navigation became a thing I had to stop using nova and replicate the experience in Samsung launcher with various local search apps that were lacking in comparison. Tried to go back a couple times once gestures with 3rd party launchers got better but found my old setup still too ugly and sluggish to go back to. Recently I randomly came across Kvaesitso on fdroid and it was everything I ever wanted out of a launcher.

• Amberol music player. Not the ideal music player I’d like but at least it’s not Elisa.

• Kid3, audio file tag editor. It has much better workflow/automation than mp3tag that I used in windows, and it seems if you spend some effort on it you could add more automation to make it even better.

Looks better than I expected

Only upload TV and Radio shows that are PRODUCED IN A COMMONWEALTH COUNTRY or IRELAND. The UK is not included!

Also requires you choose a binary gender on account creation, demands your home ip address, requires you have 0.8+ ratio after downloading 35GB (which sounds impossible due to the limited user pool as a home seeder that doesn’t upload new torrents) or pay. Private trackers are creepy

Edit: it seems most popular shows don’t count towards download but do count towards uploads and that’s how they expect you to maintain ratio
