The entire concept that something is right or wrong only if there is a consequence is everything that's fucking wrong with the world right now.

We need to teach our children, and ourselves, that doing the right thing always matters despite or in spite of a lack of consequence.

wow i havent thought of bleem! in 20 years

It's not, because downloading assets was not working, and with it not working eventually the user will shut it down thus having an effect on peak concurrent. It's not even that complex. If people can play your game they will stay on it increasing the count, if people cannot play your game they will not, thus decreasing the count.

Peak concurrent was marred by the game not being playable. It's not really a good indicator here.

Diff smell.

I call this 'outside' smell and you can smell it on a clear day.

Immigration is permanent residence. You can move somewhere not permanently, like on a temporary work visa - that is an expat. US/UK/Canada have a lot of treaty agreements with other countries, so a Canadian citizenship will essentially allow you into many countries more easily than those coming from a third world country. People from third world countries have to go through a more intensive visa process for temporary residence.

Another reason expat applies generally is because generally an expat from the US does not renounce their US citizenship despite the tax implications due to the need/desire to return home. The US is one of the few countries that will tax a US citizen anywhere in the world, which I think leads to the increased use of the word expat.

bet this will be a premium feature.

You're not supposed to intrinsically have your sense of direction in an unfamiliar location. Some people can do that but assuming you're not paying full attention on your way to a new location it's actually normal and expected to have to get your bearings which means taking a moment to orient yourself and figure out what direction is what. And then it's easy to forget (let's say you step into a store) until you build a sense of landmarks. Also the more dense a location the harder it is because it's more complex.

This is clearly the Samsung interface and thus not stock Android. Doesn't even really look like the same feature.

Most paywalls know this and don't load the content at all. Don't do it because it doesn't work

The first real job this loser has ever had

Specifically, the Board and thus the CEO must maximize company VALUE not profit.

There are other ways to increase company value that do not necessarily result in Q/Q / Y/Y profit increases.

But in the 1970s you get a guy named Milton Friedman who comes along with the concept of shareholder value in a 1970 essay for The New York Times, entitled "A Friedman Doctrine: The Social Responsibility of Business Is to Increase Its Profits".[5] In it, he argued that a company has no social responsibility to the public or society; its only responsibility is to its shareholders.

So there's been a lot of argument against it since esp as of late, but the economic hegemony still adheres to Friedman's economic principles.

I don't know what it is about the government they're like chomping at the bit to install technology from the snakeoil AI salesman.

Lol this is a "water is wet" level report.

It's already out. Not all phones will receive it. Those that do might not get it the same day pixels do.

This update is not an android security release that patches drivers or system files, but the update to google play services and related apps.

You are right in that it's unlikely the pixels will get any further A14 security updates until after A15.

I've purchased 7 games from them over the years, and my friends others. No issues. Started in 2014 with my last being in 2021.

Either Fennec or Mull. https://f-droid.org/en/packages/org.mozilla.fennec_fdroid/

https://f-droid.org/en/packages/us.spotco.fennec_dos/

Firefox stripped of its playstore requirements and telementry gives you fennec.

Fennec + arkenfox user.js installed = Mull.

yep firefox with arkenfox for me, same deal as librewolf. And Mull on mobile.

Switched about 2-3 months ago thinking it might be difficult or impact me negatively or something but its been easy and great.

uBO Lite.

Not my jam, lacks the power of the original.
