The game has been out for quite some time now. It's only just arrived on Steam. Battle.net had no way to post game reviews, so now everyone is giving their opinion since they have the platform.
Just because the game is new on steam, it doesn't mean the game is actually new. People finally have the ability to let Blizzard know what they actually think, and they're doing just that.
Brazil is one of my favourite movies. AFAIK it's not based on a book. It is frequently compared to 1984, but it's not based on it. Just similar themes of a totalitarian dystopia.
I had it enabled for a bit and everything worked fine, but I was worried about accidentally triggering it so disabled it before hearing about the false alarms.
Meanwhile in Canada it's being recommended to disable emergency SOS on both iPhones and Androids because of how many false 911 calls they end up placing, causing first responders to waste time on non-emergencies.
Recently was looking for an rclone app and ended up finding Round Sync. It's a fork of RCX that's still being updated. They've made connecting to google drive and other services much easier.
Having a similar problem on endeavour os. When I try to sleep or hibernate it gives it a shot but I get a quick flash of a message about a device preventing sleep. Nothing plugged into the laptop, no fancy built in accessories.
Canadian here. I think the law is stupid. It's literally free advertising. I use Google News to see a bunch of local and national news sources in one spot. I only see the article headlines. If I want to see anything, I have to click and go to the full article. The news companies aren't paying anything to get aggregated and they get free traffic to their site.
In regards to the quoting pieces of the article they're linking to in search results, the brief snippets they provide often have barely any information at all or cut off before the information you want to see, so you have to click on the results anyway.
Our government is just inept when it comes to the internet.
Fediverse.observer is a good resource for sorting through and finding different instances for all types of activitypub platforms. There are pages for Lemmy and Kbin among plenty of others. That's how I found the instance I'm currently on, and I'm pretty happy with it.
I do lawn care and I've had heat exhaustion/minor heat stroke more times this year than every other year combined. I'm in Canada and I remember when 30 celsius with the humidex was hot. Now it's getting to nearly 40 fairly consistently.
Honestly, with how crap everything is getting and how many times governments have had to give out various relief funds the past few years, why do we not have a universal basic income yet? At least that way they wouldn't have to pass a new law every few months to give out a bit of pocket change that doesn't actually make a difference with how high the cost of living is now.
No apps, just use a DNS server that blocks ads. I like Control D. They have servers with many major blocklists and can be used with DoH, DoT, or just old unencrypted DNS if needed.
Yeah. When I was trying to find a kbin instance to join I'd go to the different ones, read the FAQ, privacy policy, terms of service, and made an educated decision after finding one that I thought was good, and I am not disappointed with my choice. A directory would be nice but a few extra clicks to find out the same information with more detail is worth it imo
If this is about blocking ads, how will this stop people using DNS based ad blocking? Been using control d for awhile and it's been great. Use their DNS on my router and every device in my house is ad free.
I pay for YouTube premium family as much as I hate doing it, mainly because of my step daughter. It's not easy to block YouTube ads on Roku, and my wife and I weren't a fan of the ads they would be showing before videos we would put on. She travels to her dad's place often so I have the family plan so no matter where she is she won't have to deal with ads.
Rather not be raising a child messed up by advertisements telling her what to think. When she gets a bit older and can understand what advertisements are I'll finally cancel, but she's very young and impressionable.
100 companies have contributed over 70% of greenhouse gas emissions. Only 100.
Do you really think that an average joe can make a difference? The blame doesn't lay on ordinary people. Us polluting is a byproduct of corporations polluting.
