  • How do you think news sites earn money? They do not provide that content for free,
    you are their product of which they benefit.

    I use NoScript,
    which tells me about each JavaScript piece a website has, most if not all of them contain trackers (= data collection).

  • Each article,
    links to a news site,
    which is riddled with data trackers,
    which collects info about you,
    which is sold.

    In addition the sites contain advertisements.

  • Only these 2:

    Because they:

    • Spam up your feed
    • Spread depressing content (since it attracts more attention thus earns them more)
    • Try to manipulate you
  • Citra, internal resolution x9,
    and you've got yourself an early access to this :)

    No need to pay Nintendont, the law-suit company that makes games on the side, again for a game you already bought in the past.

  • Human Centipede,
    that shit is banned in a few countries for a reason..

    • Forgejo: But ForgeFed, it's federation software is still under development
    • Radicle: But they have unnecessary ties with crypto stuff
  • Imo cuz people are too PC (Politically Correct) buthurt lately.

    I'd even flip the tables, and call it racist if you won't allow other races to dress up / admire your own race.

    Ofc doing it to make fun / be a dick about other races is not okay.

  • I won't disclose where I store mine.

    But I'd recommend to:

    • Not backup your PW manager's database + key file in the same location
      (That would decrease security, x1 data breach would allow them to easily brute force your PW DB since they'll have the key)
    • Not go with a PW manager that does not allow you to choose a location where you desire to backup to (Seen plenty of mainstream PW managers getting data breached by now, so going with a cloud, which is not solely used for PW managers, has an advantage imo, since they tend to be less targeted by hackers)

    I've been happily using KeeWeb + Keepass2Android for years now:

  • 2 words for you:
    Password Manager

    Get around to using one :P

    I only remember my password to my PW manager, which additionally is encrypted with a key file to increase security.

    The rest of my PWs are 128 character long random generated PWs, with capitals, numbers, special characters etc..

  • I guess a little inflation is good,
    to prevent all money from ending up in a single party's hands.

    However that's the only upside I could think of, other then that I fully agree with you.

    Central/regional banks "printing" money, through bonds and fractional banking, is blatant stealing from people who worked / saved in the past imo. Since it leads to inflation / devaluation of the currency.

  • It might not be as environmentally friendly as POS (Proof of Stake),
    however it's much more secured against attacks.

    POS only has a few hundred validators that need to be attacked.
    POW needs tens of thousands if not more miners that need to be attacked.

    Imo monetary systems,
    should aim for maximum security.

  • I enjoyed the side content,
    only some of the collectables e.g. the Vista Points where a bit dull
    (however luckily Aloy helps out with them).

    HFW is bigger then HZD,
    which I don't mind at all,
    actually a bit sad that I'm about to complete it :P

  • Horizon Forbidden West,
    currently going through the Burning Shores DLC.

    Truly love the game as much as I loved Zero Dawn,
    only 2 remarks are:

    • Gear upgrades are a chore/grind
      (Temporarily drop to "Story" difficulty to farm the huge amount of parts needed)
    • Machine Strike is not fun
      (Buy/use a "Slaughterspine Piece" to cheese it)

    Other then those 2 remarks,
    I love everything about the game / lore / graphics :)

  • XMR is one of the few honorable crypto projects out there though.

    However this fundraiser is suspicious and spamming, which I do not condone.

  • They might have been doing it for longer then I've been aware of.

    But this is a (small) list of things that caught my attention and made me despise them:

    • Garry's Mod takedowns
    • Yuzu + Citra takedowns
    • Relic Castle takedown
    • Palworld Mod takedowns
    • BOTW Mod takedowns
    • PointCrow DMCAs
    • Gary Bowser's life ruined
  • No matter the nationality,
    spyware is not okay..

    Never has been, never will be.
    It's a form of oppression,
    and an invasion upon your rights (to privacy).

  • Interesting, so in between lawsuits and takedowns they still do game related stuff from time to time huh?

    One thing is certain,
    due to all those lawsuits and takedowns,
    I won't be buying into their next console,
    they won't get a single dime from me anymore.
