In my opinion not expanding it to mental illness is short sighted.

Many people suffer in silence, or don’t let known the extent of their feelings of their mental illness and this could be an opportunity to open a dialogue with their doctor.

This could be an opportunity to let known the extent of their illness and seek alternative treatments before MAID as part of the requirements.

If people are at that point it may happen anyway but without anyone knowing how bad it had become.

How? Human error.

Why? Microsoft is just that kind of company and always has been. Their t’s aren’t crossed and i’s aren’t dotted, and people buy their shit because they’re used to it.

Hard disagree.

With Windows you’re paying Microsoft for the privilege of them turning on a vacuum for all your private data AND showing you ads as well.

If anything Windows is worse than MacOS from that standpoint at this point, and both companies need a huge about face for anti-competitive behaviour.

The only thing these companies care about is money. These fines need to have teeth to actually make them change.

Not to mention that we’ve been living in a business and economic environment where Fortune 500 companies have been getting it easy both ways. They’re able to work with impunity AND they lobby the hell out of governments to leave them alone.

This money could actually start to swing stuff towards the consumer again, rather than this new world where regular people seem to be fighting against the rich, corporations, and governments all at the same time. Although it could be said that those three entities are one and the same.

Fuck everyone else, you got yours, right?

FOH

Can it be played mostly single player?

I hate Illinois nazis

Yea what kind of privacy and amenities are provided?

Is this going to introduce “body tracking” similar to oculus hand tracking so it knows where the body is for it to become an AR wank? That’d be a game changer if VR wank.

Because a significant amount of our economy and daily life is predicated on filling it with superfluous crap. These ads are just a race for crap de jour.

What are they adding to these games to justify new DRM?

Or are they doing new “packs” and are adding new DRM to make it seem justifiable to get that game with a few others?

I just can’t see why they’re doing this now. Unless it’s something they think came make more money than they’ve just spent implementing new DRM.

I really hope all these commercial real estate entities sink into a deep hole.

They’ll try to blame people for not wanting to come into the office, but they need to die, the parasitic clowns they are.

He looks like someone started dating Bill Nye, then changed to Bill Nighy but messed up and crumpled it up and threw it away.

Beautiful! Thanks so much

There are a handful of features that I really like with qbittorrent but there were plugins I can’t find replacements for from Deluge:

• having items deleted after meeting seeding requirements, as *arr auto imports, but having exceptions for private trackers
• the above without having the *arr stack have a permanent warning
• auto adding public default trackers to any public torrent

I’ve switched back and forth a few times and I run them side by side but let deluge take the reins of most of it because I have it set up to be hands off with the above.

If anyone knows how I can set up qbt the same way that would be great though

“Disney had more or less trained audiences to expect big, hot Pixar content at home,” explained Brandon Katz, an entertainment industry strategist at Parrot Analytics.

I agree with the point but not necessarily the reason why.

Pixar movies used to be “can’t miss”. They were a cut above everything else, and incredibly unique. Now they’re just.. Disney Pixar. They’ve watered down so much of what made them great before.

And of course Disney is cutting staff due to lack of box office success without taking an inward look that their imprinting on the company might have something to do with its downfall.

I’m lucky enough that I have all three of the consoles, but PlayStation first party games have kept that one in use a ton more and I have bought games at out near launch.

Game pass is great for filling in the gaps but none of it hits as hard.

I had a lot of fun with Control but the narrative fell flat for me. It got to the point where I didn’t really care why I was running around and killing things anymore, I was just having fun doing it. Same for Alan Wake 1 for that matter. Was definitely invested in Max Payne 1-3 however.

For a game that made me break my own rules? I have been getting into more difficult games for a while, and Elden Ring was the one that started that a few years back. The deaths less frustrating as I learned not to just swing wildly as actually learn enemy moves and use dodge and parry effectively. After beating Elden Ring, making my way through most of Returnal, Bloodborne, beating a handful of other difficult games and rising to the challenge I was starting to “get it”.

Until Dead Cells. No matter how hard I tried I couldn’t translate that same strategy to 2D. I got far but found myself really spinning my tires after a while, then had to use assist after I got stuck, and my prior strategy of “leave it, come back later when you’re less frustrated” didn’t work several times in a row, but I really enjoyed the gameplay. I too had to use the assist mode for this one. It was just too difficult and I couldn’t get my head around it in 2D.

I think I blame my lack of experience with Metroidvanias. I never took to them, and though I played a lot of side scrollers, it’s a different, but similar, set of skills.

And yet that’s barely an accomplishment.

Just because stepping in a pile of shit is worse than stepping in a puddle doesn’t mean I should aim for every puddle I come across.

They’ve learned forgotten more lessons than they’ll ever remember.

In the last 10 years we still see these behaviours by way of:

• changing over to a subscription model for office then dropping support for older versions to basically force people to move to their new model, locking many prior VLSC or on-premises exchange features behind very high subscriptions
• after releasing the new version of the edge browser are now using their integration in their software suite to disregard the user’s default browser choice and open in edge anyway. Having to now go through an extra menu set to tell their software to respect the default browser set in the OS
• lying about Win 10 being the final version of windows only to turn around and add a TPM requirement which automatically disqualifies a significant amount of hardware from being able to upgrade

This is just three examples off the top of my head, respectively. We could talk about ads in a paid OS, constant nags to please pretty please use their browser, breaking prior software to integrate “new” versions that don’t add any user improvements but do add significant upgrades to telemetry and usage data, and so on.

Brave pushed affiliate links to users without consent. They’ve even more recently been installing VPN software without user permission.

For a “user, privacy-focused browser” they’re really missing the point.
