She is a little weird. IIRC, at some point she looks directly at the camera. And I always just assumed she was played by Fox, was she not? I didn't confirm.

Ah, as in it provides respect? And sounds like cash? I know, I know, dissecting jokes is a lot of fun.

I didn't find any references to "cache". That's the part I want to understand, what the significance of that part of the joke. Why "cache"?

I think because Gates famously can jump over a chair, which he has demonstrated several times on stage. As the result, Gates (now Windows) didn't learn to jump over his first chair and all hell broke loose.

Could you please explain? Now I'm curious.

To be fair, Fox also played his daughter in part 2 and his ancestor (Seamus?) in part 3, but rather briefly.

Oh, it had like an inventory functionality? I love Oblivion, but I obviously didn't get the armor and don't remember the details. I suspect it also provided defense for the horse? In that case it's almost approaching Assassin's Creed's "buy xp to skip grind" level of egregiousness, but still just a DLC.

It didn't start with horse armor. And even then, while clearly stupid, it wasn't egregious in the way modern mtx is. It was just a poorly priced optional cosmetic DLC. Modern mtx is a whole other beast, where companies use every psychological trick in the book to get people addicted to gambling.

The "graffiti" is funny, actually. They wrote АТБ which is a groceries chain in Ukraine, the equivalent of Russian Пятёрочка. That store is effectively renamed.

What truly blows my mind is the amount of requests the 1st party Reddit app sends home. Back when I was using Sync I still had the app installed, but then I set up AdguardHome and saw that my phone was spamming requests. Checked the logs and found out that the 1st party app, which I wasn't even using for months, was "phoning home" literally every 10 seconds! Besides privacy concerns, that can't be good for battery life. Nuked the app then and there. I'll take the nagging, thank you.

Max is like that player 001 from Squid Game, isn't he?

I think it's implied that the other muffin screams cause it's surprised by a talking muffin.

His haircut misses the pentagons though. Not regulation haircut.

As a european, fast food is just like a category of food, and more of an occasional treat for me. Normally, I just eat my own homemade food, which is even cheaper. So I guess I see it a little differently, and fast food is allowed to be not cheap if it's "good".

Hell yeah, gimme that cancer patty and those artery clogging fries, baby! But make the obesity water size "for kids".

Yes. And I think better make it obvious that votes aren't private, instead of people wrongly assuming that they are.

I still think it's just unfair. You can lookup votes and harass people only IF you know enough about computers. Anybody persistent enough to harass other people will put a little bit of work into being able to look up votes.

In addition, as we can see, this "semi-privacy" confuses a lot of people. Better that all users KNOW that their votes are visible, instead of them thinking they are private.

I was one of those people. But statistically, even the people who migrated from Reddit to here are not "normies". My "normie" friends (which is all of them 🥲) just kept on using Reddit and didn't notice anything. They weren't even using 3rd party apps.

Kinda same. I also have an Ubuntu homelab server, but I feel like I use my Steam Deck more often than I spend an occasional 3-day all-nighter to get something working on the server over SSH.

But my joke premise was obviously flawed anyway. We are supposed to be, but we clearly aren't.

And to address your point regarding votes being viewable only by admins, it's sort of pointless cause anybody can become an admin, just make your own instance. This just makes your statement to be "let only the more technically advanced people see the votes", which just makes it unfair.

I was really confused seeing this post, because I always assumed that Lemmy votes were public. Because how else are instances going to sync them? And indeed, the API exposes them completely, this change will just make it easier.

Then I was really confused when I saw so many comments being against it. A lot of "I'll leave if votes become public" in here. That's a lot of people who somehow assumed Lemmy was private. Aren't we all supposed to be Linux nerds in here?

If he at least ALSO had some other, non-sports games, then she might have let it slide. But only FIFA is a definite red flag.
