Nearly every country has strong Anti-CSAM laws on the book which require reporting known distribution. I don't think that's a bad thing.

Their publisher also expected the game to have about one-tenth of the actual players. I don't think anyone knew how big it would be.

The $5M also refers to what they thought Larian would want for it to be included on Game Pass.

The universe was big enough for the dinosaurs ☹️

It was doomed from the start for that very reason. Why would people spend $60 on games if they didn't think they would be able to play them in a year?

Especially on the first days - driver bugs, enable/disable features, QoL fixes, etc.

Same with my printer.

On Linux, I had to configure CUPS. This meant finding out which of the 30+ different drivers for my printer model actually worked. Then it meant determining which of the dozen or so different "devices" would actually work. And until I got it working correctly, it randomly crashed.

There are plenty of things Linux is better at but it isn't that great at handling standard devices with any ease. I'm sure that I can do a lot more now with the Linux driver, but sometimes I just want to tell my computer that's my printer and I just want this printed.

WEI has a lot of issues and should not ever be implemented, but it's not going to stop you from using ad blockers, nor could it be made to do so.

The issues with it are that it makes it much easier to individually track users and it will make it nearly impossible for new browsers to gain traction.

"Look at this nice chunk of meat I have!"

"Ooh, that would be great to baste, season, and grill. I bet it would be delicious?"

"Eh, it's easier just to throw it in a pot of water."

Police officers don't get elected, but the sheriffs do. I think this is mostly a holdover from when the only real law within a hundred miles of a town was the sheriff.

I do agree that electing judges is odd. My state doesn't even allow us to vote on electing them anymore, but just on retaining them in office. I've always voted "No" just because I don't think it's appropriate.

Now if you want to get really weird, most areas also elect their coroner and there usually is no skill or education requirement to be elected.

Those plans usually have a more limited network and a higher out of network charge, though.

My work subsidizes both our CCHP and PPO at exactly the same amount. They've made it clear that it's almost always cheaper to go with the CCHP no matter how much healthcare you need in a given year.

That's what SCOTUS seems to miss. Their entire power comes from the belief in their authority. If Congress or the Executive Branch chose to ignore their ruling, they can't do anything.

The danger with the Supreme Court was never that they would make awful rulings that we'd follow. It was that they would make rulings so awful that we'd have little choice but to reject their authority, creating a system without the checks of the court.

I was going on some interviews during the 2016 election. One of them had the news on and they were talking about something Trump said. I remember remarking that every time something like that comes up, I assume they must be exaggerating, but each time it's exactly what he said and meant.

I definitely thought it was safe to say that at the time because there was no way that Trump would be elected.

Windows has a built-in SSH client that you can use in Windows Terminal. 

You may need to enable it before using it, depending on the version you originally installed. They've even had a built-in SSH server since W10 build 1809.

You sure she didn't mean North Dakota?

Because same. I'm still convinced that it's fake.

That's not true in the slightest.

The highest estimate for US emigrants is 9 million. Since there's no perfect way to track emigrants, the Dept of State uses available numbers from multiple sources and extrapolates it. The UN puts their estimate at about 3 million, but their data comes from censuses which can be inaccurate or non-existent.

Pew puts the number of college or postgraduate educated immigrants at about 13 million.

Even if we assume all of the emigrants are highly educated, we still have a net positive educated immigration.

There are a lot of good reasons to dislike the US, but we have always been pretty good about bringing in educated individuals.

Yep, this feels like a temporary change until things get fixed.

The formula is basically:

• Michael wants to investigate his main mission for the season
• Someone wants him to do something else instead
• He chooses to do the other thing
• Final thirty seconds of the episode is the main mission

Exceptions for the last episode or two of each season where he actually does focus on the mission.

Windows ships with SSH.

Sure, blame the IDE.

A large issue is that what would be one subreddit is now a dozen different communities. What would fix this is allowing communities to "federate".

Let's say you had news@europe.site and europenews@lemmy.site.

The mods could have the option to consolidate with each other. Each would have to agree to the move and could revoke that access at any time. If one instance goes down, the other still retains their posts. Both of them would still exist on their own, but anything made on one would automatically be published on the other.

This could have multiple levels.

At the most basic, posts are just automatically brought over between each community. The mods can take action that only affects their local instance.

You can then add an option to federate with the other community and any community they federate with. Mods are presented with options to disallow some of those communities if they choose.

Each community can then set moderation levels and permissions. There could be an option to retain moderation on federated posts made on the other instance for their local posts. IE if europenews@lemmy.site removes a post made on europenews@lemmy.site, news@europe.site can choose to have it removed there.

You can also choose to grant full mod powers to other communities. So if europenews@lemmy.site removes any post, even one made on news@europe.site, it would automatically be removed from news@europe.site.

This would alleviate the fractures caused by multiple communities without losing the benefits of federation.
