No, they didn't. They explicitly said that you're free to not upgrade for now in the announcement.

They have a section in their TOS that says they can block you from using the printer if you don't upgrade, which sucks, but that is a generic clause, doesn't mean they'll make use of that here, and from their communication I don't suspect they will, at least for the time being.

I was referring to the "humanity will learn to stop electing Republicans" part, saying it's optimistic to expect them to ever do that regardless of what terrible things happen

That's optimistic

I suspect the reasoning for it was more along the lines of "if you're pasting the password, that means you probably saved it in a text file on your desktop or something, and you shouldn't do that so let's stop you from doing it". In reality, it probably didn't work to make anyone store passwords more securely, and only made life unnecessarily harder for people with password managers

not a common feature in proprietary software

Just so you know, the GDPR mandates that you can at any time get a full export of all your personal data from anyone who's processing it in a common, machine readable format. It is laudable though to have that integrated as a feature in the software, rather than jumping through hoops contacting support etc.

If you have a USB C to C cable handy, that's also going to work to charge other devices, loses less power to the transfer, is quicker, and also more convenient since you can keep using both phones. Of course you'll often not have a cable, but if you do it's probably gonna be the better option

Why not simply say donation

It's about setting expectations. The wording is chosen because they believe that paying open source developers for their work should be the norm, not the exception. Calling it a donation would not do that justice. Their wording is saying "Here's the software, we'll trust you to pay us for it if it brings you value and you can afford it". It's an explicit expectation to pay, unless you have good reasons not to, which is also fine but should be the exception. Whereas a donation is very much optional and not the default expectation by nature.

In the end it's just a semantic difference, it's just all about making expectations clear even if there is no enforcement around them.

this tells me nothing about what the game will look like, or run like

I mean... This was the first trailer to stir up a bit of excitement for a game that has only just entered full-scale development. They probably don't even yet know themselves what it will look like and how it will run on what hardware. Expecting that kind of info at this point is unrealistic

You're an ex British colony?

I agree that this way of displaying the data is appropriate, but it would be nice to have a very visible indicator of this. Some kind of highlighted "fold" line or something at the very bottom of the chart, maybe. If I can deduce the units from context, and the trend is more interesting than absolute numbers, then I'm not going to look at the axes most of the time

That quote is not from the first one though, it's from the second one

The original Steam controller worked without Steam running, even including some of the extra features like mouse and scrolling functions for the trackpads if you wanted it to. So here's hoping

having added cookies, there must be a setting to only optionally store the cookies

Setting aside that this feature wouldn't even need cookies, that's not how it works. Functional cookies that aren't used for tracking don't need any user information or consent, even under GDPR.

Why would i bother with player-specific volume controls when my OS' volume controls are right there, easier to access and work the same across anything I'm doing?

Edit: being downvoted for asking a question, cool

Pineapple is pretty common in curries, the jump to apples and raisins isn't that far tbh

Meanwhile most passenger trains in Germany are double-headed. They have only one locomotive, but the last wagon also has a driver's cabin so the locomotive can push the train while still being controlled from the front

One country cozying up to Putin is hardly a reason to call the entire EU divided

Oh that would also make sense, yeah

I suspect that's deliberate to make someone that speaks English and doesn't know German still get the correct impression of what it actually sounds like, rather than get the spelling right

it means you're getting fucked by them and not in a good way

So anal sex is a not-good way to have sex? Yeah sorry but that does sound pretty homophobic to me.

without lube

Ah, well that changes things. Anal without lube is a pretty universally bad experience, so sure, use that. But just framing being the receiving end of anal as bad without further context, we can do better than that, that's all im saying
