  • This assumes a) passwords, and b) poor passwords at that.

    Passphrases are easy to remember, extremely hard to crack, and easily customisable for every site, and you don't need no fucking password manager to store them.

    Though I'll give you this: password managers are not, after all, necessarily single points of failure.

    If you need a password manager to manage your passwords you're a much more vulnerable point of failure than your password management bloatware itself.

  • “Does it have denuvo (or any other form of malware, including microtransactions)” should be the first question.

    If the answer is yes, never look at it again, and permanently blacklist both developer and publisher.

    If the answer is no, then go on with the rest of the diagram.

  • In my case they're facing a 100% revenue reduction regardless of when (or whether) it's cracked.

    I'm never going to buy denuvo infested malware, and developers and publishers who try to pull this shit go straight into the blacklist.

  • Albion voted to go fuck itself, so speaking as an European it should go and do that, until it votes to come crawling back and passes a looong vetting process (and this time no weird money, and we get to set the colour of the passports, even though every other member can choose theirs freely).

  • Eh, I'm more into tentacles and whatnot.

    Still, we were talking about seeing stuff by default, not by looking it up.

    And the thing about Lemmy and having to look up stuff that you don't see by default is that once you find it it turns out to be the same dozen or so posts you found the last time you looked. And the previous one. And the one before.

    In the most tragic cases you can see a user posting stuff for a week or two around the time of the Reddit API exodus, hoping to attract other lemmings interested in the same stuff so they'd post their own... and slowly losing hope until they stop. It's fucking sad.

    Don't get me wrong, Lemmy is still far better than Reddit is now, and orders of magnitude more alive if you don't count the bots (Reddit is more alive in the sense that a decomposing corpse full of maggots is more full of life than the poor critter was before dying, except the maggots are bots, which aren't alive at all), but it's far from what Reddit was before it killed itself, let alone when when it was good.

    Also, holy necromancy Batman... this thread was about a month old..!

  • recently released western cartoon that wasn't Disney or aimed at the under 6 crowd

    Invincible, Arcane, Hazbin Hotel, The Legend of Vox Machina, Solar Opposites, The Boys presents: Diabolical, Krapopolis, Castlevania, Blue Eye Samurai, Star Trek: Lower Decks... and I'm sure I'm missing plenty (I intentionally left out anything by DC since you'd probably put them in the same bag as Marvel).

    Frankly, adult western cartoons are probably more popular (and much higher quality) now than they've ever been before...

  • Granny Weatherwax, Nanny Ogg, Tiffany Aching.

    About half the cast of Fullmetal Alchemist (Olivier Mira Armstrong, Izumi Curtis, Riza Hawkeye, Winry and Pinako Rockbell, Lan Fan, Mai Chang, Chris Mustang... and I'm sure I'm missing some).

    Oh, and friggin' Chell, of course. Makes you almost feel sorry for GLaDOS.

  • That's a good rule of thumb... but it's probably not enough; no reasonable definition would call Jupiter a star, or even a brown dwarf, or the Solar System a binary system, yet the Sol - Jupiter barycentre is outside the sun... (the whole system's barycentre is sometimes inside the sun, but that's due to Saturn's, Uranus', and Neptune's pulls cancelling Jupiter's).

    I'd call the barycentre thing a necessary but not sufficient requirement; a proper definition of double planet should probably also take into account other factors like the relative mass and density of the bodies, and their minimum and maximum distance.

  • It's worth noting that most extinct dinosaurs were probably more similar to surviving ones (i.e., birds) than to mammals and reptiles when it comes to bones and respiratory systems, and, by extension, density.

    That is to say, they probably could get that big because they were quite literally full of air.
    Some of them (especially sauropods, but maybe also other big species like tyrannosaurs) probably had even more complex and efficient air sac systems than modern birds...

  • 24th out of 102 should not be considered “dumber than average”.

    Isn't, by definition, a score of 100 in the test supposed to be average..? If so, 98 would definitely be below average, though not by much.
