PC gaming didn't used to be THIS expensive.

You could build an entire machine for the cost of a 4090.

I mean, this was also before video cards cost as much as some used cars or more than a month's rent for some people.

Going forward, BMW says it will continue to offer subscription-based services but only for software options, like driver assistance and digital assistant services, which is completely understandable.

The fuck it is. You offer car features at time of sale. And if you want me to like your brand, at best you offer OTA or wifi updating for free to enhance the experience, and make me want to buy your next car.

You try and nickel and dime me for shit technology that has been around for 20 years, and I could give two fucks. I'll plug in my phone, ignore your entire. Infotainment and actively campaign for it to fail and blow up in your face.

Honestly I want to see Google on trial for their adsense business.

Google search is basically a lock-in service now, which is integrated into a massive browser project, an entire OS used by governments for education, and as the #1 option in competing systems due to sponsorships. Search itself though is awful, and if people were more aware of options maybe we'd see more improvement.

Google trying to profile users and alter their search results for "engagement" is one of the worst things to have ever happen on the internet. Facebook and others doing the same was following suit.

Review written by someone not familiar with the originals clearly. Which would be fine if they didn't compare back to it constantly.

The problem with the Bebop adaptation was it needlessly changed pretty core things about the characters, and rewrote the ending entirely. It totally changed a bunch of the themes as a result. So you had something wearing Bebop's skin, but it moved all wrong.

The One Piece adaptation seems to at least get that part right.. But it is ultimately a cartoon plot, a lot of the motivations and story aren't that complex. That doesn't work for everyone, and clearly not for the reviewer. But we'll have to see how the wider audience reacts.

The visual design of their game world looks like it tried to replicate "stock asset" in blender. Everything feels devoid of any real artistic intent. So it feels overwhelmingly shiny and chrome and just bland. That's just based on visuals, but I legitimately confused this with the other God's of whatever title from 6-8 months ago.

I mean, out the gate Firefox will import a huge chunk of that. Like, literally everything you listed.

You should install it and try.

That said, I will echo others that getting setup with something like KeePass is worthwhile. You set it up, add a browser extension to connect to it l, and now the passwords are REALLY secure and not limited to your browser and much more complex functions are available to you if you want to nerd out.

The article is clickbait. The margins of range for "near miss" is enormous to ensure such things don't happen. A "near miss" is usually still miles and miles apart, and only registers because two flights may be at the same altitude to avoid weather.

I mean, what can you do, short of demolishing and rebuilding communities for free to spread them out and lessen risk. Even that only manages it, and it would still all burn when wildfires hit.

Stopping the source and quelling the yearly rise of temperatures that is making it a concern to begin with is the only actual solution.

Funko Pops are mostly ugly as hell imo. They try to capture a cute big headed aesthetic but went too far on the blocky noggins. I dislike how it makes the vast, overwhelming majority of characters look when rendered this way.

Nendroids are doing this same concept but infinitely better, with stands and articulation. And less ghastly proportions. That said, Nendroids are mostly limited to weeb shit, while anything under the fucking sun gets a funko pop because there is 0 design effort made.

I've gotten one as a gift, and it's fine. But they absolutely are Beanie Babies. It's not even a question.

Edit: collecting this shit is dumb anyways. Take shit out of the box and pose it!

Yes. Because Microsoft lost an entire gigantic anti-trust case over building the Browser into the OS.

Of course it loaded faster when MS poisoning the well of open web standards with embrace and extend.

And we have the records to prove this.

Thank you. Also recommend adding a copy of this inside of the settings menu. I did not see you had added this until another commenter pointed it out post-update.

Thank you. This update went live after my comment.

The app does not have this under settings. I jumped straight into settings expecting of course that is where it must live, and the Ultra subscription does (and also mentions ads)

However as you said, there is a no ads unlock on the initial drop down for $20.

I'm gonna send that as feedback.

What a horseshit excuse: add 6 screws on your backplate, give it a frame with center glass, add a grommet. Give a torque setting for the screws to have a good seal in your instructions. L

Done.

Samsung did this shit years ago in a phone with a replaceable plastic back.

The base features include injecting ads into the site. So you at minimum have to pay for the app to not make your experience shitty.

And what defines an extra feature?

A hundred bucks for a reader app is a fucking lot.

Yo I just checked this.

A hundred fucking dollars?

Jesus christ, lemmy is still in a fledgling state compared to reddit i don't care if you designed the most perfect app known to man, this is some insane overvaluation.

Mali. The country of Mali.

I believe the top level domain, the .ML was reclaimed by the country of Mali recently, who own it. It was just bad luck.

I saw that a bit later. Now it's a question of Sync vs jerboa and connect and the others. I've used sync before and it's excellent. And I bought Relay for Reddit in the past.

I think for me the first that has a mark read on scroll and a floating dismiss (not hide) read posts button, is gonna be my winner. That was the feature that I loved on Relay.

Connect isn't charging a subscription or lifetime purchase cost. Or injecting ads.
