You've got "Warez" wrong, it's explicitly (and always has been) pirated software.

I don't disagree, but what entities funds and guide/influence them? They aren't organizations acting on their own, they are puppets.

This does not in any way downplay the travesties that Palestinian people have been through, only to highlight how Iran has used their influence to control one side of the conflict.

Are they really allies if they're just an extension of yourself?

Do you have a "vices" budget? Maybe that's one approach. You both get $100 or whatever and she blows hers on mobile games, while you're cutting back and have money for other things.

Shut up, nerd! Let me have my gravitron

Sorry you're getting downvoted. I don't know if I agree with you, but back in the golden ages of Reddit the rule was don't downvote because you disagree, downvote because it's a shit comment. I don't think your comment was shit... I think we've brought way too much of modern reddit to lemmy.

I was about to comment that I lived in Oakland for 5 years and it really isn't that bad. Like any city, it has its bad parts that you need to avoid. But you cleared it up.

a large part of east Oakland

A large part of east Oakland is bad. Luckily, it's easy to avoid... but not if you already live there.

A few things:

• Many (most?) ratings these days are self-assessed by the developer/publisher.
• The review process has been heavily streamlined through IARC, so you can effectively get ESRB/PEGI/etc simultaneously. Governmental ratings (like GRAC in South Korea) still require you go through the government agency -- but some stores like Epic or Oculus can effectively do this for you -- and even then it's still self-assessed.
• Some of the storefronts offer help with ratings, in a way doing what a publisher would do, if you self-publish. You take a quiz to determine ratings and ask questions before the rating boards even know you exist.
• Ratings boards don't typically play the game. Sample screenshots and descriptions can be included in some submissions, especially if there's a grey area or the submitter is inexperienced, but it's often just apply and get your cert.

I know nothing about Spain's political parties, and I'm personally not a fan of conservative parties, but just to point out the obvious:

abled supremacy

The whole reason this thread and news article exists seems to refute that. I know it's only one data point, but the situation is notable on a global scale.

not exactly, there was an ancestor who may have been Trump or Drumpft.

From his grandfather's wikipedia entry:

Trump's earliest known male ancestor is Johann Philipp Drumpft or Trump (1667–1707, parents or place of birth not recorded), who married Juliana Maria Rodenroth.

I tried it earlier this year and it was nice, but lack of automatic transaction importing was a deal-breaker for me. It's so tedious to go through all of your various accounts and run exports, especially considering just how shitty most bank/credit/etc UIs are.

They've been off and on working on or talking about Plaid support, which would probably solve all or most of my complaints (so I'm following the GitHub thread to get notifications): https://github.com/actualbudget/actual/issues/898

I keep my docker container updated and every few months take a peak to see if there are any notable improvements, but not really going to touch it until that feature gets added.

You should watch it if you haven't! It's one of their best eps. They even got together to do a Rifftrax version of it live in theaters.

Do you mean Manos: The Hands of Fate?

MST3K made it famous in what is probably one of their best episodes.

A Shield TV is probably overkill for you and the recommendations of a pi would do just fine, but if it's in budget I say go for the Shield TV. Mine is nearly 8 years old and I haven't had a single issue, streams 4k HDR, and runs so much better than any of the crap that comes with even the newest of TVs.

If they're not technical and you don't feel like playing family help desk, you can't go wrong with either synology or qnap. The downside with them is the hardware is just barely powerful enough for a NAS. If they start to get into self-hosting at all -- pihole, home-assistant, minecraft servers, jellyfin, etc -- they'll quickly run into limitations.

If they're somewhat technical but not a Linux guru, I'd add Unraid (slackware based, but 100% UI-driven) to the list. I've been running it for years and it's been great. It makes running docker/VM a breeze on top of the hardware-agnostic setup of mixed drives that makes upgrading slowly over time painless.

I run Arch btw

I don't know if you were trying to be funny but that got a smirk out of me.

HDRP will be coming to mobile

we should really update this to "After when some people thought Jesus was born but they fucked up by 4-6 years. Also why is there no year zero?"

AWSPTJWBBTFUB4YAWITNYZ doesn't really roll off the tongue, though. Maybe it's better if someone can translate that into Latin.

while I appreciate everyone naming their favorite companies, this is the only real answer to the question. It doesn't matter at all which registrar you use, it's about brand recognition, support, add-on services, and cost.

[source: friend founded his own (now defunct) registrar and I would help out. Even when a registrar goes out of business there's no real risk, as there are plans in place to hand off customers to other sites]
