No, what you said is objectively bullshit.

It is. But if your input is the equivalent of vocal diarrhea, I'm not sure why you are surprised that people find it smells like shit.

Studies show that ligatures improve readability, but I acknowledge that it's likely untrue for outliers.

Not sure about the ads? If you mean when the app notifies you about live gigs etc. then yeah, that's shittification. Luckily it doesn't happen on my desk or car, but I wish it didn't sometimes appear on my phone. That's the one thing that might push me to add music to my video streaming arr stack.

None of these have good app support compared to Spotify, sadly. Not supported by my car, nor my Linux desktop, or home speakers.

Oh and Deezer pays even less to artists than Spotify.

I mean, Spotify is a great service for the consumer. One reasonable monthly fee for most of the music in the world.

If a similar video streaming service existed for 40€/month, I'd pay for it in a heartbeat. Now I have a plethora of arr apps and a vpn, and Plex. But it's a hassle sometimes.

We're all aware of the issues it created for the artists, and I'd be willing to double the fee if that money directly went to the artists, but this is where the capitalist model fails, as that won't maximize the profits for shareholders.

If we ever come up with a way to fix the underlying greed models that come with publicly traded companies, that would be great.

As it stands, it is what it is, but I'm glad we have this, instead of a "different Spotify per music publisher".

Do you also get surprised when you backspace a tab and suddenly it removes more whitespace than 1 characters worth?

Or did you learn it fast and really never think about it?

I think it's more a "getting used to" thing, that once learned, you don't think about, but it makes things more readable.

I mean, we read code more than we write it. You just vomitted over something that increases readability. Maybe a time for a rethink?

The PS5, and yeah still unreleased, but already driving prototypes out in the wild. They are using the companys tech mentioned in the article and hopefully we'll see widespread adoption after testing.

I'm usually sceptic, but for once these new battery inventions are actually already implemented, and not just on paper or in a lab.

Polestar has already equipped vehicles with this tech.

I think there's a difference between distributed and decentralised. But apart from that 👍

I'm in the same boat. I'm a paid Bitwarden user but I'd like to keep 2fa and passwords separated.

If no alternative soon, i'll just bite the bullet and put everything in bitwarden (except itself, ofc)

It's Match Making isn't peer to peer, and requires a connection, though. I'd reckon the playerbase to wither quickly without Valve servers and/or Steam friend list, even though technically possible, and a 3rd party could devise a system of finding players.

It is a possibility for sure, but HD1 is still going after 8 years, and because AH doesn't host the gameplay servers, I reckon the server costs aren't excessive.

L4D2 is 15 years also, and still going, and still played. I hope and trust HD2 will be up long time.

Spear isn't in a good place, but it works after you learn its kinks. I wish they made the locking work better and added a range indicator when you are aiming it too close, so you know why it's not locking in that case.

That was true when it launched, but past month I've had 0 crashing in about 100 hours of gametime. It was unfortunate, but it's not filled to brim with bugs, unless you're referring to the Terminids 😄

You are wrong, and you should be ashamed of yourself for accusing people without any proof. If you really believe everyone who praises the game to be shills, then you're also deluded.

I've 250 hours in, and loving the game. Sure it's starting to lose the appeal slowly after this long in, but I sure as hell got my 40€ worth, and I know me and friends will return to have fun with it periodically, similarly to L4D2. The gameplay loop is just that good.

Considering Helldivers 1 just finished it's 135th War cycle, I'm not particularly afraid about an expitation date from the DM/online play side. Heck, I'd imagine when Arrowhead finally pulla the plug on HD1, they'll likely update it so it works offline.

And the gameplay portion kinda already does.

There's a system over at Nova Discord where we reply to polls about the new features, we're basically guinea pigs trying out stuff Branch is going to push out via their deals with OEMs. That's how I've understood it.

There is no bytes being sent out with the beta, and replying in Discord is voluntary, obviously.
