To be fair, before all this nonsense, this is what made Twitter unique and important. Twitter was the one way through social media "the average Joe" could be heard on the public stage. No normal person is getting time on the news.
Because of its short format the message had to be simple and concise, which made it special in the social media space. Someone saying something about a current event and then the "semi-democratization" process of being shared and liked or whatever the mechanism was (never was a user), and that message then making it into the news media, was a good thing. It actually was an opportunity for normal people to have a voice. And not just for Americans but for people in other countries who have even less of a voice.
Which is why the current events are so ironic, all of that being ruined, in the name of the billionaire morons claim of "free speech platform." He couldn't even see the perspective I'm coming from because he has a path to the public stage.
If every human had to learn from step one we'd never progress. Taking lessons from past experiences is valid in many ways. The alternate side of that is many humans must make their own mistakes to learn those lessons. It's why we rarely listen to our parents. And unfortunately many humans require a group to belong to, as our evolutionary history required the social collective to survive. Which is why religion has been so powerful, especially once the con men realized they could use that "flaw" in human evolution to manipulate people. So for sure we should always be skeptical about being led by others. But I'm afraid the "concept" of religion (groupthink) will likely never go away - it's a huge part of what makes us social creatures. But I absolutely agree that "religion" as a generalization is fucked.
Right, to elaborate run a packet capture and monitor the IPs your system connects to when installing and playing the game.
Never use a web browser with email or any other access to online accounts, clear all cookies after each browsing session.
I'd argue have a separate boot drive with absolutely nothing stored, nothing critical, no cookies, it's single use of getting the games and hell, probably even run a VPN while playing the games so no tracing back to ISP public IP.
Maybe times have changed but when I was in the warez scene 25+ years ago and essentially pirated every game I played, I saved all those games and the keygen.exe files and when they get scanned by modern AV they all come back infected. If anything it's different because viruses are pointless now with the internet and there are much broader malware injection points nowadays than the minimal game pirating scene. But yeah I don't know what I'm talking about, just my historical POV.
Fuck apple beyond words for creating a bully situation with children because of their fucked UX design and unwillingness to simply release their own iMessage app for android.
Tell me you have no Internet data cap? Because cloud gaming will go nowhere until we go back to no ISP data caps.... (Which won't happen with the engrained cable providers)
I have the opposite experience. I easily can have as many tabs at times and I've seen chrome use over 10gb of ram and fully lock at times. I switched to Firefox for that reason and others and it performs much better with that many tabs open. Most ram I've seen it using is about 6gb. Minimal and equivalent plugins in both. I've never had firefox crash. This across multiple computers. I now have uninstalled chrome everywhere...
