Yep. That's $1.04b taken from the pockets mostly people who should be trying to put it to savings, not giving away money on a pipedream. Giving it to a winner who statistically will likely have their life ruined by such a windfall.
It's goddam stupid. The "causes" the lottery pays back to, like education, should be funded by taxing those who don't need the extra money, not by duping people who desperately need every dollar they earn.
I really doubt this is the primary reason. I think it was multifaceted, but really the people in the business of designing phones were already using Bluetooth exclusively and felt that it was good enough. Some designs probably rushed it as a means to sell more premium headsets (Apple, Samsung), other saw it as removing an unnecessary redundant feature that was more prone to breakage and a waterproofing difficulty (Google). I think it really just came down to the personal preferences of the (affluent) people who were doing the designing, not necessarily a purposeful cash grab. It really was not great since wired headphones were way cheaper than their Bluetooth counterparts. Luckily Bluetooth has gotten much better and less expensive. I think there should be options for both.
I think it's visible on the controller settings menu. I also had to go looking for it. The sneaking thing is used so frequently that doing it by hand almost caused me to switch over to using my PC entirely.
Is Feedly still a thing and okay? I remember it being the stopgap between Google Reader and Reddit, however I'm not sure where it lies on the "free version is good enough" vs "completely gimped free version and the real product is the paid one"
What is Reddit if not a glorified collection of RSS feeds with comments?
I went from Google Reader to Reddit. It scratched very much the same itch. I remember having quite the curated list of RSS feeds subscribed to. Still pissed that Google killed it.
"normal no sex before marriage and gays aren't real stuff"
While it might not be first in the list of things that Mormons should be demonized for, it's still very much an issue and is on the list. It should 100% be called out and they should be shamed for it. Just because other churches are assholes too doesn't mean we shouldn't talk about it.
Exactly. This is about protecting themselves from legal liability, not anything else. As the guy who hosts it is just a regular guy, not a corporation with limited liability/tons of startup dollarbucks, I don't begrudge him/them at all.
I want a tool that can do the same thing for whole communities. Seems like there might be a day where communities would like to migrate for one reason or another. While you could simply stand up a new community on the new instance and then attempt to get everyone to move over, that's bound to fail if the community is large enough. It would be cool if subscribership would also be able to be moved in the back-end.
Yeah, I agree. I want this game to be a success because of that stance. Such a breath of fresh air.
I guess the question is...can my life support going on a Baldurs Gate 3 binge right now, lol. Because that's 95% for sure what will happen if I load it up on the deck.
It's not even for during game time, it's during warmups. It affects nothing allowing whatever tape (or jerseys) they want.
