Lootboxes are at least a conscious action you must take. They definitely have the same problems as gambling (because that's what they are), but you can also choose not to engage with them. Ads however, are forced upon you, and do things that you cannot see (track you) and cannot turn off.
I mean fair enough but in the context of indies trying to "hack the algorithm", you're probably not even a target because you don't even look at the Steam store.
When I was 11, an entire class of students and the biology professor were adamant that snakes do not have skeletons. I knew for a fact this was false because I had seen one at the museum.
It's not that amazing. To be a registrar, you have to pay $10k for the privilege, then pay for multiple audits that you must pass (if you fail them you do not get reimbursed), and then you get to profit like $2 per domain per year, and you have to maintain high availability server farms, pay for the electricity, pay for the sysadmins, pay for the audits every year etc
There's a reason Google stopped doing it after they got their .google tld
Either Seagate is doing it or all the retailers get them from the same source (which may not be Seagate) that is doing it or is contaminated by fulfillment pooling
It's quite lucid. The new thing uses a fraction of compute compared to the old thing for the same results, so Nvidia cards for example are going to be in way less demand.

Me too. My final reason to not go back to windows was that I realized I didn't actually really care for the games I played with restrictive anti cheat and was only playing them because they were popular.
Now I just play games that I consciously acknowledge I'm enjoying playing, and that has been great for mental health as well.
That virultotal report looks completely fine to me, including the behavior tab.
Regardless, imagine what would happen if the firefox pdf reader was vulnerable to a well-known attack (of course there probably exist 0 days but they wouldn't be burned on you). Any attacker could simply link you a PDF and you'd be infected simply for clicking the link? If this was true, people would stop using firefox because it would be insecure.
