I’m no gun person, but you could easily make a gun on a lathe or a mill drill, too. Get a CNC one and you don’t even need to know how to use them.
Are we going to start fitting them with “you might be making a gun” detectors, too? Of course not.
Edit: Turns out they are… I choose to blame my ignorance on the paywall.
“not in accordance with procedure” means “you shouldn’t have got caught”.
“How dare you steal what we already stole.”
…I’m not really sure why they care. In 99% of cases, there’s only one extra season to watch anyway because Netflix cancelled the fucking show.
Yes, I’m still salty about Santa Clarita Diet, why do you ask?
I agree, but we can’t really expect every person to have the space to store all of their favourite media. Especially now that AI has ruined the price of hard drives.
Given modern internet speeds, the ability to delete and redownload games is actually a handy feature of digital. Though given Sony’s track record of deleting “purchased” media from customers’ accounts, I sure as shit wouldn’t trust them. Hell, I barely trust Steam.
…that’s quite literally the reason they’re pushing it so hard.
Hopefully this will be the push I need to quit Reddit.
Let’s just say that an archive of Penthouse Pet pictorials in the age before internet video was an absolute goldmine for 12-year-old me.
I wonder how many “users rejecting Windows 11” are people who refuse to replace perfectly good hardware just because it doesn’t meet Windows 11’s arbitrary requirements.
The same horribly addictive cesspool it always was, really.
I think a lot of PC users are spoiled, to be perfectly honest.
My work PC is an ancient micro Lenovo thing with a Skylake processor and 8GB of RAM, and it runs Windows 11 perfectly adequately. I generally need about 10 Firefox tabs open, as well as various other programs, and the only issue I find is that new Excel instances take a while to load - everything else feels perfectly reasonable. Don’t tell anybody at work, but it even managed to play World of Warcraft at low graphics at the same time.
Not that this is a defence of Microsoft.
Lemmy feels pretty welcoming to me, but maybe that’s because I’m used to Reddit.
I wish I remember what young me used to do. What he used to wish he had the money to do. All that sort of stuff.
Because now pretty much all I do is work, scroll Reddit, and watch Youtube.
Why were you close enough to him that he knew about your affairs in the first place?
I meant it more as a general thing - I should have said “we” instead.
They actually seem pretty chill about it here in New Zealand. My dad and I had one ISP notice in the early 2000s, but I’ve downloaded absolutely shitloads since and we haven’t heard a peep.
Nowadays I tend to use Usenet anyway; the speed of even the healthiest torrents pales in comparison.
It’s been going on a long time. Penny Arcade coined the Greater Internet Fuckwad Theory in 2004.
The worst part (maybe the second worst after all the slop poisoning the internet nowadays) is the proof that copyright law is only for us poors.
I download a copyrighted work and get a strongly worded letter from my ISP, or worse. They download all the copyrighted works; scrape the data from them; and charge for the ability to use said data to make derivative, non-transformative slop; and get fabulously wealthy from it.
I pretty much just use it because my friends use it. Voice chat, screen sharing, and text chat are all generally really good (though I’m not a member of any massive servers which I imagine would make the text chat a lot worse). If my friends swapped to something else, I’d go with them and never use Discord again.
It looks okay, but the actual UX isn’t very good. Simple things like DMing a friend, or making/accepting a friend request are way more arcane than they should be.
I guess I can’t really blame Discord itself, but I hate that it killed forums. Its lack of searchability makes it almost completely useless at doing what forums used to do, but almost everybody migrated anyway.
I know. I meant relative to using a manual machine.
You could make the same argument for 3D printers.
