Live service and single player is not incompatible… Unfortunately…
Look at Hitman (2016 and forward), all require an online connection to play, and release new stuff monthly.
Many of Ubisofts games also require an online connection despite being fully single player, and you can even buy currency for the in-game single player shop with real money… What used to be a cheat code is now a microtransaction.
Yeah, there’s tonnes of good content on there, but as you allude to, there’s even more shitty or zero effort content… And the algorithm has a way of serving up absolute trash. And the parental controls are pretty much non existent…
Youtube happily serves up videos to an 8 year old (on a supervised children’s account) that contain topics like abuse, sex, racism, horror, radical religious indoctrination, Chinese propaganda, and human centipede… This isn’t as rampant in the YouTube Kids app… But at least half the stuff on YouTube Kids is ASMR content or unboxing “surprise” toys…
YouTube allows you to block channels, but will happily continue serving the 9000 other accounts that simply reupload the same exact videos.
Open-source EVs are a bit like Gentoo, you have to build it yourself.
Awesome to hear, and good luck with it!
I just want to mention that there is a lot of configuration options in Tree Style Tab, so if it doesn’t behave exactly how you want it to, there’s a high likelihood that you just need to tweak the settings a bit.
Fair, that is pretty awesome feature, especially for the tab sprawl in this day and age.
I (obviously) use Firefox, and I had the same problem, and found the “Tree Style Tab” extension solves the same problem for me, however it does it in a very different way.
Instead of having your tabs along the top of the window, your tabs are kept in a sidebar, and vertically. Opening new tabs from an already open page makes the new tabs nest under the original tab. You can collapse and expand whole trees of tabs, and move them around should you need to.
It also integrates nicely with the “Container Tabs” putting a colored band next to the tabs belonging to each container.
The tabs being vertical also means that you can always read the titles of the tabs, they don’t get “squished”.
It does cost a chunk of screen real estate, but for me the organization is worth it.
BTW: The extension doesn’t itself hide the tabbar at the top of the window, but that can be hidden with a relatively easy modification to a file.
What is Firefox lacking for you to love it?
Because there’s no such thing as private address spaces in IPv6.
If your ISP is IPv6 only, then you need to enable IPv6 for your local network too, which means that every device on your network gets an IPv6 address.
You can still have a private IPv4 as well, but if your remove the IPv6 support, then you lose access too the Internet.
Yeah, definition of “legitimate interest” is definitely being stretched well beyond it’s breaking point.
And it actually is… Quote from the GDPR:
It shall be as easy to withdraw as to give consent.
This seemed like the perfect opportunity to ask ChatGPT to write a Trump speech about being the best at making cheap shots. So here you go, straight copy paste from ChatGPT:
Ladies and gentlemen, let me tell you something. Nobody, and I mean nobody, can make cheap shots like I can. It’s tremendous, folks. People come up to me all the time and say, “Donald, how do you do it?” Well, it’s a talent, it really is. I’ve got the best cheap shots, believe me. Other people try, but they can’t even come close. I’ve been doing this for a long time, and nobody does it better than me. So, when it comes to making cheap shots, I’m the absolute best. Thank you, thank you very much.
Indeed!
Awesome! I actually downloaded Antenna Pod to compare, but I can’t seem to find this setting, could you point it out to me?
Completely fair, it it however worth mentioning that you can disable this data collection in settings.
This is exactly why I run Linux on all my computers, and run as much open-source software as I can, build my own home server, and set up my own home-automation. It does have a time cost, over convenience, but being able to tailor everything to my needs and wants is a wonderful feeling.
But yes, it would be wonderful if this was a more common mentality in software in general. Especially on mobile devices.
Podcast Addict is not quite as streamlined, but has many more features.
My favorite feature is the “Automatic Rewind” combined with “Incremental rewind”. It adds a rewind everytime you pause and resume an episode that increases the longer the podcast has been paused. It means that if I briefly pause, for example to respond to. Some one in real life talking to me, then it will automatically rewind 5 seconds when I start the podcast again, so I can hear the sentence I was in the middle of in full. But if I leave a podcast alone for a week, then it will rewind 1 minute so I can get fully back into the context of what I was listening to.
I’m not entirely sure… At the very least you would be able to immediately collect unemployment (~12.000 DKK if you don’t have kids, ~16.000 DKK if you have kids), and if you’re in an “a-kasse” you would be able to collect up to 90% of your old salary.
I’m pretty sure thought, that anyone who ran away with the bank account would pretty much have to leave the country, as otherwise they would be apprehended by police, personal belongings would be repossessed, and they would not be allowed to start a new business.
I see where you’re coming from, but if the company repeatedly holds back your salary, then the union can still start bankruptcy proceedings.
It is assumed that being late with paying wages might have been a mistake, and you don’t want to punish people or companies for a mistake.
You can’t really assume that people stealing money from a store is a mistake.
So let’s see… Here in Denmark:
If I steal the equivalent of $100 from a store, they will call the police, the police will apprehend me, take back the $100, and give me a fine. If the robbery seems to be professional, then it could also result in jail time up to 1 year and 6 months.
If my employer shorts my paycheck by the equivalent of $100, then I contact my union. The union contacts the company and tells the company to pay me within a week or two. If the company doesn’t pay me within the deadline, the union will declare the company bankrupt, and the bankruptcy proceedings start by liquidating the company and paying me my missing wages along with the guaranteed pay that relates to being fired, which depends on how long I have been employed. (1 month pay if I have been employed less than 6 months, 3 months pay if employed 6 months to 3 years, 4 months pay if employed for 3 to 6 years, 5 months pay if employed 6 to 9 years, and 6 months pay if employed more than 9 years.)
The GDPR does not in any way disallow Facebook from running ads, regardless of the users consent. But if the user doesn’t consent, Facebook can’t run targeted ads on the user.
SSD longevity seems to be better than HDDs overall. The limiting factor is how many write cycles the SSD can handle, but in most cases the write endurance is so high that it’s unreachable by most home/NAS systems.
SSDs are however really bad for cold storage, as they will lose the charge stored in their cells if left unpowered too long. When the SSD is powered it will automatically refresh the cells in the background to ensure they don’t lose their charge.
