I feel like this deserves a diagram

otp ,

Arrogance and misplaced rage aren’t anything to be proud of, either.

Your argument is pretty much a slippery slope argument, which is how we get things like people trying to ban gay marriage.

I used Backlogery, but Backloggd seems to be more popular nowadays. That forum discussion mentions a few others, too.

If you play retro games, then you could also look into RetroAchievements, which will track more than when you simply beat a game. Unfortunately, it doesn’t work for all games though.

For more modern games, you could also use Achievements to track what you beat.

As for keeping track of what games you WANT to play… it’s called buying them! Don’t buy games you don’t want to play, haha

Seriously though, you could go through your Steam library and add games you want to play to a playlist, or sell physical games you wanted to support but don’t want to play.

But for multi-platform stuff, check out the linked forum post

otp ,

Unfortunately.

Is this a question?

Woah, meta.

Yes, it is.

This is not a question, though.

Based on the rest of the comment, I think they were referring to how often members of the Israeli military defy orders.

otp ,

And terrorism must be defeated.

I agree. Israel must be stopped.

otp ,

Yet I still add “Reddit” to a search query when looking for product reviews or technical/home maintenance support, lol

I can do it really well manually…but Google’s AI sucks at it.

They forgot to account for trolls…and how often trolls would get upvoted for the lulz

otp ,

I know it’s not “intelligent”, but I don’t get gatekeeping the phrase “AI”.

We were perfectly happy to use “AI” to refer to the logic of computer-controlled enemies in video games for probably decades.

I think some jurisdictions count it as rape if the victim consented under certain circumstances, but the rapist changed those circumstances.

Like consenting to sex with a condom on, but the rapist removes the condom and continues.

The price of rented accommodation in the United States is up 26% since the early 2020s

The best part is that it’s still the early 2020s…

Exciting New Trailer Released For Gex Trilogy | Retro Gaming News 24/7 (www.retronews.com)

A new trailer for the Gex Trilogy has been released, featuring all three console games developed by Crystal Dynamics. The collection includes Gex, Gex: Enter the Gecko, and Gex 3: Deep Cover Gecko, starring the anthropomorphic gecko protagonist. Pre-orders are set to begin in autumn 2024 with availability on Nintendo Switch,...

otp ,

The 2D game is pretty fun, imo

otp ,

I think it’s silly too, but isn’t this a bit insensitive? People died. It is their own fault for making bad decisions in this situation, but they still died.

It’s also a lot easier to choose not to be Muslim when your entire family and maybe your entire support group isn’t Muslim. Hell, how many of those people who died came from countries where it’s basically required by law to be Muslim?

otp ,

What I said was “basically required by law to be Muslim”, not required by state law to do the Hajj

otp ,

ftr; also atheist, but decided not to be insensitive today, lol

otp ,

But you should know who you could grow to be.

otp ,

Don’t restrict yourself with a fixed mindset.

Growth mindset. You could be better. Always.

otp ,

They aren’t, but adults are allowed to decide about that addiction

otp ,

In New York? Interesting.

But if you’re being facetious, that’s why I specified “that” addiction.

I mean, if they banned everything that was harmful and addictive, then nicotine and alcohol would be banned too. But clearly they don’t. Yet those are banned for children.

otp ,

Reminds me of the people who say things like “I say it like it is, and most people don’t like it”…not knowing that the reason they don’t have many friends is because they don’t have a filter and don’t think they need one, lol

But this looks like Elon Musk admitting that he’s genuinely an idiot, lol

otp ,

Ads are digital. The price ranges become digital. They have no excuse.

I’m sure you’ll still get those bootlickers defending the practice of not including tax, but they will make even less sense than before.

otp ,

Judging by your username, you left Reddit when they did the API changes, but aren’t really sure where you’ve ended up. Kudos for that! Seems like you’ve stuck to your principles.

otp ,

Oh. I didn’t have that same experience, lol

otp ,

Movies are shown to the public.

So are you charging people to view your Facebook profile? Or are you burdened with the expenses of having to host the movie in your memory? Lol

otp ,

knock it off the pedistool.

Pedi + stool…like a footstool?

otp ,

The quote you highlighted suggests it was an issue with Instagram, not OnlyFans…but Facebook has all kinds of account protection options, so I’m guessing Instagram does too.

otp ,

That doesn’t look tough, that looks malformed and stupid.

otp ,

Wonderful! After a few years of people relying on it, they can jack up the prices.

Twitter, Reddit… probably plenty more, too

otp ,

I do wish the dislike button was back, but this does seem like it could do something different.

The notes could add corrections to minor details, or even be about something that changed since the video was uploaded.

The Dislike was great for “This whole video is garbage”

otp ,

Not my current job, but people working in a large department store knowing where individual item is.

Most can point you to a department, but not even an aisle. But not everyone who works in a department store works for the department store. Anything that’s not in their line of vision might as well not exist in the store at all.

Did people stop washing their hands after using the toilet in Japan once the restrictions let up?

Did…they start?

Having lived briefly in Japan and for a while in Korea, most people left public (and workplace) washrooms without washing their hands. Even during the pandemic.

otp ,

That was the weirdest part to me. In Korea, there was usually soap in the washrooms. But in either of those countries, you’d occasionally either find no soap in the men’s rooms, or you’d find empty soap canisters.

Telling a staff member there was no soap got the reaction that a tourist in NA politely telling a police officer that they saw some litter on the sidewalk over there, lol

otp ,

Digital by far.

I can copy/paste, edit easily, share entire tasks/lists with someone, selectively share something with someone, all from multiple devices, at least one of which I’ll likely have at all times.

otp ,

Just let the babies have what they want, and they’ll stop committing violent, -motivated crimes! It’s obvious we should be voting for the far right! /s

otp ,

Hmm. What is the difference between forced intervention and whatever Portugal did when it decriminalized hard drugs?

otp ,

I see. Thank you!

Specifically about personal data…

Apple may engage third parties to act as our service providers and perform certain tasks on our behalf, such as processing or storing data, including personal data, in connection with your use of our services and delivering products to customers.

As for anonymized aggregate data…

Aggregated data is considered non‑personal data for the purposes of this Privacy Policy.

(All from Apple’s privacy page)

So they may not be explicitly selling identifiable information (which is usually pretty standard with big companies, I think), they are sharing it with other companies (which is normal)…and they’re also almost definitely selling anonymized data (which is also standard).

I live in Canada and I’ve never lived in a place without AC

We built a mean game to test AI's ability to apologise (www.bbc.com)

The project was a test to see how artificial intelligence might change one of the most delicate types of human interaction: the interpersonal apology. The companies who make AI-powered chatbots suggest we should find ways to insert them into our lives when we don’t know what to say or how to say it. That’s all well and good...

otp ,

Well, they did fly the flag upside down, in black and white, and next to Nazi flags…so I think they don’t want to be Canadian. Maybe part of the reason is that they’re not polite or apologetic.

Also, they were trying to overthrow the federal government, so I think this argument has a lot of merit.

To be fair, a lot of them probably didn’t know that, and were there because they were angry about something else and didn’t know who to blame. Plus they had nothing better to do with their time and money but to give it to a national-scale sham.

otp ,
  • It was opened, but not necessarily watched
  • The same person can open the video multiple times.

Still a big number, but it doesn’t mean that many people watched it.

otp ,

That’s a good point, but even then, a single person could click the video on different devices on different networks (especially over time with switching providers or VPN usage at all), and a lot of people watch YouTube without an account.

Especially with Rick Rolling. Not everyone would end up watching on a signed-in account.

otp ,

That sounds legit.

… wait. So that means that what you said must not be true!!

Tap for spoiler/s

Microsoft Chose Profit Over Security and Left U.S. Government Vulnerable to Russian Hack, Whistleblower Says | ProPublica Investigation (www.propublica.org)

Communists create FOSS projects. Libertarians also contribute.

Paradox solved! /s lol

and distance themselves from the outwardly racist rhetoric.

The ones I met were even more racist. They were just afraid of saying it in public because they thought the feds were watching them, and wished they didn’t have to live with that fear.

otp ,

If you sell the game yourself and provide the files, you can set lower prices. This is fair and valve doesn’t restrict that.

What about setting lower prices on other stores like GOG or Epic Games?

otp ,

Almost 7,500 tabs…in 2 years? That’s an incredibly short period of time, but too many tabs.

That just seems like an unwillingness to organize or close tabs at all, rather than real sentimental value.

At that point, just back up your browser history every night (of course, after manually removing the sites you don’t want there! Lol)
