Just an another HTTP header, flagging if user is an adult. Set it to False if OS reports that the account used has parental controls enabled.

I wouldn’t call it a hobby, just some entertainment to pass the time/hang out with friends.

It was Counter-Strike 1.6. I didn’t leave the house the summer I discovered it as a kid.

“It’s capitalism” is an unsatisfying explanation because one the one hand it’s sort of trivially true, but on the other, good movies have been made under capitalism.

But you went to watch a blockbuster. These are made to make money above all else. You just aren’t the target demographic.

Additionally, I can’t really understand why are dynamically linked libraries so popular and how on earth anyone who ever had a “.dll / .so not found” error thinks this is a good idea.

  1. You can load a DLL once and all programs can share it, saving memory. It also makes programs start faster since the DLL might be already loaded, so there’s less to load from disk. That mattered more back in the 90s
  2. You can update one file and have the patch apply to all programs

Meta discontinues Messenger Lite for Android, it will be unavailable after Sep 18. Users need to install regular Messenger app instead (beehaw.org)

Poland.

He could’ve easily got it solved but he didn’t have money and the public defender just told him confessing was the best option.

It might be a legend, it’s just a thing that supposedly happened to someone in a community I participate in.

There’s Firefox on iOS, but it’s practically a wrapper around Safari. You get your bookmark synchronization, but everything under the hood runs on WebKit.

Xbox's biggest crisis right now isn't games. It's hardware. (Opinion - Jez Corden) (www.windowscentral.com)

"Today, PlayStation revealed that its PS5 has sold 40 million units. Microsoft doesn’t share hardware numbers typically, but court documents, math, and slides from an ID@Xbox in Brazil seem to suggest the Xbox Series X|S line-up is around 20-23 million units sold globally. That essentially puts the PS5 at a 2:1 advantage...

Also, at least in the X360 times some games wouldn’t have dedicated servers, instead hosting matches on the console of one of the players.

And you would be paying. To host the server on your own machine.

PS4 also sold 40M units by it’s third year.

It at least performs better in browser than as a desktop app, for me at least.

I wish I could disable the AI enhancements on my phone.

I want my selfies to actually look like me.

Let’s hope the old web returns.

The smartphone was a disaster. We shouldn't be connected to the Internet constantly.
