Go on Mr totally-not-nazi-leader Putin, open up the war on another front. That worked out so well for the last one, as your country should know.

I think enforcing some universal API for this would be a decent compromise. This would allow browsers to handle the UI which means the user can set a global preference or set it per site. At the very least the UI would be uniform so you wouldn’t have to fight dark patterns trying to disable them.

A new Type of Mastodon Signup that gives people a sense of Agency (fungiverse.wordpress.com)

TL;DR: The current Mastodon-signup is only removing the confusion of users on first glance, because it either hides the server-choice altogether, or leaves them with a choice that is impossible to make at this point of their Mastodon-journey. Instead, it should introduce them to decentrality on a lower scale, with a handful of...

Is it really? Can someone not just like the potter series and either disagree with or ignore the politics of the author?

them ,

Thanks for the perspective. I’m not a member of the community (or much of a potter fan, other than enjoying the movies as a kid. Nostalgia) so it’s probably a lot easier for me to separate author from work.

It just concerned me that people would be unintentionally flagging themselves as an adversary. The generalisation also seemed unfair and alienating in the same way many marginalised groups are. I do understand though that one side is something you enjoy and the other is something you are.

I don’t agree that this type of response is productive, there’s a lot more nuance to these arguments. It is however interesting which things we’re no longer allowed to like. Disney for example, despite their history of anti-Semitism don’t nearly get as much hate as they deserve and at a time where even suggesting something that Israel did to Gaza is bad becomes conflated with hating Jews

In Rowling’s case it seems to be due to her being alive and directly benefiting from the financial success of her work. Pirating seems like a fair compromise. “I like what you make enough to consume it, but don’t like you enough to pay for it”

Maybe good creators are just horrible people

I’ve only just realised that with the way federation works, each user effectively represents their instance and it’s community. Now I know to not give anyone at fanaticus.social any attention.

Is this a joke about every day being a 0-day?

Is focus to infinity that different for these types of scopes compared to a conventional camera which focuses to infinity after a couple hundred metres? I would have thought the draw back would be the focal lengths giving you a very small area in frame.

Because the genetics that build the vocal tract could be different, which in simple terms could mean a change in pitch. There are also more cultural differences such as speech cadence, accent, and inflection.

Unfortunately we can’t pick winners this way. Even if actiblizz come out on top it’s still a win for alternative stores so i’m happy with that outcome.

It does safeguard to some extent. The goty editions will typically have all patches that didn’t exist on the launch version. This is usually an issue for offline play/preservation where the platform that would provide you with updates no longer exist.

GTA 6’s Publisher Says Video Games Should Theoretically Be Priced At Dollars Per Hour (www.forbes.com)

While Take-Two is riding high on their announcement that a GTA 6 trailer is coming, its CEO has some…interesting ideas on how much video games could cost, part of a contingent of executives that believe games are underpriced, given their cost, length or some combination of the two.

There’s a concept that should be familiar to a business owner called value based pricing where you charge based upon a (usually service) product’s perceived value rather than the cost of producing it. Make a game worth giving time and money to then you’ll have success. Fill it with pointless content to pad out the hours and it is neither worth the time nor the money

Another government related one. The UK government were until 2015 still paying compensation to families that made their wealth in the slave trade, for it’s abolition. Another way to read this is that some wealthy families accepted tax payers money as compensation for their ancestors no longer being able to profit from the abuse of humans.
