I mean, one compromised account leading to a massive influx of spam is a legitimate concern.

You can’t always assume “happy path”.

“How to disable this opt in feature”: “don’t turn it on”

I get that Lemmy is a bastion for M$ hate but FUD articles get annoying.

To be fair, one of those is much, much easier to remember. Honestly I don’t even know how to pronounce verisimilitude.

Hell, you can buy with cash. Walk to a local big box store and buy a steam wallet/gift card. That is assuming you live somewhere that has that option, of course.

Online, usually. Though you can technically use debit in some places.

I get the sentiment but nothing would come from such a report. You’d be better off working to shame them socially.

You can virtually never know when you are talking directly to the server.

The problem is, it’s nowhere near 1:5. It’s more like 1:100 if we include only games with a decent amount of effort put in.

Y2K wasn’t overhyped. It was just successfully planned for. This reeks of the paradox of IT. “Everything is broken, what do you even do” vs “nothing is broken, what do you even do?”

While I agree, listing successful games is just confirmation bias. For every indie darling, you’ve got hundreds of flops.

The reason triple a games are so mediocre is because it’s safe. You dont have to take a huge risk, and your chances of failing are smaller. Even if you do fail, the chances of recouping your investment are pretty decent.

Again, I think indie games are generally better than pretty much anything the triple a scene puts out. But that’s because they took a huge risk that happened to pay out.

This only works if you’re already caught up. Good luck “accidentally binging” 18 days straight (excluding credits).

To be fair, icon theming was terrible in most previous betas too. I highly doubt they are focusing on that aspect pretty hard in the dev betas.

Israel != “The Jews”

Israel is a country. Jewish is a Religion.

Write a script that sets the password to 10 different passwords, then back to your original password.

I’m pretty sure they meant that “the result they want” (“UBI is bad”) would be peer reviewed and shown to be bunk, but the people who wanted that result will ignore the peer review results.

They weren’t disagreeing with the original comment, just adding to it.

I mean, outlook has themes… but I generally hate their other recent UI changes.

I’ll have to give it another attempt I suppose. It feels right up my alley other than the pacing.

I’ve unironically seen both positive and negative reactions from people.

This is the first time in a long time I don’t get a meme…
