Yeah, had the same issue with my ISP, but at least they switched me back to ipv4 after a support call. Didn’t want to pay extra for the privilege of not being reachable from the outside anymore.

I loved it and played against my little brother on one keyboard constantly, that was fun!

Too bad that the follow-up game went through developer hell, took ages and looked and played like shit :-(

I fully agree, this is a pragmatic gift if you kept your discourse about sexual topics open with your child from the beginning. I would’ve gone for a gift card so they can choose themselves in privacy, but it’s fine either way.

For prudish families who learnt of this gift this would be gossip material for the next year tho. So many puritans in the US, the neighbors might be the biggest issue, so i would’ve kept it on the down low.

I wanna see the chaos too!

Someone should get a fog machine so visibility in the packed office drops to zero, and hand out free vuvuzelas at the entrance.

If the telemetry is opt-in with a dialog window at first boot explaining why developers need telemetry, i don’t see the problem. It’s the difference between data freely given to help improve the system vs. data taken without consent to make you a better advertisement target.

edit: and i am pretty sure that the average FOSS-dev has way better ethics than the average microsoft data broker.

I can understand the emotional impulse, but i would change it to “active pedophiles”. They can’t really choose what arouses them, but they can choose not to act on those impulses - that is what counts. This distinction is important, because i would very much prefer if inactive pedophiles (who probably beat themselves up constantly, leading to emotional instability, depression and therefore a higher risk of becoming active) had easy access to ressources to help them stay inactive like therapy or the equivalent to Narcotics Anonymous.

I’m already reading the first one, gonna do this chronological 😁

Thanks, i was one of the lucky ten thousand and am now a David Thorne fan.

Mine too. maybe we can use a scanner, email it and destroy the now worthless cash!

you put it in the retractable cup holder, of course.

reminds me of the smuggled usb sticks with movies and stuff in north korea

omg so much shovelware and cheapest porn

i expected that the Nintendo eShop would be more curated, but this is no better than other stores - no, it’s even worse, because parents fully have the same expectation that i had before seeing that, and many will just hand a nintendo device over to the kid without checking.

and 70$ for cyberpunk 2077 - it’s a new console, not a new game ffs.

AFAIK, Wero has planned payment per NFC, but it might take a while. I wish some Austrian banks would have already joined in on Wero, but alas…

Wero already can transfer money between people btw, sending to phone numbers - if the other side already has Wero, it’s direct, if not, they can supply a bank account for deposit

which still requires someone to swipe the phone and the owner not recognizing it long enough to do a remote wipe. I am not someone who hangs on the smartphone 8 hours per day, and even i would realize my phone is gone within 15 - 30 minutes, giving an attacker a pretty small time window to act.

e: and they have to break into the phone as well - if it’s updated, that might buy more than enough time

I swear, every time i see Angry Autist, he has either anger issues or is nitpicking whatever rubbed him the wrong way. Even if he sometimes has a good point, he seems like an insufferable person. Should block him, but like i said, sometimes he has a point.

I didn’t say how optimistic i am, just that we are not special in our interaction with the biosphere - not at all. The tragedy is that we are the first that have enough intellect to reflect about those facts, so we are the first that even have the possibility to escape the cycle. if not, we probably will be reduced to scavengers, just like the bacteria in the juice bottle.

The secret lies in the balance - if i don’t sexualize women at least a little bit, i would probably don’t have a sexual preference for women.

The important thing is being able to keep it in check - I can talk with every woman without hitting on them, even if i might have sexual thoughts about them in secret, just like women will probably sexualize their preferred gender and still be able to behave decently towards men.

There’s a time and place for everything. If it were any other way, humanity would have probably died out by now - either by being primarily asexual or by being disgusted by the opposite sex and their inappropriate behavior.

P.S.: My hypothesis is that since most people are alone while posting, they are mentally in a space where such thoughts are not suppressed as much, which leads to a higher occurrence of horny remarks than in real life. A minuscule amount of people of those who can’t stop themselves from expressing their adoration of those legs would be like that when meeting her. And yes, those legs are sexy as hell, and i’m pretty sure she knows it, or this photo would not exist.

our species isn’t more or less terrible like any other species on this planet that was able to utilize ressources better. for example trees: when they came along the absolutely strangled the planet, until their waste product (oxygen) became so concentrated that todays humans would die of it. even their corpses littered the floor in meter thick layers! (that’s what todays coal is). I’m pretty sure that during this change biodiversity took a hard crash until life was able to adapt.

this continued until finally a bacterium developed the ability to degrade cellulose. i’m pretty sure the trees weren’t too happy about that one, it must have been a massacre.

the same story happens in every bottle of juice: bacteria grow inside, exhausting all available ressources, culminating in a mass dieoff with a few scavengers left over. It’s just a question if our intelligence allows us to take a different path or not.

IIRC it’s mainly that many corporations depend on VPNs for security - blanket banning would make it pretty hard for multinationals to work in china
