So what do you like about it and what do you dislike about it? I haven’t tried it yet, might pick it up when it costs about as much as a hamburger with fries, but probably not before.

Morrowind Expanded landmass

This one? Looks like they’re at least making progress you can download and play now!

The same could be said of Skyrim, but tons of people loved it and it’s still a great framework for modding if Bethesda themselves don’t give it a good storyline.

The Bankman fried the clients.

Sam’s the Bankman.

Personally, I also hadn’t even heard of these until now. Maybe they’re just not being marketed to the tech enthusiast crowd as we’re the sorta people who’d diss it for the privacy implication?

yet they didn’t bat an eye at the established creepers doing that already with smartphones

I don’t think anyone’s happy about that either, but the problem with Google Glass (and now even worse with the Facebook ones) is that they’re pretty damn subtle. You notice someone taking out their phone to take a photo of you, but just looking towards you with sunglasses on? Welllllll yeah.

“Break a leg” is close, but more reserved for some grand performance

So in Estonian we have a bunch of those I don’t remember because nobody uses them anymore. But the main one everyone knows is “Kivi kotti” (literally, stone/rock in your bag, but much like with “break a leg”, you actually wish them well). It’s still basically “good luck” but not so much for grand performances, it could just be for your first day of work, or going fishing (the real origin I guess). There’s also “Nael kummi” which is “nail in your tire”, which is reserved for people driving somewhere.

Qbittorrent, plex or jellyfin and if you’re into it, the arr suite for automation, all configured in a single docker compose file. It’s beautiful. But I don’t know if it’s as nice under Windows (if that’s what you’re using). For Linux it’s definitely super nice

Love how it’s styled to look like a gas station price list

The underlying issue is that nobody wants to develop using any of the available cross-platform toolkits that you can compile into native binaries without an entire browser attached. You could use Qt or GTK to build a cross-platform application. But if you use Electron, you can just run the same application on the browser AND as a standalone application.

Me? I’m considering developing my next application in Qt out of all things because it does actually have web support via WASM and I want to learn C++ and gain some Qt experience. Good idea? Probably not.

At that point you’re running some sort of server on it probably.

For which, it’s not even the most cost effective hardware tbh. There are X86 based tiny PCs for good prices used

Because I don’t want to buy it off Uplay

Oops I thought it was a Ubi title because everyone was discussing it under the AC article the other day

Ready to save money

Yeah right, I doubt that person was going to buy the game anyway lol

Me, I don’t care about any of this, but with the recent announcements from Ubisoft (Steam release on day 1, no more season pass for new Assassin’s Creed, etc) I’m a bit more optimistic towards their leadership direction and given how much good I’ve heard about the first Ghost game, I might just get this one if it works well with Proton.

Who even buys a new phone every year?

People usually clown on Apple users specifically for doing this, but every Apple user I know uses their phone for multiple years. In fact, Apple was giving users multiple years of software support while Samsung and others were only doing 2 major Android updates for flagships. Google was the one to FINALLY change the status quo in the Android world, so that’s good at least, others seem to be following suit. Previously, Android users I knew would just keep going without software updates. Luckily they mostly still receive security updates for a few years after the OS updates stop.

None of the manufacturers gives you a compelling reason to upgrade every year anymore. 10-15 years ago the changes were big because the first smartphones were shit compared to what you had just a few years later. Between the original iPhone and roughly the 5 or 5s, every upgrade was pretty major. Same on the Android side.

Now I think you’d have to go from an 11 Pro to 16 Pro to notice anything. And good news in that department, if you still have an 11 or 11 pro, that still got the iOS 18 update. Actually, so did the older XR and XS.

The only reason to buy a new phone every year nowadays is because Apple, knowing EXACTLY what they’re doing, changes the camera arrangement every year so clout chasers would know you have last year’s model. It’s stupid as fuck, but luckily none of the people I know fall for it.

Well then we’ll sue god

This might’ve changed but 10 years ago the small shop next to my school said they wouldn’t allow card payments of under 1 EUR because they’d be losing money. In Estonia

I was being facetious. Obviously it’s a huge problem.

I mean, ethnic cleansing is unlikely to even care about genetics.

Worst that could happen is that you get denied insurance coverage or pay a bigger premium than you should. Or get caught easier if you decide to succumb to a life of crime. Or in the future they might be able to figure out if you have predisposition towards addictive behaviors and market gambling and stuff to you.

So hopefully nothing too bad, but personally I’d still feel iffy about a private corporation owning the rights to my DNA.

Okay what the hell is wrong with it

It took me three times to convince it that there’s 3 r’s in strawberry…
