Do a search on yourself - try to find out your real identity based on information online, and do it as thoroughly as if you were searching for your worst enemy.

If you can find who you are yourself, chances are they will.

Make sure you don’t have anything “hairy” tied to an email with an email address you’d use for anything uncompromising. E.g. keep the email you use to login on Lemmy and the email you use to login on netflix separate.

Use 2 factor authentication and a password manager. Treat your password leaks seriously and consider any leaked accounts burnt - assume the details you had in there are now known.

Avoid using your real name on anything you can.

Best wishes. Take care my friend!

Lessons will be available at least, even if nobody decides to take away anything from them.

Once a cheater, always a cheater.

That’s true, but the person perceived to be “in power” in the relationship (what was called traditionally the breadwinner) is less likely to complain about the situation. I don’t think many working people, women or otherwise, think “I wish I could work at home tidying up the house for no salary and have no income of my own!”

I agree with your point still - once children are in the equation some women might shift towards the traditional view if that means they’d get to stay at home spending time with them.

Not just sweet, but surprisingly for Apple, the M4 Mac mini is even decent value for money. If you want to buy a similar non-mac machine you can’t do it for any less money. For ≈$1500, the comparable HP Z2 Mini comes with 16 GB of RAM and an 8 GB Nvidia T1000. For that price the Mac Mini comes with 24 GB of memory, shared but available to the GPU.

Great western railway operates like this, offering you a “mystery seat” regardless of whether they’ve sold 120% of the seats in the train.

I think people answering these comments are from other countries that don’t understand that on a train from Reading to London in rush hour, there might be 60 seats and 80 passengers per carriage. 20 of these pax standing despite their ticket that said “Feel free to sit on any free seat you happen to find!”

Yeah but why even give you the checkbox/option for reserving a seat, only to tell you that you might actually be standing if the train is full or you don’t arrive early enough?

Except you haven’t, that’s the point.

If you don’t get to the train early, you have to stand. That’s how British trains work. People who get to the train will see many seats unreserved saying “Seat Available” on the overhead sign, regardless of whether they’ve reserved a seat.

So someone who hasn’t clicked “reserve a seat” on the booking process might sit on that, while you stand in the hallway.

The ticket literally means “sorry, you don’t have a seat assigned”.

No

Not disagreeing with you necessarily, but ADHD also fits the bill. I’m very much a happy person at the moment, I wouldn’t change anything in my life, yet I subscribe to what OP says. Games are too long, too boring to grab my attention long enough.

I managed recently to complete GTA V because I found the story hilarious, and I only managed that by skipping all side missions. That’s the only long / AAA game I’ve managed to finish in recent years.

What helps me is understanding that if I get 5h of enjoyment out of a game rather than getting to the intended 50h playtime, that’s also valid. 5h of fun also counts as fun and this is a game, not work, so there’s no pressure to finish it.

Can we do something like reporting Denuvo or the kernel anticheats as malware in Windows defender?

A game with a built in system lever logger that could theoretically monitor even your bank transactions should be reported as spyware/malware and users installing it should have to expressly acknowledge / authorise this.

• Does this work with a UK plug socket?
• Do you offer shipping?
• When could I go and pick it up?
• Do you have any other matching lamps/etc?
• What types of light bulbs does it use?
• Does it still have manufacturer’s warranty?

I know this is only a comic… but he’s answering questions, just not the ones in the post!!

That’s the problem then, they should have hired some cloud experts if they’re selling a cloud-first service as a “game”.

What? Elections in Japan?

I don’t think so, SpaceX claimed (and NASA apparently verified) that the development costs for the Falcon 9 were $300 million. It’s in the Wikipedia article, also here: https://newspaceeconomy.ca/2022/10/23/how-much-would-falcon-9-have-cost-if-it-was-developed-by-nasa/?amp=1

I was under the impression that the Falcon Heavy was a ground-up development. But in any case the Falcon 9 was cheaper, so go figure…

$700 million is the estimated development cost of the Falcon Heavy.

Not a game, not a space simulation, but the actual Falcon Heavy rocket. A rocket that can actually go into space.

I know they’re different things but I thought I’d leave this here to put things in perspective.

I agree with you with the fact that it’s wild, very distopian sci-fi.

However, even it this very much an ethical no-no, I’m not sure which bit is the technically illegal part.

If he were selling normal sheep, that would be perfectly legal. Nobody would bat an eyelid, despite being similar treatment to animals.

Is it the cloning that is illegal? If he were to clone a species on the brink of extinction to re-populate an area, would that be ethical but illegal?

Is the problem that he’s cloning without authorisation? Who decides whether we can bring new animals to life via cloning? Is there a Ministry of Clones that needs to authorise people to clone stuff?

This is the Pro, the mid-cycle refresh with more power and whatnot.

Cool, but it’s missing trackpads and Linux…

I never knew how much I needed the trackpads until I played on the deck - unlike with the joysticks, I can actually play FPSs!!
