Thank fuck tho, it will keep electric waste down, and I feel we are starting to figure out you don’t need to spec your game to the newest graphics card for it to be fun.

Visegrád don’t mean shit these days, the journalist is Polish, and worked with Radio Free Europe.
If anything, she’s Western-biased.
Cali is a hit or miss, the Cali privacy reg has been so watered down compared to the GDPR it feels like the ad industry got it in to prevent future harsher regulations.
How can this GaaS thing be sooo profitable and also such bad press that even mentioning it results in a “sorry we didn’t mean that” article?
It seems the EU is moving on this issue with their usual tectonic speed.
Let’s hope they also hit with their usual tectonic force.
A lesser standard still applies if it either embeds or redirects to a payment page. Again, shouldn’t mean shit, but still.
Investors are also terminally stupid,
Also, they are mostly bots.
Because the alternative seems to be a Russian intelligence asset.
the only thing the app does is start transactions and check with the server if they’re paid
Yeah, but the whole PCI DSS thing means that the app must still be secured. That doesn’t necessarily mean that it has to be tied to Google Play, but explain it to them.
IIRC they did coupons exclusively in their app a few years ago where I lived (haven’t checked since), and they hiked the price of everything, so if you don’t install the app, you get a 20% surcharge in effect.
That goes for every single shitty chain store as well.
W40K has the same premise, except the “app-savvy” people are cyborg tech-priests praying to machine spirits, and which button to press is codified into rites.
Well, the BBC headline avoids saying it was the Israelis killing her, they just say that the killing and the shots happened concurrently, but it fails to establish cause-effect.
Well, it still uses “fatally shot” instead of “killed”. And there is evidently no reason to do so, since they use “killed” in the article enough.
No, but governments with authoritarian tendencies, especially those with a nationalist streak, put a hard focus on international sports competitions as a matter of national pride. Starting with the Nazi German Olympics being the first televised event in human history, look at the Russian doping scandals, or how the Hungarian prime minister has a gigantic stadium in his tiny home village.
Competing in sports is okay. So is being an obsessed fan. When the government becomes an obsessed fan, that’s when the weirdness starts.
President Xi Jinping, reportedly a big football fan, once expressed his hopes to turn China into a “global football superpower”.
It is not okay to say this in an official capacity.
I guess the problem is that app developers write the installers, and they suck at following conventions. Obligatory fuck Snap, as it creates a folder in the home dir, and it doesn’t even bother to hide it, and it is not even reconfigurable.
Thanks for spamming this to keep reminding me, I am a total slob, and it took me this long to go find my ID card to sign.
or /opt, or a binary in some hidden folder in /home…
If you sneak onto someone’s campground property and have a bonfire party
Ah, I would say that is worse than piracy, since you deprive them of the ground for a time. A better analogy would be sneaking into the party they are having and enjoying it with them without paying for an invitation. Or sneaking into a concert.
WHAT ABOUT
