The enemy is both weak and strong.

No point in contributing to a hostile organization.

Happened with Tears of the Kingdom too iirc.

They also note that they are very proud of Shattered Space, with most of the quests and levels being done by designers who have been working with Bethesda all the way back to Morrowind.

Maybe it’s time to give someone else a try.

Just crank your hog man

All lemm.ee users well know that the inferior Asiatic brainpan could never discern a pile of shit from an ice cream cone.

I was involved with an Indie game that was priced at roughly $15. It literally sold for 10 cents in those regions with Steam’s recommended pricing, mainly due to the accelerating inflation, and within hours of release, 20% of the sales came from these regions because of people abusing VPN. The pricing was quickly adjusted before that percentage could grow any larger.

When people can just get a freshly released game at a 99.5% discount, you might as well not sell the game at all in those regions.

Relatively speaking, games already were practically free in those countries to begin with, so it’s not like piracy would make a difference to the vendors.

It’s just gonna pollute the internet with even more bullshit. Language models don’t really understand topics, they just put together words that are likely to appear with each other. Biases are inherent to this design.

Well, at least in terms of information security a lot of progress was made, you just don’t tend to hear anything about that. I’d say the 2010s was the time where all that was being put into place, actually.

That exciting early 2000s Internet was unbelievably shitty. Nearly every widely-used protocol was easily exploitable or had massive flaws, hardly any encryption being in place, bad password practices and very little security-awareness among users, very widespread malware, etc.

There’s definitely a lot of answers that are looking for a question out there, with lots of corporate greed in play, but I don’t think it’s quite as grim as you make it out to be.

"I just want to browse for god’s sake "

If you don’t want to be informed, fine. Nobody’s forcing you to use a different browser either.

Not sure how it is nowadays, but back in 2018 Libreoffice Calc was struggling to handle even a single sheet of data entries, performance-wise, let alone multiple sheets.

I’m not expecting it to have every feature imaginable, but I do expect it to not freeze when processing even a relatively small dataset.

Fuck Ubuntu. Buggy as shit updates, forced snaps, always had problems whenever I was forced to use it, which I’ve never had again when I switched to Debian.

Debian >>>>>> Ubuntu
