I have this feeling too. But any game that requires an internet connection to work will eventually end up being bricked when its servers are shut down.

I recently played Helldiver’s 1 on the PS vita, and realized the servers were disabled. despite those servers being down you could still essentially play the game, even though its not as fun.

Wait, is this an ADHD thing?

No issues!

I bet google doesn’t have to. They can still mine your data and sell it for profit. They’re a data company first after all.

I swear I saw something about these being two different types of insects. Can someone confirm?

To go hang out with people in a cool setting while having alcohol-like drinks without the problems. Like going to a Kava bar or something, or tea bar. Bunch of places out there with themed drinks to hang out. Sometimes you like the taste of cocktails but don’t want to get drunk.

I’m not big of a fan of Chinese surveillance but to most peoples point that have already posted here, if this was about privacy then the government should be passing laws to protect consumer privacy as a whole and not just targeting Chinese companies. Really shows that the government doesn’t give a shit about your privacy just who’s able to get it.

When I tried setting up a new computer I initially started with Windows. Going through that new setup process was such a pain in the ass with how Microsoft tries to connect you to their services. I just want to use the damn computer without any of these ‘extra’ services. Like, is it so difficult to have an OS that you can just simply install and use without any BS? Its what finally pushed me to move to Linux. Haven’t looked back since.

Looks like the UK is breathing a sigh of relief after this.

Weren’t the French pretty salty about the UK? I recall seeing some articles on punishing the UK for leaving

Taiwan is an independent and Democratic country. China should stop bullying other countries in their own territorial waters.

It’s really hard but I struggle to tell people about my operating system. I use Arch BTW.

While I agree, the UK needs to chip a little more in too. This is everyone’s problem, not just the United States.

China being the way it is makes me doubtful. I wouldn’t hold my breath but if or when it happens or works it’ll be a good start.

The wording I noticed is that the headline says ‘new electricity demand’ which may or may not be meaningful to offset enough waste. So at the end of the day, we’ll see.

I’m pretty sure the context of the fed saying that is inflation was partly due to there being too many people who have jobs with disposable income. I’m pretty sure nowadays there unfortunately more people with underpaying jobs.

Have you heard of the five stages of grief? That’s probably the best first way to deal with it. No capitalist/socialist/fascist/technocratic/authoritarian utopia will be able to fix that. I don’t believe there is a better system yet than what the western world already has. Maybe one day UBI will exist and everyone will have more freedom to enjoy their passions but even then it you’ll still have to work most of your life.

Best you can do is figure out what you want out of your life and take the steps to do it. Like what most people have said, living below your means helps with funding your goals and protecting yourself against accidents. Find ways to do what you want now but know there’s always a trade off. It isn’t fair but I don’t think it ever has been, except for a very privileged class of people.

I used to vape in college but afterwards decided to quit. Part of what made quoting easier was moving away and breaking from routine because for me it became a part of my day-to-day. The other thing that helped me was doing cardio. Running would suck so hard because my lungs had a hard time keeping up. That shitty feeling also helped push through cravings.

Which distro uses a French press?

How come? I can see this being helpful.
