Yes. There is a firefox extension called Chameleon that does this.

I sure hope so.

I don’t disagree with you. People assumed I was against this but I was highlighting the fact that Russia is going to be more aggressive as Ukraine gets closer to being part of NATO.

This is going to piss off Russia something awful and escalate tensions big time.

Alphabet and Meta might be at that point soon, with the way things are going.

I would have bought it but there was no physical release until later when Limited Run games did a limited run of the game at their premium price point. And by the time I knew Limited Run was doing a release, it was too late to get one.

Until I can do the following:

– legally resell a digital copy of a game I bought,

– be able to easily and legally backup and restore the digital games I’ve bought,

– have legal guarantees that the digital games I bought won’t be taken away from me,

my reasons for wanting physical copies are more than valid.

Most democrats at the federal level are complicit in a lot of what’s going on, including Musk’s DOGE treasury crap (crimes?) despite him not being a government employee or confirmed by the senate. Hell, most congressional democrats JUST in the last year voted for the legislation that enables ICE to indefinitely detain any suspected immigrant suspected of committing any crime. No due process. No actual crime needed.

Screw voting for democrats. Democrats voted to let the government round up the people I love to be deported or tortured. If we still have the power to vote, vote for leftists. Or vote for left-of-average-democrat people like Bernie.

High seas is still the best way to experience these games!

What incentivizes you to pay money for early access games? Wouldn’t you rather wait until it’s done and have a better experience?

Do I pay full price for games before they are available to play and are most likely not going to be finished upon release? No.

Preordering anything with no real or artificial scarcity doesn’t really make financial sense. It’s a predatory sales tactic to get people to part with their money sooner, in this case before customers have a chance to use software that is pretty much unreturnable. Gaming publishers love digital preorders because some customers end up paying full price for games they don’t even like and can’t even resell.

Sadly, for at least the last ten years or more, most non-online games are best played a few years after release date when they’ve had their bugs fixed or their ‘complete edition’ released.

If they had critical thinking skills, we wouldn’t have Trump as president.

I don’t understand why you’re getting downvoted. Labor laws in China are shit. A ton of people there work way more than 40 hours a week for less money than US Americans get, live on company “campuses”, and have suicide nets.

Blue Harvest for Mac will continually clean your removable drives of these files.

The Sound Guys do a good job of breaking down LDAC, however the main point of criticism I have about the article is that they say that LDAC isn’t great because most smartphones don’t auto-choose the highest 990 bitrate. That doesn’t seem like an LDAC problem, that seems like a phone problem. My phone is admittedly a Sony, but it always chooses the highest bitrate first. There’s even a setting to force it to use 990.

The other criticism I have is that the sound guys kind of overlook the fact that, when your phone is in your pocket, it’s close enough to the headphones that you’ll almost always get the 990 bitrate. And the sound quality at 990 is fantastic. I cannot tell a difference between it and a wired connection for CD-quality FLACs. Even the 660 stepdown bitrate of the LDAC codec is really good.

Yep. Late-stage capitalism incentivizes and rewards unethical behavior.

Not that I know of. Unless someone has stated their gender or pronouns, I just use people’s names and avoid anything that assumes or implies gender.

I forgot that not being part of a platform that just changed its rules to openly allow and advocate for hate speech toward trans people is virtue signaling.

Sorry that I want trans people to live without harassment and have human rights, I guess. What a virtue signaling asshole I am.

According to Google Trends, related searches like “how to delete all photos facebook,” “alternative to facebook,” “how to quit facebook,” “how to delete threads account,” and “how to delete instagram account without logging in” have become breakout searches, with popularity suddenly increasing by over 5,000% compared to previous periods.

So that is 51 times higher than usual? Am I mathing that correctly?

I wish stories like this wouldn’t use percentages this way, and reported hard actual numbers to compare against.

I think that was certainly true ten years ago. But now? I honestly don’t know what to make of Nintendo anymore. They have been so DMCA heavy against customers in recent years that I don’t trust them to do anything right. They feel customer hostile.
