He got got because the user used an Apple ID that was linekd to their real identity, which is one of the things Proton is obligated to provide in cases like this.
Proton says all the time, they are obligated to comply with the letter of the law, so do not store anything identifiable anywhere they're legally required to provide it. They tell you exactly what not to do, to avoid this precise case. They do not want to provide anything they don't have to, but they also do not want their company shut down.
What's stopping me? The fact that they need me to generate ad revenue to fund those trees, and I'd rather not be advertised to.
No, I understood that, I did read the article. I'm lambasting the fact that in an article about "brain chip gone wrong", burying the "but human seems to be unharmed" at the end of an article is indicative of a set of priorities wildly different from my own.
The point is that this is the opening paragraph about something going wrong in human brain surgery, and the first thing they tell us is "don't worry, the data's fine", rather than anything about the human. Indeed, you have to read to the last paragraph to find:
Arbaugh's safety does not appear to be negatively impacted.
"Better" is such a strong word. It's a kludge where you have to connect your phone and switch to a virtual wifi and then you can send up to ten photos at a snail's pace. I kept using twitter because it's such an annoying process.
Splatoon 1 let you play five different minigames on the wii u pad, including a pretty solid rhythm game, while waiting, nothing else has come close for me
I personally have a signature stamp. I imagine that would work for anyone who has literally any range of motion, down to "can hold a stamp in their teeth and tilt their head a few degrees to press it against a document".
For people who don't have even that, I think a notary is allowed to sign on your behalf, if they can be provided documentation of your disability, but that will vary by country of course.
Most games lose something like 80%-90% of their players in the first couple months. Helldivers 2 is still at about 35% of peak. That's pretty huge. Is it, literally, losing steam? Yes, in a technical sense, you're right. But all games lose steam. Helldivers 2 is losing it way slower than comparable games, which is much more important imo.
Is it chilling? I was already going to stay where I am, whether I made a copy or not. Sharding off a replica to go on for me would be strictly better than not doing that
But like.. do I care? "I" will survive, even if I'm not the one who does the surviving.
They even mention in the article, just above the cut, that they're afraid this article will get paywalled lol
And below the cut, that they're aware of the irony, but surely people who pay for journalism can see why journalism is important, which is like.. good point, I guess. Sometimes the system sucks and we have to work with what we have.
That's almost correct. The microtransaction is not a ferrystone (the fast-travel consumable). It is a portcrystal (a one-time additional fast travel location). You cannot buy ferrystones with real money.
Ferrystones are found or purchased rarely. It's a clearly intentional decision to force you to explore the world on foot and weigh whether the current danger is bad enough to use a precious ferrystone to get home or if you should try and push through.
The game certainly has problems, but the lack of fast travel is demonstrably an intentional decision to encourage the style of gameplay they envision, not some lack of functionality. This is exactly what mods are for.
What are you talking about? They show the headphone battery being replaced in the same image as the case. It's a little button cell that hinges out.
Surely they mean entirety as in "the entire monthly player numbers of every game on steam", not "the quantity of accounts that've ever been created"
I disagree? It skips to the highlight. If I came here to see the cool table, I wanna see the cool table, not the 15 minutes beforehand of the guy talking about tableology and his quest to find the optimal oak polish. Highlights don't skip automatically by default, so it harms nothing having it there for videos you personally don't want to use it on; if I'm in the mood to see a longform video, I will, and if I just want to see the cool thing displayed in the thumbnail, I will.
I also kind of enjoy the memey ones, like how most uploads of the beatmania song Second Heaven have the infamous SOMEBODY SCREAM tagged as a highlight. It's a fun little moment of "someone else was here before me for the same thing, and they left a trace", kinda like a dark souls message.
Maybe you might argue that should be a different category? But personally I think your definition of highlight is rather narrow
No, you see, you just get every citizen to pay a little bit into the bridge, and then everyone can use it. Maybe we put some of that money aside and establish a group of people to care for the bridge, upkeep and whatnot. It wouldn't be fair to just pick them arbitrarily, so we should probably hold some kind of vote. And, well, I guess the money will run out, so maybe we take a little more from everyone every year, just to keep it in good shape
Huh? That sounds like what? Gov--
Oh fuck wait shit i mean DONT TREAD ON ME
Now imagine it in, say, fog, or a storm, or any other low-visibility condition. You can see the vague outline of a car 20 feet ahead, and a blinking arrow pointing to the right, but not in line with where a right blinker should be.
Oh, my dear, sweet summer child, they're not talking about Skyrim. When people say "horse armour" they're talking about one thing:
In the year of our lord 2006, when Skyrim was still half a decade away. the Xbox 360 release of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion had a $2.50 "DLC" for two sets of horse armour, and it was roundly mocked for it. It wasn't the first microtransaction, but it was certainly the first one that set everyone talking about its absurdity. The conversation was absolutely about charging money for cosmetics. In fact the general tone was, perhaps ironically, the opposite of today's prevailing zeitgeist; this was a time when people were accustomed to spending $10-20 for a sizable "expansion pack" or "content disc", and the idea of dropping $2.50 for horse armour that didn't even do anything was absolutely ludicrous.
I noticed my posts on Lemmy.world stopped showing up to my account from that instance, and looking back, it seems like nothing I've posted for the last 4 days has federated.
