Sure, but you’d have to find someone willing to talk about it. In fact you’d probably want to find at least 2-3 people who can all confirm the same story.

Plus if you can call it a scam right out of the gate (this article is a follow up to the original purchase article when the phone was first “released”) maybe you can limit the damage of the scam.

If you can spend $100 to rightfully call out a scam that would have made $1,000, is that a net win? That’s an honest question. I think so, but I understand that might not be the case.

That’s exactly what piefed does actually.

Reddit sorta half did it with the “other discussions” or duplicate tab.

As an example,

http://old.reddit.com/r/news/duplicates/1lvi6kb/a_clicktocancel_rule_intended_to_make_cancelling/

I never saw any apps implement it, but it does look like it was part of the API, but maybe it wasn’t robust enough.

I also know at one point, and possibly still, is that it lacked URL normalization. So for example, exanple.com/headline and example.com/headline#topstory would be treated as two different articles.

Similarly http://youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ and http://youtu.be/dQw4w9WgXcQ

Would be treated as separate articles.

These are all fixable problems, but require work.

Before Arch that role belonged to Gentoo.

To add, before the change the Gentoo wiki was a top resource when it came to Linux questions. Even if you didn’t use Gentoo you could find detailed information on how various parts of Linux worked.

One day the Gentoo wiki died. It got temporary mirrors quickly, but it took a long time to get up and working again. This left a huge opening for another wiki, the Arch wiki, to become the new top resource.

I suspect, for a number of reasons, Arch was always going to replace Gentoo as the “True Linux Explorer”, but the wiki outage accelerated it.

Actually, and this may not apply to the current/new Superman but likely would the original Superman, based on the Nationality Act of 1940 Superman could be considered a child found in the United States with unknown parentage.

I get that Doom or Sonic 2 or Goldeneye or other 90s games aren’t guaranteed a place every year

FWIW Sonic 2 was the game that kicked things off this year.

But also I think the goal should be either showing off new tricks or showing off new games. Older games are going to have fewer new tricks. Obviously sometimes a barrier is broken or a new category is put together that has interesting gameplay, but in general we probably will see fewer old games.

That isn’t to say that old games should go away completely, but if there is a bias towards newer games, it makes sense.

But you are not buying a game, you are renting it.

I absolutely agree that companies shouldn’t be able to say they’re selling you a game. They should make it 100% clear that you are renting it.

I’m also onboard with requiring p2p/LAN functionality for multiplayer.

When I pay to see a film in a theater, I don’t own the film. I don’t get to watch the film again after it leaves the theater.

While I pay to see a concert, a play, or a musical, I don’t own those performances. I don’t get to see them again. They generally aren’t recorded (Although that is changing in some limited cases.)

I do think a game dying is terrible and I do think games should be clearly labeled (so people can make an education decision if they want to rent the game).

From one cake day to another, huzzah!

I always assumed that’s why the ones near the gym were some of the best. No one complains about a fountain they use sometimes, but one you use daily/weekly, you have to make sure it’s good.

In college I had a job that required me to travel all over campus. I decided to grade the various water fountains as I traveled. I had stickers, red, yellow, and green to evaluate the quality, temperature and stream. So as I walked around campus I would place a sticker on every fountain I could find.

In general the model of fountain didn’t seem to matter much. It was clear some had been hooked up poorly or just had a poor water supply. But if the fountain was in a newer building or near a gym, then they were good quality.

Long way of saying it’s not always the fountain, sometimes it’s the infrastructure.

Because Batman Forever is a sequel to a Tim Burton movie.

Batman & Robin is a sequel to a sequel of a Tim Burton movie.

The level of camp/silliness increased for each film.

As a standalone film, it was fine. In the era it came out in, it didn’t work.

But here’s a bonus feature: many platforms allow you to easily migrate your account to a new instance.

But Lemmy isn’t one of those platforms. Right?

Generally I agree with the article that the shutdown of lemm.ee isn’t a big deal. It sucks for sure, but the Fediverse survives.

Personally I don’t care about account migration. Export/import works fine, but I get that it’s a little clunky for some.

Community migration is something that I think is more important and as I understand PieFed handles this. Hopefully Lemmy will someday and even better between Lemmy & PieFed.

I’ve seen many seagulls in my life.

But I’ve never seen any of the others.

And that’s terrifying. Stay vigilant.

You also have to keep track the site and how you spell it. For example is it “Microsoft” or “microsoft”?

And keep track of the current name of the site vs the old name. For example am I signing into Microsoft or Live.com or Xbox?

And keep track of my username. Is it my email? Which email? Which username?

I understand the concept but I think if falls apart fast.

Fetterman was elected in 2022 for a 6 year term, so the 2028 election.

To allow for a live avatar. For example when playing Mario Kart online you can see the reactions of your friends your playing with. When you hit someone with a red shell and they make a mad face, you get to see it.

Microphones have been in gaming for a while, this is just the next step.

Now… Is any of that necessary? No, not really. Is it kinda neat? Maybe for some.

I mean no need to spread misinformation. This information in easily verifiable.

Sundar Pichai, Google’s CEO, worked at McKinsey for ~2 years and then joined Google in 2004, eventually working his way into the position of CEO.

Pichai’s fuck ups are unlikely a result of McKinsey, at least not directly. That isn’t to say that McKinsey is completely off the hook. They work with plenty of “top” companies and I’m certain Google is one of them.

In addition to the cowards reasoning it’s also because Paramount (parent company of CBS) and Skydance Media are trying to merge.

That deal is valued at ~8 billion dollars, so settling for a couple million in that context makes sense.

Additionally since it’s a merger it requires FCC approval and Trump appointed the FCC chairman and is known to meddle in things.

So these companies are trying to play nice with Trump so they can merge.

Basically paying $20 to make this go away is the cost of doing business. Corruption all the way.

To clarify she is currently in the House, not the Senate. So her declining to run in the Senate has nothing to do with her staying and running to stay in the House.

Also this statement is from May, and her complaints are that people aren’t supporting Trump enough. Now in June, she isn’t supporting Trump. That sounds Leopard to me.
