People always forget about the rules of the internet.

Rule 29: On the internet men are men, women are also men, and kids are undercover FBI agents.

Rule 30: Girls do not exist on the internet

You pay it by buying new hardware.

My 2013 macbook pro with 16 GB of RAM and 1 TB SSD has been deprecated by apple so the latest OS it gets is Big Sur, it has now been barred from signing updates (since they require the latest XCode which I cannot get with Big Sur) so its only viable life is via Linux from now on.

I have had to buy a Mac Mini with 8 GB of RAM and a 250 GB SSD to be able to upload updates for my iOS apps.

I mean I can afford it, but yeah, we are paying for OS updates dude.

That's the reason they also updated their EULAs to set a minimum renting period of 24hs for providers like Amazon and MacStadium. They want you buying hardware, they don't want to leave any easy way out.

Hasta la vista, baby

PSA: skirting their attempts to block ad blockers if you have a Google account you would rather keep may be unwise.

Google has been known for banning people for stupid crap, and this checks all the boxes.

While they were silent on this topic there was a gentlemen's agreement that you could block ads. But now that they have voiced their opinion the jig is up.

I'd recommend people to use an alternative account if they are going to block anyway and they want to keep their gmail.

they may be smart enough to avoid telling you they are voting republican.

just test it out.

some setups will work fine with wayland and some will work better with xorg.

there are of course ways solve those issues, but it's easier to test both and use the one that works best for you.

wayland is the future, but the present is whatever works best for you.

it's 30% if you only read the title, at the end of the article it says:

Two other polls released this week show President Joe Biden and Trump competitive in a 2024 matchup, with Biden edging Trump by just a point in surveys from Marist and Quinnipiac.

unless you check how they conducted the poll, you don't know if either one is correct.

was it made in an university campus or at the exit of an NRA convention? those will give you wildly different results.

the error is buying a game from a series with 11 games in development

they are going to run out of words in the dictionary to name these fucking games, they will start using words in a different language for the codenames.

no open carry? what is this? the soviet union?

It seems funny at first, but knowing they don't hate a media twisted version of you, but the real thing, is more depressing than funny.

So that they don't have to work until 67.

I mean if it were for the government they would put old people in an island and nuke it from time to time.

Enjoying the fruits of your labor? How dare you.

It's also true that population is living longer and younger generations are not having kids. I mean there's a little trick most don't know is that those contributions in the form of taxes that you made all your life towards retirement, most of it gets spent immediately by the government. So if younger generations don't have kids to keep the ponzi running the whole thing falls apart, and one of the symptoms is this, the need to raise retirement age.

you mentioned it twice so I fear the worst, please tell me you didn't remove 14000 lines manually using a text editor.

the worst fucking offender at this has to be Mass Effect, and this is coming from someone who deeply loves Mass Effect.

I don't buy DLC on principle, I will buy a proper expansion but not a DLC, so when I started Mass Effect 3 I didn't understand what the fuck was going on. I had to google it because the start of the game ties in with a DLC from the second game, what a crock of shit.

“we have worked a lot on PC performance. wanted to reach performance parity with consoles for release on similar hardware and we achieved that, However, our teams will continue working on improvements and integrating technologies like fsr and dlss in the future. “

I'm a patient gamer so I don't normally preorder, but I made an exception with CyberPunk as a tribute for paying $5 for Witcher 3 (which was my first game of the series, I went in blind and I couldn't believe how good it was).

I wasn't even mad with the shitshow but I decided wasn't going to play the game in that state.

Fast forward a few years, the game runs almost 3 times as fast (went from 25 to 70 fps on my computer) and they fixed a lot of problems people were complaining about for the DLC release. Now it's ripe.

Patient games keep being right

the fucking gall of calling massa centrist. shit-tier journalism.

My sister's dog, a cross-breed even tinier than a chihuahua, is absolutely terrified of me when I travel to visit them.

I'm a dog person but I cannot get 100 ft close to this thing.

The exception, of course, is when I kiss the nephews goodbye. She bites my ankles and shoes madly, she won't have none of it.
