What are you talking about, if ease of updates is a concern then it literally does not get better than bazzite. You don't even notice that updates are happening, that's how easy they are

This has absolutely nothing to do with enshittification. Bluesky doesn't need that redirect to know what you're clicking on. You're already on their platform, they can already track every single click that you do while on Bluesky including navigating to outbound links. I'm a bit shocked that nobody here is calling that out to be honest

I don't know about this case specifically, but I own Alan Wake on steam which has since been delisted because of music licenses running out. At least for that one, I still own the game on steam and can download, install and play it normally whenever I want, it's just that people cannot buy it anymore through steam. If you're lucky, it's gonna be the same with the adult swim games.

I'm German, and I've never heard that before. I'd be seriously weirded out by someone saying that or teaching it to their kids

Not quite a setting, but every game should be required to tell you how long ago the last save was when you quit the game. I absolutely don't understand why it's only a tiny minority of games that does this, it is such an obvious thing to do

No, nutomic started by ignoring the actual question that was asked and instead starting an ideological argument with a bad faith question. You might say that OP shouldn't have taken the bait, but this was not started by them

One of my favorite recent minifigures!

I think the idea is to pressure the partners of Collective Shout, per the url in the comment. Those might not necessarily agree with what they're doing in this case, and if they see it's making waves, reconsider their partnership.

Immich might not hold up yet in every aspect to Google photos, but I was and am still blown away by how much better face detection and grouping works. I cannot believe how ridiculously bad that feature is in Google, you just have to pray that it works, and if it messes up, it's extremely annoying to fix. In immich, it works exactly as you'd expect.

we're going to ostracize you from society forever

That is very different from simply not wanting him to be a representative for his country and potential role model for aspiring athletes in one of the biggest media events of the world though. Being welcomed back as a member of society is one thing, but there is a point to be made about expecting more of Olympic athletes than your average member of society.

What? Since when does Valve prohibit companies from redirecting customers to non-Valve purchasing flows? Because that's what this ruling is about, it says Apple can't prohibit apps from telling users to go buy off-platform for lower prices. Valve isn't doing that with Steam afaik, actually I'm not aware of any other platform that does this

That quote is not from the first one though, it's from the second one

I mean, you're not wrong, but your point is also kinda meaningless. Of course, you only ever do things because there's something in it for you, even if that something is just feeling good about yourself. If there was truly nothing in it for you, then why would you do it?

But that misses the point of the "people are inherently selfish" vs "people are inherently generous" discussion, because it's not actually about whether people do things only for themselves at the most literal level, instead it's about whether people inherently get something out of doing things for others without external motivation. So your point works the same on both sides of the argument.

they specifically excluded those symbols from the email they sent to German accounts

And even that they fucked up, because it seems like they just removed them from the German language version of the email. German accounts set to English (like mine) got the symbols like everyone else.

ELVEs (Emissions of Light and Very Low Frequency perturbations due to Electromagnetic Pulse Sources)

This has to be one of the most shoehorned acronyms I've ever seen

I suspect the reasoning for it was more along the lines of "if you're pasting the password, that means you probably saved it in a text file on your desktop or something, and you shouldn't do that so let's stop you from doing it". In reality, it probably didn't work to make anyone store passwords more securely, and only made life unnecessarily harder for people with password managers

"Slavic" is not the issue here, it's the symbols at the end of the subject line. See the rest of the comments.

I mean, this is one of the few cases where you actually can reasonably say that you might not have to give a damn about GDPR. Assuming this is in the US, there's a high chance that no EU citizen lives in that building, and thus GDPR doesn't apply.

(Yes, I know this didn't actually happen)

It depends on where you live. In Germany, forced arbitration in general TOS is invalid and has to be separately negotiated and agreed to. In general, what you can put into your TOS is pretty restricted, anything you put in there that a consumer wouldn't reasonably expect is not gonna be legally binding.
