It’s because this guy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prabhakar_Raghavan thinks that keeping people engaged on google search longer is what it is all about. Not finding what you search for, no, engagement with your search tool.

"He was the head of search for Yahoo from 2005 through 2012 — a tumultuous period that cemented its terminal decline, and effectively saw the company bow out of the search market altogether. His responsibilities? Research and development for Yahoo’s search and ads products.

When Raghavan joined the company, Yahoo held a 30.4 percent market share — not far from Google’s 36.9%, and miles ahead of the 15.7% of MSN Search. By May 2012, Yahoo was down to just 13.4 percent and had shrunk for the previous nine consecutive months, and was being beaten even by the newly-released Bing. That same year, Yahoo had the largest layoffs in its corporate history, shedding nearly 2,000 employees — or 14% of its overall workforce. " - https://www.wheresyoured.at/the-men-who-killed-google/

Bean there, done that

Foamed up shit, but yeah… still shit.

Didn’t know psychopaths were just showing themselves like this on Lemmy, wtf

Guys, guys, it’s clearly Fronaco!

Water locks, water locks everywhere.

Dingdong It’s the Dutch, they’re ready to dike it in and pump it up!!

Getting familiar with mute or mute all options is the way to go. There’s always gonna be dirt throwing in matchmaking, so you have to adapt it to your liking. For me that means that if the first thing someone says in team chat or voice is a complaint or flame, they are not really worth my time or attention. They could have said hello, asked for help, but no they went straight for a basic emotional response. No thx. That has helped a lot for me in MM.

Too bad I have no idea how deadlock works so far , gonna be a lot of muting! 😅

You can even load custom music in, I used my old TA (Total Annihilation) mp3 files and now it’s just like old times. Very intense multiplayer gaming though, phew!

The biggest difference currently would be the ability to be piloted? These glide bombs have huge range and can turn, so that’s my bet: these can be piloted through some connection and have a target location fallback or something.

Looks like it can have a connection or function autonomously, and the other factor making it a ‘drone’ would be cost compared to competing glide bombs. It’s also ground launched, which is similar to drones, but it does require a launch system of some sort, which a lot of drones do not :)

Mooie meisjes, met kaas!

And you can’t stay underwater for the same length, you’ll get the bends. Maybe better to just scan it, what a nightmare.

DSL

I did some shenanigans back in the day to fake a local network for my xbox 2001, so we could ‘LAN’ with others over the internet, mostly 2v2 deathmatches. I remember you neede cross-over UTP cables, and we had to learn what that meant. What did your DSL/Dialup switcheroo give you ins PSO and Shenmue? Just regular old multiplayer?? or something like pokemon trading over the link cable?

Juicy! Looks like both the male and female parts of this plant are ready to GO! But i’m no biologist and don’t know this type of flower by name, so maybe the stigma are inactive. The stamen are for sure active. Or maybe this one prevents self pollination with other mechanisms! NATURE posted from lemmy.world

For NL:

Your ID costs money, but you are required to have one if you are not at home, so it’s difficult to make obtaining one difficult. :) you need it 100%.

Also prices are in a set range, from 0 euros to 75,80 (2024), depending on what the local municipalities decide is fair (in that range).

Proof of address is obtained from the “basic person administration” (BRP), when you obtain your ID. That address is used to send you your Voting Pass and candidate list, so this is where the loop closes. If you have your ID and Voting Pass, your address checked out.

Yeah but the time is ticking now for the lost Russian territory, so they can try and make retaking that more expensive :)

You wouldn’t understand

Wow Aleen@@, this looks fantastic! You should Google “Kapsalon” or “Patat Kapsalon” to see another take on this dish, maybe some inspiration!!

Most of desktop users don’t care at all about these gains. Slap in normal ram and an SSD and a 1000 series Ryzen is ready to be a run of the mill desktop, that browses and can show media no problem.

I care! But I’m a power user. Most aren’t.

Welcome! I have noticed the last week or two that there has been a real influx of activity, and it’s now basically the same experience for larger subreddits/lemmy communities. All we need is some niche community and better cross/instance community combining and we’re golden. Enjoy!
