Can shortwave be used for things like file transfer? My thoughts are on the amount of times multiple videos of instances (ICE killings are currently the most famous) being indisputable thanks to witnesses providing video that contradicts official statements.
Meanwhile Steam is a feature rich platform with a bunch of features that regular C-suite types would never green light because they don’t have a direct ROI.
Direct profit is the main driving factor for decision making by C-suite types. EGS is a great example of this: it has the very bare bones of what constitutes an online store, you can see products and make purchases. Almost everything else is half assed and tacked on. It’s frankly amazing that a system like Steam exists when they could (and still could) enshittify really badly.
The day after it happened I was speaking to my parents (conservative, right wing) and the Channel 10 news kept repeating the flag burning footage from Australia Day paired with Pauline Hanson and co. saying it should be illegal.
Of course my parents kept repeating what they were saying on TV, fawning over PH’s views and how she should be leading the country. Meanwhile, an attempted bombing happened. Not a fucking peep. Not even on the little bit of ABC radio that I listen to.
Incredible that these “save our country” types are more interested in the rights of a piece of cloth than people’s rights or safety.
This male loneliness epidemic could get very competitive. Doctors around the country reporting genital friction burn with patients saying they’re shooting for the moon in the Competitive Coomers Leagues.
If you told me that my games could be slightly cheaper if only I use a platform like EGS I’d still happily pay the extra bit.
The much more likely scenario is that larger publishers like EA would charge the same amount and pocket the profits while I’d deal with a shit store in return.
Further to that; EGS is essentially just a store. A really shitty store. Meanwhile Steam is a feature rich platform with a bunch of features that regular C-suite types would never green light because they don’t have a direct ROI. E.g. Steam link is an absolutely amazing system for playing games on the lounge room big screen without buying a console. You know how much Steam Link costs? Is it a subscription? Maybe a limited time trial after game purchases? Nope. Completely free. Along with a shitload of other systems that cost money to maintain which are funded by that 30%.
No I think NOT_RICK is right. The Trump administration has done nothing but follow the rule of law and been persecuted the whole way. What makes you think they’ll start going against the constitution/courts/rule of law now? /S
It would be good to see a mass exodus from Xitter by governments and companies. The same entities that always say to ‘protect the children’ and the same platform that {checks notes} generated CSAM.
I don’t know if this is something that I’ve set up somehow but I get a spiffy 2FA pop up on my Apple devices when I sign into my account. It’s not an app or whatnot but a part of the OS.
Word of mouth, the posters with the little grab tabs at the bottom, that one old lady who tells everyone around town the gossip including deeply personal information. Honestly, petrescatraian, are you even trying? Smh my head. Then they could download it as a CSV file to use in Libreoffice on their Linux Mint machine in the middle of Costco. /S
"We also apologise to Dr Randa Abdel-Fattah for how the decision was represented and reiterate this is not about identity or dissent but rather a continuing rapid shift in the national discourse around the breadth of freedom of expression in our nation following Australia's worst terror attack in history."
I don’t think it’s the apology that they think it is. Heavily paraphrasing: “it’s not about who you are or what you’ve done personally. It’s about your heritage and the dirty bloodline that represents after bad actors committed an atrocity.”
Somehow I’m both too good and not good enough to meet the criteria to join.
