  • That's fair, I agree. I just find it a bit concerning that random people who try to make money off of affiliate links are encouraged to join this class action lawsuit about a client-side browser addon. I totally understand why people who have had sponsorship agreements with them would sue, but that's purely between the two businesses. If this results in a ruling that has nothing to do with the lack of transparency then that might ultimately be a bad thing.

  • Hope this case won't be used against consumers in the future. If I want to use/make an extension that scrubs all affiliate links and cookies that should be legal, same with an extension that replaces all affiliate links/cookies with ones from someone I want to support. Advertisers and their partners have no rights to anything being stored/done on my devices.

    Not defending what Paypal was doing, but the real issue for me is that they had no intention of actually finding the best codes/discounts, not what they did with affiliate links.

  • Xi Jinping says no one can stop China’s ‘reunification’ with Taiwan

    Jump

  • It's a fair argument, I wouldn't call South or North Korea forcefully annexing the other reunification either though. One state would be annihilated, both in terms of its institutions and its culture. There's no unity in that, it's conquest.

    But maybe my view of the word is colored by German history. I don't know, it's just that calling what would be a horrible, grueling war "reunification" doesn't seem right, like an attempt at white-washing what would actually happen. Reminds me a bit too much of Putin's claims about Ukraine.

  • The re- prefix does have implications that go beyond any two states becoming one. Germany's case is a bit different anyway because it was external forces splitting the country.

  • Taiwan was never part of current China though and does not want to be absorbed into that state. Reunification doesn't sound right for what China would have to do to make it happen.

  • No Shit.

  • Try Notepad3, it's a real text editor with a save button, tabs, line numbers and no AI, can replace MS Notepad completely. I think you need to remove the store app for that to work nowadays though.

  • JetKVM's Source Code is now public! ✨

    Jump

  • Their FAQ says that they haven't tested this with KVM switches but that it should work. PiKVM doesn't always work well with switches, hoping this will be better. Because off-the-shelf IPKVM switches all seem rubbish, overpriced or both.

  • Reproduction is a fundamental driving force in human behavior. I refuse to believe there are truly asexual people who aren’t neurodivergent.

    If the neurodivergency is their sexuality then maybe? What about homosexual people? Because that's not going to result in offspring either.

  • Welcome to the femosphere, the latest dark, toxic corner of the internet… for women

    Jump

  • The article doesn't really address the brand of revenge "feminism" I've seen on that sub and mostly frames it as women who want to become trad wives because it's easy. What I've seen is that they basically want to find sugar daddies while also really, really hating men in general, especially the "low status" ones.

    How did they get to that point? I suspect it's a variation of mean world syndrome, fueled by ideas like the poisonous M&M analogy (understood not as a call to be cautious but to treat every man as if they were bad) and seeing men and women as as coherent classes engaging in warfare. All watered down to simple talking points that fit in a punchy tweet. If men as a group do/don't do this for me then it's okay to be awful to any individual one because he's the enemy too.

    Hateful, dehumanizing thinking. So yes, they do mirror the Andrew Tate dudes pretty much exactly, including being trans-exclusive.

  • What video game are you waiting to see a new sequel for?

    Jump

  • Dark Messiah: First person action RPG where you kick Orcs into spikes a lot. Add some more gimmicks, more verticality and enemy variety, basically done.

    C&C Generals: Sequel was planned but canceled. The original still has a following, AoE2 had multiple profitable remasters. The genre might be more niche but it isn't dead.

    Bulletstorm: Stupid fun FPS with a ridiculous story, not quite a "boomer shooter" but a sequel could definitely profit from that current trend.

    Also Slay the Spire and Cyberpunk 2077, but those are actually happening.

  • Ich finds auch grauenvoll, vor allem wenn es um ernste Themen geht. Nägel auf der Schiefertafel. Finde allerdings auch die Verniedlichungsform mit -i oft scheußlich. Gerade bei ernsthaften Themen ist diese Assoziation dann wirklich unvorteilhaft. Kriegsverbrechys (wie Hitlers Helfys) und ihre Opfys klingt so als würde man sich darüber lustig machen.

  • Wouldn't it be neat if companies weren't flocking to a few neighborhoods in a few cities, creating not only traffic jams but driving up housing prices as well? Isn't it silly how local governments are competing on who can throw the most money at private enterprise to get the new widget factory or tech campus built there?
