Yeah, I think you’re looking for Monica at this point.

it’s a bunch of loose files, basically. If you wanted it actively hosted, you’d just need to put them into a web server, basically.

How can any world government still uphold “Israel’s need to defend itself” at this point?

Hey valve, so, Uhr… Funny thing… I’m actually… Uh
… kinda dead

Well, if you’re stupid enough to tell valve about the death that is

The shelter diagnosed the liver thing, started a GoFundMe, treated the dog and then put it up for adoption instead of telling the grieving owner one wird about any of this. Instead of doing their fundraising, getting new owners and such, the previous owner said she would have happily paid for the procedure and taken her dog back home. That’s what you are missing. It’s really clearly written out in that article, so…

The content of the fucking article, mr. smughead.

You didn’t read the article and act smug nonetheless, my. Dude.

That’s what media tried to sell as “quiet quitting” here as well. They used the English term instead of the German one to make it appear as something new, cursing “gen Z” for not wanting to do overtime and such (which in reality is not a gen Z, but a Baby boomer thing here in Germany) which came out of fucking nowhere.

On the other side, someone who’s gotten into a “Stille Kündigung” mindset might not even quit. They’ll just withdraw to a point where the barely meet the minimum requirements for their job, become passive and inflexible. It’s usually seen as the ultimate consequence when employers disappoint someone too often and seen as something unrecoverable and to be avoided.

You should read up on the Non-Disney version of Peter Pan and why the kids never grew up before you agree to that.

I don’t think it’s bosses actually. I think this is the runaway click bait machine of “business outlets” trying to recapture the unexpected success of the whole “quiet quitting” thing they celebrated themselves for reinventing. “Stille Kündigung” is the literal translation for quiet quitting in German and it has been around for years, referring to an employee who has already decided that they wanna quit and mentally cut all ties to their jobs but haven’t acted on this yet. But even in Germany, the business media kept yapping about 'quiet quitting ’ as if it was something new and something to be afraid of…

Am I the only one who finds it super annoying, that “detection through sound waves” (Sonar) does video things while “detection through light” (lidar) does the sound things?

WHY?! Swap names already! It’s driving me nuts!

Two things:

1. Do we know if fuels the urge to get real children? Or do we just assume that through repetition like the myth of “gateway drugs”?
2. Since no child was involved and harmed in the making of these images… On what grounds could it be forbidden to generate them?

I got the impression that “removing” means removing before it was really implemented. Like, it was planned and decided upon, but it wasn’t ready. He checked the license and went “nope, not having it” and scrapped the feature. It doesn’t truly become clear in the text, of course, but that’s how I read this.

luckily, most games are easily modded: Just put a 1-2 frames black video file where the brand logos used to be. Done.

oh, it was the racing game? I must have gone through the text too quickly then. Yet, if we’re pragmatic: How many people would have really enjoyed that game (which wasn’t stellar to begin with) more with properly encoded surround sound, and how many would have enjoyed it a tad less because of the annoying logo spam on startup? I don’t think Surround-Sound-enjoyers were the target audience for that one.

You need to toake into account that we’re talking about a Kirby game here, which are all 2/2.5/sometimes 3D platformers. So The real effect of Dolby in such a thing would have been close to zero.

Publishers will like a database because it can be modified. If they were forced to implement such a system (thus abandoning all ‘sell the same game to the same person twice’ for different platforms), they’d oppose a blockchain system hard, since it would make it pricier to:

a) publish seven bazillion versions of any given game
b) revoke ownership of games just because it’s cheaper to do that than honor the deal they made with customers
c) correct any data-fuckups they will inevitably make because they went for the cheapest route possible to implement this, and it went pear-shaped from day 3 onwards

I’m very much on the database-side here as well. I work for a Telco company here in Germany, and we use several such databases that are regulated by external bodies and government agencies to communicate between carriers (for number porting and such). Works great overall.

Or Trump up some wild charges about tax fraud or something

So we want Google and such to ignore laws when we think they should be ignored? Who decides which is which then?
