Isn’t there a version of win11 like Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC?

Gotta get that. All stripped, just the OS and security.

There are only 3 developers I will preorder from whenever I find the game they are releasing interesting. Erin “Concerned Ape” (Stardew Valley); Bob the Bot (Survivalist); and Terry Cavanagh, the creator of VVVVVV.
They keep their games updated, they are pretty chill people, and they keep players informed during development.
For now, they are the only ones who have earned my trust.

For everything else, it’s full patientgamer mode for me. Wait until the whole game is released with a single price tag, 90% discount, no online requirements outside of multiplayer, and community fixes.

Infinite growth is impossible, so they switched to squeezing something until it breaks, then identifying the next thing to squeeze. Eventually, they run out of things to squeeze, and switch to squeezing the people directly.

Corporations can’t stand it a logarithmic graph. They need freaking geometric progressions, and then they do stuff that gets them an anti-logarithmic graph.

And it’s not something new or anything like that. There are lots of cultures through history in which people choose their own names or alternate names throughout their life for a variety of reasons.

The only reason I even knew about him was because of people mocking him and denouncing his grifting and reprehensible ideology through memes.

I am yet to see any sign that the upper echelos of the Democratic party aren’t in on it.

Unfortunately, without a grassroots movement that has a way to guarantee that people will commit and vote for a third single-issue party that will actually change things without going into ideological divisions, and just fix the money in politics and electoral system and stuff like that, then declare elections again right away, things will not change.

Any internet service provider needs to be completely neutral. Not only in their actions, but also in their liability.
Same goes for other services like payment processors.
If companies that provide content-agnostic services are allowed to policy the content, that opens the door to really nasty stuff.

You can’t chop everyone’s arms to stop a few people from stealing.

If they think their services are being used in a reprehensible manner, what they need to do is alert the authorities, not act like vigilantes.

Firefox does run better when you disable all “ml.chat” settings.

Collective Shout is a conservative, forced-birth anti-trans sex-nagative women-patronizing christian organization masquerading as feminist.

They call themselves “feminist” but they are as “feminist” as the guys who finally allowed women to drive in Saudia Arabia.

Let’s say it like it is: after the world of hundreds of developers is undermined, and the property of thousands of customers is compromised.

I can get the pokéball, but mounts in games are older than pokémon. That one makes no sense.

They need to make mining drones mandatory, too. Humans have no business being in holes. They are not their holes, they do not belong in them.
I’m looking at you, spelunkers.

Yeah. All GW1 pretty much needs at this point is just the Beyond chapter of Elona and 2 professions unique to Prophecies, one heavy armor, one medium armor. And having Prophecies and Factions weapon drops updated to the new system used in Nightfall and EotN, with inscriptions and more upgrades, and making the upgrades have fixed stats like armor upgrades, so they can get their own trader NPC.
And then rig the trader NPCs to always have supllies at a premium cost so GW1’s economy does not depend on bots to stay supplied.

There’s no way we’ll ever see new professions , and I doubt they’ll ever update the weapon drops. But they have already done some new quests. So there’s still a bit of hope for “Rise of Joko”.

Great. Now I have to wear aging makeup because of my baby face.

That idiot CEO is doing idiot CEO things.

Everyone knows that if he keeps bowing down to Musk’s pressure and enshitificating the platform, people will leave for greener pastures as soon as there’s an enticing alternative like they did with X.

CEOs surround themselves with the most conceited and naive of all echo chambers.
They live in an imaginary world in which their backward opinions work better than what has been proven to work time and time again by every research ever done on any subject. They will one day wake up to a blue sky, claim it’s actually pink with green polka dots, and blame “the woke agenda” or some such nonsense when they are obviously proven wrong.

The closest analogy I’ve ever heard for what modern CEOs have become is “Like a bunch of Naked Emperors jerking each other off while shitting all over everyone below them”. As accurate as disgusting.

Don’t let the grabbing hands grab all they can.

My comment wasn’t about how the current laws of Austria are but about how they ought to be in any country.

You win the public vote when you get 51% of all the people who had the right to vote. That includes those who didn’t vote.

If participation is only 50% of the voters, and you get 51% of that participation, you didn’t get 51% of the votes, you got 25.5% of the votes.

And by this, I don’t mean what the current laws consider “winning the public vote” in any particular country. I mean what they need to be for that to be really true.

No.

Getting enough monsters and idiots vote for them is still a bad thing, but that doesn’t mean they won.

“Winning the elections” isn’t being the single force that got the most votes individually.
That’s first-past-the-post bullshit like they have in the US.

Those who win an election in a parliamentary government are those who can form a government.
