h265 is really expensive

Do you mean, the licensing, or the implementation?

Was the “another” one any good?

Any game that has a Linux version on GoG, I get it there.
Yes, it is 5 times the price and I pay it.

So I got the mail from GoG too and decided to finally see what “slavic” means.

The Slavs or Slavic people are groups of people who speak Slavic languages. Slavs are geographically distributed throughout the northern parts of Eurasia; they predominantly inhabit Central Europe, Eastern Europe, Southeastern Europe, and Northern Asia, though there is a large Slavic minority scattered across the Baltic states and Central Asia, and a substantial Slavic diaspora in the Americas, Western Europe, and Northern Europ…

IDK maybe I have been desensitised to more subtle topics after enduring more threatening problems all these years, but this seems just another term similar to “Gothic”, “Nordic” and the likes. What’s the problem over here?

And while “The End of the Sun” made me at least read through the page thanks to the ‘Tux’ symbol under its name, I won’t have the time for another Skyrim, so skipping this.

Well, perhaps if they just let me normally use it and transfer data without an internet connection and perhaps supported KDE Connect (considering their price tag), I might have considered buying one instead of just improvising a water resistant cover on a raspberry pi camera.

I think I should start checking if a poster has a history of regularly deleting posts/comments, before trying to give a useful answer.

Profile picture checks out for someone looking to track an addiction. :P

Making payments on the web easier (and less tied to the whims of Visa et al) probably also needs to happen.

Yeah, this has stopped me from buy stuff quite a few times. Also why I don’t have a Proton account.

In other words, if one doesn’t have power, they aren’t a pacifist, just weak.
Only once they have the ability to decimate the enemy, do they get to claim that they didn’t use said ability.

dog robot maintainer

What maintainer?
There’s no maintenance. You just scrap the thingy and make a new one.

No sad puppy face, either?

Ok so I read the article and turns out there are no proper attacking capabilities yet, but it is possible that the control AI which is receiving all video feed will raise and alarm on finding something unexpected, assuming the programing is done properly.

multiple football fields
four times the size of Manhattan’s Central Park

Anything other than metric.

Additional features:

industrial inspection, site mapping and construction monitoring

Turns out they have some actual utility.
But cameras can’t smell well enough.

thoughtcrime

Yeah, thoughtcrime is pretty much BS and there better be no laws about it.
I mean, how many times have you had intrusive thoughts about stomping the person you are talking to, without any particular reason and how many times have you actually done that?
Then there was this guy who actually stomped on my pre-fractured toe and it is pretty easy to distinguish from a thought crime, so I see no grey area here.

So, no MG mount?

But:

• That won’t get you millions increase in investor funding, which also lets you increase your pay-cheque
• You need to buy them from actual dog trainers, which are people and will eventually stop selling to you once you either become too evil for them or you murder them
• They are a supply chain risk as once you eventually piss off the dog trainer by 4x-ing his electricity bills and getting your AI to tell the govt. to shoot his family, he can then bypass the dogs using his smell, because they would be familiar with him.

Won’t they be commanded to also attack all bears and horses?

I don’t see why it matters whether the rapist is or isn’t a paedophile.
He raped a child. That makes him a CSA offender.

Is there even laws specifically to deal with paedophiles rather than people who rape children?

Kids simply make an easy target.

This is the most relevant point I have seen to the current scene, so far.

Also, boarding schools.

Reduction in real pictures being distributed is not a real indicator of reduction in CSA and CSE either.

A simple anecdote to show it:
How many pictures of Epstein with children are in distribution? How many for his clients?
vs the actual lives he and his gang destroyed.

The small timers are easier to catch and cull with traditional policing and internet restrictions/surveillance is going to do nothing to them in the face of what it will do to absolutely everyone else.

As far as the company in the post goes, better of letting them sell in your country, so you can easily put their customers on a watchlist, rather than be unknown until they start harming real people.
