RecluseRamble,

That’s what I never understood. Oedipus only fucked his mum because he didn’t know who she really was. So, technically a motherfucker but it makes absolutely no sense as a psychology template (in my layman’s eyes st least).

RecluseRamble,

You don’t need to go crypto to get there though

You never do. Its only use case is a payment system for online crime. And even for that many criminals prefer gift cards because it’s such a hassle to explain crypto-tokens to your victims.

RecluseRamble,

No, it’s not useful as a cash substitute because of its hilarious inefficiency.

EA wants to place in-game ads in its full-price AAA games, again (www.techspot.com)

EA has tried this before, with predictable results. In 2020, EA Sports UFC 4 included full-screen ads for the Amazon Prime series The Boys that would appear during ‘Replay’ moments. These were absent from the game when it launched, with EA introducing the ads about a month later, thereby preventing them from being...

RecluseRamble,

Oh, it won’t be exclusive EA-exclusive enshittification, I’m sure.

EA is looking at putting in-game ads in AAA games — 'We'll be very thoughtful as we move into that,' says CEO (www.tomshardware.com)

EA CEO Andrew Wilson confirmed the company is considering putting ads in traditional AAA games — titles that players purchase up-front for around $70 apiece. In the Q&A part of EA’s latest earnings call, Eric Sheridan from Goldman Sachs asked Wilson about dynamic ad insertion in traditional AAA games. Wilson said,...

RecluseRamble,

Of course there is another choice: you can continue to not buy their crap regardless of what they do.

RecluseRamble,

But then you have to move all the time. A pile of bodies might scare off bike thieves.

RecluseRamble,

I don’t get your point. They give food away for free and they choose what and when. What’s wrong with that, exactly? That their choices correlate with their religion? Well, duh.

RecluseRamble,

Even excluding X.org: KDE worse than GNOME… pff, speak for yourself.

RecluseRamble,

While they have good stats evading physical, they are vulnerable to poison, fire and lightning attacks.

RecluseRamble,

I love the subtitle. The fact that it was

A debate over the most efficient way to watch a cult classic TV series’ episodes, in every possible order

makes it completely believable.

RecluseRamble,

All the consoles that came out through the 90s and early 2000s felt like distinct eras to me.

Because they were. Back then games changed drastically with more powerful systems. Today, you sometimes have the same game available for multiple console generations.

RecluseRamble,

Isildur turned invisible by putting on the ring, and dove into a river to escape a band of orcs

Happened in the movies too, AFAIR.

And in the books it was a big thing that Tom Bombadil did not become invisible when he put on the ring. Invisibility seems to be a core feature.

RecluseRamble,

females

They are called girls, you know.

RecluseRamble,

That’s classism!

RecluseRamble,

Possibly. They didn’t say how young they were, so I assumed teens, not 30s.

RecluseRamble,

Somehow Windows struggles with file i/o and always has been. When copying stuff to floppy disks in Win 3 or 95 the progress bar steadily grew to 100% and since floppies were loud, you could hear that the actual copying only started then and you had to wait longer staring at 100% than the progress bar before.

RecluseRamble,

But you would edgily shoot you in the foot!

RecluseRamble,

Would it touch it? I thought snakes only ate living food.

RecluseRamble,

then what’s stopping people from just going/staying on reddit?

Since your account age correlates with the Reddit mod exodus, I’m pretty sure you know why people here don’t just stay there.

RecluseRamble,

Websites offer that but you can usually find those in your favorite package manager Downloading software from shady websites is the Windows way of doing things.

Now, to be clear: this discussion is about having to use the terminal and that’s what people answered. You still find so many resources referring to the terminal because it’s often just the most convenient and effective way to do something.

I certainly prefer it over clicking through settings or running dedicated tools to do something that could be solved by a single line. And I was an exclusive Windows user like 5 years ago.
