ahal,

I just enabled it and in my library at least it’s only games that I purchased on Steam but they go through some other launcher

ahal,

The original scenes didn’t happen in black and white. I’d argue this is even more accurate to the original (real life).

ahal,

To all the people defending her, how is this different than just pumping and driving away? You could always pump first and pay inside later, and it works on the honour system. In this case she clearly intentionally circumvented paying.

ahal,

Yeah… PC gaming does not imply keyboard and mouse. You can use whatever controllers you want.

It also doesn’t imply sitting on an office chair in front of a monitor.

I use my PC to game on the TV, from the couch with a controller all the time.

ahal,

Unlike Game of Thrones, the source material for this is finished. Game of Thrones went to shit once they ran out of source material.

ahal,

Yeah, the character development and dialogue is pretty bad. I rave about it for all the cool ideas it exposed me to. I value that more highly than pretty much anything else. To each their own :)

ahal,

Vertical tabs with named groups that are window specific, are a life saver as you work across projects

I agree a native experience can’t be beat, but have you tried using Simple Tab Groups combined with github.com/ranmaru22/firefox-vertical-tabs ? It’s a pretty damn good combo.

ahal,

You can still hop into a 64 player BF1942 server at most times, even though you can’t even install it in EA app anymore

ahal,

This has nothing to do with technology, it’s just petty politics. Legault thinks this will play well with voters in strategic ridings, and that’s all this is about.

anders, to programmerhumor

Stupid people always say no

@programmerhumor

ahal,

No.

And that doesn’t make me stupid because there exist times I say yes.

The New York Times should not be considered a reliable source of journalism.

The New York Times is one of the newspapers of record for the United States. However, it’s history of running stories with poor sourcing, insufficient evidence, and finding journalists with conflicts of interest undermines it’s credibility when reporting on international issues and matters of foreign policy....

ahal,

I’m not American and I almost never read the Times, so I don’t have first hand experience. But I hear the same rhetoric about outlets here in Canada.

My take is that yes, outlets can have bias on certain issues, but that doesn’t mean we should write them off completely. Trust in media is at an all time low, journalism is struggling to survive. There’s no media outlet in the world that doesn’t make the kinds of mistakes that you outline here. The key is how do they respond to them after the fact. Do they issue corrections? How quickly? Where do they put them?

Some of your ‘evidence’ also doesn’t seem like journalistic malpractice. For example, are they obfuscating poor sources, or not revealing an anonymous source? The latter is not malpractice. The former doesn’t sound bad either… Who decides if a source is poor? Maybe the source didn’t have much to contribute so that’s why there wasn’t much detail on their background. I’m not arguing that you’re wrong, just that as an outside observer that point doesn’t seem very bad.

Anyway, I do think it’s important to be aware of any biases in the media we consume, so conversations like this are important. But my fear is that if the conclusion is to wholesale stop trusting the media anytime they make a mistake or a bias is revealed (I.e all media outlets), we’re going to be even more fucked than we already are.

ahal,

Regarding the WMD thing, was it proven the Times was aware of the mistakes and published anyway? Or were they also deceived by the government like everyone else?

ahal,

Good context to have!

I’m not commenting on this particular case because I’m uninformed, the Times very well could have completely shit the bed here.

But one difference between a news outlet and an every day citizen is that a news outlet pretty much has to report on what the government’s position is. If the white house claims there are WMD’s, that’s something the public needs to know. Of course the language around how that gets presented is everything!

It sounds like there was too much blind trust in that statement and the language didn’t leave enough room for scepticism in this particular case. But it’s worth remembering that in other cases there’s a difference between towing the line and reporting words as a statement of fact. The fact being that the words were said but not necessarily that the words are true.

ahal,

NPM is the way. SSL without ever needing to edit a config file.

ahal,

Out of curiosity, what negative affect would someone else cheating on their progression have on me? Like is it just a sense of injustice?

ahal,

They probably judged how many people care accurately, but misjudged how deeply those that do care. And how much more likely those people are to leave a review.

ahal,

But if you already have a license they aren’t changing the agreement with you? I also don’t think there was ever any agreement that everyone else would get the same agreement as you

ahal,

There’s nothing special you need to do to support Unraid beyond providing an image.

OP is likely talking about getting it added to the Community Applications app store, but tbh if you don’t use Unraid yourself it’s probably better if someone else who does maintains the template.

ahal,

Here’s my headline: Why obsessing over battery degradation is unhealthy and you should just do whatever is easiest for you

ahal,

Honestly doesn’t matter how old you are, nothing makes you grow as a person like kids.
