Them: Trans people are icky. Kill them all.

That’s the whole thing. It doesn’t matter that trans people aren’t mentioned in the bible. It doesn’t matter that the medical science supports gender-affirming and transition-related care. It doesn’t matter that trans people almost never have an actual advantage in sports. It doesn’t matter that being trans is not a ‘social contagion’. It doesn’t matter that trans people aren’t hurting anyone.

They want to eliminate all trans people. A Montana republican just put up a bill to ban adult trans medical care. That’s trans genocide. Trump banning trans youth care nation-wide is trans genocide.

Republicans are fucking Nazis. Straight up.

Do you mean Hacker News?

If they completely break the payments system, does that mean government employees stop getting paid?

Like no more federal government? No more ICE? No more military? No more FBI?

If you want to support a creator, give them a quarter and block the ads. Seriously. That quarter is worth more than any ad revenue they will ever get from you watching their videos.

Most democrats at the federal level are complicit in a lot of what’s going on, including Musk’s DOGE treasury crap (crimes?) despite him not being a government employee or confirmed by the senate. Hell, most congressional democrats JUST in the last year voted for the legislation that enables ICE to indefinitely detain any suspected immigrant suspected of committing any crime. No due process. No actual crime needed.

Screw voting for democrats. Democrats voted to let the government round up the people I love to be deported or tortured. If we still have the power to vote, vote for leftists. Or vote for left-of-average-democrat people like Bernie.

This might work if all major news networks and social media weren’t propaganda machines of the maga regime. The administration will blame immigrants or democrats or trans people for every hardship that republican voters experience.

As is tradition.

I have two that are constantly hooked up to my mac! One for ripping and burning CDs and DVDs (which I still do regularly, in fact I ripped five audio CDs just today) and one for ripping/burning 4k/blu-ray. I occasionally use both at the same time to make copies of discs, but my need for that is for part of a hobby project.

High seas is still the best way to experience these games!

Also the timeline usually matters. Mod methods can change as game patches are released. Mods can have mod patches. Mods can be deprecated for new mods or mod methods. Mods can have other dependencies. Install order sometimes matters.

I think OP is right; mods can be messy, complicated, and a lot of work.

What incentivizes you to pay money for early access games? Wouldn’t you rather wait until it’s done and have a better experience?

Do I pay full price for games before they are available to play and are most likely not going to be finished upon release? No.

Preordering anything with no real or artificial scarcity doesn’t really make financial sense. It’s a predatory sales tactic to get people to part with their money sooner, in this case before customers have a chance to use software that is pretty much unreturnable. Gaming publishers love digital preorders because some customers end up paying full price for games they don’t even like and can’t even resell.

Sadly, for at least the last ten years or more, most non-online games are best played a few years after release date when they’ve had their bugs fixed or their ‘complete edition’ released.

If they had critical thinking skills, we wouldn’t have Trump as president.

I don’t understand why you’re getting downvoted. Labor laws in China are shit. A ton of people there work way more than 40 hours a week for less money than US Americans get, live on company “campuses”, and have suicide nets.

Blue Harvest for Mac will continually clean your removable drives of these files.

I encourage you to take a college course from a non-religious university that covers any of the above subjects.

The Sound Guys do a good job of breaking down LDAC, however the main point of criticism I have about the article is that they say that LDAC isn’t great because most smartphones don’t auto-choose the highest 990 bitrate. That doesn’t seem like an LDAC problem, that seems like a phone problem. My phone is admittedly a Sony, but it always chooses the highest bitrate first. There’s even a setting to force it to use 990.

The other criticism I have is that the sound guys kind of overlook the fact that, when your phone is in your pocket, it’s close enough to the headphones that you’ll almost always get the 990 bitrate. And the sound quality at 990 is fantastic. I cannot tell a difference between it and a wired connection for CD-quality FLACs. Even the 660 stepdown bitrate of the LDAC codec is really good.
