I also completely misunderstood the article’s title at first, “Japan’s prime minister is mad about Assassin’s Creed Shadows”

I thought he was loving it.

Oh, I had no idea that Alexandrite could pop the comment section out on the side of the main feed, so you don’t have to leave the front page in order to read comments. That is amazing, I’ve been wanting that ever since moving to Lemmy.

I think that Firefox (and Firefox forks, like Zen Browser) have low-enough marketshare that websites that depend on ad revenue may just kill support for Firefox if Firefox does permit ad blocking

An argument could also be made that Firefox and its forks have low-enough marketshare that websites that depend on ad revenue won’t want to deal with the extra work of keeping those users out.

Yeah, you do have to install the Epic App Store on your phone to claim them. But once you have that you can claim them, without downloading, if you tap install and then immediately cancel the install. That’ll register them to your account, without having them download now.

This has already happened in Denmark, coins are only used for shopping carts

Denmark is not completely cashless. You can still pay in stores with cash and get cash from ATMs and banks.

Edit: And coins and bills are still being produced.

I think they’re referring to this post that OP made 3 days ago: i took an iq test and it was nice and i took my time doing it but the answer was 86, is that bad??

There’s currently 38 comments in that thread, and only 2 of them are from OP, at the time of me writing this comment here.

Thank you so much for sharing the video! I really enjoyed it, and I’m excited to check out more videos from him. I took a quick look at the other videos he’s uploaded, and they look really interesting.

Ahh, I see. Excellent 😁 Thanks a lot for the info! I’m excited to look into it.

That is so interesting! I never would’ve guessed Obsidian for file storage. I’ll have to look into that! Thanks for sharing. Did you use any resources online in setting it up, or did you already know how to go about it?

That sounds really cool! How’d you do it?

Yeah, unfortunately it seems like the dev only has 2 games available on Steam currently. Democratic Socialism Simulator which is 2.39€ and Green New Deal Simulator, which is free. That last one looks like the other side of Oligarchy!

Also available from the official site here: https://www.molleindustria.org/flash/index.html?file=%2Fswf%2Foiligarchy.swf

And now I’m off to look at all the other games available there!

In the same vein, with my family I’ve been using the analogy of “Imagine that all law enforcement had a key to your home, and they could enter at any time and look through your things, but you wouldn’t even know it if they did, or if they took photos or recorded videos of your place to take with them. Their argument is that the only way to keep you and your stuff safe from the bad guys is for the good guys to have access. But because the good guys now have access, it’s also easier for the bad guys to get in, because now there’s all these extra keys to your home out there, which might fall into the hands of the bad guys.”

Not a perfect analogy, but it seems to make them consider the issue from a more personal angle. And for those that argue, “Well, I don’t have anything to hide.”, I usually counter with “Then why do you close your curtains/blinds when you change your clothes or get out of the shower?” With my dad who grew up during the World War II, it also helped to mention that a law like this, once on the books, will not be easy to overturn, and while he might be fine with our current regime having access to all his data, that might not be the case with future authorities.

Haha! Ah, I feel that. We often have to break up her videos into a multiple-days-watch, because of the length and discussions they inspire.

I love me some ContraPoints and Philosophy Tube. Whenever ContraPoints releases a new video, it’s like a big movie night for me and my girlfriend.

Same here. I maxed out the FOV, and that seemed to help.

Interesting, I’d never heard of Kavita, so have just been using Calibre all these years. Did you start out on Kavita, or did you move from Calibre, or another software?

Can’t believe I’d never seen that before. The sequel popped up afterwards, and was also hilarious.

Interesting, and good for the dev!

But it’s early access and 40 euros, so not for me at the moment. Still, for those curious, here’s the direct link to Steam.
