pocket I never used. I found it ugly and just s violation of privacy as it moved a service that should be local only, to external webservers. I can see why it’s finally had the plug pulled

No idea, I know that my autocorrect kept insisting that was used instead of asterisk so it likely is

Personally I generally agree with this statement. But there’s a very big Asterix on it.

The protests didn’t work due to it being violent alone, they were heavily supported by peaceful protests. Violent protest will only work if you have the support of the majority. Violent protest does not work with making meaningful policy change. Policies made out of fear are very sloppy and generally not permanent. However is very good at reaching the news and spreading awareness. It is a short term solution to a long term problem and it very easily can end up harming the chances of meaningful change happening more than gaining so it’s a massive double-edged sword.

Peaceful protesting is more effective at making permanent change however is very difficult to raise awareness on, this is especially more so with news media and social media becomming more and more corporatized and starting to actually suppress any type of news that isn’t considered extreme or it doesn’t follow the parent company’s ideology.

If and this is a big if a protest is able to make it into the new cycle and have prolonged coverage, peaceful protesting that ends up impeding day-to-day operations such as a general strike or traffic shutdowns, will have much better odds at succeeding then said same operations via violent means. It’s just the world is increasingly starting to criminalize said actions of peaceful protest, which is a very dangerous action. When you take away the humans ability to have a voice, when they become lost at what they /can/ do, it becomes dangerous because at that point all you have is violence.

any site worth their salt would remove these reviews as they aren’t based off the product posted since they subbed items

they just need to outlaw subscription based services on services that don’t need it.

And no continuous support is not a valid subscription reason, if you want to charge support separate that’s fair to do but this pay 60$ a year “because it’s a continuous development” needs to go away.

Same with the “pay a rent for a building”, it’s just money drain. Being a landlord should not be allowed to be for profit, and should be heavily regulated. If you wanna rent? Sure, but at max it should be equivalent to costs the building has, and restricted to only apartment complexes. So annoying that you can’t find property anymore to actually /own/ because a handful of rental companies can just write a blank check and buy it all.

is that Dvorak I spy?

I’ll do you one better. The target redcard credit card doesn’t allow non-standard special chars, max I think it was 12 chars and gets pissy at using known SQL special chars. If it wasn’t for the fact it required a credit check prior to getting to that screen I would have ran so hard.

What’s even more annoying is their password field says that it does support that, but if you try via the mobile app it errors out

you absolutely should not be hashing client side. You need to securely transmit the password to the server where it is hashed. You do not want clients knowing /how/ the password is salted/hashed. this lowers your security overall.

let me just get on that real quick 😂 I’m sure that the lack of people engaged in it doesn’t mean it’s hard or anything.

man if only it was that easy

I’ve used two headsets that done it, the Arctis Pro Wireless and turtle beach stealth pro, I highly recommend the Arctis Pro wireless over the turtle beach though as the Arctis Pro wireless was a seemless swap, where the turtle beach has a 10-15 second delay swapping battery.

my headset does this, I’m spoiled by it and I’ll never go back. I’m fully ok with putting up with some of the issues with the headset exclusively cause of this feature. It’s so nice

honestly agreed, I don’t mind the fast charging, but I would love removable batteries. Even if it meant shorter life spans. like I used to be able to pay 20-30$ on a battery and replace it, but now you need adhesive and a heat gun

the last paragraph took this post from “that sucks” to solidly “yea this didn’t happen” territory It’s just more pro corporate slop meant to keep people on the platform instead of going out and looking for local jobs or going to actual websites to find open positions

this just here, we don’t have many roundabouts but, the amount of drivers who think it’s a race to get from point a to point b is unreasonable. I’m not about to enter the roundabout as car c if the pink or yellow car is flying with no indicators.

ChilledChaos on Twitch/YouTube, he plays variety games and I love the social deception games most. His friend group is also really cool so I watch a few of them as well.

I’m fully okay with them doing so, but they have to disclose what they’re doing so. Like the fact that the review didn’t disclose that they were an employee is very sketchy to me.

Steam is one of the few apps that I’m fully okay with having on my phone and using for 2fa. I especially like that when I go to login it’s like Discord where I can scan a QR code to confirm from the App instead of having to type in a number that expires. Like it would be nice to have the other functionality as well but I’m content with their current system

Okay so where’s the value here? Like I’m sure the phone numbers are worthwhile but including the 2fa codes with the phone number doesn’t seem like worthfull information, unless steam doesn’t properly have OTP setup and they don’t expire in a timely manner, but I’m willing to bet that a company like steam has a properly configured system

airplanes are struck by lightning all the time. They are designed against it, something wasn’t done right that caused the issue you are describing. A plane should not be effected by the strike to the point it’s no longer easily operational.

Being said, airlines try to avoid it when possible as it can lead to costly inspections and downtime to verify it’s still flight ready.

Not to mention the “see this big alert saying this isn’t safe? Well for this one time it /is/ safe so do so” While curbing the mentality of “oh it was safe last time so it must be safe this time”
