Well shit. I guess I can’t play it anymore. There’s still duotrigordle, waffle, and a million others though. Plus I was starting to see ads on the app.

I’m speaking mainly of the distrust against the public having access for fear that we’d abuse it and not give them a cut. We can’t have access to these things now, but we used to. Regardless of form, regardless of piracy.

It’s more of a move to restrict ownership when you make a purchase, that has a farther reach than just games. I could see this being applied to cars, houses, etc. In that you only rent a license, and don’t actually own anything. I see this as just a first step, and the logic they use to justify it doesn’t make sense.

We used to rent these games from Blockbuster Video! On DVD when we had DVD burners and little to no drm! How did it suddenly not become acceptable?

Mixing water and sand? Is he referring to the Falling Sand game? Just missing wax and fire. What a throwback.

I love shakshuka, but only had it as a dinner. I’ll have to try it as a brunch. My understanding is it’s kind of made with whatever’s on hand, but mine looks like yours. It’s delicious! We try to make naan or some other kind of bread to go with it, as well.

I bought a cheap Vizio, and never connected it or let it connect to anything. All it does is power on, and go to HDMI-1. My pc it connects to does everything else.

If you’re concerned about privacy on your tv, I would recommend migrating away from Roku as well.

Well sure, but the alternative is to stop being the absolute richest people to have ever existed. Surely the existence of all humans is worth less than that!

They will try to buy their way out of it. On an individual level. Water shortage, they’ll pay more for water. They’ll pay top dollar to keep the a/c on, etc. when no amount of money will help and they didn’t plan ahead with Zuckerberg-style bunkers, they’ll just die like the rest of us.

And the billionaires will possibly be killed in their expensive bunkers, if the Fallout series taught us anything.

We won’t understand until it starts happening to us. Not to worry, it’ll hit everyone soon enough. The ones already alive today in our cushy first world insulated biomes will feel it.

Unfortunately, only the ones without the power to make any changes will be the ones that suffer most.

Walmart.com didn’t work for me on FF for about a week, and it did work on edge and chrome (still broken on FF when I disabled all my add ons). However, they fixed it and it works now. I think it was just a problem with the build of the website, and wasn’t intentional because it definitely works now.

I think that’s what’s more likely - temp problems that could affect any browser until their web dev fixes it. Not anything malicious like intentionally blocking a browser.

And then, it’s just Walmart. It’s nothing that really mattered.

To add to that, I very much doubt any big company tests and verifies anything anymore.

Boeing ships planes with missing bolts and proper software, Crowdstrike pushes updates with no testing, we’ve all seen Microsoft push updates that break stuff because there’s no testing, and that’s just what comes to mind.

That’s how they maximize profits - get rid of testing environments, do minimal checks, and have the one guy doing 3 jobs at once just push it to production.

I’ve been in IT for the banking industry for over a decade and I promise you, we’re all a missed cup of coffee or a comma away from another massive outage due to a program or network misconfig.

As long as business culture is set to maximize profits for one quarter, I wouldn’t trust a sales website about “verification” or “disaster recovery backups” any more than I trust a used car salesman.

That goes for Crowdstrike, but also all of their competitors.

I didn’t even know Putin claimed he’d take Kyiv in 3 days until you said something and got all upset about it, brochacho. But now that you made us all look it up, I’m definitely repeating it to everyone, everywhere.

Can you tell me more things that make Putin look like a fool? Since that seems to be what your goal is.
