Title is bait, just a regular distributor, like where you would be expected to buy pc parts yourself around wherever you live.
Edit: not saying they aren’t scummy, don’t know anything about them myself but the body of the article shows they clearly chose this as a title instead for a reason

Funny enough, I have noticed some big sites have reversed course on what loads with out JavaScript.
e.g. Amazon is the biggest one I noticed, obvious reasons for them, somewhat functional without JavaScript running (go back a month or so and you couldn’t do shit), though you still have to enable js to go through pictures etc. Not getting any more of my money, but it was definitely funny to see

I talked to a guy like you a while back, and then he also mentioned he used “Brave” and he was surprised when I mentioned the awful things behind it. So perhaps re-evaluating your suggestions and own choices is the first step?

They could, for the time being, do account creation in bulk perhaps at infrequent intervals. Somewhat annoying for users, but would provide at least a bit more obscurity.

Supersweet corn!.. and here I am struggling to find any non-sweet corn, like a peasant or something 😭

That sounds about right.
FWIW sourdough is not terrible after freezing either, as long as your freezer isn’t a moisture sucking drying POS (looking at you home rental fridge freezer), but can’t quite compare to fresh. When we used to buy these in store, we’d generally buy half or quarter of a loaf to eat it while it’s fresh (half was about size of your 1 loaf).
I figured out the freezing part when I had to live on my own and deal with shopping and school, so convenience was necessary, whilst not overpaying for groceries.

Yep that’s the downside, I know fuckall about Linux relatively speaking, so I was lucky CachyOS just ran it and my wired controller got recognized.

You could already run the firmware updater with Proton/Wine though? At least I didn’t have an issue with that, but its obviously not helpful to everyone considering the many flavours of linux. Nice that they recognize and are at least trying to address the issue though

Must be very recent if so, did it that way in TarTube about a month ago or less and worked fine

Knuckleheads (I’ll have to link it because it’s too vague and other garbage shows up in search these days https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCu8t9UfJcTxlnMyu9uBcbTQ ) watch it every so often when we don’t know what to watch and want something “light” and short.

I have however DLed all the episodes already, as I was concerned it may end up getting removed since Google is doing stupid shit.

Being good at some computer games (not just flight simulators) is helpful in getting through the recruitment process. I’d say a mix of having good orientation and implementing and executing a strategy is required at the very least (and sticking to it, which I didn’t do lol), which you definitely get/practice in games.

However the actual training process can cut those numbers dramatically, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they ignored obvious red flags with some of these ‘gamers’ just to pump those numbers up.

1-3m doesn’t sound like much until people realize that it’s likely to be 1-3m of ocean behind it and not just 1 off wave like what you see on the beach
