I dualboot. I run windows whenever I want to use a certain software that is not supported on linux. Other than that, my daily routine and 99% of the games I play/wish to play run on Linux.
Now my main SSD runs Window11 and external one runs Bazzite. Once I finish ripping DVDs/Blurays I got from a friend, I will try to switch OS'es places.
Updoot to that! When I am checking for technical solutions or suggestions on the internet, Lemmy has barely any info while Reddit very often has the answer I need. But when it comes to "your typical social media site", Reddit sucks donkey balls in that while Lemmy gives me nice small community vibes. Reddit is still good as long as you dont step into mainstream subs shit.
They knew about fines and still did nothing and continued to park this way? I mean, yeah. You are in a shitty situation. But knowing that you gonna get fined and keep doing it is fucking weird to me.
Couldn't they widen driveway or something? Or Park somewhere near where parking is allowed?
Even if this is a very specific setup, I still think Meshstatic could be used as an external internet pretty much anywhere if there are enough nodes scattered around. Could be like a LAN network. Also, probably would be used by bad actors too.
I had second to last phone for 5 years before it accidentally slide out of my pocked and I crushed it with a foldable chair. Next phone was also around 4.5 year until January 2025 I was driving back home for 14h and by the end GPS app froze and after restart couldnt transmit AndroidAuto to car's infotainment system anymore. Had to upgrade to g85. If I can go with it next 4-5 years, would be great.
tl;dr 4.5 years on average.
Don't see the point of changing each year. Waste of money and electronics.
Can confirm. Been a mod on one minor social media site. Once banned a group that claimed to be "nudist". More than half of photos were featuring under aged children. This shit happens more often than we think.
Unfortunately, my workplace stuck on Windows due to specific software we utilize. We're not bound to any browsers tho. I find it cool that our sysadmins use only Firefox. (Maybe not anymore with how Mozilla began to push AI in their browser.)
I don't talk to people about MS Office or do not know anyone particular who primarily works in it. But when talks touches writing an essay, spreadsheets or presentation - nobody says "In 365 I do this". It is always Word, Excel, Power Point. Nobody even unifies all these programs as 365. It always is Office. Baffles me why MS haven't figured out that literally no one calls it 365.
If it points to your IP but not your PC - probably won't hold. Same if IP is wrong but fingerprint is fine. But if both are matching, there is no doubt. You know, not many Windows 11 Pro Laptops with intel 125H, 4060m, 1440p 144hz screen, Firefox version, exact same font list, system language, setting preferences exist on the planet. It is a fingerprint in the similar way an actual fingerprint works.
TF2, released in 2007, hasn't had lootboxes till 2010. Valve was not even the first game to have them.
FIFA was 1 year ahead, but not the first one either.
Also, TF2's lootboxes are not the same as Dota2 and CSGO/CS2. TF2 weapons have an actual change of gameplay to them while Dota/CS has just skins. Not to mention, you can get all weps in TF2 by just playing the game.
I think lootboxes and child gambling should be the same category if we are talking about steam.
Not so much of an actual gambling imo. All you can know is that you will pull something out of a fixed list. But that is all the gambling part. At least with cases you know for a fact that you going to get something. Actual gambling happens off-site with skins that are traded using bot accounts. These services are actual gambling sites with games and chances to win something or lose everything.
Valve probably can ban skin trading and then we're done. Also, they probably can ban skin market while at it. But, I bet steam market brings tons of money. And, it is not like they are responsible for children gambling skins out off-site. Also, Valve did made restrictions on gambling. This month Valve has banned skin gambling logos/ads on tournament teams jerseys. And also a restriction that would render your newly purchased skins non-tradable for a week. Drop parental control in the mix - children wouldn't be able gamble anymore.
I am not gonna buy it. But fuck man, I am exited as hell for what is going to happen with PC gaming and OSes. I feel that thanks to Valve we going to finally break MS' iron grip on OS market.
I do not think ads would keep tracking you though browser fingerprinting. Maybe just a little.
But, say, you are being prosecuted and your traffic is being looked at. No one can defend you if a fingerprint of your browser shows up somewhere where it shoulnd't have been. You being a unique one with this fingerprint means that nobody but your machine accessed that IP address.
I begin to believe that we are here in our own bubble. Most lemmy users are against AI implementation. One can see tons of news articles that state that AI implementation failed in many businesses. According to many here, they either expect AI bubble to burst soon or believe that it will do so in near future. Literally everyone would say that putting AI in firefox is a terrible idea that will stray more users off the browser.
If they fear losing user base by not implementing AI, I doubt they are deaf to all the tiny community they have. That is 100% not the "fear" of missing out. That is very likely money grab that was paid by major AI company(ies). They cant be so much blind that they would destroy their community just to not to miss out on AI craze (that also likely already had passed).
There is a sizeable amount of people who wish to stay off chromium and avoid AI entirely. Not like FF has a major % of userbase in the internet. They could've cater to those people by evading AI entirely and probably would gain much bigger user base by doing that. Spread of word and all. Why would they go the opposite way and stray even more people away from their already tiny core user amount? Doesn't make sense to me. Did they pair with OpenAI or any other AI company who paid them monnies to be brainless idiots?
