One would and wouldn’t be surprised. I just abandoned a texas poker app on mobile and it’s sickening to see how many people pay up cheaters just to get billions and even a trillion chips. Then I see them on the table and they always win.
And once news stopped covering it, that’s when shit hit the fan.
And they’ll probably be killed and that’ll be that. Yay, China… /s
Disgusting…
Fuck you for ruining Humble Bundle, IGN, you fucks.
Google search needs to just branch itself off into several micro-search engines. It is useless as a general purpose search engine.
Again, try searching ‘skillet’ and you’ll get more results on the band with the name than the pan itself. Make a media-based micro search engine where it’s nothing but music, movies, shows .etc
But as big as Google is, they won’t do it.
The thing people need to remind themselves is that - it’s subjective. You don’t really know how good a product is, unless it’s in your hands or you’ve got hands-on experience. It sucks, because we can’t demo everything and it forces us to sometimes take financial risks.
It just comes down to what you’re looking for out of a product. Is it X-free from Y chemicals? Does it meet a specific standard you’re looking for?
What pisses me off with reviews sometimes is how vague and scarce a review can be. Most of the time it’s people just going “It works! Thanks!” or “It sucks. Don’t buy!”. Like, I can’t evaluate a product on that alone, I need a little more to work with. And a lot of the time too is that people will just complain in a review of something that isn’t even about the product like “it didn’t arrive on time…0 stars”. How is that relevant to the product? Sounds more like a problem with the shipping service, two different things.
You don’t need to always write reviews spanning 10 paragraphs. But christ, just write more than “it sucks, don’t buy”. Why does it suck? What makes it suck? Come on, details.
Yeah but these days, if someone sets up mobile verification or 2FA, it’s not going to be that easy going through forgot password links. Codes will just be sent to a mobile phone or a recovery address that most likely won’t be seen and it’ll force the individual wanting access to go the route of hacking means.
I used to once believe, that a lot of what is on the internet lasts forever. It was a little naive to think, because over the course of my time online, I’ve seen things that I thought would last, ended up not lasting.
I would sometimes cross-search old usernames of mine because I do get around online. I can only now see my past accounts that I’ve made at least 5 years ago. Only 2 accounts that I recall, are 10+ years old when it used to be a bit more. It tells me that things will shut down eventually and it’ll take down many accounts with it.
Unless you are on platforms hosted by Google or Microsoft by using their services, it’s going to last for a long time because they’re a little too big to just simply vanish overnight.
Your best option is to just back up what you can and if you remember to before you die, make arrangements for preservation purposes with instructions to those you’d want in on it.
You know, people keep asking what America is going to be like 10, 20 or even 50 years from now.
I’m going to tell you that we’ll have some of the most spottiest blotches of our history. It’ll be rooted from the times and events where extremely aggressive opposers to generally anything intellectual have gone on crusades to undermine anything they think is a huge problem, like scientists.
This will be our Burning of the Library of Alexandria. We’ll just have inconclusive data to our researches because of politically charged people.
It’s starting to feel that way. The ISP I use that also serves telephone, only serves VoIP and I’ve had other services before do the same.
Like, why do that when I’ve gotten a Google Voice number for free to use?
Oh cool, so like, piece of shit corporations can just mow down many more forests, rainforests and shit under the guise “but but we got this thing from scientists where we can replace the trees with these cages!”. Fucking hell.
I praise the breakthrough but I don’t think it’s going to be carried out as intended.
Well that ‘protection’ failed you, didn’t it? lol
Funny because THEY were the ones causing the country to go in distress.
Probably has a future? It’s already here.
I understand that things don’t last forever. But and it sounds selfish to say and maybe people might agree, I’d like for these things to last as long as I’m alive to view them whenever I please.
Though I’m really sick of this god damn hot potato shit with the content that’s spread across several streaming platforms. As well as unstable services. “Oh, we’ve shut this down, fuck your purchases” “Oh, we couldn’t sustain this platform, go elsewhere”.
It means a lot to the customer. Doesn’t mean dick to these services.
Steam really did try with the movies idea, it didn’t last too long though. Licensing is a bitch to maintain.

Nobody can believe the shit has gone on so far with Russia and Ukraine but here we are 2 years later.
This conflict with Israel is looking to go on for just as long if not longer.
That’s a fundamental flaw I am seeing with the fediverse, least some instances while understanding it’s not exclusive to just here. When the head of a community isn’t around, it’s free game for those to shit all over it unanswered. It’s frustrating and I had wished there would have been some plans to have backup individuals capable of upholding the values of the community to prevent it from falling down or into the wrong hands.
The fediverse is supposed to be a representative of an alternative escape for those tired of the centralized networks of social media. When we’re dealing with cases like these, it just makes everything look weak and unattractive to would be newcomers just beginning to understand the alternatives of the fediverse.
I would apply myself but really I can admit that I might not always be around either and knowing people are facing issues, it sucks.
There’s some people on here trying to make Lemmy like Reddit was when Reddit’s idea of communicating in 2016 and onwards.
Let’s not let that happen.
