Not everybody wants to self host every single piece of software they use.
- Comment on People who do not specify units of measurement in international contexts 6 days ago:
You literally pulled up a cherry picked list of where there are discrepancies.
The entire point of this thread from the comment you replied to, is that ‘cup’ is an inexact unit of measurement that varies. My list is providing examples, I’m not seeing the issue here.
Also, would you look at that: almost all of them have converged to US customary or 250mL, which is within the tolerance for error.
Except for Latin America, the UK, most of Asia, parts of Europe, etc. 🙄

I like how you just pulled that sentence out of context from the description for ONE country and ignored the dozen other countries with different measurements.

Seeing as he obtained it legally, albeit by accident, I think it would be whoever sold the hard disk that’s at fault.

What is it gonna be the next time? Idk, I can’t remember when I last bought an ‘AAA’ game. If gamers want to be that outraged, vote with their wallets. All these complaints and yet they end up buying the game anyway…

It’s an ad. Who cares if it’s a year.

The extended look will also be available at 9pm ET on YouTube, but for six hours, it will essentially be paywalled behind a Netflix subscription.
Cry me a river. First world problems, jeez.

Good news regarding your ‘vibe check detection’. Like so many other people, it’s no better than random guessing. Refer to the other comment with evidence these are images from real people.

Right? I configured my mobile keyboard to access them AFTER all the LLM stuff — prior to that I had never really paid attention to the fact it was different from hyphens.
- Comment on Are datacenters in space more lucrative than on earth? 2 weeks ago:
That’s not the point. I agree space data centers are dumb. The point is it’s not as impossible sounding to many people as you make it out to be.

Yeah, you’re being an ass.
- Comment on Lemmy or Piefed? 2 weeks ago:
There are some piefed instances that have forked and rolled back the controversial decisions by the dev. Take a look at quokk.au.

TBF, USB C is an example of that approach actually working.
- Comment on Sony doubles down. Only responds to their investors, not the consumers. I've never bought a digital console title. That will continue. 3 weeks ago:
Realistically, you’ll always be able to download the offline installers from the high seas anyway.
will I still be able to play the games that way
Most of them will probably work, but there’s no real guarantee. Depends on whether the installers dumped critical files into your system / user folders.

It depends on whether drm is enabled. If it is not, then the game files on the disc would work. It is the publisher’s choice whether to enable drm.

You have 1.1k posts. You joined Nov 24. Do the math.

- Comment on Why do we see Oil as always being here for humans? Isn't drilling like taking water out of a swimming pool? Sooner or later your going to run out of water. 4 weeks ago:
I take it you’re too young to remember when ‘peak oil’ was a prophecy of doom, about how we’d run out of oil and civilization would decline. Today with green tech it’s come to mean something else, about when we’re going to significantly wean ourselves off oil.
- Comment on Ate there more galaxies in the universe, than stars that can be seen from Earth with the naked eye, or with a telescope? 4 weeks ago:
The whole universe? Absolutely. Even the smallwst infinity is larger than any countable sum.
Sorry, I don’t understand. Surely the number of galaxies is not infinite?

That was hilarious.
Do other condiments have pale imitators like Miracle Whip and Just Mayo and Vegenaise? I don’t think so!

Yeah, Valve is really having trouble moving those units. Never mind that they sold out in a couple days and have waitlists till next year
- Comment on If a famous person or character's likeness is copyrighted and you need to license it to use it, could you find a real-life lookalike and say you modelled your character off of *that* person instead? 5 weeks ago:
The actual celebrities are probably smart enough to not want to invoke the Streisand effect.
