If it’s true they the malicious game has been available for a month then steam has some blame.
- Comment on Philadelphia neighborhood group approves $25,000 to fight bike lanes 1 week ago:
Absolutely yes, if it wasn’t for the buses we would never go again.
The first time we went, we had a normal push wheel chair. The walk from our hotel to the Louvre was about 25 minutes. But Paris is so damn hilly. I was dieing from pushing my wife around. We would turn a corner to find the path ends with a set of stairs so I groan and we turn around to find another route.
Then we saw a bus turn up, lower itself down to meet the curb and a solo wheel chair user ride on. This changed everything and allowed us to enjoy the rest of the trip without killing me.

My wife uses a power chair (cerebral palsy) and we love going to Amsterdam as it’s so easy to ride around.
Paris is also very good for disabled visitors but got a different reason: a great bus network that supports chairs (but the metro is gated by stairs)

- Comment on How does the Chinese government even work 1 week ago:
I don’t know. However I do see China able to pull their country together and achieve more as people are aligned, be it forced or not, having a common goal allows the country to do things other countries struggle with. Like the push for in house technologies and cheap renewable energy.
I feel like Western countries are grid locked in turmoil and in-fighting which prevents progress.

Lemmy loves Linux and rightly so, but it hates Windows even more.
Example, this is a no-subject memes community, and you’ll find plenty of anti-Windows stuff here. And the actual linuxmemes community sometimes feels like it could be renamed to hatewindowsmemes.

Also nmap uses fingerprinting on port scans to identify devices. Or attempt to, a lot of the time it doesn’t know, or says “Linux”

If Oasis is beyond your line for what is allowed to be called music then your music choices must be small indeed.
- Comment on The signatures are still coming and it's already making an impact 2 months ago:
The argument there is if a game is left online with no studio to care for it then they believe they would be liable for community content.
I don’t think it applies to offline games at all.

Then why the outrage from this news story then?
I also boycott epic. Steam is the way. But for reasons that steam is different to epic.

This isn’t exclusive to epic. Steam has had games removed as well.

- Comment on 10 to 100 Times Faster than a Starlink Antenna, and Cheaper Than Fiber: Taara Unveils a Laser Internet That Could Shatter the Status Quo 3 months ago:
I don’t think this technology is intended to be used for global internet. But for giving access to a remote town, this is many magnitudes lesser in cost than a satellite.
A brief internet search tells me that a Starlink satellite is ~$1 million apiece, and lasts 5 years. With the additional cost of the launch the annual cost is ~$300,000 per year per satellite. You can work out the cost for 10 masts and tell me that its much cheaper.
From a consumer perspective, Starlink is amazing. Fast, relatively cheap, available anywhere. From a labour and material cost, its incredibly expensive. If a town can be serviced by cable, wireless, this new laser or whatever then the economical and environmental impact (in terms of materials) are a fraction.
Whilst masts will face the same prejudice as windmills for destroying landscapes, Starlink has already been causing issues with stargazing and night sky pollution. And this is only the first commercial venture for low-orbit internet. I can imagine there shall eventually be multiple of these setups, each with thousands of satellites (Starlink is at 7k+ now I think) which will only exacerbate the issues.
The point being, that having other technologies with overlapping abilities isn’t a bad thing. Choice is good.
- Comment on 10 to 100 Times Faster than a Starlink Antenna, and Cheaper Than Fiber: Taara Unveils a Laser Internet That Could Shatter the Status Quo 3 months ago:
Hang on that’s not a fair comparison. So you will need to deploy some masts to reach remote areas, got it.
Satellite internet then needs to fire a satellite into space to cover the area of which now there are thousands of then And the satellite has a shelf life and will eventually burn up in the atmosphere requiring repeated deployments.
Masts sounds easier.

Meta have always done this. Years ago when I used to use Facebook they would constantly change privacy settings so my posts or whatever were visible to my more then direct friends.
