People love to dunk on boomers

It’s just thinly veiled ageism.

Now now, don’t be getting all reasonable. This is the internet after all!

Great quote, thanks!

More importantly for the future success of Linux was that the X11 system was ported to it, making 1992 the year of the Linux desktop.

lmao

Good read, thanks!

IQ testing is pseudoscience. It’s one of the preferred methods of the far right to try to differentiate between races for that very reason. Pseudoscience is a lot more malleable for their purposes than the settled science that says race doesn’t exist biologically.

Having a “high IQ” is only proof that you’re good at IQ tests.

It’s an old meme/troll ;)

I’m pretty hyped for FH6 but I’ll wait a couple of days after release to get it, just in case ;)

If you want to test FH4 pirated (you can’t buy it anymore for licensing reasons) before shelling out for FH6 just DM me and I’ll give you details on where to get a good copy and how to set it up on Linux (just got done with that a few days ago, even have multiplayer working).

Shhh, don’t tell them that buying indie games helps indie devs even more!

I only like arcade racers and I love Forza Horizon. The online components of entering races with other players you can totally ignore. The open world events (Forzathon, if it’ll still be called that) are pretty fun and collaborative rather than competitive.

If you like having a wide variety of cars to drive, a bunch of different race types (road, street, dirt and cross country racing) and great looking scenery then it’ll definitely appeal to you IMO. There’s also open world stuff like danger signs (stunt jumps), drift zones and speed traps/zones which I think are pretty fun and a nice break from races.

It plays great with a controller, all you need is accelerate/brake/turn/handbrake and you can complete most content (maybe not drift zones).

FYI if it’s like FH4/5 it defaults to online but there’s no need to turn it off as other players can’t get in your way and there’s not that many people on each map anyway.

TBF there ain’t much to pick between them when it comes to business practices xD

Is it owned by WotC now? I thought it was Games Workshop.

A good one yeah :)

They did however already make an OK one with a terrible DLC strategy (there’s €200 of DLC).

Yeah, I know. It’s barely even half a game at that point though so what’s the point?

Total War Warhammer 1/2/3! I hate RTS combat. If these games were turn based they’d be amongst my most played.

Try reading the article next time

Since his daughter set up the account with an 18+ setting, it’s possible that the field corresponded to her self-reported age. But Frey could see that Discord updated the setting twice: once two days after the hack, and again after her account was restored. Each time, she was marked as not underage, despite support forum messages that repeatedly informed Discord she was 13.

Seemingly, that meant that the platform could create “a detailed behavioral ad profile” on the teen, even though its internal system had categorized her in the 13–17 age group, Frey said.

Samantha Baldwin, a policy and research staff technologist for the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), told Ars that Discord’s hesitancy to formally update the age setting is telling. Frey’s case shows why privacy advocates believe that age verification laws aren’t about “protecting children” but about “surveillance and censorship,” she said.

“That they would not recategorize a minor’s account demonstrates this clearly,” Baldwin said. “Discord is in the business of making money by selling their users’ personal data. They are implementing ‘age verification’ to meet regulatory compliance and to collect more data about their customers, not protect children.”

EFF has long warned against age-gating the Internet, opposing the mass collection of IDs that might block users from accessing platforms and viewing age estimation technology as ineffective and privacy-invasive.

I have found Kavita to be excellent.

TIL, thank you.
