Gentleman who has this on their 2024 bingo card
  • You can get all the classic C&Cs on Steam and you can play a good chunk of them online using CNC online. I agree though, we need a new C&C Generals.

    Why does “weird” work? Republicans love to appeal to a supposed silent majority. The new insult helps intervene.
  • As a bisexual British person I absolutely support the idea of returning queer to it's classic meaning. There's also the option of just using both meanings. Context will establish which one you mean.

    The Republicans are a right queer bunch, unlike my fellow queers in the LGBTQ+ community.

    New Samsung phones block sideloading by default
  • Fair points. I was mostly thinking of situations like downloading using a separate device, writing to a usb drive or SD card and installing via that. Downloading an installer and using it is just downloading without using an app store.

    New Samsung phones block sideloading by default
  • I've always took side-loading to mean installing from local storage, as opposed to downloading from remote storage. As far as I'm concerned downloading from a third party app store should not be treated as side-loading.

    Porque no los Dos?
  • As opposed to your stance which is fuck people who don't want to have their language massively rewritten. I think it's far more reasonable to make individual accomodations for the non-binary folks that we interact with and accept that language has limitations and can't be changed overnight.

    Nigel Farage has milkshake thrown over him after launching general election campaign
  • It kind of is actually. Throwing a milkshake isn't likely to cause much harm, and would probably result in an assault charge. Throwing acid can cause serious disfigurement and possibly death, and a far more serious charge.

    You can condemn her actions without the hyperbole. This happened before and it didn't result in a wave of acid attacks and I've no reason to think this time will be different.

    Teen rapper accidentally kills himself on social media video after pointing gun at his head and pulling trigger
  • Do you know that he didn't take a gun safety course? For all we know, he could have had plenty of knowledge on how to safely handle a firearm and simply decided to ignore it for the sake of looking cool. The fact is that no amount of safety training can stop someone who decides to do something stupid.

    I absolutely agree with your last point though. There should be extensive training in how to handle a firearm safely required before someone can buy a gun.

    Sony does not remove purchase restrictions from Helldivers 2 on steam and also adds them to Ghost of Tsushima
  • I'm pretty sure internet means internetwork, as in between networks. There's also intranets, which are limited access web networks.

    You are right that geoblocking really shouldn't be a thing, it's existence is thanks to varying laws and regulations, and most annoyingly, IP distribution contracts.

    Israeli troops shoot and kill a Palestinian shepherd reading the Quran on his land
  • None of that relates to this murder as based on the description of settler concerns, which are more of an issue in the West Bank rather than Gaza, I'm guessing that this happened in the West Bank. (Where Hamas is not the government.)

    Whether the murderers are IDF or settler militants is immaterial to the point of this being an unjustified killing of a Palestinian shepherd living in the West Bank, who is rather unlikely to be a Hamas fighter or involved in the 7th October attack.

    Happy onion
  • I think I may have watched too many 'unwholesome' videos, but to me that face could be seen in a different way.

    Definitely a cute and happy face though. The onion is just having a great time.

    Israeli forces surrounded and opened fire at Gaza’s al-Shifa hospital
  • Actually Hammas is spread by contact. If you touched someone who lived next door to someone who's family dog was given to them by someone who had a family member join Hamas, then you become Hamas too.

    The only way to innoculate yourself against this pathogen is by loudly and vigorously condemning Hamas for at least two minutes a day.

    It should however be noted that condemning Hamas, and having absolutely no affiliation with any of their members provides no protection against Israeli forces mistaking you for a Hamas fighter and subsequently shooting/bombing/starving you to death.

    Ubisoft CEO defends Skull and Bones’ $70 price despite its live service leanings, calls it ‘quadruple-A’
  • Maybe it's how long it's been in development, maybe it's how many times that they've changed direction, or maybe it's just that Ubisoft just put so much garbage in their games, but I predict that this game is going to be a trainwreck.

    I was intrigued when they first announced it, but now I'm just so fucking sick of Ubisoft and their bullshit that I'm now just curious to see just how much of a mess it turns out to be.
