Opt out is such a shitty practice. Especially for AI generation

Yeah I will probably need to switch over to firefox if Brave is gonna break. Are the blockers in Brave V2 do you know?

Yes facial masks, IR glasses, and hats at every store that does this

What makes you say this? Brave is my primary and doesn’t need uBlock to effectively block ads

They used to. You would need to try and see but it’s free. I haven’t used it for that in over a year though

There is this too - I used it awhile back so I’m not sure if it still works. I do temp emails on sites that just want a quick login so you can download something and it works great.

That Apple has kept its work with cops largely under wraps indicates the company is aware that providing tech for police surveillance operations is inherently at odds with its pro-privacy marketing
This is an odd statement. I think what they mean is that it’s private for the individual cop but that is not what they want for the department. If Apple then makes a ‘cop version’ that has backdoor access for legality purposes, that code via a bug could make it into everyone’s phones. So yes in that regard but not just that they are working with cops (I would hope). I think they are just not releasing a business plan until they are 100% on it

I used it for awhile to find a job recently. It’s all recruiters contacting you that have no idea what your skill set is so they just end up wasting your time

If I have played someone a bunch or am on a quest then definitely. Otherwise I try to keep it like live cards. Remember you can always cheat IRL too! It’s up to you if/when/where

I didn’t finish the game because I am still playing gwent haha it’s that good. I would look up which cards you can only get from quests because you can’t get them afterwards. Just look up a mapping for quests to cards (no spoilers of course). I am on mobile and can’t find one currently

Mike Johnson denies aid -> Logan Paul gives it. He’s literally better than MJ. Never tried it but it’s probably pretty bad.

This is for iPhone but should be almost identical for Android. Find a youtube clip, screen record it. Use Garageband or an Android alternative. There are multiple free ones. Get the clip where you want it then go to share and do ringtone for there

The people here are a ton better anyways. I just wish some of the more niche communities had more users

So a recall is probably the correct thing to do. Logistically and financially it would be a friggin nightmare

Anyone running a 13x or 14x should test their PC using Intel’s stress test utility, especially if you have had crashes. It’s permanent damage and they will replace your processor. https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000005567/processors.html Also update your BIOS if you have those chips. There is a software fix for if you haven’t been affected yet
What happens if you try to return an empty package?
So I like to draw a bit, that kinda turned into painting and then exploded into 3d design. Now I want to paint my prints but with my experience I am not sure what to get. I won’t use the paints outside of prints most likely. Are there any that are good that are good to be used sparsely? Maybe any techniques?
Say a dissolvable spring is compressed with a bolt and nut that do not melt in a sulfuric acid solution. The spring has quite a bit of potential energy at this point since it is compressed. Assuming the spring dissolves perfectly (no breakage, just complete disintegration), what happens to the potential energy of the spring?
This is the Discord FAQ archive, I recommend reading all of it https://lemmy.ca/post/20577314 ________________________________________________ **Steam Announcement 5/2/24 ** This announces the return of PSN forced logins “Due to technical issues at the launch of HELLDIVERS™ 2, we allowed the linking requirements for Steam accounts to a PlayStation Network account to be temporarily optional. That grace period will now expire. See details below in this post. Account linking plays a critical role in protecting our players and upholding the values of safety and security provided on PlayStation and PlayStation Studios games. This is our main way to protect players from griefing and abuse by enabling the banning of players that engage in that type of behaviour. It also allows those players that have been banned the right to appeal.” __________________________________________________ **Playstation Announcement 5/5/24 ** Backing out the PSN account changes, some corpo BS basically "Helldivers fans—we’ve heard your feedback on the Helldivers 2 account linking update. The May 6 update, which would have required Steam and PlayStation Network account linking for new players and for current players beginning May 30, will not be moving forward. We’re still learning what is best for PC players and your feedback has been invaluable. Thanks again for your continued support of Helldivers 2 and we’ll keep you updated on future plans.” __________________________________________________ **Some Analysis ** Basically from the information I gathered here’s how I see it went down. The notice requiring PSN connection was always there where all the EULA requirements are (right side of the store page next to the game features. You have to scroll past the buy button to see it. I never look at those. “Requires 3rd-Party Account: PlayStation Network (Supports Linking to Steam Account)” The PSN connection requirement was —active— on launch for a short amount of time. Due to the massive server lag this was causing they paused the feature. They then reenabled, leading to the previous 2 announcements. __________________________________________________ **Problems I see with Sony ** 1. They should never have sold to the 177 countries that it is illegal Corporate BS from the FAQ basically says go to a country that supports PSN, make an account, and go back. Comment from @jet@hackertalks.com “Basically if you don’t live in a PSN country, they want you to lie to make a PSN account, making you in breach of the TOS. But they don’t want to say it directly. So they only answer in that mealy mouthed if you’re traveling scenario. What this means is if you live in one of the 66% of the world countries that doesn’t have access to PSN You’re going to lose access to the game. Unless you lie. And if you lie you could get banned.” 2. They needed to make it absolutely clear in-game that they were having server issues and that PSN login would be required once they got that sorted. This was a fuck-up on their part not keeping their users informed. If they had put in that simple notification in-game none of this would have happened. 3. After one or two months of the feature not working and having huge success with the servers, amount of users, and player engagement, they should have just scrapped the feature. 4. Anyone being gifted the game would not have been aware of this, ever. __________________________________________________ **Good things that happened: ** 1. Steam offered full refunds to anyone that played, regardless of hours, which is extremely rare 2. After much collaboration from the gamers, PSN is no longer required 3. Gamers were able to push a corpo to not do some BS. Huge win __________________________________________________ **To summarize: ** I didn’t notice the 3rd party login that was present when I purchased. That’s on me. Early gamers knew about the PSN connection. Any one of them that thought it was bad would have just returned it. Any one who didn’t care kept playing and didn’t bring it up because they didn’t care. Sony probably made the assumption people pay attention to those things. I will continue to play. For Democracy! If you did leave a negative review consider taking it down. It is still a very great game. I’m going to delete mine but am not going to give a positive one due to the fuckery.
With the addition of ads for paying users, is there anything subscribers can do to protest? I hate ads with a passion. Maybe separate all shipping items to cost them more? I’m not seeing many options other than cancellation
There are laws in place for service workers related to minimum wage. The employers have to make up the difference if tips don’t meet the rate for hours worked. It seems to me that’s not sufficient for the times. Hypothetically, if everyone were to stop tipping in the U.S. would things be better or worse for workers? Would employers start paying workers more?
It was working this morning until I had to refresh the mobile site. Does anyone have a solution for this or are we gonna have to wait until the next update?
