I've been pretty invested in my LaunchBox setup, and this seems pretty similar.
What are some things that GameVault does that LaunchBox doesn't? Or features that GameVault does better than LaunchBox?

Yeah, 4 years ago was the pandemic. Either people can't do math, can't remember 4 years ago, or just think "worse" means "bad now"...

Yeah, it went from "Any illegal drug will kill you or drive you insane", to "All that anti-drug stuff is nonsense, they aren't THAT bad" to finally, a much more nuanced "Some drugs should definitely not be fucked with".

Do you really think this is a "mature manner"?
You gave your opinion in another thread, got some replies that were trying to engage in discussion with you, then you ignored them all and came over here to whine about how everyone else is immature and can't handle discussions about those topics. Seems pretty ironic to me

If you tell people that if they do a certain thing that it will most likely kill them or have a high likelihood of killing them ... eventually enough people begin to understand that.
And the important part is that it's the truth this time.
Before, they were saying weed would kill people. That got a segment of a generation who would grow up wondering "What else were they lying about?"

Everyone is okay with immigration, until they have faced or been in situations where someone from another country is hired over someone who was naturally born in a country. Everyone is okay with immigration until a migrant is housed over someone who is naturally born.
Uh...no, I have no problem with an immigrant getting a job in my country. Or having a place to live.
If you aren't okay with those, then when you say "immigration", you might be thinking of "tourism". If you're not okay with immigrants having a job and a place to live, you're not okay with tourism.

Which, to be fair, is still pretty complex.

Your priorities are fucked if you are able to even type those two words ["Go" and "Trump"] next to each other.
"Go Trump yourself"
"Go Trump to hell"
"Go Trump off a bridge"

Thank you.
I definitely agree with businesses doing right by their employees. I just wish the governments would be doing more to protect ALL employees. I vote based on which parties are looking out for everyone, not based on whatever works best for me because I've got better than the legal minimum.

I don't think "pacifying over-controlling authorities" and "gatekeeping knowledge" are good reasons to restrict internet access to public libraries. Forgive me for oversimplifying a couple of your points; that's just how I interpreted them, haha
I can understand some of your motivations, but I think the harm would be greater than the good if one were to restrict internet access like that.

It's not my work's policies. I get better than that. It's what my province legally mandates that's the problem.

Well, I haven't checked in a while. They probably wouldn't ban someone without ID from using the internet. But most library resources do require library cards to access. Well, anything aside from entering, sitting, and reading a book while you're there. Or y'know. Washrooms and water fountains.
But I believe you usually need to book time to use the computers (and internet). I guess it's probably to stop people from anonymously going on the computers and doing things they shouldn't. From an IT security perspective, it makes sense, as does it from a "We know who tried to access CP yesterday and can confirm it wasn't a staff member" perspective

I know MediaBiasFactCheck is not a be-all-end-all to truth/bias in media, but I find it to be a useful resource. It makes sense to downvote it in posts that have great discussion -- let the content rise up so people can have discussions with humans, sure. But sometimes I see it getting downvoted when it's the only comment there. Which does nothing, unless a reader has rules that automatically hide downvoted comments (but a reader would be able to expand the comment anyways...so really no difference). What's the point of downvoting? My only guess is that there's people who are salty about something it said about some source they like. Yet I don't see anyone providing an alternative to MediaBiasFactCheck...
I used to be able to press the microphone button on my home screen and say "Start 5-minute timer" and it would start the timer. Now, when I do that, it does a Google search for "Start 5-minute timer". How do I get that functionality back? I don't want to open an app, and I don't want to use a number pad or anything to enter the number. EDIT: Thank you! I went into the Gestures section of Settings, and now I can long-press the power button to get the desired behaviour. This might even be more convenient than tapping the mic icon!
1. Tap search button on the bottom. 2. Search like normal for communities with the search term. Results returned like normal. 3. Clicking the unfilled heart (to subscribe) results in the error presented in the attached screenshot. 4. The back button (Android) doesn't work. App must be force-closed. 5. The subscribing action was successful; discovered on reboot. 6. Repeating the steps, but instead of the unfilled heart, clicking on the community successfully navigates to the community. 7. This didn't happen before. 8. I might be one update behind current as of Mar 18
Bananas are ridiculously cheap even up here in Canada, and they aren't grown anywhere near here. Yet a banana can grow, be harvested, be shipped, be stocked, and then be purchased by me for less than it'd cost to mail a letter across town. (Well, if I could buy a single banana maybe...or maybe that's not the best comparison, but I think you get my point) Along the banana's journey, the farmer, the harvester, the shipper, the grocer, the clerk, and the cashier all (presumably) get paid. Yet a single banana is mere cents. If you didn't know any better, you might think a single banana should cost $10! I'm presuming that this is because of some sort of exploitation somewhere down the line, or possibly loss-leading on the grocery store's side of things. I'm wondering what other products like bananas are a lot cheaper than they "should" be (e.g., based on how far they have to travel, or how difficult they are to produce, or how much money we're saving "unethically"). I've heard that this applies to coffee and chocolate to varying extents, but I'm not certain. Anyone know any others?
I've got a fairly new 14tb Seagate Expansion. It works fine, and I've been using it for a month and a bit. I don't know how long it's been doing this, but the power supply is making a very faint alarm sound. The power supply is plugged into a Belkin surge protector powered on and with the "protected" status light lit, and it is plugged into an outlet. The HDD is currently not plugged in to a computer. It's not a beep or electricity. It's a distinct weewooweewoo. I couldn't even determine the source until I pressed my ear against it. Googling just points me towards typical "my HDD is making a sound, how long do I have until it dies", but nothing pointed me to the alarm sound from the power supply. I'll check again if it makes the alarm in other conditions, but in the meanwhile, I was hoping someone here might know something. Thanks in advance! EDIT: The sound only happens when... - Power adapter is plugged into the HDD, AND the outlet - HDD is NOT plugged into the computer. Plugging it into the computer stops the noise from the power adapter.
Due to personal circumstances, I haven't had much time for gaming in the last year. I did have a couple of months in the summer with some free evenings though, so I dumped a bunch of time into Pokemon Violet, and I also completed Super Mario Sunshine, spending several hours getting those last few shines and blue coins after leaving the game at ~85% completed back in 2022. Other than those 2 games, I hadn't really played much of anything on the Switch. My year in review said I put a ton of hours into Pokemon Violet, single-digit hours into F-Zero 99, and less than 1 hour into NES online. No mention of Super Mario 3D All-Stars. I was wondering why it didn't count. But then I realized that these year-in-review things are not a nice service or gift to subscribers... they're ADS that they intend people to share with their friends to get their friends to buy more games. (What's a better review than "Your best friend played this game for 200h last year"?) Since SM3DAS isn't available in the shop, it'd be useless to advertise that game. So maybe Nintendo is excluding it from their calculations... Can anyone else confirm or deny this? Did anyone have any delisted games make their year-in-review? Or am I just going to need to spend a ton of time 100%ing Super Mario Galaxy in 2024, and only play 2 other games on my Switch? Lmao
I know money can't buy happiness blahblahblah. Do they do gift exchanges at all? Do they ask for anything? They have enough money that they could get anything made or done for them at a moment's notice. Like having ChatGPT, but for services. Ridiculous things we couldn't imagine. Anyone have any insight into general trends along those lines?
