Can’t spell “estadunidense” without “dense”, can you?

Can you not just create a local social club account and use it to save your game progress? Iirc that how it supposed to work at least

So… Which news website has good news again?

Well, that’s an absolute exception and no one should even consider such an occurrence to be a new standard ever

/s (just in case)

In the end the people who ran the hegemony of cable TV just got their hands on the TV streaming services and turned it into the hegemony of TV streaming service.

Nothing have changed the goals people at the top had - they just needed time to adapt

DAO+Awakening is just a chef kiss, nothing is perfect in this world but as far as games are concerned DAO is an amazing experience.

DA2, huh, I did finish it like twice I’d say and I don’t remember much. Can’t say much but I guess this fact is something in itself.

DAI got a joke for a story, from the very first minutes it’s just laughable. I did enjoy the crafting and fighting in DAI but even those have a fair amount of flaws (limited number of abilities cause of console support and so on)

“DAO does have some age” sure thing - it’s in the name

I mean take a look at what’s happening in Russia (besides the war) - folks over there had nothing to hide until suddenly they had and quite a few people got a prison sentence for their posts, re-posts and likes made before the war. While Russia is quite an extreme case it’s not the most extreme and you can sit on the “it won’t happen to me/here” pills yet so thought those people.

Well, you can create an account on an instance that’s defederated from nsfw instances and doesn’t allow nsfw communities inside. For example I’ve seen almost no porn in my ‘all’ feed and had to block like one community from some big instance.

Well, that’s probably a wrong kind of ‘open’ to what FOSS means by ‘open’ yet I’m not convinced. With the whole 'anybody can make an instance and collect all the data they wan’t it’s kind of awkward and messy. How much of the said data you can obscure/encode without losing the openness between instances?

Because if one instance can’t verify actions of another then you have an issue dealing with bots and overall the platform becomes way more obscure and less reliable as a source of information.

And like if the buttons themselves had an ability to openly show who upvoted/downvoted a post - how much of a difference would’ve been here? I don’t feel like it’s such a concern.

The point about deletion/edits - it’s not about removing your info from the internet, it’s about correcting what’s wrong for the sake of providing correct. If it’s on the internet once it’s there forever. I don’t see people complaining about weyback archive doing their thing. Yet it’s doing exactly the same thing possibility of which upsets so many people here.

If you monkey brain posted you home address and where the keys are - it’s on you, not on the internet for storing the info.

The only real point I see here is corporations/governments scraping all this data for their use. Yet as long as they can federate there’s nothing much to do and if you try to restrict federation then it’s just a bunch of forums with extra features.

Well, in Georgian language “mama” is the word for father and “deda” is the word for mother so.

As to the actual exoressive words that are not about items then no, I don’t believe there’s any “universal words” - some words kinda became “natural” for many cultures like “ok”, “'alo” (when answering a call). Yet Turkish for “ok” is “tamam” and older folks might not understand “ok”. In my experience even sounds are not quite the same across the globe.

Overall I think there’s definitely a way to universally express basic needs and feelings like anger, sadness, confusion, etc. with sounds and expressions combined - people might not get the cause but they’ll get the point.

P. S. On the second thought - crying is quite universal, yeah.

You sure you’ve seen thr Latin alphabet? Maybe you’ve mixed it up with Greek? I’m not trying to be mean or anything, I’m just really confused… the pronunciation is certainly different but the characters are mostly same

It depends on the data you have to work with but SQL is quite capable in itself. Yet SQL might be tricky for some specific tasks (like unwrapping dimensions from a plain table when you have to partially rotatate the table, building multidimensional datasets) and for those cases more traditional approaches tend to he far easier to grasp and use.

Like… Can you use it? Yes. Should you? If you’re highly skilled and proficient in SQL then sure, why not… But would’ve you asked the question in the first place if that was the case?

I don’t have to do such tasks often enough (once in a month or two) to be bothered and when I need to I’ll just smack my head against the table (ha-ha) until I make it (remember that part about being skilled in SQL - I’m not skilled enough lol)… Maybe I’ll polish the result with some script or a bit of Go. But that’s not an approach I’d recommend to use on regular basis.
