And I thought it was us middle-aged (40+) and older who was the only one who still used them literally. Gotten the impression that younger generations invented non-obvious meanings that spread in trend waves, then stopped using emojis when it became too hard and social anxiety-inducing to keep track of the various interpretations of what a “slight smile” might possibly mean to the receiver. 🙂

Or YOU could hack the company by stressing him about bugs and offer your help to fix them.

Of course they dont. Not a chance with that much video added every hour. Also everything gotta be automated. And in favor of those who can make the most legal trouble. And thats companies, not the many various smaller IP-owners.

Just rubs me the wrong way that only Google are finding this business worth it. None of the other companies, even with massive amounts of storage and cdn infrastructure, are able to compete for long.

Microsoft could have done it if storage was all. They got the infrastructure, the tech, cdn infrastructure , and even had a lot of big business customers already using Azures media streaming services. Instead they are withdrawing.

90s?! Does it have a login screen with a fat guy mocking me if I didn’t say the magic word? Or a hidden π link i can click on to bypass authentication?

The biggest drain is the copyright fights, I’m guessing. Defending against and pleasing every big company with an interest.

No. But I am responsible for my own and my friends and family’s safety.

So what is right, is it to let these be free to indoctrinate themselves into hating me and my fellow humans and spreading harmful beliefs until theres no room for our kind? Or is it to police what they are allowed to consume and become the fascist I didnt want these gullible fools to become? Also if we did, how long until someone turned it around on us: Declared themselves the less gullible ones and worthy of policing what we should watch?

Assuming most humans means well and want good, we’d always outnumber and outvote those who are fool enough to believe in the hate. But seeing politicians who demonstrately and openly want the worst towards certain people, somehow manage to get voted into leadership of one of the most influental countries in the world… It has shaken my belief in that tolerance will win out in a democracy.

Should. But its not like we can force them to grow up and become responsible.

Norwegian who was in “Speider’n”. Nobody here cared about the religious parts of it.

Yeah,when I got more than 30 totp accounts, I gave up on keeping them separate. Its still better than 1FA.

Its music level released on YT gave it a lot of exposure. If even that wasn’t enough, what hope do we have for an Alan Wake 3 or Control 2 without a crappy tacked-on monetization scheme? Because thats always next if a singleplayer game series doesn’t make as much money as the publishers wanted it to.

Absolutely, bringing laughter and curiosity to people worldwide 2K years later is THE way to face death. But that guy is gonna be hard to beat…

Oh hell no, my last known action on this earth is NOT gonna be spent complaining about someone else’s music skills. Unless they are playing a vuvuzela or something…

I doubt it. But I want to know too.

In a normal world, someone in power who immediately starts blaming without any proof or cause or connected reason, should have been marked as crazy and shamed out of any place of power. I don’t care if its left or right or between. They should be as relevant as those who blame aliens for building the pyramids. They have no place deciding the fate of others.

That a lot of US are so ready to fight immigrants that they dont mind their politicians jumping blindly to conclusions and seeing enemies everywhere… Its scary. Even on this side of the Atlantic.

Is that from Red Dead Redemption 2?

Just kidding. Beautiful photo though.

The siluette would be the same no matter if its the left or right arm, assuming this is a faraway shot and has barely any perspective. Think of Wile E. Coyote when he leaves a hole in something. It wouldnt matter if he hit the wall with his front first or back first, it would still be the same contour.

I’ve always thought it was the back. But logically then we would be looking down at him. Since we cant see the city, only the sky, we have to be looking up at him.

Also… Does Batman wear high heels here?! He’s a ninja, they should know better than anyone that flat, thin soles are quieter.

I believe MOST people have such a strong need to follow something that they will ignore or invent justification for the morality of it. And I dont think one can learn that, rather one has to learn NOT to follow. But I’m no psychiatrist.

I dont think theres so few. A lot of people have a need to be led. And if it isnt religion and gods it is something else. Like “leaders”. Like the golden(-ish) cow the US’ republicans are worshiping.
