I think this quote from Julia Adams, one of the signers, is relevant: > "The concerns articulated in the FfY formation statement pertain to universities — and not their members! — as activists." There's no problem with ind

What problem is public housing supposed to solve? The current housing crisis is a supply problem. We aren't building enough housing in places with high demand, so prices are going up. Even if public housing was subsidized to be cheaper

I think "in the slightest" may be a bit of an exaggeration. Not every game with a required server connection has been resurrected. And as this problem continues to escalate, I'm doubtful that hackers and preservationists will

Nier: Reincarnation is a mobile game. If you're planning on playing Nier: Automata or Nier: Replicant, those are still available for the forseeable future.

Even if this were the future of emulation, we need a lot more than emulators for anything to really be considered the "future of video game preservation". Modern games so frequently require connections to servers - often needlessl

I just don't care. It's not like they can train a bot to convincingly speak like me from just one word. And if they can, the game is already over and we've all lost. That said, I don't answer suspicious numbers and I won

My current phone is the first one I've owned to ever be supported by LineageOS. I've always been disapointed I couldn't use it to breathe life back into my old phones. I don't think I'll make the switch so long as i

I do not have enough experience to speak to this, but I have heard others in the auto repair industry complain about how insurers like Progressive are very cheap about replacement parts for damaged vehicles - opting for the lowest cost part

Smartphones are general purpose computers. Screen real estate is valuable for many popular applications. The majority of people decided bigger screens are more valuable than the ability to text with one hand. Big phones started selling bett

The line between reasonable responsibiliy and unreasonable responsibility is subjective and blurry. We can generally agree it's my responsibility to not waste my life savings on novelty mugs, but it's not my responsibility to ke

A 25% markup on component cost is shockingly low to me considering the work that must have gone into developing and assembling this. Not to mention the development that goes into the OS. If I had a good use case for this product, I don&#x27

Those are questions for Amazon. I can give you all sorts of arbitrary criteria, but whatever they choose it would be ridiculous for Adidas to not be on the list.

Recognize names of well-known brands in search queries and filter (or at least prioritize) items by the associated seller? It's not exactly black magic.

That price range might have been accurate 7 years ago, but modern graphics cards for gaming range from $300 to $1000 with the highest level pushing $2000 thanks to the AI craze. The higher prices make quality iGPUs all the more relevent - e

No it's not. The AI isn't the one publishing its works. If I write an article that is word-for-word the same as a Times article, I'm not liable for anything until I make it available to others. The means by which I wrote the

My laptop is older than that and I have no problem getting updates. Turns out tightly coupling hardware and software for general computing devices is not such a great idea for users or the environment.

> Nuclear as it exists today is not cost competitive. But that's mostly an artificial problem caused by regulation. Is it regulation or a lack of scale? The US has launched 2 reactors in the last 2.5 decades. I'm guessing there

Mods are great, but they generally lack cohesion. I agree with OP. I wish that instead of passive upgrades and only a couple tower/ammo variants, the game had a deeper tower defense aspect. It'd be nice to have more enemy and towe

I tried "Dark logo for a dice game" and I got H4, clouds, and the icon for looping the same song over and over.

I see this argument made all the time. Is there literally any other product for which this is seen as an acceptable "anti-theft" feature? Imagine if we did that to cars.

For those of you who are sick of Hasbro/WotC's shinanigans, give Pathfinder a shot. Its setting and rules should be very familiar for anyone used to DnD, but I've found the small changes they made to combat and progression re

Yeah, they're definitely not identical. But from an antitrust perspective I think the MS case is at least much more similar.

by CivBase 3y ago
Right. This is much more similar to MS and Internet Explorer back in 98. Interestingly enough, one of the outcomes of that case was IE for the Mac.

If I'm expected to believe a messaging app is secure, the first thing I want is an open protocol. An open source client would be nice too, but honestly I'm fine with just the protocol. I do not need to have had a hand in developin

Sure. They have every right to do what they're doing. I'm just mocking Apple because I think their implication that they're the only trustworthy entity is ridiculous. We have no reason to trust them any more than we do Beeper

I don't actually think it's that unreasonable. Apple has broken people's trust many times and come out just fine in the end because they are a huge company with many products participating in many markets. A small company lik
