Sometimes they further optimize it for a goal, or maximize it to have everything. Sometimes organize it, provide additional material that fans might appreciate, add commentary. Port it to a platform where previously it was inaccessible. For

I'm not talking about the sanctions at all. In my opinion, and even according to the article, the thing is about banning users who use VPNs to defeat geofencing, and region pricing. This was, at most, tolerated by Steam. I personally w

No, what's not safe is to exchange ownership to a service. The number of accounts banned in this wave, compared to the Monthly Active Users of Steam, comes out to 0.01%, so one banned player for every 10.000. It's a shitshow, but

What I experienced is that the level of reaction from the professional users is much lower than mine. While I was alarmed even back in the mid-2000s that Microsoft wants to validate files for authenticity before using them (later evolved to

You could bet I'd have a secret phone, and somehow knowledge on every wifi password in the neighborhood. The effects of things like gore at 13 are not well understood, I think, but content like this is prevalent, so I see the point in

I definitely felt misled, when I first learned about this, back when they censored Tank Man the same time Bing did[0]. I did remain a user though, mostly because I haven't felt like keeping up who the current good guys are. Lately I ha

I love the acknowledgement that DDG put on their page. We're currently experiencing an issue with DuckDuckGo Search. Thanks for your patience while we get our ducks in a row. In the meantime, you can use other search engines

Windows can have Bing Wallpaper, which changes the wallpaper every day. It's not installed by default, but it's a fun offering from Microsoft.

I'm sure there's a pessimistic, but realistic answer to all these questions. What is your point?

The world is exactly there as it ever was, power structures and power struggles. Two major differences to the past is that there is more people than ever, and that we currently have near-instant global communication. I'm with you on th

I think that using a secure layer on top of the insecure layer undermines this argument, similar to how HTTPS is secure while using HTTP with a twist, and using every underlying system in the same way. Or how GPS functionality is regulated

>Projecting all of this on to “fantasy escape world” is silly. I kind of agree. How I see is that there's a lot of frustration in people in general, and many manage their internal turmoil by manifesting it into external stimulus. Ma

Not in my experience, and not for trivial things like this. I'm sure this varies widely with employer, location and life situation, but generally these kinds of annoyances are both far from the worst that people need to do / toler

I firmly believe that management doesn't, or shouldn't mind this. I think a successful company is not necessarily built on top talent, but rather on people whose behavior can be managed - and on managers that are similarly compete

Here is one test where they compare some formats. Opus came out on top, even though for MP3, they allowed for a significantly larger bitrate. The downside is that the test is old, encoders evolve all the time, although this is true to both

Oh no. Thanks for passing the news along. EDIT: just an FYI for everyone interested, here's a bit of info about how Proxmox is handling it. TL;DR Spice is still at least maintained until 2029, so it's not going to just go away any

What I never understood is how Spice is not elevated to a separate product. It does a fantastic job handling the graphical, audio, and peripheral connections to VMs, so how come there isn't a Spice server that I can just install to wha

Not quite. We've become slaves to the technology, and we can opt to have some fun as the inevitable is happening. On a personal level, I don't think one can do much against the zeitgeist. But they can decide what part they play in
