Ublock is more convenient and i don't need to pay one subscription per site. In the past, it was about selling convenience. Netflix, for example has beaten conventional torrent sites because it had almost all movies you'd ever wan

I know this is a terrible event and we should look at this critically, but i can't help but read this headline as the start of a sci-fi conspiracy theory/spy fiction novel. "It all started when that hacker group obtained the

The problem is that the way the "propaganda scholar" wrote her whistleblower piece kinda like an appeal to emotion. This can go either way, specially since the team and the project still exists, just without her.

A tool is a tool. If the krita team is anti AI, they can choose to just ignore a plug-in or extension made by an independent team. Do your thing.

It doesn't need to compete with smartphones IMO. The best use case i can see for a device like this a hands free recording and support for law enforcement, rescue and emergency teams. Imagine a paramedic recording all the info about th

I have my concerns about using it for historical recreation, but for fantasy worlds, that's actually a great tool You could make a very big, very rough world based on a define set of core ideas and then deliver it to real authors to ma

That's kind of by design, though. One of the mandates of modern corporates is "generate value for the shareholders at all costs". This frequently means betting on and pushing risky ventures to be the first or, even better, th

Makes sense. one of the simplest ways of saving data in Unity (but not the most correct) is saving values via PlayerPrefs[0]. In Windows, this saving method defaults to registry instead of creating a separate save file in the game folder. i

Gold mine of a wiki. Check the pages for really big and famous RPGs when you have the time (Fallout 1&2, Baldur's Gate 1&2, Final Fantasy 7, etc.) Some games have so much stuff cut at the last moment you could pratically make a

Seems to be the least of all evils for the problem: Nuclear waste is nearly impossible to recycle in a cost effective way, can't be burned, can't be decontaminated effectively and won't decompose easily. It need to be stored

That's common practice with mid sized companies and above, though: - find something that can probably give some competitive advantage or please shareholders - Identify it as "not part of our core business" - Pay a third party
