Vanguard was announced and was supposed to be added to League imminently a while ago. I stopped playing months ago as a result. I can hardly imagine that I am the only one, so the number seems cherry picked for convenience.
I’d like to know what the average daily player count on Linux was prior to 2024, I suspect it’s higher than 800.
That said, I get the trade-off. I won’t support that trade-off though because I will never agree with an anticheat implemented like Vanguard is.
The number would be higher too, I doubt I was the only one who stopped playing months ago when Vanguard was supposedly going to be implemented imminently.
I missed that part in the article, I should have just searched for the word flood, woops
So if the tip is sticking out for airflow, how does it handle a flash flood?
Spacewar is the app ID for testing Steamworks integration without having an app ID yet.
Google still controls the source, and so they have influence over the rest.
It’s like Ungoogled Chromium. Sure, it’s open source. Sure, if might have Google crap removed. Google still calls the shots on the direction of the browser.
Same still meaningfully applies to Chromium-based browsers.
Unless it’s a Java Minecraft server which I believe exclusively uses TCP still.
As much as I would like to believe that, these politicians have more than demonstrated their intentions and modus operandi. They need to be voted out and replaced with someone who will actually try to do the right thing even if it’s not such an easy talking point come reelection time.
Yes.
A bunch of states including NC are just blocking porn to protect the children but it’s literally the laziest solution with some of the smallest impact.
Twitch, Discord, and Roblox are far more accessible and arguably more dangerous in terms of short term consequences than porn because they are primarily social interaction platforms.
I’ve never seen Rotten or Liveleaks (at first I thought you meant Rotten Tomatoes that’s how unaware I am), but they could probably use similar regulation.
It’s not even that I think porn regulation is inherently bad, but the implementation is garbage and the claim to protect the children is extremely weak.
Social content sites are dangerous because of the opportunity for predators to easily encounter minors (especially age restriction breaking ones under 13), and violent content sites are, well, violent? They should be a higher priority but they evidently aren’t.
I mean I honestly think if they really wanted to “protect the children” they’d actually make COPPA enforcement a lot more strict (and also add in under 18 limitations), though I suspect that would be significantly harder.
There are a lot of places where you can get exposure to “bad” stuff as a child that are arguably more dangerous long term.
Well in this case the companies that should be regulated are the Internet companies in SK. 😂 Good counterpoint (not /s)
I dropped my sub. Was paying roughly $7.50/mo for 2 years for the legacy bundle and they nearly tripled it to $18.99/mo.
Of all my streaming services, I literally do not watch ESPN, and barely use Hulu and Disney. I could justify $7.50 by stretching the definition of justification, but $18.99 is more than I pay for streaming services I use regularly.
A more granular view of your actual traffic/usage habits.
Let’s say a page you visit embeds a Tweet, you’ll end up firing off a DNS request for twitter.com, and at least one request to load data from Twitter.
Now let’s say you actually use Twitter. The DNS request will be the same, and you will have many requests to Twitter to load data.
In both situations a DNS request is sent off, so the DNS provider knows you probably loaded something but they are going to have a harder time understanding if you are a Twitter user or if you are just frequenting a website with Twitter embeds. However the network provider that can see to what servers the HTTPS request for data are going will see just how often you are actually connecting to Twitter and the size of the transferred data and can build an incomplete but still far more detailed picture of your habits, and they would be able to tell the difference between an only-embed viewer and a regular Twitter user.
Additional dystopian future possibility:
Also, for anyone with objectively nefarious future goals, even if the data is encrypted, if one day we are indeed able to break encryption en masse the DNS provider can’t decrypt data they don’t have but the network provider definitely could.
I mean this only routes a small amount to their servers, the actual data to use a website isn’t sent to 8.8.8.8.
Most of the major components to Linux can’t become not-FOSS. It’s more likely that Windows will be made into a good, quality, user-respecting operating system.
(Also they can all be forked.)
The base piece of software for your computer being tied to a subscription is unacceptable, period.
Subscriptions are already too heavily pushed and for the most part are just being used to eek more money out of people.
I’m sure this subscription will also get mixed with the ads systems they are bolting into Windows and that stuff is already unacceptable.
Microsoft is treating the market as cattle to farm money, their behavior quite frankly has strayed into morally reprehensible. “Cooling jets” is not necessary, breaking up Microsoft is.
Skull joke? 😂
I mean I’m not really picking to not play anymore because I don’t want to. They said they were going to turn it on like two months ago and I believed them. I wasn’t about to risk my account on the odd chance my crapple device is good enough to play it.
