Not super obscure, but not many talk about it. Q4OS, I love it, a perfect windows replacement down to even imitating the old style windows installer. Plus it's Debian based so it has a lot of support. I plan on moving my grandparents to it when windows 10 gets fully discontinued as their current rig doesn't support 11

If it still ran, MW2. Loved it

but today it would have to be minecraft. I have to play it in sessions but, it never fails to find a mod pack or challenge setup.

The only time I've had an ad on YouTube with premium(on their site) is when I went in to invisible mode.

In my opinion it's absolutely stupid that invisible mode has the capability of detecting that you have an account because it skips the age verification blocker on content-sensitive videos, but it gives ads to people with premium. It's obviously able to see that you have a YouTube account so therefore it should be able to just do the next step of saying okay does this account have premium. The only thing people are asking for was it to not log the videos they're watching but they had to make it some Next Generation NASA level secret hidden profile shit that doesn't actually do anything.

Also it really bugs me that they've added ads for YouTube and beds on discord. If I have my YouTube account linked to my Discord account I should not receive ads on the in bed. It should be able to see my YouTube account via electrons cookie system and be able to link it to an account that has premium.

I didn't realize that they still had grandfather's subscriptions, I was the same where I got it at a lower price, but they decided that they weren't going to honor that price 2 years ago and raised it anyway. I've told myself I'm dropping the sub if it goes up again because honestly it's current price is a little outrageous. But I watch over a thousand hours of YouTube a year so therefore it's worth it to me.

I loved UG and UG2, but honestly HP2 takes the cake for the best game, not because of the involvement but, because no other game in the series ever did the Cops system as well as it. The newer HP game was also good too, but I felt it branched off too much. HP2 you could just give a map, no reason for it, and spend the entire game dodging the cops the rest of them it felt like you were actively penalized for not pulling over. I loved the added challenge of running from the cops + racing

the shitty part is, realistically we likely won't feel the effects super bad until after he's out, and the blame will end up being on the next one in line, so if the next in line ends up being democrat, its going to be their fault.

This seems more noble than a lot of hacker groups interestingly enough. Ticketmaster moreorless has a monopoly on the concert ticket fields. this could likely be the reason for this hack. If it's consumer base loses faith in the platform they will have less power over the pricing.

That being said, how did a breached database cause these issues, were they not following industry practices of salt+hash? a breach like that shouldn't have allowed something like this

I personally think that this election process was an eye opener to many people of what can happen when you decide to protest vote or believe in the faith of others. Now I doubt this many people will stay running for office but like it currently is, and believe this is an image movement more than anything, but like, I do think that it opened everyone's eyes (again) that maybe we shouldn't just sit around and do nothing and let others decide what our best interests are, because it rarely actually matches

I feel like it's because they can't milk that mode for profit like war-zone and standard MP, PvP environments allow for more glamour opportunities than a PvE environment because everyone else is focused more on the enemies then what their partner has. Nobody sees the cool looking designs and are like "wow that's cool I should get that" like they do in PvP modes.

to add on to this, the video is dated in june 2021, and the patent show in japan wasnt registered until december 2021, which means palworld was already well on the way prior to them actually submitting these patents.

all three of the patents listed in the article have a japanese patent registered on 12/22/21. Palworld appears to have working gameplay mechanics by june of 2021 as shown by their announcement trailer.

I was always under the understanding that an account deletion deletes information, I would have thought they could just recreate the user. But I could be mistaken

aren't they just going to have the same issue as last time, where the appointment will be stalled till he takes office then suddenly all the resistance disappears and they can send it through immediately?
