we're going to ostracize you from society forever

That is very different from simply not wanting him to be a representative for his country and potential role model for aspiring athletes in one of the biggest media events of the world though. Being welcomed back as a member of society is one thing, but there is a point to be made about expecting more of Olympic athletes than your average member of society.

Kannst du das ausführen? Warum tut das kein Psychiater mehr?

Between 40-60% of people have some form of permanent brain damage and 70-80% have long covid problems

Wait what? I'm with you on masking etc., but those numbers seem a bit high, where did you get those from?

No, nutomic started by ignoring the actual question that was asked and instead starting an ideological argument with a bad faith question. You might say that OP shouldn't have taken the bait, but this was not started by them

It still protects you from your passwords being compromised in any way except through a compromise of the password manager itself. Yes, it's worse than keeping them separate, but it's also still much better than not having 2fa at all.

Don't know if this is the case here, but the word pedophile refers to someone who is sexually attracted to children, and rapists don't necessarily have to be attracted to their victims. There can be other motivations at play. So yeah, it's possible that someone raping a child is not actually a pedophile. Doesn't make it any less disgusting of course, and I have no clue why anyone thought "but he's not a pedo" would be a reasonable argument here

Negative prices are short-term self-regulation reactions of the market, they can't stay negative long-term, just because of how the system works. So I'm not sure what you're worried about.

Also, cut the condescending tone, it does nothing but make you look like an asshole.

Except it'd be much less of a practical problem if the question "but who gets paid" would be taken out distributing excess energy.

Right, that's definitely an important thing, that at least with gog, you can defend yourself against that possibility.

My "best we got" was in regards to the potential to become a lot worse because of shareholder pressure. Given that CD Project is a publicly traded company, GOG is much worse in that regard than Steam.

I fully agree that GOG, as it currently is, could be the better product for you depending on your values, but its defenses against enshittification are objectively much worse than Steam's*, and that's all I was talking about.

*That is, until Gabe dies, I guess, who knows what'll happen then

Nobody is talking about "no potential". Just "a lot less potential than any other option out there", and that's currently the best we got

Not really. Timezones, at their core (so without DST or any other special rules), are just a constant offset that you can very easily translate back and forth between, that's trivial as long as you remember to do it. Having lots of them doesn't really make anything harder, as long as you can look them up somewhere. DST, leap seconds, etc., make shit complicated, because they bend, break, or overlap a single timeline to the point where suddenly you have points in time that happen twice, or that never happen, or where time runs faster or slower for a bit. That is incredibly hard to deal with consistently, much more so that just switching a simple offset you're operating within.

 

The Brickfilming community has taken it upon themselves to recreate the entire Lego Movie, scene for scene, in stop motion, in celebration of the movie's ten year anniversary! Last Wednesday, the project was officially announced and a first trailer released, and we're extremely proud of what we've already achieved so far. It's an ambitious project, but we have lots of fantastically skilled people on it, and it's shaping up nicely :)
