I don’t think this will bury MS because they can easily market this to enterprise clients ( if they haven’t already ). Recall is a particularly useful tool for any employer that wants to keep track of everything employees do, especially in an age of WFH. They probably figured they can take the PR hit from users concerned about privacy and move on unaffected.
This whole lemmy tankie dev thing has been discussed ad nauseam here for the past year or so. Not sure what solutions you suggest, but if I were to filter my software by who’s an asshole dev and who’s not, that list will end up really short.
As far as the ml instance goes, I don’t agree that we should start defederating left and right with any and all undesirables, but to each their own. At least people now will be in the know, and it might take some weight off lemmy.world
Summary: Newspaper owned by american billionaire claims workers on the other continent should work harder.
I find it hilarious that they had to cherry pick some two-word sentences from those people to try and squeeze in the point, because otherwise their texts would’ve sounded more nuanced and we can’t have that in a hard-working society.
What is worrying though, is that europe’s share in the global market is shrinking, because at this point pretty much only they ( and to a lesser degree the US ) try to uphold somewhat higher ethical standards for the various industries. At this rate the world will be all abused workers and underwhelming products in just a couple decades.
Just wait until you find out some of us still want FM on our phones.
The thing with SD cards is that there’s a crapton of phones with 64/128 internals and still don’t have one. I for one wouldn’t really need one if I had 512, but to get to 512 you usually hace to pay a huge premium, because all major manufacturers have adopted the apple model of upcharging for storage. And frankly in the age of affordable 1tb SD cards I should’t have to pay hundreds to get a measly 256 or 512 gb of storage.
The jack is also a manufactured problem ( also pioneered by apple, iirc ). Why would I give up my existing wired headphones to replace them with expensive sub-standard battery operated ones. Its especially ironic for manufacturers who do a lot of greenwashing. The usb-c adapter is an ok compromise though, and I for one am coming around to that l because you can only find jacks on niche or crap phones these days.
I’m not sure why you brought the “tech is old” argument because frankly it doesn’t make sense for these two.
Western countries’ relationship with russia may be more relaxed and allow for making ammends, but for any country in the east there was never a time in the past centuries when russia has not behaved lile a bully. Heck, ask any ww2 survivor in eastern europe and they’ll tell you the russian “liberator” soldier was just a pillaging and raping piece of shit, and this was when they were technically not the occupier. And this before you start discussing the horrors of russian communist imperialism. I think its quite justified to think they should not be invited to any ww2 commemorations or allowed to act like they are part of “the good guys”.
How this dickwipe managed to get in the spotlights again after what he did I’ll never understand. He’s right though, they should be called terrorists because they are. And bbc while you’re at it also call the genocide of remaining Palestinians a genocide.
No they haven’t. It’s a publicly traded company - they have every incentive to overhype and oversell yet again.
The negative reviews are mostly complaining about the crashes ( yes, there are a bunch of those ) and the full-realistic mode being locked behind level progression ( level 25, whuch means at least some 20h of gameplay ). But honestly i found it to be a very good rally game and definitely the best and prettiest dakar sim i ever played.
Damn, i love that word
Yeah, I’ve been playing this on and off for the past year or so. It’s a great game and the dev is nice and active in the community.
GTA V offline, of all things. Haven’t played it in years and found out its carpool grew quite a lot, matching the forza games and currently scratching my itch for an offline open world car game with a crapton of cars.
This is potentially the worst possible outcome for this whole debacle. This way the austrian conservatives earn points because they managed to restrict the percieved illegal immigrant flow from the east. Also the current governing parties in romania get to keep their crooked border staff, through which they siphon hundreds of millions of euro, as well as earning some electoral points. This partial agreement will also make sure that further schengen talks can be put on the back burner. And in the end the true beneficiaries of a schengen accord - romanian/bulgarian businesses that ship by truck - will get the shaft. Oh, and this whole scandal plays right into russia’s hands, as this will fuel serious anti-eu sentiment in romania.
Not sure what you mean. I’ve played the game through every update and, while shooting was always pretty enjoyable (minus some nasty bugs pre-1.2), the driving still blows. They did tweak it a bit but it’s still noticeably bad, especially if you switch between another car game and CP.
Ah, but you see, they are not the same. Control Panel is an archaic tool that lets you configure your windows quickly and efficiently. The new and improved AWS will be designed from the ground up to waste your time and discourage tweaking. It will probably obfuscate some settings, quietly remove some settings, track your usage, etc.

Wait, Infinite Warfare qualifies as “the grand old days”? Manufactured drama much?
They did completely rework a bunch of gameplay systems, so bugs were to be expected. I tried a 2.0 playthrough, and while bug-wise it felt like the 1.2 days ( the death-on-boarding-delamain bug being particularly infuriating ) the gameplay changes are certainly interesting. I’m still holding off on getting PL just yet, maybe wait for a discount.
Jesus christ, a whopping 500 word article just to say: “players used to be able to earn 666 currency, now the max per season will be 700. we want more!”. Is this what passes for game journalism these days?
As usual CNN is making out of this a bigger deal than it actually is. These are slovak parliamentaries, so it’s not FPTP, therefore he didn’t “win” ( yet, anyway ). This seems to be just the social-democratic party’s growth from 19% in the last election to 23%, which would be in trend with growing conservative sentiment in europe. Besides, PS also grew from 8% to 18%, but that doesn’t generate as many clicks as “SLOVAKIA IS NOW PRO-RUSSIA!” so it’s barely a sidenote. Key takeaways are that they will have to seek coalition if they really want to pose a challenge to NATO policies.
Well you lot ain’t going up there
