That DLC is actually $1.49 during the sale, at least in the US.

Event happens.

Internet floods with conspiracies about Event.

News reports that there are conspiracies about Event.

Rinse and repeat. “Event” can be virtually anything of public note.

The problem with that isn’t Bernie. The problem is Trump. Bernie splitting the Dem vote is a more sure-fire way to get Trump than Biden running as it is.

Remember when a huge coalition of people wanted RBG to retire? And then she didn’t, and those people took it as courage or some such other virtue?

some people here on Lemmy get upset at any mention of Ranked Choice Voting and respond that, in their opinion, it’s not perfect

To those people, I say: do not let perfection be the enemy of progress.

Also, it’s absurd, because it’s clearly better than what we have now. I suspect many of those people are trolls.

I’d love to see parents flabbergasted by their children refusing the shellfish daddy worked hard to buy, and making sure their clothes don’t use mixed fabrics.

I’ve been using one of these 4U server chassis. Of course it is in a rack with some other equipment. I’ve been quite happy with it; lots of space.

I switched to a server-style case which sits horizontally exactly for this reason. The sag will only get worse.

It’s almost like all these CEOs and MBAs are just shooting in the dark because of the $$$ in their eyes, but the fact remains that the market is no longer responding favorably to their absolute need for year-over-year growth.

I have not bought a phone through my carrier for probably around 10 years. I always buy something factory unlocked, often a LatAm model, and drop my SIM in. GSM was designed with that kind of freedom in mind.

It doesn’t surprise me how much hardware costs are tied to (and inflated by) subscription plans in the US, though.

Much love for these teachers. They are not paid nearly enough. I hate the corporate pizza party, but not the public school one.

Edit: I wonder if the difference in financial burden between a corporate pizza party and a public school one is a good metric

I am hopeful for this. Playing it on day one, I reported a garbage management bug on the official forum: only to be told it was “by design”, and yet still game-breaking.

The performance woes got all the press, but the game was fundamentally broken. It was nearly impossible to lose. Too many services for a small city? Here’s free “government subsidies” that you also can’t shut off when your city is successful. Don’t have garbage service? No problem, a neighboring city you have no control over is gonna handle your trash – for free.

I hope this is finally a step in the right direction, but I’ll never understand why it took a year to listen to day 1 issues. If the game had been released Early Access the response would have been better all around. Performance issues need to take second place: if the game isn’t fun, I don’t care how it performs.

Tell me you’ve never tried it without telling me you’ve never tried it.

Have you tried emulating it while interfacing with some ancient ISA card?

Stop giving stupid people air time.

Who at all did not see this coming? At this point we as a country just waste resources so the people in the back can push their little christofascist agendas.

My thoughts exactly. Sounds like some corporate lobbying to try and break into Steam’s market.

To reference a Gaben quote out of context, these other companies have a service issue.

I wouldn’t expect shareholders to be the brightest folks at this point in the timeline.

May not be your goal, but I specifically wanted to get more life out of a Windows 8 tablet sans keyboard. I had a good time experimenting with the x86 port of Android, and it was a surprisingly smooth process.

At the end of the day, it was indeed quick enough for some basic browsing, but anything with video was horrendous despite the drivers working fine (this was a system with Intel Atom and 2GB RAM).

+1. A lot of pushback I’ve seen is along the lines of “but all these business owners will have to close their businesses!”. What short sighted BS. We are talking about decades and decades of wage stagnation and business models that are not teneble with living wages. We are talking about a history of having the public subsidize the profits of these businesses through social programs for their workers, while the money stolen from labor goes right into the pockets of the owner.

Will some, or even many, businesses need to close? Yes. Should they have to? Yes. We collectively need to get out of this mindset that MBA-think is the way. It is not.
