I absolutely hate it. I understand the reasoning that banning the party would likely result in them just doing their stuff underground in an organization and place that you don’t yet have infiltrated with spies, but holy fuck when will something fundamental happen to the AFD? We’re dangerously close to repeating history.

And I don’t think I can trust on the whole “defensible democracy” thing anymore…

Okay, thank you for the comprehensive answer! I remembered wrong, I actually have the GTX 1660 Ti. Ever since I switched from my 970, I always mix up the numbers. Nonetheless, it changes almost nothing about your statement, I think, lol

I could be mistaken but I think I read something about being able to choose which games a child member can see and play? If your adult sis is prone to getting banned, just invite her as child, if the system works like that. Sure, the terms “adult” and “child” are more intuitive for regular people, but in essence it’s just “admin/mod” and “member”, no?

You’re right. And sure, it’s gonna suck for the twelve legitimate people who lose their access because their sibling is a dickwad, but that’s an okay tradeoff if it prevents a sudden surge of cheats.

Mhmm, I just noticed it yesterday when I first tried using it. But it doesn’t seem all good, because apparently it only works (without any workarounds) if you are on the same network. My sister, who lives in the same country but 400 km away, couldn’t join upon invitation :c

You’re right that these things have been happening for a while, but does it invalidate their actions now? Sure, it would’ve been better, had they said something earlier, but better do the right thing eventually than think “Eh, I didn’t open my mouth the very first time so it’s no use doing it now”…right?

I wonder what they think of as high-end GPUs, though. I’ve been using a GTX 1060 to run my games for around two or three years and am mostly happy with performance vs quality. Would a GTX 1060 today be out of AMD’s scope already or are we talking rivaling Nvidia’s 40xx series today?

Edit: If the video answers that, I apologise. I’m at work and can’t watch it immediately

A pretty good change for how I use Family Sharing. The only detriments seem to be the issue of the game owner being banned for violations of other family members and the 1 year cooldown between leaving and joining a family. Both should be manageable issues, though, if you’re at the point of trusting someone enough to log into their machine with your credentials.

Oh hey, can you try to explain why you want to do that? I’m always confused by it because unless you mean to end on a dramatic pause, these are just regular sentences and those usually end on a period (or nothing/smiley, if you’re an internet person

I also answer all calls I get and (usually) call back if they missed me. I actively gave my number to one or two research groups for polls. They call maybe twice per year, so it’s alright.

As for scammers, maybe 10% of calls are of that sort and so far I enjoy messing with them when they call.

If you have birds in your area, try finding and identifying them (for example by using Merlin Bird ID).

Can confirm, StreetComplete is very fun to enhance your general existence in / awareness of a place.

From reading this thread so far, there seem to be good arguments for mandatory voting in a similar fashion and infrastructure as it currently is set up in Australia.

I still think compulsory voting isn’t the best way, though. Instead, the focus should be on getting people interested in politics in the first place. With the big three or four parties in my country, I (and many others my age) feel like voting for them is useless, even if you agree with their campaign promises, because at most 5% of those promises will even be partly realised. Holding politicians accountable and punishing them appropriately for acting very far from their campaign promises should be established, otherwise the mental consensus will stay “Why vote for anyone, if they just do something entirely different anyway?”

I hope you’re right. It would finally be something very different and that’s necessary, I think.

I absolutely get where you’re coming from, but to be fair Team Fortress is basically a hero shooter as well, except that there can be multiples of the same “hero” on the battlefield at the same time. Or - and I’m genuinely asking because I haven’t played “hero shooters” in that long - am I missing a core distinction of hero shooters?

Right? I’m sure there are memes like that about humans when they just stupidly stare at an oncoming wormhole expansion shuttle.

Understandable, but I would say the entire set would include genders and gender variations that haven’t been seen in the wild yet.

Similar to how you don’t need to write down all the possible numbers between 0 and 1 to know that they do exist.

By whom and why would the sites get DDOSed if they didn’t use Cloudflare? Am I wrong to assume that internet traffic is just as trackable for the internet provider if the server traffic first visits Cloudflare vs just using whatever the provider…uhhh…provides?

Mind you, while I can follow a logical argument, most stuff concerning networks like the internet still feels like magic to me for the most part. We use Cloudflare because, after reading up on it a little bit, I got the notion that it would likely improve our connection speed and especially the loading speed of my gf’s webtoon sites. But that’s about the extent of my knowledge.

Maybe we should acknowledge that neither North Korea nor the USA are without fault and that in some aspects they are similar enough that they would be confused with each other in a blind test.

The main difference for the vast majority here is that public outrage and votes in elections for their respective governments won’t change a thing in North Korea.

If you haven’t seen it yet, check out Fight Club. Rewatched it a couple days ago because my gf didn’t know anything about it except the meme of “First Rule of Fight Club…” and I had last seen it possibly 20 years ago.
