If 98% of Lemmy wants to kill all men, that's a pretty shit state of affairs.
Yeah, that was a very, very odd choice.
You have Eve Online, a PC exclusive MMO. And you try to sell the playerbase on a PS3 game? Most of them literally don't have the proprietary hardware to run that game but 100% of them have a gaming PC sitting right in front of them....
This isn't to say don't include the PS3, but why the hell wasn't it on PC where the entire Eve playerbase is?
“Reserve Cloud PCs” will be preloaded with Microsoft 365 apps and a user’s preferred security policies and other Windows customizations.
You need a working PC to access this 'reserve' PC. Why not just install Office on your own PC and ignore this extra cloud thing?
CCP and their affiliates have been incurring sizeable losses instead. They released a mobile game, EVE Echoes, via NetEase shortly after the acquisition, but this has apparently fallen short of expectations, and CCP are now focusing rather heavily on "web3" games fuelled by blockchain bullshit. They are also still trying to make an EVE Online FPS, despite screwing this up three times in a row.
CCP had a one-hit-wonder and never again figured out how to make a game.
Here is the issue. Let's say Germany buys for their own forces and only for their own forces, no other goals. Fair enough, the sale won't be blocked. But, the industrial capacity for these arms is now built up in Switzerland, not in Germany, not in France.
Sometime in the future these arms you bought for your own forces are needed in a war you yourself are in. An unfortunate situation, but sometimes war is forced upon a country by others. What happens when you go to Switzerland to regenerate your arms for this unfortunate conflict you find yourself in?
Switzerland replies, "Swiss law prohibits the supply of military equipment and materials to countries involved in armed conflicts". And now, all this industrial capacity you funded for your own armed forces is unavailable to you in a war you yourself are in. You have no way to regenerate your arms. You are, as one might say, fucked.
Swiss law prohibits the supply of military equipment and materials to countries involved in armed conflicts
Why is Germany bothering to buy anything from Switzerland? What the hell is the point of arms if you cannot use them in defense of friends?
Now, there is a chance Germany is only talking about this as it would free up other stock to send Ukraine. But, this is a poor choice otherwise.
For example, Germany, the largest buyer of Swiss weapons, excluded Swiss companies from some procurement agreements, while Denmark and the Netherlands suspended orders.
This goes along with a Perun video on the subject. In which Swiss weapons exports cratered since 2022, despite massive increases in demand for the very arms they sell.
Drop policies that have been consistent long-term losers like expanded gun control.
Suppressors are a hearing safety device/noise pollution reducer and Democrat politicians describe them like they get all their information from a John Wick movie. It would be so easy for the party to drop the matter entirely and throw politically-homeless gun owners a bone by taking suppressors off the NFA.
Force through policies that improve their lives at the cost of others, for example, healthcare paid for by taxing billionaires
Yep! Follow that up with policies that improve people's lives and we have a ticket that writes itself.
Start by no longer telling men who have done nothing wrong they are responsible for the misdeeds of others. It breeds resentment and closes people to anything else you have to say.
I’m confused, OBS works well. What is missing you are desiring?
This is a good change. One of my friends had some confusion over the install button not appearing for some small games, he had to go toggle this on. It being available by default for all games is great!
- Bring lots of audio entertainment pre-loaded on your phone (don't rely on internet) or burnt to a CD. Podcast, audiobook, w/e. Boredom is the mind killer.
- Bring snacks that don't leave your hands dirty.
- Bring a sandwich, it's much cheaper than buying one.
- Bring a refrigerated and a frozen water bottle. The latter will still be cold for the second half of the trip.
- When you stop to pee/get gas, make sure you walk around for a few minutes. Your legs get tired just sitting.
- Both Google and Apple maps supports pre-downloading maps. This is very helpful if you need to set a route and you don't have service where you happen to be.

Other people had this privileged position in society for millennia. The people turning away from progressive politics aren't wearing top hats, their hands are oil-covered. When you tell them they are privileged, that everything is just handed to them by society, they look around and wonder what you are talking about.
