Good news for those that enjoy the mode. Personally as a tank main who moonlights as support, 6v6 was not for me (even though I had OW since launch in 2016).
Playing just brought back the trauma of OW1 one-trick roadhog tank duos and healbotting, and going back to 5v5 felt good to me, even with all the counterwatching.
Definitely wouldn't be surprised - MS have been making noises about reducing the level of access non-core Windows services get after the cloudstrike fiasco, and given MS's patch stability lately, I would also not be surprised if something leaked out early.
Yeah I don't understand the faux outrage here, but maybe that's because I'm not in a parasocial relationship with these influencers.
I always wondered how Honey made any money, so this answers that question and is actually a pretty ingenious (if somewhat underhanded) mechanism.
I tried the app/QR code for my commute on Wednesday and it was borked both ways. In the morning the QR code is wouldn't load at all, with the app claiming there wasn't any internet connection. Luckily I got on a bus that didn't even have the new readers installed.
The way home wasn't much better with the app generating a code to tap on, but then being unable to tap off since the code was now invalid.
That being said, I saw a lot of people tap on and off with cards without issue, so it seems that part is working well - it's unfortunate that you seem to need to use the app to get the auto top-up discount or to get a travel concession.
This may be the doomer in me, but I fear this will spell the end of Aussie.zone - Lemmy fits the definition of social media, but I don't know how it's feasible for @lodion to verify every user's age...
Patents are (at their core) a good thing. It protects little Jimmy Inventor from putting hours and his blood, sweat and tears into coming up with a novel invention, only for some big corpo to see it, steal the idea and bully Jimmy out of the market.
Jimmy has legal recourse to sue the big corpo if he has a patent, whereas without one he has nothing.
Just because the system's been gamed (especially in the US) doesn't mean it's impossible to reform, and is currently still better than nothing.
This is useful for updates so you're not bottlenecked as much (if you don't have automatic background updates set up).
All it takes is some standardized markup like schema.org
Which is the problem AI is solving here - getting every supermarket chain to agree on this (when it's actually against their interests to do so, since it increases price transparency) would be an impossible task, but AI can get around this requirement with minimal extra effort.
I'm hardly an AI evangelist, but this is actually one of the rare situations where it's a good fit.
Really looking forward to this once it's complete! I'm currently using ranmaru22's vertical tabs, but having something native that won't risk breaking with FF updates will be nice.
That article hurt a little to read - it's not a T-Rex, it's so obviously a Utahraptor I'm a bit flabbergasted that made it to print. But I guess not everyone had my obsession with dinosaurs as a child...
The amount of people bootlicking a corporation's decision to cut costs rather than just moderate effectively is pretty astonishing for Lemmy,
Plenty of people got value out of the comment section - if nothing else, they were invaluable in knowing when to skip past the recap/opening theme/filler content in long-running shows like One Piece.
Most of it is pretty inane, but there was some useful stuff in there, and I always found it fun to see what other people thought of particularly crazy episodes.
If you don't fill in all the boxes for the House of Representatives ballot paper, you've voted informally and wasted your vote.
If you let your vote exhaust for the Senate ballot paper, you signal that you don't have an opinion on who should get elected once your selected candidates have been eliminated, which basically amounts to throwing your vote away if your preferences haven't already contributed to electing someone.
