It isn’t bad enough that we’re arming the genocide and the unchecked aggression against Israel’s neighbors? Now we’ve got to fucking participate in it?

TBF, the teenage years are when many kids become fully aware of the shitty aspects of life (although some get it earlier and others stay sheltered forever), and they’re still developing the capacity to deal with it.

This, and the really long late night Girls Gone Wild commercials on Comedy Central. I think the first thing I ever pirated was a GGW video, lmao.

The upside to using ad blockers - no ads!

The downside to using ad blockers - not knowing what any of the movies currently in theaters are.

Same. Buster is my most recent must-have extension for this reason, auto solves like 95% of CAPTCHAs for me.

Yeah the most recent version of CAPTCHA is completely seamless for the end user because there is no more value to be had gathering this kind of data. Instead it runs in the background of the web site, looking at your mouse movements/clicks/keystrokes, and determining whether or not you’re a bot based on that information.

The problem is a lot of websites still use the old version, or their own hacked together CAPTCHA alternative, which decent bots have been able to beat for a while now.

SteamVR and ALVR are the only ones that I’ve gotten to work, no dice on standalone DCS though which was the whole reason I bought the damn headset a couple years ago

Yeah. The article explains whether the IANA rules come from, but this kind of thing happens so rarely that frankly it should be handled on a case by case basis, and in this case the .io domain should just be straight up reassigned to the people that it should always have been assigned to.

True fact once I was getting a drink with my younger brother and he asked me to get him a Prime, kid took about three sips before he gave up on the rest and got a glass of water, lmao.

Holy shit that article has, like, every decent chocolate bar.

tbh this post made me double check my calendar.

before… SCOTUS had been carving out exceptions to the fourth and fifth amendments

They’ve been doing that shit since the country was founded. The fourth and fifth amendments only exist if you’re a rich person and the cops need an excuse not to investigate you.

I’ve heard of card counters getting stopped by security when they try to walk into a casino, there are definitely ways to “make” someone’s car and put it in a database but the tech is still spotty afaik.

My question is if it wasn’t required before and is required now, what changed? It’s not like Google has added a killer feature recently - this is almost certainly related to those shitty AI answers that are forcing your actual search results even further down the page than they were already.

Unless the police are an entirely independent organization, they can still receive orders from the top directing them to seek out fines even if they’re not the ones who directly benefit.

Further proof that anyone who wants anything to do with Nintendo modding should do so completely anonymously. Treat it like you’re hacking a government system or something damn.

IIRC this is what is currently protected in American law, but the problem is that in the time between now and the Sony/Bleem lawsuit Congress passed the DMCA, which has a provision making it illegal to bypass copyright protection. When emulating any modern console, you are naturally required to bypass the copyright protection on the game, which Nintendo would argue makes it illegal to do.

Maybe you could get around this with some kind of emulation scheme that requires the console to be plugged into your PC, like the emulator uses the console’s official hardware for the copyright check and then just takes over rendering the game.

They’ve been doing this for a long time, and it definitely has a depressive effect. Even a big gaming youtubers like Videogamedunkey has commented on how every single time he does a video about a Nintendo game it gets demonetized, and while he can afford to take the financial hit every now and then there are plenty of mid-tier creators who can’t.

money goes to the government

cops get their money from the government

I love that game, but I fucking hate the remake’s artstyle. Its completely put me off from trying Echoes even though the premise and gameplay of that one seem right up my alley.
