Yeah, after some years of DDG getting worse I finally dropped them. I switched to Brave and it’s surprisingly decent for an independent search engine. If you search for something that they don’t have good results for they’ll ask you if you want to get anonymous results from google as well, which means I don’t usually have to switch search engines for harder results.

They do seem to have a much lower number of image results though.

Now the question is who did it better, 8-bit guy or Technology Connections?

A few reasons:

• I feel like any other major company with Steam’s marketshare would be far less consumer friendly than steam.

• Steam funnels a lot of money into Linux, and Linux is very popular on Lemmy. If you use Linux, you are benefiting from Steam’s success.

• Steam is just nice to use, and has good deals. It’s nice to have my games in one place, and I don’t know if any other storefront with as many nice user benefiting features as steam.

Here a link to bypass the paywall:

I don’t think the title translated correctly for me.

The victim had no history of exposure to poultry or animals, the WHO said.

However, they had multiple underlying health conditions and had been in bed for three weeks for other reasons before the bird flu symptoms took hold.

Before the H5N2 case was confirmed, it was unclear whether it could infect humans.

Avian flu viruses generally do not infect humans - but there are rare cases of it.

I know there was an issue not long ago where Sopuli had to defederate from kbin for awhile. Kbin had a federation bug that was endlessly spamming federation updates and it was causing Sopuli to fall behind on federation.

Mbin had a fix up pretty quick, but several attempts to reach the Kbin admin all failed.

I would hope so, but Asus has been doing things like this for at least 10+ years which makes me doubtful that anything will change soon.

Trying to refund through Asus will result in them dragging their feet, being as unhelpful as possible, or claiming you damaged the product.

I maybe didn’t use the best example, but it was less about people actually being religious and instead if they used any sort of popular phrasing that had any slight religious element they would try to turn it into a religion debate.

A better example is that someone might post a polish word, someone else would reply “bless you” acting like the polish word was a sneeze sound, and then the 14-year-old atheists would descend and start a debate.

Reddit in 2010-2012 also had a lot of really insufferable atheists everywhere. Someone would say something like “thank god everyone’s ok” and get downvoted while a bunch of people replied stuff like “if god is responsible for them being ok, then he would also be responsible for the crash and shouldn’t be thanked at all”.

Yeah, I almost bought $20 worth of bitcoin when it was $.008 a bitcoin, which would be worth $168,000,000 today.

But realistically I would have cashed out a long time ago, so it would have been far less significant. I had some friends who bought at the same time though, one bought a car and the other got a healthy downpayment for his house.

Oh for sure, but it’s definitely a concern for stuff like this. It’s a lot easier for valve to just expect people to pass login info down as a way to pass on an account.

Valve actually migrating purchases from one account to another risks upsetting publishers, and requires whole new policies on how to verify death and verify who should receive the account. Finally there’s the risk of scams and having to resolve them. Overall it’s a lot of headache for valve, I’m not surprised they’re not jumping to offer it officially.

If steam did allow transfers this way, I can imagine it being a new type scam where people fabricate death documents to steal steam accounts.

This is focused more on NASA’s problems with the Artemis program, but I highly recommend reading this article.

Basically the whole Artemis mission plan is riddled with issues, and SpaceX and Blue Origin are required to have major breakthroughs in space refueling tech for their required roles to even be possible. With how many different issues the project has, it looks like the only good thing we may get out of the project is these breakthroughs (if they happen).

SpaceX is still making tremendous progress compared to NASA. I’m as annoyed with Musk as everyone else, but it’s looking like they’re the biggest hope we have right now of actually making progress with space exploration.

Yeah. They probably work fine on the deck too, but they can only verify so many games and those are low priority.

This is just steam titles in the verified program. Protondb has 21k steam games that are reported working, and there’s also non-steam games and emulation.

Both characters get a lot of memes/attention in these kind of communities, so they’re expected to be well known if you’ve been otherwise active here (or in any anime group).

For example, I haven’t watched either show, but I know that the green haired girl is Übel from Frieren and the wolf girl is Horo from Spice & Wolf.

Ok, so this is a Lemmy post that links a r/ailess post that links a r/privacy post that finally links this Ars Technica article.

Why not just link the Ars Technica article to begin with? I don’t think there’s any good reason to link all these separate chained discussions.
