Long story short, they severely fail to deliver on their promises and also mismanaged their development incentives so that they are not financially interested to ever release, or even make the game fully playable.

That was my concern long ago when I entered the game.
The problem is, CIG have financially incentivised themselves, knowingly or not, to never finish the game.
Being alpha game means you can wipe everything again and again. And they do! One thing they do not touch, however, are ships purchased with real world money. And players do buy those ships in order to not start the game from scratch over and over again, and pay a lot for it, in hundreds and often thousands of dollars!
Upon release, on the other hand, no wipes are planned, and this means one thing: revenue will absolutely plummet as players just buy ships for in-game currency instead of actual cash. Releasing the game now is a suicide move, as CIG won't be able to blatantly extort players for their money anymore.

How about all the Russians getting forced in to a war just to die?
Just to clarify: do you suggest to murder everyone who was forced to get onto the battlefield, or do you mean Putin does this to them?

Yeah, normally IBS folks do not have issue with every single group of FODMAPs, it's just a general recommendation to lower them all, then see what can be added without issues.
Good to know xylitol helps! And quite interesting, too.
As per gluten, it's probably not gluten, yeah, but fructans (oligosaccharides, you're right on that), mainly inulin - they can trigger IBS as well.
Sourdough breads should probably feel somewhat better then, as fructans are partially degraded through a long fermentation.

Piracy via torrents.
Called green after μTorrent which previously dominated the sphere of torrent managers.
Nowadays, I'd rather offer qBittorrent, and it's blue :D

System will work, but it will gradually get less and less secure, which can get quite bad.
There is an insane amount of ways to break Windows XP and even Windows 7, it's basically script kiddie's level of knowledge.
And there are real exploits out in the wild that target such systems specifically - while the pool of potential victims is smaller, they're very easy to target unless they are competently firewalled.

As someone who tangentially studies IBS, have you tried to follow a low-FODMAP diet? It doesn't remove everything, but makes it easier and is currently the best approach according to studies.

I might be wrong on the side of cost efficiency, this is just common perception and you can inform me, but where did I tell anything about Musk himself?
I do think he is an asshole, but this is irrelevant to the topic

Not a fan, but it generally boils down not to where they can fly but how they differ in other aspects, mainly cost.
SpaceX is currently the world pioneer in heavy reusable rockets, which is another way to say they are the only ones to launch big stuff up there so cheap, and it gets even better.
They are essentially doing the good side of capitalism - making stuff cheaper - applied to space, one of the most expensive industries in the world.

Really though. You're working for free for a publisher that executes a massive grift.
You do it for science, kinda, but really what are they gonna do if everyone refuses?

No one's gonna allow them to use Sci-Hub en masse

One way to breathe a new life into multiplayer shooters could be removing any guns from healers. Make them potent, but vulnerable! Why is it important: * Players that don't like shooting, but love teamwork would finally be represented (yes, I'm speaking of your girlfriend!) * Having to protect healers would benefit more organized teams, rewarding teamwork * Healers would have a more dynamic gameplay revolving around avoiding damage: stealthy movement, ability to quickly traverse dangerous zones, coordination with fellow teammates are all required to benefit your team as a healer What might need to be tweaked: * Healers should be made into the only revivors, and we should either punish death more (which we'd better be careful of if that's a dynamic game) or give buffs on revival * Healers should get more movement abilities to increase survivability. They may also get speed boost when running towards teammates (similar to Conduit Savior's Speed in Apex Legends) * Team compositions should accommodate for several healers as to not introduce a single point of failure Overall, I think it could introduce a new dynamic to team arenas and skirmishes, as winning now requires more coordination within a team and better understanding of everyone's roles.
Whenever I see threads and comments about privacy-related or sensitive topics, I often see concerns about China in particular stealing all that data. Why is China, a country across a vast ocean, is seen as a bigger threat in that regard than US itself? Unlike Chinese, the local government does have power over its residents and can actually use this information against you (and it does have a record for doing exactly that). The only places where Chinese espionage would be a concern (military, high-tech industry) lay way beyond what an everyday American faces regularly. So, is it a new red scare, or is there a substance behind it that I fail to see?
Alrightie, so here I am, going for my very own PhD! Getting here was still a lot of stress and I was looking for this moment for a while. Now, finally, it actually happens :) Science will prevail!
It is no secret that prolonged exposure to loud sound is highly damaging to our hearing. Listening to loud music is one of the common factors leading to degraded hearing ability and tinnitus, and is deeply unhealthy. At the same time, such level of noise negatively impacts the quality of sound perception, which degrades the *musical* side of the *musical* performance. In what seems to be the echoes of the so-called "loudness war", bands still stick to the idea that "the louder you blast it - the better". But it's not true. There are many other ways to energize the crowd without causing them sound damage, and I'd love to see more of those, instead of them trying to be the loudest ever.
So, I recently got interested with the idea of an atomic distro, particularly the derivatives of Fedora Kinoite (currently testing Aurora). What's your experience with them? What are the unexpected troubles and did you manage to resolve them? Do you feel it's worth it to learn the nuances of their use? Also, on a personal testing note, did you manage to properly run AppImages and what did you do to make it happen? I couldn't properly run them either natively or via Fedora toolbox on Aurora. (Also, I borked Aurora within 4 hours of trying to install Outline VPN that consistently had issues with tunneling).
If brown is actually a darker shade of orange ([Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brown)), then how do we get light brown and not orange? How is it possible to be light and a "darker shade" at the same time?
So, there's a girl I had a crush on for a while, and recently she (I didn't tell her of my feelings) came ahead and actually told me she is into me for a while. And...yeah? Boom, apparently I'm in a relationship with my crush who also crushed on me, and I couldn't be happier! Can't wait to see where this leads us...hopefully somewhere good!
Just updated to Plasma 6, and got a question: is there a way to make the bottom panel keep at the bottom (like when fullscreen windows are opened) and not float regardless of windows? Just always stay there without moving, like in Plasma 5. Or is it dictated by the theme/hardcoded into Plasma 6?
I know Lemmy isn't normally the best place to search for this, but are there any high-quality right-wing explainers, or modern books, or media outlets? I myself am ultra-left (quite literally communist, to the dictionary sense of the word), but I'd like to quit the bubble that inevitably forms around and look at good arguments of the opposing side, if there are any. Is there anything in there beyond temporarily embarrassed millionaires and fears that trans people will destroy humanity? Is there rational analysis, something closer to academic research, behind modern ideas of laissez-faire capitalism and/or political conservatism? I've tried outlets like PragerU, but they are so basic they seem to target a very uncritical audience. I'd like to see the world in the eyes of an enlightened right-winger, and see where they possibly fail (or if suddenly they have valid arguments).
Is there any reason, beyond corporate greed, for SMS messages to cost so much? If I get it right, an SMS message is just a short string of data, no different from a message we send in a messenger. If so, then what makes them so expensive? If we'd take Internet plans and consider how much data an SMS takes, we should pay tiny fraction of a cent for each message; why doesn't that happen?
Won a scientific competition that will allow me to pursue PhD - all paid by the government! Now I can apply to PhD programs of top universities of my country without exams and pursue my dreams! Very happy and currently fairly speechless :D
This seems to be the most active local community, but it is random (and different!) people posting basic abstract pictures of birds in about the same style, with nobody engaging in commenting or even upvoting it. Is there anyone who can explain the concept?
I never thought I could fall in love with a fictional character, it was very distant to me - but hey, here we are! Himitsu Ito - a character of "[Love, money, rock'n'roll](https://store.steampowered.com/app/615530/Love_Money_RocknRoll/)" visual novel (which I totally recommend btw - for its genre, the thing is surprisingly deep and detailed, and story is actually revolving around many things at once, not reserved for romance). Himitsu's everything - smart, beautiful, deeply loyal, caring, confident, and safe (if only quite jealous, but she has her reasons). At the same time, she has quite a character, and isn't just a follower - she can and does lead, and does it for the good of you both. She empowers to be a greater man, she is a role model for a caring, compassionate partner, strong on the inside and fluffy on the outside. She is the kind of girl with whom you just can't be scared, and even her virtual presence allows me to go through hardships easier and strive to improve. One day, I hope to meet a girl like her - and we'll do great things together. (Unfortunately, I don't have credits for the author of this beautiful art - if you are or know one, let me know!)
As Funimation drama unravels, here's a reminder for you that [yt-dlp](https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp) is able to download Funimation videos.

Just received a simple ultracheap drone from China and couldn't be happier. It flies (a little crappy)! It films (like a super old phone, but still)! Gonna use it to get my bearings while havigating on my bike through unknown places - love to have some eagle view!
Just realized that for the instance of over 800 people, some of which are very active on the Lemmyverse, we have surprisingly little community activity on the inside. So, maybe let's make a chat? How's everyone doing today? :)
 I just had two different rolls of toilet paper sitting in my bathroom, and looking at them from the shower I got an epiphany. Some rolls are soft on both sides, while some only on external one! And if you have the latter and tend to rip two squares and fold (and it's easier to fold downside up), if you hang it over you'll end up with the rough side! Those people just don't want to hurt their bums! All while the rest enjoys more easy access to toilet paper while hanging it over. Endless debate...solved?
