No, they don't. I actually think the biggest harmful thought the wealthy have imposed is a sort of learned helplessness and apathy "it doesn't matter because the rich control everything."
They want you to think they're untouchable because if nobody ever tries nobody will succeed.

I kinda think instance blocks at the user level are the right way to handle this. If you don't want to have your content federate with my rather small server... I mean okay, but I'd mostly just be annoying it required me to fulfill that request manually rather than it being something you did.

Very very different crashes.
The planes that hit the twin towers were bigger, going faster, and had more fuel.
The twin towers themselves were also built with a different skyscraper design at well that used fewer steel beams. I don't remember what the names of the skyscraper design types were but I remember a 9-11 history channel program going into it.

Well that's not good... I'll have to find some other way to keep my phone in sync...
Maybe proton drive's sync is finally good enough...

Literally remember people saying they didn't vote for Clinton in 2016 because she didn't pay attention to their state. That was their excuse anyways.
People are wild.

I was thinking the same thing... new technology that people don't trust, so they lease it rather than own it and potential get stuck with a massive repair bill.

That seems incredibly unconvincing on its own. It sounds like this person had a lot of alt accounts, probably was doing ban evasion, and kept posting things that violated the TOS.

Honestly I'm not that concerned with the author's perspective.
Yeah maybe these cars would be running around more... But also consider how nice it would be to have actual downtowns where you don't have to worry about parking. That's a huge plus both due to the reduced parking pressure and the reduced need to spend acres on parking lots.
I'm not even convinced they'd be driving around that much more. Sure a robotaxi needs customers, but driving around aimlessly doesn't make money. I don't believe that taxi drivers increase traffic vs everyone driving their own car to crowded places and circling around trying to find parking. If a human driver is dropping someone off at soccer practice they're also not staying for that, they're going home ... which unless home is close is probably not more efficient than a robotaxi trying to pick up riders it's already near.

I'm hoping Godot becomes a serious competitor but I'm also thinking CryEngine 6 might be a true UE5 competitor. It's basically the WIP engine for Hunt Showdown and Crysis 4.

And for a damn good reason... Companies need money to operate. Proton may not be for profit like Google, but they are not a charity either.
Very little is free without strings, what's been normalized (in a bad way) is the concept that you can have free things that don't intrude asking for money. That only happens in the venture capital "get em hooked" stage (and we've seen a lot of it because the Internet is still relatively young). Even KDE is now asking for money (granted once a year ... but your usage of their desktop doesn't require them to run expensive servers).

This works to some extent. I have a house that used to be a rental.
I had one lady tell me she couldn't take MY HOUSE off their list because I am not the guy who signed up for the mail. Even though that guy hasn't lived here in years.
Someone else used this address for a business... After they no longer even lived here. So I had to take that up with the state and got their business license revoked.

Who has time to visit a park?
Me.
There are no more neighborhood stores of any kind.
Depends on the neighborhood.
No one can afford a coffee shop.
Seriously? Then how are there so many in business?
And who wants to talk to random strangers at the bus stop?
I'm game. I do it in airports, we have fun.

Perhaps I'm missing something, but I read that as "that's the current state and they're still looking into changing it."
Maybe that's exactly what you're saying ... and yeah, I guess that makes things a bit more second class, but as someone that's switched all my GPUs on Linux boxes over to AMD, I don't even have GUI settings. That's a pretty minor thing.

My frustration is they said "it's going to be a massive ripoff" in response to an article that says absolutely nothing about price with 0 context to where they got pricing information.

This is Crytek's latest survey asking for feedback on the update and future game direction.
Crytek posted a status update today [on Reddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/HuntShowdown/comments/1fgq66z/hunt_launch_one_month_update_stillwater_bayou/). **Stillwater Update 2.0.1 – PC Steam, Ps5, Xbox Series – week of September 16th-20th** - Visually enhanced Stillwater Bayou map returning to rotation. - Fixed bugs that could cause dedicated servers to crash. - Resolved additional infrequent crashes possible during gameplay. - Fixed an issue where a black screen might appear when launching the game for the first time on Windows 10 **UI Specific Changes coming with Stillwater Update 2.0.1 – same as above** - Clicking on Bloodline Info above the hunter in the lobby now opens the player profile. - Currencies in the menu header (top-left) now display in their respective colors. - Streamlined 'Quit' button interaction for keyboard and mouse users. - Updated 2D icons. - Added a shortcut command for 'Inspect Equipment' in the Lobby screen. - Favorite filter improvements. - Owned items will always appear first in the inventory. - Removed Gear from the Top Navigation. - Removed the 'Sell' confirmation popup window from the Gear screen. - Blood Bond prices are now more prominent when purchasing skins. - A distinct gold popup added for items requiring Blood Bonds to purchase. And because of the clear emphasis on the need for reworking and improving the UI we also have this list of in progress changes targeting release in our October Update. Some fixes may arrive earlier, but it is important that we now shift to blending the work of bug fix patches with previously planned content updates. **Update 2.1 (incomplete list, this partial list focused on UI specifically) – All platforms, TBD October** - Hunter paper doll loadout slots available in the Gear screen. - Dedicated play button in top nav. - Full shortcut button & key binding pass for clarity, consistency, and ease of use. - Filters and sorting remembered between games. - KDA shown in player details from Lobby. - Individual charms attached to any number of weapons again, no single application restriction. - Teammate's hunter level shown in the lobby. - Affordable and unaffordable traits are easier to visually differentiate. - The Grid View is set as the standard view for Recruit Screen. - "Show 3d item" added to the contextual side panel. - 280+ assorted minor bug fixes Beyond the near-term updates above, our Road Map goals from last year continue with improvements and features still in development but not yet ready for release such as new ping limits, improved team chat functions, trade window improvements, and third slot matchmaking for duos wanting to add a random teammate. More details on those improvements will come as they approach release readiness in specific updates. Thank you all again for your patience, your support, your feedback, and your criticisms. All of it is vital to improving the live service experience. We are mindful of both our successes and our shortfalls, and we are focused on the strongest future possible. We will not achieve any of it without a supportive and dedicated player base.

Thursday, an update will go out to fix the following on the back end: - Loadouts: fixing several bugs, most notably an issue where attempting to save stacks of 2 Consumables into a loadout fails to equip them. - Game Lobby: fixing an issue where under specific conditions during high load, attempts at connecting to Dedicated Servers sometimes fail. - General stability and system resilience improvements. Next week they're hoping to deploy client hotfix #1 which should fix the following issues: - The game can sometimes hard lock when opening the map during active banishment in Bounty Hunt. - Occasionally, the Mission Summary is unavailable after Soul Survivor or Bounty Hunt Missions. - Scope views are sometimes rendered with heavy blur. - Players can select and apply a region even when the ping limit is above maximum. They've acknowledged the following issues and intended to address them on a weekly or bi-weekly patch basis as work progresses: - Game crash on consoles when adjusting the HDR setting - Potential crash when too many light sources are triggered simultaneously - Potential game stutter when entering Dark Sight - Hunter recruitment issues when dismissing a Hunter and changing regions - Performance drops when encountering the Hellborn - Specific compound-related performance drops - Infrequent game stutter and render delay when your Hunter is downed - Red menu cursor remains on screen in-Mission - Windows 10 issue with black screen on launch due to fire wall focus and Windows Security Alert - KDA and KD stat misrepresentation in the UI for Statistics and My Team - Menu preferences for filters and sorting are not saving properly - Bandwidth issues with News Feed updates On the black shadows some have experienced: > The AMD RX5xx class of cards are considered below spec for Hunt: Showdown 1896 but we've seen the number of machines (roughly 3% of players attempting to play) with that class of card and are investigating an engine change to lower the requirement of dx12_1 so that dx12_0 cards are able to run without the offending shadows, we will update when one of the Hot Fixes are confirmed to be ready with that change. On the UI feedback ... their internal testing showed it as being better for new players but moderately disliked by veteran players. They did test it but did not get this level of visceral feedback and are basically saying "we're very sorry. We'll be improving it as fast as we can." They've also acknowledged the store skins showing up in the page to equip skins and have apologized: - Undisputed full refunds if you send a ticket to customer service when you make an accidental purchase. Apologies this shouldn't be needed. - Hot Fix in works that fixes remembering your filters and you can filter them to not show up in your menu. Apologies again, should not have shipped this way. - Even if you leave them visible the iconography should be more clear and confirm to buy should be a hold button not a press.

So, I'm trying to clone an SSD to an NVME drive and I'm bumping into this "dev-disk-by" error when I boot from the NVME (the SSD is unplugged). I can't find anyone talking about this in this context. It seems like what I've done here should be fine and should work, but there's clearly something I and the arch wiki are missing.

Hi folks, what sorts of things have you been doing on destiny lately? What are you finding fun? I thought the new campaign was good, but I'm increasingly finding it difficult to put time into Destiny post campaign. The gunplay is still great but ... the game has felt repetitive and little frustrations like ambiguity about how you get the new exotic class items just really are getting on my nerves. I spent probably 4 hours today redoing the same overthrow and feeling to get the wizards to spawn. I don't mean for this to be a negative post, but yeah; what do you enjoy about Destiny the most in 2024? Anyone here having similar feelings about the game?

The times dives into an intelligence report on how TikTok's political algorithm anomalies align with the CCP's Geostrategic Objectives https://networkcontagion.us/wp-content/uploads/A-Tik-Tok-ing-Timebomb_12.21.23.pdf This report highlights major differences in the prevalence of hashtags related to subjects like Hong Kong Protests, Tainanmen Square, Tibet, the South China Sea, Taiwan, Uyghurs, Pro-Ukraine, and Pro-Isreal when compared to other major social media platforms. Additionally the times cited a Wall Street Journal analysis (https://www.wsj.com/tech/tiktok-israel-gaza-hamas-war-a5dfa0ee) which "found evidence that TikTok was promoting extreme content, especially against Israel.

Hi all, I'm visiting a relative that has a Google WiFi system with multiple access points. There's an access point literally right next to me that I can see in the KDE BSSID list with 100% connection strength. For some reason, it's instead picking a BSSID with only 60% strength. Does anyone have any thoughts on why it's choosing this access point instead of one of the others? Is this something the Google WiFi controls/suggests to the laptop, is something bugged, or is there a good reason Linux might be choosing this particular access point? EDIT: It turns out the access point placement was actually just really bad, and the access point in question was not even making it to the rest of the LAN... The speed difference between my phone and laptop seems to be just that, something to do with a difference between the framework and the Pixel's wireless cards (or drivers). Even with everything corrected, the Pixel is significantly out performing the framework.
