I recommend it a lot, it's very entertaining for team fights and quick tactics, rather than waiting 20 mins for the fun to begin or waiting for your JG to do something in SR

It's somewhat better but heavily depends on what you play and how you play it. Empirically, it's better as now I only find toxic players every 20 games or so, when before it was like 1/2. But I also recommend to just mute everything and everyone and stick to ARAM if you don't like toxicity.

I saw the article mentioned he had defended the Oct 7 attack so after some googling:

Soon after the 7 October Hamas attack – which killed about 1,200 people, mostly civilians, with about 240 kidnapped – Alareer caused outrage during a BBC interview by calling it “legitimate and moral” and “exactly like the Warsaw ghetto uprising”, the broadcaster said.

Yikes. Defending oct 7 was pretty fucked up move on his behalf but what Israel keeps doing is arguably worse. Both Hamas and Israel leadership need to be removed from this world…

It's a very common word in other languages (Spanish) but my brain didn't even process it correctly the first time I saw it in English lol

HN is a news aggregator where users can find and discuss the latest news and submit content on anything that gratifies one’s intellectual curiosity. YC alumni also post engineering, product, and design jobs on HN.

It has pretty interesting discussions most of the time, the comments are usually very technical, but you can find pretty much the average Lemmy/reddit type of stuff there.

They'll likely charge a small amount for a subscription to access your free games.

Hey that's the cat that points when he wants something

choices don't matter

It was a painful experience to have to murder everyone in the scarlet fleet station to continue with the quest. I couldn't get rid of the bounty since it was in the millions by the time I was doing those quests.

It was just so bad…

Some clients have post and comment score across instances visible, see Voyager

By having an upvote / downvote system it already has a censoring and ranking system.

If you look at most threads people downvote dissenting opinions regardless of the quality of their arguments, some instances become echo chambers that way.

You can easily control the narrative by upvoting someone that argues against you, most people will see your comment as

1 upvote 1 downvote

And the person arguing with you as

2 upvotes

Therefore they will be biased to downvote you further and upvote the other person as their social calibration defaults to thinking you are in the wrong as someone else said so already, it's more economical that way as you won't really have to do that assessment.

It's a very interesting phenomenon and I'd like to do some formal testing with it across multiple social media with upvote/downvote functions, but I believe it does censor opinions that do not adhere to the usual feelings of the majority.

I'd argue that actual systemic changes are required to not only punish, but also prevent these things from being allowed to happen.

I admit having free press that can report it is definitely a good step forward though… although now that I wanted to double check some facts on the article I see that it was just removed?

🤔 Can you check if it's still available to you?

Earlier this year, the State Customs Service of Ukraine registered 653 cases of disappeared humanitarian cargo for military purposes. Some of the missing materials included plates for body armor, night vision devices, thermal imagers, drones, and military vehicles.

How the fuck are they "disappearing" military vehicles, having a whole third of the donations just vanish is really messed up.

Ukraine has got to get its shit together and really fight corruption in a more meaningful way.

I've had a good experience with YouTube comments but I feel they are pretty pointless as:

• there is no search function:Ctrl f only takes you so far as it just looks at what is currently present and sometimes even hidden by display more or within replies, it's very annoying.

• people spam a lot and comments only load in batches: 10k comments in popular videos saying shit like 'sir thank you sir, excellent tutorial, I didn't understand anything but I like using React'.

• some comments get auto removed: if you want to post a workaround or some piece of code, it gets removed if there's a link or link-looking structure.

I mostly comment on tech-related tutorials just to post a list of the issues I had and the solutions, from time to time I get pinged with more questions and people are generally grateful and sometimes other people mention better/easier workarounds.

Already uninstalled, Starfield was just entertaining for 80 hours, which is still great, but definitely not as Skyrim or Fallout4, I've got thousands of hours on those. Out of the people in my social circles, the ones that are still playing are doing so because they can only play very little due to work, but everyone else is already moving off with 40-60 hours in the game.

For anyone else that is curious:

Jewish News Syndicate (JNS) is the fastest-growing news agency covering Israel and the Jewish world. We provide news, briefs, features, opinions and analysis to 100 print newspapers and digital publications on a daily basis.

Subtitles forced as on.

Or at the very least, the option to choose subtitles right away at the very start of the game.

I fucking hate when games have intro scenes or full chapters where you can't pause or bring up the menu and you cannot turn on subtitles and I just don't play games without subtitles (when the game has dialogue).

Phones can have double sims, and WhatsApp web (been out for years by now) can be used on any decent Desktop Browser, it can also be installed as a PWA and I think there is a WhatsApp Desktop version as well.

That's right I guess, never thought of it that way

First of all, how dare you?

You just can't get on the internet one day and just decide to spew this foulness about a game!

I thought it was just an normal opinion and I get the hate for the game but your second paragraph was just unhinged and insane.

It was incredibly disappointing when I was exploring a world and landed near a factory, killed everything then I pick a random spot and I land once more near a factory, to my surprise EVERY SINGLE THING was completely the same the same Vaa Run loot hidden in the vents, the exact same food in the living quarters, the same locked weapon rack and the same enemies at the same positions. This is the laziest fucking game I've seen in a while.
