Isn't the point of this meme for the low IQ and high IQ people to have the same preference? Any way, I'm on Linux Mint usually -_-

uBlock Origin, it's not even close!

I think it should be a "copy community" feature, then mods can just prevent posts in the old community and make a sticky that points to the new location.

Making users automatically subscribe to a community on a different instance (even if it's "the same community") is pushing it a bit in terms of moderator power. Also makes things worse in terms of exploits and others have pointed out.

It's not a prediction, {Company} will simply push whatever future that benefits {Company}.

I was walking behind two dogs and their owner. I was walking faster than them and one of the dogs looked at me and proceeded to persistently move the other dog to the side so that I could pass. It was absolutely clear it knew what it was doing :)

In a year I had over 200 DAYS played on World of Warcraft back in 2005-2006. That's over 13 hours a day, then I quit abruptly and later tried a couple of expansions casually.

Second is probably Counter-Strike 1.#. No idea actual playing time but would estimate around 1000 hours.

The above two I don't regret spending my time in. Made a lot of friends and it all felt rewarding.

Then there are games like Civilization VI (200 hours), Rimworld (300 hours), Tropico (200 hours) and even Path of Exile (500 hours). These games are not really rewarding, other than little dopamine hits that gets you continuing playing forever.

Edit: Added hours!

In the NW, I was welcomed for who I was. In the South, I was not.

As a northern European I know nothing about this. But why are you allowed to generalize and discriminate against "southerners" and they are not against your "group"? Imo thinking tribally like this is really hurting all of us.

I can afford to buy or subscribe to services but at this point streaming is just more annoying than pirating. With pirating I can use my favorite player (mpv), maximize video quality (high quality blu-ray rips), watch offline, no bugs or buffering, instant seeking et.c. As for games I might pirate a game before buying it but usually I just buy it since it's convenient (unless it has intrusive DRM).

Make another post in 2 months, if it still has no cumstains I accept your proof.

I'm European. My first thoughts go to immense and diverse cultural heritage, pollution, amazing food, food sickness...

The issue is that users might object to subscribing to a community on a particular instance. I guess it's not the end of the world, you can always unsubscribe but I can imagine some people being very upset to be associated with certain politically leaning instances or worse.

It was so easy to spend time in early WoW. The community was awesome before all the sharding and LFG/LFR tooling!

He's still a great player. Probably the only reason he brought up retirement was to distract us from the Lakers getting swept.

• Counter-Strike
• SiN
• Delta Force
• Baldur's Gate

Counter-Strike overtook the others by a mile in the 00s but in the 90s I probably enjoyed Delta Force more actually.

I'm a millennial but I also have an interest in computing before my time. The possibility of understanding the computer entices me, whereas modern computing is more interested in understanding me.

Good move. Marketing something for gaming risks devaluing their brand, not because gaming is bad but because there are so many hucksters in that market. A good headphone is a good headphone!

This is just gaming revenue, otherwise Microsoft and Apple would clear.

I use a 42" 4K monitor. Same working area as 4 x 21" 1920x1080 screens but more flexible. Been doing so for ~10 years. When my old 39" 4K monitor broke I used 2 x 24 inch monitors + laptop screen for a while but I ended up buying another big monitor instead, it's just so convenient.

Got my first PC when I was ~8 in the 90s. My dad explicitly told me not to touch the 110v-220v switch on the back of the PSU. It didn't take long :)

Usually just a physical SIM but I've used pre-paid eSIMs in other countries. Quite convenient!
