Updates generally don’t require settings resets. It can happen if there’s major changes but that’s the exception, not the norm. If Chrome updates revert settings to default with any degree of regularity (I actually don’t know if they do, I haven’t really touched Chrome in ten? years) that’s either gross incompetence or sheer malice.

Okay, fair enough, Fo76 was an unmitigated disaster. But what were you expecting from Starfield, exactly?

Honestly, I’m amazed by the hatedom for Starfield. It’s … a Bethesda game (and it’s actually better at being a Bethesda game than Fo4). I’m not sure what people seem to have expected?

Considering that OP’s teachers apparently beat their students (or at least stand idly by while their colleagues do), I’d argue that they do not deserve one ounce of respect.

Make your own instance then. As long as you’re using a service someone else provides for you (free of charge at that), you have to play by their rules.

Imagine having that little understanding of how and why people enjoy modding their games.

The engine is what allows the game to have a thriving modding community already.

I know it is, developers can block downloads unless the user is signed into a Steam account that owns the game. But as an end-user that’s distinction without difference.

That’s even worse though. Plenty of games (e.g. Stellaris and RimWorld) are also available on platforms like GOG or, ugh, Epic. But if you want to use mods and you bought the game on any platform other than Steam it’s fuck you.

Yeah, no. Death threats are acceptable in exactly the following circumstances:

That’s it. Nothing beyond that.

That assumes that everyone will be willing to have children with just about anyone, regardless of their personal opinion of them, and regardless of whether or not they even want children to begin with. You can’t selectively breed humans without massive human rights violations.

You’ve just described Hexbear. :b

The current system is entirely sustainable. It does need reforms, but a regulated market economy combined with strong social welfare programmes is the best economic system we’ve come up with so far, by a very large margin. Planned economies were attempted, they universally failed.

Correct, all diminutives are neuter in German. In this instance the base word is die Magd (historically the maiden, nowadays the maid), which is grammatically female.

Which they technically didn’t. I’m sure Nvidia has a legal team that vetted their solution, they certainly have the money for it. At this point the “protection” against the proprietary driver is just anti-consumer.

31, Germany, I can’t drive at all. City kid.

If by “do your own research” you mean “read the studies” then by all means, go ahead. If, and I guess that’ll be the case for 99% of people without related degrees, you can’t understand them you should accept that you’re in no way equipped to do your own research.

The difference is that the images AIs spit out are, well, real. Imagining someone naked doesn’t produce a potentially very convincing actual image that can be shared.

I do think that AI can’t really be effectively regulated (my fucking laptop can run Stable Diffusion), but that doesn’t mean that there’s no need for a debate.

Not yet. It’s the inevitable outcome of tolerating Nazis on your platform but it takes time, especially with a userbase as large as Twitter’s.
