"Physical copies" is a big ask, considering they would also have to be selling the hardware to run those games.

To your credit, they aren't actually selling most of their back catalog anymore, since their e-shops that sold games for the WiiU/3DS are closed down, and with them, the Virtual Console died. Now we've only got a subscription-based library to play a much more limited selection of old games.

Either way, it's not Nintendo's fault you pirate games. You want to play old games, and you don't want to pay too much money for them, so you pirate them. Let's be real.

It still makes me sad that Bruce Dickenson was Pro-Brexit.

Your question is confusing, but I think the answer is...

Racist people heard something. Racist people think it's a fact. Racist people extrapolate from that thing they heard and assume the extrapolation is also a fact.

Who did Israel endorse?

Implying that game cases end up in the trash... especially when they're usually used to hold games these days?

You need to see more game collections! Haha

People have been deriding digital-only games for years and years now. While a stupid F2P game isn't the best thing to put on a disc, I can see why people might want it.

If you have some sort of decent antivirus/antimalware like Malwarebytes, that would work for standalone applications to an extent.

Browser extensions are a lot harder to check.

Always make sure you get the RIGHT extension from the PROPER SOURCE. Same with most downloads and app store stuff on your mobile devices, but at least with executables, you can additionally run virus scans for some peace of mind.

Some tips...

  • Always make sure you're accessing the extension's download/install page from a trusted source.
  • Check reviews AND READ THEM. Make sure they don't look suspicious/bot-generated.
  • Consider what permissions you're giving the extension. Your browser has a lot of personal and sensitive information... including the "keys" to a lot of your accounts. Basically any website that you don't need to sign into every time you access it? That "key" is stored in your browser.

I believe you can generally trust what permissions an extension or app needs (since the browser/device knows which permission an extension/app uses, and locks them away otherwise), but be wary of the implications of some of them (such as data from other websites, or accessibility features).

Sounds similar to where I live. The busybodies can be annoying, and fraud (etc.) can be a problem. But I won't let perfect be the enemy of good to my opinion.

HOAs are rare where I live, but we often have property management that oversees multiple units to take care of and fund common elements.

They're not all perfect, but most aren't nearly as bad as what I've heard about HOAs.

I think you're missing the key part of the problem. It isn't the AI that's the issue.

The problem is that he was being paid for how many listeners his AI songs got. But he used bots to "listen" to the songs. Nobody actually listened to his AI music.

The flaw in the system was that they couldn't detect his bots. (And the bots are not AI)

Lol...I don't know what to tell you. It happens.

Even if I thought good pizza is enjoyable to anybody, I'm not going to disagree with the idea that someone could possibly dislike good pizza.

So there we have it. The two ends of the spectrum of movies made for children: Heroin and Shrek.

[-] otp@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 week ago

I don't follow. You're disagreeing with the possibility than an adult would find a good children's movie to be boring? Lol

I know MediaBiasFactCheck is not a be-all-end-all to truth/bias in media, but I find it to be a useful resource.

It makes sense to downvote it in posts that have great discussion -- let the content rise up so people can have discussions with humans, sure.

But sometimes I see it getting downvoted when it's the only comment there. Which does nothing, unless a reader has rules that automatically hide downvoted comments (but a reader would be able to expand the comment anyways...so really no difference).

What's the point of downvoting? My only guess is that there's people who are salty about something it said about some source they like. Yet I don't see anyone providing an alternative to MediaBiasFactCheck...

  1. Tap search button on the bottom.

  2. Search like normal for communities with the search term. Results returned like normal.

  3. Clicking the unfilled heart (to subscribe) results in the error presented in the attached screenshot.

  4. The back button (Android) doesn't work. App must be force-closed.

  5. The subscribing action was successful; discovered on reboot.

  6. Repeating the steps, but instead of the unfilled heart, clicking on the community successfully navigates to the community.

  7. This didn't happen before.

  8. I might be one update behind current as of Mar 18
