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.

As someone with a competitive sports background (swimming), yeah, no. This shit would get you disqualified and, if repeated, banned from competition for life in most sports. It’s not a necessary part of any competition.

No Kompromat needed, just PiS doing PiS things. Poland banned imports of Ukrainian grain (because PiS has a largely rural support base and the farmers don’t appreciate the competition), Ukraine filed a complaint with the World Trade Organisation, so now the Polish government is throwing what in political science is called a tamper tantrum.

Kindergarten. But my parents never really cared. I was told “know your audience” not “don’t say that”.

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.

Und es ist trotzdem kein rein digitales Ticket geworden. Ich hab zum Beispiel ne Chipkarte von der BVG, einfach weil der nicht im blödesten möglichen Moment der Akku ausgehen kann.

Wenn du kein Handyticket willst, dann musst du dir auch keins zulegen. Gibt genug Verkehrsverbünde die dir nach wie vor physische Tickets verkaufen, und da das Deutschlandticket bundesweit gültig ist ist es völlig egal ob dein lokaler Verbund das nicht tut.

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.

Convergent evolution is a thing. Aliens that live in similar natural habitats and that fill similar ecological niches as humans will likely evolve along similar lines due to facing similar pressures. With that said, this is a very big assumption and all that it really tells us is that it is not impossible for “humanoid” alien life to exist.

Also, whatever is out there, we’ll never know for certain. Distances are just too large. Space is so incredibly, unfathomably big that it’s almost certain that there’s other intelligent life out there. However, space is also so incredibly, unfathomably big that it’s almost certain that we’ll never meet it.

It’s probably still going to take some projects with it. If you’ve sunk hundreds or even thousands of manhours into a project you can’t just… do it again, or at least not always. Especially not if you’ve invested money as well as time, which is probably the case for most indie projects that aren’t literal one-person shows.

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.

Sie ist gegen AmeriKKKa und mag Daddy Vladdy und Xi Jinpooh weil die auch gegen AmeriKKKa sind und deshalb ja einfach gut sein müssen.

Das ist unironisch in etwa das Weltbild der Wagenknecht-Linken.

Prinzipiell stimme ich dir da ja zu, aber welche Alternative hätte die Ukraine hier gehabt?

Ich glaube nicht, dass das ein echtes Problem ist. Es gibt einfach nicht genug Dienstleister damit das zur übergroßen Hürde wird. In Deutschland sind praktisch nur Visa und Mastercard relevant, gerade wenn es um einfache Debitkarten geht. Der Händler braucht also zwei Verträge, einen mit Visa und einen mit Mastercard, alles weitere läuft zwischen dem Kartenanbieter und der ausstellenden Bank.

Noch keine weite Verbreitung. Das Konzept “kostenlose Debitkarte, x€/monat Girocard” sich bei den Banken aber immer mehr durch. Und der Durchschnittskunde in Deutschland ist daran gewöhnt, dass seine “normale” Karte praktisch überall akzeptiert wird (oder jedenfalls überall da, wo Kartenzahlung möglich ist, hat ja lange genug gebraucht bis das üblich war) und beschuldigt daher wohl eher den Laden als die Bank.
