Choose a house with 1 extra room, courtesy of your WFH savings.

An itemized cost paid straight by your employer will have the effect of encouraging them to waste less of your time with a commute. They might try to hire locally, might pay for moving expenses, might keep you out of rush hour traffic, might be worried about keeping you late such that now you’re driving on overtime, might actually align their concerns with the planet’s by reducing all the oil going literally up in flames to transport people around to do knowledge work in a cubicle.

Not HTTPS necessarily, but lots use TLS over 443. If you are sending something like login credentials to an online service, it makes sense for the servers to use what is universally available instead of reinventing the wheel. Also, some games may use a launcher that uses HTTPS if they are web-based in some fashion, or maybe the game will use it for certain kinds of API calls unrelated to actual gameplay.

If you are playing a game that uses a dedicated server (or just isn’t a competitive game at all), then TLS usage is probably unlikely, but those games aren’t lucrative for the account boosting/currency farming that makes cheating so rampant in China anyway.

Even signing up for some games requires you to create an account on their website first.

Maybe all 3 of you can come to an agreement somehow?

Yeah, 10% went to good causes but imagine what the society could afford if 100% went through instead of 0.

It’s the US, so more weapons I presume.

Post the whole playlist you coward. I wanna see just how bad it is.

They do have a special name though - “the product”

I am more attached to the idea of the fediverse as a whole than to Lemmy.

I think we should all be called “feds.”

Bro you either know what the fuck is in that file, or you shouldn’t be renaming it in the first place.

Does the server have to run headless, or can one person still run games locally on it while another has a remote session? That is, would I be able to play on the monitor/mouse/keyboard directly attached, while my partner has a session on a laptop?

Some people see their pre-transition selves as being one gender, and only use their post-transition gender to inform their new pronouns later. It was written by a person that interviewed her and apparently held her in high respect. All we can see is that there is an abrupt change in the pronouns, where Lynn presumably could have considered herself to match the new pronouns. We don’t know without asking her if she was misgendered by the article, and we are a bit late for that.

Found a fan of Big Game Hunters, have we?

It will eventually be supported, and in the interim they have stated that they won’t keep biometric data obtained through ID.me once a verification is completed, or you can opt for an online interview where no biometrics are collected in the first place.

Who knows if ID.me will actually delete the data on their end though, or if the online interview is recorded by the provider.

I didn’t before but now I am glad I did

How much vibration is the computer subjected to? Do you live in a limestone quarry?

I already suggested this in another comment, but you can easily apply a thought experiment here. Magically replace all white people with black people with the same upbringing: does crime go up, down, or basically stay the same? Magically replace all pitbulls with chihuahuas with the same upbringing: do maulings go up, down, or basically stay the same?

Couldn’t tell the cops if the mugger was white or black? Pretty understandable. Couldn’t tell the cops if the dog that bit you was a chihuahua or a pitbull? Really?

Any “big dog with a blocky head” should be banned from breeding or sale, and nobody who agrees with that statement cares about DNA. It is a matter of public safety and it doesn’t matter that humans are the real problem, because humans are notoriously hard to control. The pitbulls and similar breeds we have today deserve all the love and comfort we can give them now, but they shouldn’t be bred into the future because there is no legitimate reason to own one except for its potential for violence and flatulence-scapegoating.

Quick thought experiment - magically replace every pitbull in the world with a chihuahua instead. Do the number of maulings go up or down?
