There certainly is a difference between regular and himalayan salt, with the latter tasting more, like…uhm…cavey? In a good way. The point of iodized salt is not the taste but the actual iodine, which supports your thyroid gland and other parts of the body.

Internet service may vary greatly in quality; also, for all pure and as-us things it’s the source that may matter. I’d pay a little extra for more green options (as in solar electricity, properly treated water, etc. etc.).

The conclusion doesn’t follow the study.

Threatening messages decrease piracy by women by over 50%, while increasing piracy by men by 18%.

So, unless there are three times as many male pirates as female, those messages are effective at reducing piracy.

On the side of authors, please, PLEASE do not use any AI tools when writing your articles.

It’s actually very easy to get into Q3-Q4 with absolute crap, and let’s just respect each other - not to mention keep your reputation :)

I know it’s tedious and I don’t like sitting at 4am writing articles, either, but yeah - it’s important :D

That’s not to say journals shouldn’t do a better job.

Yeah, fair enough. Someone here in the thread already said they use LLMs to just outline what to write and how, and then start something along these lines from scratch

Something simple to the tune of pop!_os and linux mint - Manjaro

No fuss, just great experience and freedom - Debian

You know some fuckery is happening when developers strip you of basic functionality (like, literally, creating another character??) and then give you an option to restore that functionality for real money, irrespective of whether this can be achieved in game.

This makes it more acceptable to implement such practices in the future, and to either make it microtransaction-only or to enable insane levels of grind going forward to stimulate players to take an easy route…with cash.

That’s not to mention that singleplayer/co-op games should never have microtransactions in the first place. You bought it, you are free to enjoy it whichever way you like. Yes, even “ruining your game with OP stuff” and cheating. Whatever strikes your fancy.

While I perfectly agree with your position on that the “privilege” talk has become a weapon in and of itself, and that a lot of bullshit stories come out of it, I’d love it if you could change the tone of conversation.

Americans are different, and they may have cultural reasons to behaving this way. That’s not to say they’re right - but seeding anger this way is not gonna magically change their minds.
