I can't help but wonder how long it will be before that dev disappears to an undisclosed location. This excuse is MUCH better than "Hackers stole it!"

with useless, annoying UI changes, why not have them focus on ensuring that the experience is functional and efficient and unified?

This should change somewhat quickly with the advent of Starlink.

98% of them are referencing the same Reuters article.

You mean those times were never there for you. I mean, it might have helped that I started gaming back when all you needed for multiplayer was to live near another kid...or to know their phone number.

The comparison is between social networks with similar numbers of monthly active users...perhaps you missed the multiple references to MAUs.

Given that it burns a condensed greenhouse gas and burning methane only produces carbon dioxide and water...yeah, you might be right.

https://cornerstone.lib.mnsu.e... Paragraph 1 of the introduction: "In Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission (FEC), the United States Supreme Court ruled that government could not limit corporate political spending in elections arguing that such limitations would violate the free speech rights of corporations. With this ruling, the Court has set a new standard for corporate First Amendment rights. " Long story short, the court chose to err on the side of caution, which is understandable...but it doesn't change the fact that the brand power of a corporation can have a disproportionate impact on the political process. There's no easy way to solve the problem, and I have no suggestions. I just know that it's wrong to give a company effectively unlimited voice in elections.

People only vote that way because corporations are given a platform. Stupid fucking Citizens United bullshit.

You have a VERY limited scope of focus...I mean, if all you care about is superhero shows, that's fine. There is a LOT more content on Netflix.

You're so right. I absolutely love to have my precious limited time interrupted by unskippable advertising in the middle of quality programming. Please, let me pay 5 times more to have feed after feed of crappy ads for products that I don't care at all about. As long as Netflix continues to provide an ad-free on-demand experience, I'm TOTALLY cool with paying $13...$15...hell, even $20/month.

My familiarity with all of the different vulnerabilities that have been exposed over the last couple of years is cursory at best. Too much time spent on mitigation, too little on education. "Here, apply this...wait, no that one makes it worse do this...no wait, don't apply any patches...you already did? Guess you need a whole new motherboard and processor..."

Hyperthreading is at least partly to blame for the serious security flaws in nearly every processor produced over the last two decades. The 9900K still has it because some people value speed over security. https://www.itnews.com.au/news...

Bigly.

I agree. I discovered Broken Earth through the Hugos and absolutely love it! Fresh and original...a welcome change from "standard" scifi.
