It’s less idiocy and more laziness. Any amount of inconvenience is too much for a lot of humans, unfortunately.

Hmm maybe I stop donating then… I’ll have to dig into where my money is actually going.

Sorta. The foundation does.

Yes. Just like I donate to my Lemmy host on a regular basis.

I even pay for YouTube, despite using Vanced.

Fuck ads.

The issue is fuck ads

I have a very handy command in my .vimrc for this -

command! JSON setlocal filetype=json | %!jq .

Anytime I’m in a json file that isn’t formatted it’s as simple as typing :JSON to have it all sorted.

Yeah but most rpi projects don’t need a powerful alternative. I don’t need a full computer to run octoprint… But it’s still too hard and pricy to get a RPi

Yeah Jerry it’s definitely the jokes and certainly had nothing to do with you dating a 17 year old at 38.

Sure it’s the college that is blowing things out of proportion…

I’ve used them and they’re great

There’s totally a use case for a peripheral like a watch… But it’s only so you don’t have to pull your phone out of your pocket.

Given it’s a 3d print and cost about $0.60 to make each one…

Now if they made the STL as well then it makes more sense.

Define expensive?

Because labor isn’t the main cost of fast food as far as I’m aware. Doubling the wage of laborers saw only modest price changes in places that hiked minimum wage… Despite franchise owners being able to set their own prices.

McDonald’s near me in NYC is more expensive than Alabama, sure - but it’s not double the price. ~$20 for 2 people to have 2 large meals with drinks is eminently reasonable.

It’s actually fascinating. Asymmetric keys with public keys hosted by the government and the private key in your ID.

A 4 digit pin1 code is required to use the authorization key and a 5 digit pin2 is required to use the signing key.

The average Estonian signs 50 documents per year using this method.

I mean… They have though. It’s not in bing.com but “Microsoft copilot” is their newly rebranded Bing + AI search engine, which they’re embedding directly into desktops. They’ve been doing the AI summaries longer than Google has afaik.

Idk if you watched the video but the reason it works is mentioned in the video, if not explored in detail.

You have a digital id and a digital signature that is tied to you as a citizen.

Each vote has to be signed with your personal voter signature.

You think Bing aka Microsoft is not planning on this exact same folly?

Government biometric requirements really aren’t a joke. They perform pretty regular audits and the liability of not deleting ID could be company ending.

They might not delete your biometrics, but I’d be shocked if they didn’t. It’s far more likely that they not only delete it but have an audit trail proving deletion.

Flip the script - why have they mitigated bots in other games but not TF2? Is it because the strategy doesn’t transfer or is it because the implementation doesn’t translate?

And if they haven’t mitigated bots elsewhere - why would they do it in a crusty codebase like TF2 vs somewhere shiny and new.

Support for TF2 would be undertaken voluntarily by developers since Valve has a flat corporate structure.

The only way you get continued support for TF2 is convincing devs to work on a crusty old legacy codebase for a game that doesn’t make anywhere near the amount of money as other games that everyone else is working on.

TF2 is iconic - Valve just doesn’t care.

Why is that?

It’s not like Belarus will resist them
