Yeah, that other kid was a punk bitch who needs to get his ass kicked to learn his place in life. Someone messed up raising him, and they raised a cunt.

And the DLC and “Deluxe” editions… The price of a AAA game is well over $100 now.

Thanks for the stoat note.

…I’m sorry.

Technically yes. Likely they still use Transport Layer Security that will encrypt the messages in transit, but that encryption is controlled by the company, and not the end user. What that means is that your messages are safe from randos in the cafe on the same wifi as you, but if the company wanted to, they could read them. It also means that if messages are subpoenaed then they can hand over the unencrypted messages to the authorities.

I tried looking at their documentation to see what was going on under the hood, but there were a lot of connection errors and dead ends. They seem to be open source, though, so if you are so inclined you can comb through their code to see what kind of encryption they use.

Personally, I’d stay away. It doesn’t seem like something that I could put my trust in.

Edit: Upon further inspection, I can see that they host on third party servers likely in plain text. That means that these third party hosts have access to your information, too. I’ll go ahead and take this opportunity to double down on not trusting this company with my memes.

Another well balanced individual throwing money around to change the world to the way they see fit. Surely this will lead to a beautiful utopia this time.

Check the prices on the ones you think are valuable. A graded $0.10 is still only worth $0.10, but a graded $50 card might be worth $75 if it’s graded high enough. It really is going to vary wildly on the card.

Because Apple built it’s brand around control. If you think windows locks down their users, try working on a Mac. Shit, you couldn’t set a wallpaper on an iphone for 3 years. It’s about the ability to make things work the way that you need them to. Maybe Linux is better there, but Windows vs. Linux is going down a mountain road with or without guardrails. You’ll get to the bottom either way, but one might be a bit more hazardous.

And it wouldn’t be in that position if it weren’t easy enough to teach to the least tech savvy person on the planet.

I’ll just fucking say it. Windows. Maybe Mac if you want, but that’s gonna cost a fair bit more. Skip Linux. Everyone here circlejerks it like it’s the best thing since 3.25" floppy drives, but it’s a pain in the ass for the above average user, let alone someone who isn’t tech savvy. The first time they encounter a problem and have to open the terminal they are going to shut off their computer and burn their house down. Unless your friend wants to learn Linux, then I’d advise you to steer them clear, regardless of what the crowd here has to say about it.

Windows is clean and simple. People here will say otherwise and they’ll point to strawman arguments that don’t have anything to do with the average user, like user telemetry or shutdown/restart on update. Windows wouldn’t be dominant if it wasn’t user friendly. If my grandfather can figure out how to install his bible verse software on his Windows PC, then your friend is going to be just fine.

I’m not a scientist, but I’m pretty sure temperature is the energy given to the molecules in the air by the radiation from the sun. Since there is no air in space to excite, it’s just really cold until it’s not.

Didn’t have Cucumber Futures on my 2026 bingo card, but sure, I’ll take it.

I appreciate that his helmet strap isn’t locked. Accurate.

It’s not so much the users as the mods. I haven’t met one I liked. Tend to sniff their own farts a little too deeply.

I’m glad I blocked the blahaj.zone instance just to get it crossposted into a barely relevant community.

…sigh. Here I go blocking again.

That’s pretty bad for a renewable, though. Most of the time you only get one at a time, and that one doesn’t provide much…

You know what, I was all on board with making this joke when I started writing, but the more I typed, the less I wanted to continue. So, yeah, I’m sure you can see where it was going. I’m done.

I think it might be because you are using an embedded browser window in whatever lemmy app you are using. When I go in through firefox mobile it looks fine.

My grandmother’s treasure chest was actually treasure. Gold and precious stones hoarded from the overwhelming fear of another system collapse where the dollar became worthless. The Great Depression made a lasting impression.

That’s how I read it.
