Amazon was just successfully sued because of the ads in Germany. It wasn’t legal in the first place to enable ads on the lowest tier.

You probably already checked Gobliins 2 and the other games in the series.

Don’t do that to me. Don’t make the OLED model so cheap that I will actually have to decide if I want to upgrade.

Yes. Even after conviction they may only name the culprit in exceptional cases. It’s mostly for the victim’s benefit, but even criminals have a right to privacy.

Note, Germany’s current chancellor voted against the law making rape in marriage illegal.

I recently read my German grandma’s memoirs. During the war she signed up to help in Nazi occupied Minsk. Of course for the Nazis “help” meant ensuring the local newspaper printed propaganda. And beforehand they were instructed to be harsh with the “dumb Russians”.

She once got into trouble because one serial story in the newspaper tended towards a revolutionary message. Apparently the translator didn’t care for the story so he stopped reading it and just let it get printed as he received it. At least that was his official excuse.

Anyways, of course she grew closer to some of the locals. And of course not every single one of them could help with sabotaging the occupiers. So it was extra sad when she eventually had to flee from the approaching Russian army (a day after the officers loudly proclaimed at a Nazi party that they were about to win the war) and had to live with the knowledge that the Russian’s she left behind were all likely to be executed as collaborators.

She couldn’t take them with her because the Nazis would likely kill them for being Russian. Or at the very least put them into concentration camps. And she already knew they were bad, just not how bad.

I saw someone complain that there weren’t enough customisation possibilities with the Steam Machine. As if they couldn’t just build it however they want right now.

Filled with icky worms. Because it’s bad news.

FWIW, scientists recently got all WhatsApp numbers. That could also have been done by anyone else. Don’t know if that has been fixed by now.

“The rats playing Doom have become too good at slaying. We can’t let them escape.”

“They escaped.”

It’s just a meme without any deeper meaning. Laugh or ignore and move on.

As long as Meryl Streep plays Batman I’m happy.

For all their faults they don’t use kernel level anti cheat. Both StarCraft 1 and 2 are free. StarCraft 1 should at least have LAN play.

You can easily set a cookie expiration date in 2999. That’s far enough to be indefinite. Then you save the user’s preferences in the database forever to remember when they log in elsewhere.

Gross! Now it’s gonna taste like spaghetti and tomatoes.

Kohl maize, eh?

My .dockerignore is a link to .gitignore.

I usually only use htop to monitor resource usage. I mostly kill stuff with killall or the good old ps aux | grep ... kill combo.

It’s on GOG.
