It’s pretty ridiculous.

What happens if you go there and Sony have moved their EULA page and it just 404s? Does that mean there is no EULA at all and you can play without terms? Doubt Sony woild see it that way lol.

EULA should be displayed within the same context it is accepted.

UK here and they are turned on.

Thanks a lot, Brexit :(

I had so many good times on forums back in the day.

The personal nature of them was great for being social and making friends, but it was also good for the quality of the content for and user behaviour too.

When everyone recognises you and remembers your past behaviour, people put effort into creating a good reputation for themselves and making quality posts. It’s like living in a small village versus living in a city.

The thought of being banned back then genuinely filled people with dread, because even if you could evade it (which many people couldn’t as VPNs were barely a thing) you’d lose your whole post history and personal connection with people, and users did cherish those things.

Your spreadsheet will pierce the heavens

The answer is very much “Don’t run Photoshop”

(Fuck Adobe. There, I said it)

There’s multiple ways to take that

Not quite, I don’t think. Enshittification is driven by profit motive, which means if there’s no money at all involved, then there’s no motive.

I guess you chose your words carefully though because the terms ‘product’ and ‘service’ pretty much imply that money is involved somewhere there.

The worrying truth is that we are all going to be subject to these sorts of false correlations and biases and there will be very little we can do about it.

You go to buy car insurance, and find that your premium has gone up 200% for no reason. Why? Because the AI said so. Maybe soneone with your name was in a crash. Maybe you parked overnight at the same GPS location where an accident happened. Who knows what data actually underlies that decision or how it was made, but it was. And even the insurance company themselves doesn’t know how it ended up that way.

What don’t you like about Signal?

Kinda wild that you could patent a super basic mechanic that pretty much anyone could come up with

Yeah but there’s clunky in the way where its big but still a single unit as designed and intended, and clunky when its got some extra growth hanging off the back of it like some technological parasite.

Of course, my advice is only that, and you should choose the approach that works best for you. But advice is why you came here right :)

I have a portable monitor that I’m pretty pleased with.

It has a magnetic cover that goes over the screen to keep it safe, and that same cover folds and goes on the back to act as a stand when it’s in use. Power and video are via the same USB-C cable.

Nice and slim and stays in my bag most of the time but when I want a second screen I can whip it out in two secs.

A screen that attaches to the laptop sounds convenient initially, but I feel like in practice it would be a hindrance and make your laptop clunky and bulky.

You nailed it

It’s a “choccy (chocolate) coffee”

If a tree falls in the woods…

Pop!_OS is the next big

(It finished there)

Yes Daddy uwu

That’s the strategy, yes

I can easily see both sides on this one.

In one way I have little sympathy. It’s the same as parents complaining after they show their child a violent anime, that it was a ‘cartoon’ and so it must be for children - having made that snap judgement without investigating the contents in the slightest.

On the other hand, as the article rightly suggests, there are established conventions in the publishing industry and this book defied them.

They are conventions I personally kinda hate, because they are the reason every Crime paperback looks the same as each other, and every Sci-Fi book is instantly recognisable as that genre on the shelves. But the conventions do exist.

In mass-market publishing terms, sparkly happy cartoon = children.

The publisher and author totally knew what they were doing here and they did it anyway. It’s wilfully misleading.

Whether established standards should be enough to absolve a parent of the responsibility to understand what they are giving to their child, though, you decide.

Even if the common advice is to avoid spoilers, I’m glad you found your own way to enjoy it :)

I’m sure I could play it again myself and still enjoy the atmosphere, even if the discoveries weren’t new. Or maybe it would be fun to watch a stream of someone else playing for the first time instead!
