Earthbound snes. Yes you fight things with frying pans, yoyos, etc but the only violent scene in the whole game is a fly dies in a very dramatic way. All of the fights are turn based without violent animations. The story is great, but don't be afraid to use a guide the first time through.
My guess is they pay per play. So to minimize plays, they try to play songs you won't skip, which, naturally are songs you didn't skip the last time they popped up on shuffle.

I'm sure their stats tell them that this gets people to skip less, but it's infuriating when you actually want to shuffle a big list.
You have not understood my comments at all and gone off on irrelevant tangents and off the deep end.

This tells us all we need to know about you and your opinions. It is just classic baiting engaged in by Racists and Bigots.

I don't think we can have any profitable discussions now.
Not the only way. There are also promotional pop-ups every now and then and I've heard of them introducing an option for artists to pay for better rankings.
Connecting the chrome debugger to a nodejs backend is pure luxury. I think it could compete with the M$ experience easily.
But that's not "real" encryption. You're just abusing language — as most are in this thread — to get a result you want.

If you want to discuss E2EE, do so but it does not make it more "real" than other encryption.

Unencrypted is false. Not E2EE is true. Most use the former to wage war against an app they don't like because they prefer an app like Signal that satisfies their desirable qualities. Moxie actually started this trend and it is despicable. I'd say the exact same thing if Durov started referring to E2EE as "pedo-encryption" or anything else that distorts meaning.

Don't distort meaning. Use precise language.

It's literally wrong. You can have any opinion you want, but yes, there are certain, very much contradicted "opinions" you can get in trouble for publicly announcing. But even that has certain limits.

For example you can deny the Holocaust among a small circle of friends, and that would not be "public".

And it's extremely hard to get anything of the sort prosecuted on the internet. See "tatütata.fail".
YouTube music’s integration with YouTube is too weird for me. I used a service to try to import my Spotify into YouTube music, and it did two things that I can’t stand:

1. Subscribed me to every single artist in my artist library on YouTube. It took a long time to clean up my YouTube subscriptions.

2. All my playlists are also YouTube playlists, which isn’t what I want.

3. The tool was fully incapable of transferring my library over, because YouTube music’s API is limited. So no albums or artists can transfer to the library section.

If I can’t transfer my library over, keeping a semblance of organization (such as maintaining a chronological list of “date added” for my songs), I’m gonna struggle to use any alternatives when Spotify does good enough.
>"Internet made in Germany"

This makes me shudder just thinking about this, knowing how bad internet in Germany is, falling behind countries like Romania and Ukraine by several leagues.

Yeah I hope this is right, that the other stuff (the AI / singularity stuff) is just noisier right now.
Yeah, sinking thousands of hours into that game has probably brainwashed me in one way or another.

I'd like to say the art is less noisy than the more common low-rez styles (narrower color palettes, less shading, easier to separate the background from the platforms / play area). But looking at screenshots now, I can't say it looks good. But it's charming and unique enough that I'd pick it over most other styles if I was making a game.

Ha! Thanks for this idea. When I was on Spotify I already was listening to more music anyway, because Spotify just has more music on it period. I switched to Apple Music (family reasons), but half of what I used to listen to on Spotify isn't found on Apple Music. Apple has more money than Spotify, so why do all these problems persist for years and years?
Because it's hard to grope someone via a computer absent special equipment apparently.

That's flippant but in all seriousness, it stems from a narccistic inability to focus on results after selecting employees who can be trusted to work on their own without leaking corporate secrets -- I trained a generation of journalists to go abroad, and it astounds me how reckless many people who known damn well the consequences of things like not using MFA are.

At one point I remember someone on NPR's Up First giggling she still doesn't use MFA -- I remember a time when if you said that on the radio, someone would immediately log into your email and send you one from yourself advising you to improve your opsec... but that would be illegal.

We have to be mindful of consent.
A few years ago I played 'Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons' [0] and it was a great experience. The game design centers around pretty good storytelling and with a single player you co-op two brothers.

The old lira was retired and the new lira came in 2005 roughly at about 1.30 to the dollar.

It's now 16 to the dollar, up from 8 to the dollar a year ago.

The old Lira was 15 to the dollar in 1975, by 1985 it was 500 to the dollar (devaluing 42% a year), 1995 was 43,000 to the dollar (56% a year), and by 2001 it reached 1.3 million to the dollar (77% a year)

From 2001 to 2005 it was relatively stable, and the new lira came in and only lost half its value from 2005 to 2015. Things have been getting worse since 2015 though.

Elon Musk is in several businesses where hype and showmanship are part of the job. His competitors in those businesses also create unrealistic narratives around their products and their companies' intentions and capabilities. So, for example, calling out hypocrisy about government contracts and subsidies is particularly useless. Everybody does it.

This means it is hard to tell where sensible strategies, like Elons tweets providing real value in the form of zero ad spend at Tesla, ends and delusion begins.

I am not a space-colonization optimist. I agree with the article author that humans will not live off Earth for more than a few months in space stations or maybe on the Moon until they are post-human. But can Elon put humans back on the Moon? Maybe. And maybe that's enough to get enough government contracts for his rockets.

Closer to home, Musk is taking full advantage of the fact that customers, at least in the US, hate their ISPs with a hot passion, often for good reasons, and want to believe in a literal deus ex machina. Does he have a viable business model? So far, it only has to be viable enough to appeal to investors with stars in their eyes.

Or, maybe, like entrepreneurial showmen before Musk have often done, he gets the idea that "enlarging the problem" can scale-up to any size and not fail.

Meanwhile Nevada doesn't use their full share of the water compact, but I wasn't able to get a job that would pay enough to score a condo out there in time.

I think the idea is that CeMAS is monitoring those channels and associates potential crimes with accounts. They can make a criminal referral to the police that a crime may have been committed, but they may not be able to find out the person's actual name or persona from their account or other public information.

But it would be easy for Telegram to just hand out the telephone number, and in the majority of cases, the number would be registered to the offender. We're mostly talking about unsophisticated offenders here, people agitating for hate, neonazis, unsophisticated child abusers...

It's amazing how much thought and effort seems to go into Instagram's UI while it looks completely unplanned and is, for me, pretty unusable. Nothing makes sense. The UI is similarly weirdly designed to Snapchat and Discord, so maybe it has something to do with targeting "the kids".

I don't get how people can be comfortable using that stuff at all.
> inequality globally is so much more than within rich countries -- so any 'sticky' ways of funneling your money into poorer countries is good, and you don't even need to worry too much about getting scammed, as long as the scammer legitimately lives and spends in a poorer community.

That is a great insight. It’s a big “if” though. A lot of the money skimmed from, e.g foreign aid to Ukraine will go to billionaire oligarchs like Kolomoisky
Turkey is already in big trouble. Sanctioning Russia will make things only worse.
If you sync your library, it will wipe all your custom likes/dislikes for songs you sync manually via iTunes as well as wipe your smart playlists (blank them - until you sync your device to your computer again)

Therefore Apple Music is literally unusable if you have a large library of songs not on iTunes (like indie electronic stuff) and don’t want iTunes to identify them and switch them to Apple Music songs.

That's probably due to market size. Germany has a market of 80 Million people and the only countries you can easily expand to without a lot of additional overhead are the DACH-region.

Compare this to the US and their population of 300 Million people and how influential US culture is in the world and how many people speak English. A US company has a potential market of 300 Million people and use that to support your expansion into smaller markets later.

There are probably other factors in play here but it's not surprising to me that Europe didn't produce a Microsoft, Google or an Apple.

At almost 50; I'd want to do what I thought right in any office I was elected to. My entire life experience is filled with people telling me what I think is "right" disagrees with their world view. Not that I'm wrong, but "things shouldn't oughtta be that way" so acknowledging that they are is incorrect.

Even if I had any desire to run for office I don't think I'd have any success.

What we need are a bunch of young, idealistic fools who have never been exposed to a factual history in their lives. Give them a revolutionary mission to fix the world, without a clear map of whats broken or what "fixed" would look like. With some luck we can re-invent feudalism.

I see many problems in web3 conception, but they are technical problems, so could resolve if somebody really want to resolve.

For non-tech, web3 is not in any way different from any other new concept.

For example, governments at least 10 years have enough information to make regulations, to use best from crypto community and make sector less attractive for thieves.

But instead, governments as usual use policy of limit and forbid, push crypto into criminal world.

>In Austria, where I live, it's even worse.

That also explains the terrible tech jobs market both local and remote available to Austrians, even when you compare to some Eastern European companies. The bureocracy and tax system here severely discourages any kind of remote or self employment or starting your own gig.

Plus, AFAIK it's the only EU country I've encountered where non-competes are legal and enforceable without any penalities for the employer. Madness.

I don't know how startups in Austria manage to get anything off the ground.

> Nothing with worldwide relevance in the software, AI nor cloud space came out of Germany / the EU within in the last decades.

Let me list some:

* Teamviewer: used to be more famous in the past but it is still a known brand to people world wide

* Cherry: more of a hardware thing, but they are known world-wide for their MX switches

* Deepl: a xoogler founded startup that is better than Google translate

* Soundcloud: well known all over the world, was founded in Berlin

* Suse: founded in the 90s and had steady growth since

* SAP: world leader in ERP software. Seriously people underestimate how well entrenched they are.

In the last two years, three of these companies had IPOs, two of them as unicorns. Sure, its is dwarfed by the US tech Cloud/AI/software sector but there are certainly world wide players from germany in the digital industry.

And not having a limited liability entity is actually pretty stupid, for a full catalogue of reasons.
I for one absolutely distrust self-styled altruistic do-gooder organizations, with good historical reasons, and always will.

One fundamental problem is their desire to project that image of 'goodness', which leads to their own internal corruption, as they don't deal with internal problems transparently, because exposure of such corruption tarnishes their image, and protecting that image then becomes their central goal.

The Catholic Church is a controversial example (as there are many Catholics, mostly nice decent people), with its legacy of child abuse of many forms. Exposure of this activity, conducted largely by individuals within the Church without official Church sanction, would clearly tarnish the image of this altruistic organization, so the leadership covered it up, thereby allowing the abuse to persist. Image rapidly becomes more important than substance.

Secondly, the members of such organizations, convinced of their moral rightness, tend to seek to seize political power in order to enforce their vision of goodness on the overall human population. Many just hop on the bandwagon because they see it as a route to wealth and power - as long as they sing the song of moral purity, they can become rich and influential, and live lives of luxury and pleasure.

Thirdly, their 'moral stance' is typically influenced by low-quality information. The author mentions the Nazis as an extreme example, but they had indeed absorbed fraudulent claims of genetic superiority of ill-defined racial groups, and so to them ethnic cleansing and genocide were the responsible thing to do, for the long-term health of the Aryan people. The author believes they knew what they were doing was morally wrong, but I doubt this - at most, they'd have called it a short-term necessary evil for the long-term greater good.

So, what's the right thing to do? My view is, accurate information should be the basis of all decision making, and the only way humans have found to come up with accurate information (about things like risks of global warming, causes of disease, etc.) is the rational scientific process, so that's what we should be spending our time and energy on developing, more than anything else. Others may disagree and wish to devote themselves to the creation of art, literature, music, architecture, etc. and that's fine too. Maybe they want to sit around and do nothing, like monks in a monastery. That doesn't bother me either, as long as they're not trying to control society in the name of their moral purity.

As far as moral behavior, this great quandry has the simple solution that you should simply treat others with the same consideration and respect that you'd like them to treat you with, assuming you're not some kind of masochist who craves abuse, right?
