Yep, all the pain and no gain. Already cancelled my Walmart Delivery Pass and swapped to PC Express. Now I’m locked in for a year. That’s a year of groceries Walmart lost over this.

Personally I’ll be operating like this until the threats are gone, not just delayed, and even years into the future I’ll be much more cognizant of where my goods are coming from.

Bought a bunch of BBC Planet Earth 4K BluRays direct from them because the only other reasonably priced option was Amazon and I’m avoiding them if possible.

BluRays using technology from Japan, pressed in China, containing a documentary series from the UK, purchased in Canada in CAD direct from the UK distributor.

Should be fine, right? Shipped from the US. Such nonsense.

Imagine writing this about the civil rights movement or women’s suffrage were they unpopular and maybe you’ll see how ghoulish you sound.

Also, they are threatening those things as well they’re just calling them “DEI” so you basically are writing that right now.

Yeah that’s why they’re also going after porn, no fault divorce, abortion, gay marriage, interracial marriage & drag queens. Because they don’t CARE what you do, they just want to criminalize you ever talking about it, advertising it, displaying it, or doing it.

“Conservatives want to murder all trans people” is hyperbole, but you’re living in the “conservatism = freedom of personal choice” fantasy land that used to be called libertarianism. If it ever existed, which is very doubtful, it certainly doesn’t now. You are in bed with the religious right that does actively want to criminalize all these things. Project 2025 puts that in black & white if you were too oblivious or stupid to realize it before.

Also, on a more personal note, fuck you. Trans rights are human rights.

I think you forgot the question.

If it’s something along the lines of “is this why he’s still in power” I think the answer is yes. For all of Doug Ford’s faults, and there are many, he stayed out of the convoy thing, handled the COVID response OK, has mostly stayed out of social and identity issues compared to the other right wing leaders in North America, and immediately distanced himself vocally and significantly from Trump when the tide turned with the Canadian right.

Don’t get me wrong, this isn’t me espousing support. I wouldn’t vote Con if I was paid to (and we were). But I think he’s savvy enough to know that social politics isn’t going to bolster his support with his base it will just lose him votes in the GTA. If the goal is cronyism, lowering taxes, privatization, and making sure he can drive everywhere then those other things just distract from the goal.

Brexit, probably. That lost a lot of international respect.

There’s a right wing politician here who made “folks” his trademark so I can’t bring myself to use that one either:

How is it a dick move to remake their own game? I would love that and buy it day one, Oblivion is amazing and it’s very constrained by its PS3/360 era memory limits.

A dick move would be sending a C&D to the Skyblivion team and not letting the remaster/remake stand on its own. Attitudes like this are why most developers don’t even bother with modding support.

My PS5 will probably be my last non-Nintendo console. I use my Gaming PC for everything, Steam Deck for portable, and Switch for everything Nintendo.

I haven’t turned on my PS5 since Rebirth and my XSX for… Goldeneye? I don’t even remember it was so long ago.

There have been like 3 PS5 exclusive games that I wanted to play and they’ve all come to PC. Just don’t see the point anymore.

Great! Having these games locked to PS2 & PS3 was a shame, if these come to Steam that would be amazing.

AdGuard DNS blocks all of the ads in Apple News. Made it way more usable for me.

It’s not that weird:

Recipes are actually quite common for a lot of papers, and Apple News+ has a lot of those as well as almost every recipe published in a magazine.

Couldn’t you make the same argument for any holiday?

You can’t celebrate Christmas without gifts because you should be spending all your time with your family so getting together and spending time together doesn’t count.

Seems like you’re just redrawing the lines to protect your argument, all holidays can be celebrated in a fairly noncommercial way because the theme of them is basically “spend time together”.

God I wish the worst thing this timeline had was Gen Z cringe, sounds like heaven.

Don’t blame me, I voted for jlkmm . …

Apple had a strong relationship with Pangea at the time, who developed that game. From 1999-2006, most Macs shipped with some sort of game (usually Bugdom). Reimaging a Mac didn’t really exist at the time, most of the time they were just rolled out to classrooms as is with a few extra programs installed.

My 2006 Mac Mini had Marble Blast Gold from Garage Games, that was the last one I was aware of.

Features: Tablet layout on iPad, GIF scrobbling with swipe.

Bugs: Database error, UI missing requiring quit and restart.

Overall though, Voyager is amazing & indispensable. Great job :)

Great! Looking forward to it. Colour scheme and the iOS focus remind me of Bean, which was my favourite Lemmy client up until the dev abandoned it.

Voyager is great but it does feel like a web app at times, especially when you get the very common “can’t load the database” error. It looks the part compared to Apollo, but it doesn’t always act it.

Love Voyager but this is the biggest downside. Would be happy to join the TestFlight when it’s up. Good luck!

Also, the Wii was a fad. Nintendo and others wildly overestimated how many people would come back and buy another console after buying a Wii. Turns out most of them were rotting in closets. The Wii U could have improved on the Wii in every possible way and it wouldn’t have done well.

This isn’t the case for the Switch. I don’t think the Switch 2 will do Switch numbers, those were very artificially boosted by the pandemic & the novelty of the form factor. However, I doubt Nintendo will have any trouble moving units.

Or, he did a Nazi salute because, and I know this is some outside the box, crazy thinking: He’s a Nazi.

I know, right? Racist, apartheid profiteer, open supporter of racist far right parties across the world, frequent promoter & amplifier of far right wing and openly racist & anti-Semitic voices on his social media platform? The guy who just bought his way into power and has funded the rise of mask-off fascism in America? That guy is a Nazi? No way.
