Can confirm. I've seen this on multiple boards. I think this was Asus nomenclature.

Depends on which instance you use for your client, I would say. For me only discuss.tchncs.de gets to see my IP address, and Milan Ihl, our admin, as well as his Lemmy server, are in Germany.

This means two things:

• You can shop for a location of home instance that you deem Nintendo-safe
• Nintendo would have to multiply its legal efforts many times over and through different jurisdictions if they wanted to get all users of a community, which might affect their effort-value-considerations.

But I've probably doxxed myself with personal stories. Pretty sure a dedicated person could find my employer, the team I'm in, and my age.

You just reminded me of another one: Monster Hunter World had a leftover behaviour from testing or so. The button L would rotate the camera to the right, as a hardcoded invisible binding.

That doesn't matter much to most people, but I'm left handed, so my movement keys are IJKL instead of WASD. Rotating right whenever you want to step right is completely disorienting, I ended up returning it too.

But currencies aren't traded only on one exchange, but all over, surely you can't suspend trading for currencies?

Then the output only applies to people with Triple X Syndrome I suppose.

Crocs were hated? When?

I would say they are still hated right now.

I just find them ugly, but there are some people with almost visceral reactions to them. "That's not even a real shoe" kind of thing.

Oh melting chocolate, I need to try that next time. I'm always worried about burning the chocolate in the pot.

For me it just crashed often enough that it was frustrating to keep redoing things and one side quest got stuck because an enemy was half dead in the floor and I couldn't finish them.

I let the game rest and played it a year later, it was great then. Half a year later I played it a second time, with different gender, weapons focus, and starting background. It was great again :-)

Counterstrike Source was later and still had these tight knit communities on the gun game and surf community servers. There wasn't any matchmaking in the client either. And we voice chatted in game for the non-competitive modes.

Yeah, use the official client, the stupid stupid ads will annoy you enough to interrupt you in frustration from time to time

I'm currently playing Elden Ring for the first time and I'm note sure if I'm not just doing it for self-flagellation instead of fun

Sounds like the Solomon method, except they went throught with it.

That's exactly what a weeb masquerading as a Linux nerd would say!

Hmm Mord means murder though, not homicide, that would be Totschlag. Also there is a note in the sidebox that the graphs include attempted murders.

I bet his penguin is from "A Place Further than the Universe"

I heard of it as an emergency stopgap measure until you can make it to the hospital to get pumped out and properly treated. But it's been a while, I could misremember

Maybe I'm desensitized because our group address is published in multiple places on the web, but that email is not even slightly noteworthy. This November we've already gotten 7 emails that said our mailbox was full or we needed to change its password.

To me this is just background noise of the Internet.

Yes! The worst was this quote by Entrekin, hiding behind the law acting as if that's all that matters:

“It’s the law. I haven’t done anything wrong,” Entrekin said at the time. “If it's wrong, somebody needs to change the law. I have asked [state legislators] to change the law and they have not changed it.”

I'm with you on this one, just yesterday on a different post I said as much: https://discuss.tchncs.de/post/25358559/14482392

"turning to Youtube" doesn't really say much one way or another. There is a wide range of content from professional media over smaller alternative media outlets over individual opinion pieces to manufactured disinformation from state actors all hosted on Youtube.

This is an interesting followup piece of the publication that broke the original story:

https://www.al.com/news/2018/12/heres-how-federal-inmates-made-an-alabama-sheriff-15-million.html

Some noteworthy pieces of information imho:

• The total sum "leftover" after underfeeding and badly feeding was in the millions.
• Keeping the Alabama "leftover" money was legal under state laws, for some crazy reason.
• They also had a federal contract to keep ICE prisoners, and got federal money for that, which they did not treat separately from the Alabama money.
• Another Republican (Jonathon Horton) unseated that swine Todd Entrekin in their primaries two to one.

Then in 2019 the food account was finally made into a public one by the state legislature, 25% of it could still be misappropriated to other law enforcement activity though. Then in 2020 the was a referendum in Etowah county to make that percentage 100%, but I can't find out how it went in the end. The Gadsen Times are blocked for European readers.
