Lower prices was a promise by Epic. We take a smaller cut from the devs so the savings can be passed down to the customers.

Didnt happen, buying on Epic is just getting a worse experience and giving the devs more money for it.

I think it was a feature in one of the older games though. Gen Ultimate maybe? But i’m not too sure on what the rules and limitations there were on that type of hunts.

We've seen larger technology and software companies prioritize skills over degrees because of the speed at which the industry evolves.

1 in 3 companies are also firing developers :). This just smells like they're trying to lower dev compensation so they lower requirements, get more younger/cheaper devs and also use it as an excuse why your pay is not as high as it could be.

I mean the paradox basically states if you want to stay a tolerant society you should be intolerant to the intolerant, which is a paradox.

And here’s a man claiming to be tolerant, being intolerant to an intolerant person.

And yes his statement is indeed hypocritical: “noone should suffer this except you”. But you know… the tolerant society being intolerant is also hypocrisy.

I’m not saying I agree with him, but this is the parafox of tolerance. If you tolerate the intolerant, intolerance wins out and the tolerant are eliminated.

Switching DEs is not recommended by devs so I assume the configs are still conflicting. Home dir doesn't get affected by an image rebase most likely.

The same can be said for the prostitute no?

If your client can only afford 20$ worth of service, shouldn't he be spending it elsewhere that's more important? I guess more realistically "twitch thots"/onlyfans and desperate people giving them their waaay too much money.

Backblaze Personal only works with Windows PC's and Mac, and drives that are physically connected to the computer. No VM's, no network drives/hardlinks/symlinks, etc. You have to use their software to backup too. As someone else noted, for recovery you can grab files in 500GB chunks as a zip, or 8TB drive mailed to you (free of charge up to 5 per year). Data needs to be retained on your local drives otherwise it will delete them from their servers after 30 days unless you upgrade to their 1 year retention plan.

I have a Windows PC that is on 24/7 for a number of things, and I just put a hard drive in there that I backup my most important NAS files to that, and it gets backed up to Backblaze Personal.

Backblaze Personal is cheap and I see the appeal, but you have to understand and live with those caveats for "unlimited" backup.

I use B2 with rclone and just backup "important" stuff on my NAS with cron jobs. I guess you could have rclone move the "important" stuff from NAS to a "burner" PC which uses Backblaze Personal.

I don't have enough data to warrant all that so I use B2 for now and I have around 50GB of data so the price is cheap
