On the bright side, life is a terminal STD with 100% mortality rate

As long as it’s still in operation and people view it as a valid platform, its numerical value is irrelevant. I won’t be happy until it goes away or is relegated to the likes of Truth Social.

Are those pictures he’s holding real and not photoshops?

I use a 4K TV that’s 43”, but I like to run games at 1440p native (I.e 1:1 pixels, no stretching) when I measured it out it was the same as a 27” monitor which I thought was perfect.

You’d be surprised with inheriting tech debt. Quite often there’s no documentation, the last person to log in to the system is an admin that quit 3 years ago, but it doesn’t much matter because that’s only for a direct console login which normal users don’t do when accessing the application. With tribal knowledge gone and no documentation, only when you pull the network for a bit do you discover that there was this one random script running on it that was responsible for loading up all the needed data in the current system, when 9 of the other 10 times those scripts were no longer needed.

In a perfect world you’d have documentation, architecture and data flow diagrams for everything, but “ain’t nobody got time for that” and it doesn’t happen.

Honestly we do that when we ask and no one speaks up. Lovingly called the “scream test” as we wait to see who screams.

Freeze your credit

I don’t know if it’s the same in the EU, but this is the single biggest thing you can do to protect yourself (I mean besides passwords and such). Freezing your credit makes it much hard to open a line of credit under your name like a random store credit card or such. Please try to do this as soon as you can.

Considering how old Facebook is…. They probably never bothered to upgrade the authentication system because “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” and it didn’t matter to their revenue.

So where are they all going? I doubt everyone is gonna find another non-profit or any altruistic motives, so just snatches up more AI resources to try to grow their product.

Ah that makes sense i read “at Steam” as the company, not “at Steam” as users who use the platform.

Maybe I’m missing something, but what does Steam care? All it is is another game they’ll get some additional revenue on. It’s not like they’re betting the farm on it.

It really bothers me that we’re (the West) letting Israel get away with so much. First Palestine, then these random terrorist tactics, now Lebanon. And the. People wonder why there’s entire generations and groups of people that hate them.

There’s only one of two end games here that I see. 1) complete genocide of populations or 2) a massive war when people are pushed too far.

I can only think they believe 1 is truly viable so keep pushing where they can.
