  • Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 - Official 2023 Announcement Trailer

    Jump

  • A mainstream fairly well funded sequel to a cult classic owned by a company that has yet to develop anything even close to the same quality as a janky pre-release third-party source game that has switched developers at least once now?

    ...I'm sure it will be fine, it's not like there's at least two other examples of that exact scenario failing miserably.

  • Just a reminder; the solution to traffic is almost never more roads.

  • As Israel pushes punitive demolitions, family of 13-year-old Palestinian attacker to lose its home

  • "If you protest us stealing your home, we're going to steal your home!" said the democratic republic that officially has not recognized that it is steal homes.

    Jump

  • When a company actually exists that utilizes your view of DLC, then it might be a valid criticism of the phrasing; but zero day one DLC released for any game has been anything but carving up a complete product into an incomplete main product and several DLCs to increase the price without increasing the price. Oblivion was the first example of this. Horse Armor was already developed.

  • Smoking Is a Dying Habit. Not in Germany.

    Jump

  • Hyperbole works against your goals, and is a direct driver of teen vaping. There are absolutely positive effects with nicotine, to pretend otherwise is simply 'Reefer Madness' for overly panicked sheltered millennials. The primary problem, and thus the messaging, should be that the positives do not outweigh the negatives; and nicotine addiction is incredibly hard to break away from.

    An 'evolved' society that resorts to pointless, unfounded, unscientific scare tactics to justify government control isn't an evolved society, it's the 1920s.

  • Sanity Check Setup

    Jump

  • That's more secure than most setups, the VPN with killswitch will defeat any and all attacks you're likely to encounter if you don't open files on that same VM.

  • FDE is for physical attackers, it would have nothing to do with torrenting unless you're really intending on pissing off every single criminal legal authority and not just worried about civil suits from copyright holders.

  • Everything is harmful though, that's the problem of existence. Nicotine is a psychoactive drug that does have both positive and negative effects. Vaping is safer than almost every other delivery method, and it's the safest recreational delivery method available. There's more than enough education on why nicotine is bad, which is the most you can really do.

    People still drink, despite the physical addiction risks, the massive health risks of even a single drink a week, and the fact drinking any amount puts you almost comically more at risk of physical injury than not drinking. The education is fully out there. People still do it.

    Free will is a hell of a thing, and restricting it has never ended well for those that restrict it, regardless of reason.

  • You hear constant propaganda about how something's bad for you, you try it to rebel a bit, you get a buzz, you get addicted.

    Some people simply aren't as attached to life as you are.

  • Young climate activist tells Greenpeace to drop ‘old-fashioned’ anti-nuclear stance

    Jump

  • I am in the EU. There is literally no storage for highly radioactive waste.

    Pay to store it in Finland, like everyone else is doing. They currently have a facility that isn't even a quarter full and can be heavily expanded.

    That’s not true. Nuclear waste can also contaminate ground water, if stored incorrectly. And as we discussed: we have no storage solution for the highly radioactive waste and thus can’t store it correctly.

    Solar panels can contaminate ground water if stored incorrectly, that's a useless statement.

    And as discussed there are thousands of storage facilities available. Just because your specific economic union has not built one yet, does not mean you cannot use one of the commercial ones, and by the way these long-term storage facilities aren't the part that store the waste safely. The containers do, and short of a nuclear bomb going off the waste isn't escaping them. So much so that despite waste existing since the 1960s, there has never been an incident of nuclear waste escaping containment. Ever. Coal spillages have caused more radioactive contamination than nuclear waste.

  • Iceland allows whaling to resume in ‘massive step backwards’

  • Except can you really say “genociding native americans”

    As a country, the US has spent more of its existence genociding native Americans than allowing women to vote, or having a standing army.

    and “slavery” are a part of American culture?

    The US currently has fully legalized privatized slavery. You, specifically you, can own a slave in the US right now. You can even treat them as if the constitution does not apply to them in any way. Simply buy a prisoner and get a judge to commit that prisoner to you for the length of their sentence. It's so ingrained in our culture, we've never stopped the practice.

  • German Chancellor Scholz speaks out against new nuclear power

    Jump

  • We also determined in the 1960s that solar power was a pipe dream and it would never be efficient enough on a large scale to be worth investing in.

    Maybe don't use an Appeal to Antiquity.

  • Can you define theft in any way that includes digital copying?

  • Already cracked

  • Sure, if the DLC isn't cut content from the game. That's the problem. If they have already developed the content, then it should be released with the rest of the game, for the price of the game. DLC, should it be developed at all, should be an expansion beyond the original scope of development funded by the excess profit from the game.

  • I think you're vastly underestimating how cheap most computers are; consumer laptops are around $300-500 median, that's what most people use. And those laptops don't game. The enthusiast computer market, while larger than its ever been, is still a ridiculously small percentage of computers sold.

  • Destruction of a T-90A and T-72B by FPV drones.

    Jump

  • The open hatch almost definitely lead to the kill. You can overpressure loaded or stored shells with less than the .62kg explosive charge in the bomb. There's a small chance though that it penetrated; T90a's turret top armor has at most 200mm of armor, of which 90mm is steel; PTAB have been known to penetrate 90mm of steel and the rest of the armor composite does not resist HEAT rounds.

  • Stop using Brave Browser

    Jump

  • I mean, does that mean Edge is a Google browser, too?

    Yes.

    All that to say: while the company that originally created Chromium is bad, the software isn’t.

    Only to the extent that websites are built for chromium compatibility, due to its monopoly on the internet. It's great software because it's the most popular software so all other smaller providers that serve that software have to focus their resources into ensuring compatibility. Chromium(Blink) itself is pretty mid, and definitely equal to WebKit or Gecko, not better or significantly worse.

  • Stop using Brave Browser

    Jump

  • It's really hard for the creator of Javascript to make money off of javascript, and it's unlikely he has any financial interest in the Mozilla corporation anymore since they're a nonprofit and thus don't have share holders. However, he directly profits off of Brave.

  • archinstall comes by default on medium now; there's also archfi and about a dozen other install scripts with varying levels of customization, interactivity, and ease of use. All of which are better options than wiki installation.
