steam snipes
Not relevant to the question itself but this phenomenon is call stReam sniping because it took off when live streams of videogames became popular.
Finally! I have been blessed with 15,5m coal!
I believe in you.
At least one of us is.
That requires Gleba science … GLEBA!!!
Well, it’s always been a cat and mouse game.
Just earlier today, I got a pop-up on YouTube about how they would block me after 3 videos because I use an ad blocker. Jump to now and everything is fine again. Thank you, uBlock Origin!
People don’t use the subscription tab? Why do they subscribe in the first place?
I wonder if visualizing what you read slows people down.
Yes, especially when the author probably got their inspiration during an LSD trip.
For us None-Americans: Is that good or bad?
Yes/No. There are quirks such as “ton” but in essence you can say 1 million gram and everything is fine. Remembering all those short forms is a nice to have, not a requirement.
Uhm, it might sound arrogant but in metric you don’t need that sort of thing? The next order of measurment is just ±10^x where X is the number of dimensions you want to look at: 10 for i.e. length, 100 for area and 1000 for volume.
Lets look at length: Most commonly used are Millimeter, Centimeter, Meter and Kilometer.
Meter is the base. The name centimeter derives from meter and the Latin word centum meaning 100.So a centimeter is hundredth of a meter (decemeter, 10th, ist not really used much in everyday life). One step further down is millimeter: mille is Latin for thousand, therefore a millimeter is a thousandth of a meter.
Going up Greek prefixes are used: Deka-(10) and hektometer (100) are rarely used and Greek chilloi means thousand and therefore a kilometer is 1000 meters.
Staying in one dimension the same applies to gramme for weight: Milligrams, Gram and Kilograms are the moat common.
Going up in dimensions we use the same prefixes but the multiplyer changes because 10^2 is 100. So to go from 1 m² (one meter to the width times one meter depth) to 1 km² (thousand meters wide times thousand meeter deep)) the multiplier is not 10³ (1000) but 100³.
The whole prefixes are effectively optional and just for better readability.
It fits perfectly as a vessel to further the neoliberal agenda of dismantling any form of regulations to create their vision of a “perfect” free market society.
A “free market” as in the sense these lunatics envision it is a market devoid of any form of outside regulations. In essence, survival of the fittest on an economical level: Profit above all else, might makes right, consequences be damned. One president führer CEO calling the shots, everybody else following or getting crushed in the machinery.
So you tell me: What’s not authoritarian about corporate capitalism?
Profit over everything else is part of which ideology again?
Capitalism kills
Well, it could have been but just like robot.txt
everyone ignored the Do-not-track Header in HTTP requests.
But that feels like the polar ends of who can benefit in the deprofessionalized world—developers with the stability to swing big for big-shot ideas, and programmers or designers with deep career experience that can be called in like a group of noble mercenaries. People in between will be left out.
Well, no. The issue is not that people offer their expertise as contract workers. The issue is supposed AAA studios cranking out one piece of hot garbage after another, while small independent teams can work (and fail) with unique ideas at a much faster rate.
There will always be freelance workers and having one on board, even an experienced one, will neither guarantee success nor is it a prerequisite. Looking at some highly successful indi titles of today, they often started with humble beginnings and got gradually more “professional” along the way.
I am currently playing Factorio Space Age and holy hell, have they come a long way since initial release. Fluid system, anyone?
Do you genuinely think reliable medical tests are being targeted at you through ads?
Nope, but that is an entirely different problem. Major platforms have to be legislated to tightly control which ads they run. The amount of misinformation spread through ads is enormous.
The answer depends heavily on your location. Where are you (roughly) located?
