It’s steam keys you aren’t allowed to sell cheaper elsewhere. Which makes some amount of sense: sell your game 30% cheaper elsewhere? None of their business. Sell a steam key 30% cheaper elsewhere? You’re using their download servers, infrastructure, social features, etc without giving them their cut.

news@lemmings.world•More than 3,500 U.S. troops arrive in Middle East as Iran war intensifiesEnglish
10·20 days agoFunnily enough, this is actually one of the few silver linings of this catastrophe. Definitely not worth the price in blood, but the lack of oil and LNG on the global market is speeding up renewable investment.

6·20 days agoI was making a joke :D
I guess this is why /s is so prevalent these days, it’s very easy to be wooshed.

L4D2’s port was great when I played it, and Valve even made a big triumphant blog post with all the benchmarks proving it worked better than the Windows binary. Maybe your confusing it with Dying Light? That native port was so incredibly trash that everyone forced Proton on to avoid it.

news@lemmings.world•World’s largest oil producer Aramco in talks to buy Ukrainian interceptor drones, WSJ reportsEnglish
3·1 month agoPretty normal and a long history (for example, the East India Trading Company had a stronger military than the British Empire), but this is a bit different because it’s not a private company. As a state company, this is better understood as an extension of the Saudi government.
Personally I view it the same as giving medicine to a baby. They don’t understand, sometimes you have to make decisions in their best interests.
Key point: in their best interests, not for personal gain.
It’s fairly well-known historical fact that fascists don’t understand art.
Yup, this is pretty much it. I played a campaign of it. Essentially, you’re so far down the hierarchy you’re basically almost human, with older vampires being a far far greater threat than humans, struggling to understand and survive vampire society before it destroys you. As you said, there’s also a fair chunk of trying to hold on to what humanity you still have left.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What is your country's equivalent of the last name "Smith"?
1·3 months agoNo way it’s Popa in Romania. Popescu is an insanely common name, by far the most common I’ve heard.

news@lemmings.world•The inconvenient truth for opponents of carbon tax is that it actually worksEnglish
4·3 months agoThere are issues, of course. The amount of carbon allowed to be emitted per dollar should be reduced over time, making it gradually more expensive to force lower emissions over time.
However, ambitious infrastructure projects like what’s going on in Africa atm wouldn’t be possible without them selling carbon credits.
Foundry VTT is amazing. Been running Kingmaker for almost 2 years on it with the official module (very slow pace, 1-2 sessions a month). I’d argue it’s basically mandatory if you’re serious about online TTRPGs.

Technology@lemmy.world•Half-Life 3 Reportedly Delayed Due to Steam Machine Price, Leak ClaimsEnglish
17·4 months agoThe GMan has broken containment and is now wandering through our timeline, inserting people into the right points to change the future. I guess this explains the whacky wild ride we’re currently on.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Not seen here, but do social medias (namely and especially Reddit) seem to like to show "neutral" videos of India, that show it in a bad light?
171·4 months agoIt’s not a specifically Indian issue, it’s generalized. It’s also not intentional, just a result of the way virality works.
Because the clips most likely to go viral are those that agree with stereotypes (fat American, lazy Mexican, drunk Russian, thieving Romanian, etc ad infinitum), those are the ones you see. Then people make more of them because it’s an easy way to get clicks. They’re popular because they reliably cause the same arguments (and thus engagement).
The machine does not care about anything but maximizing eyeballs on their platforms.
I edit PDFs all the time for work. It’s a pain in the ass, but perfectly doable. Trying to prevent people from editing files by making it annoying is not in any way a sane strategy.
Should have read the fine print my friend
Not much better at all, tbh. The problems are systemic, not individual. Another Zucc or Thiel would step up.



If you want to point to Israeli tactics, call them Israeli. Conflating Judaism and Israel, making them one and the same, that’s doing Israel’s work for them.
