ltxrtquq@lemmy.mlto Linux@lemmy.ml•I switched from macos to Linux because it can't stop babying users and being unnecessarily restrictiveEnglish4·3 months agoThey’re taking advantage of everyone with their shitty “dev exchange rates”
Also, it’s a bit light to say that they’re stricly saying taking advantage of people because only because of their fees.
I’m honestly not sure what you’re trying to say. I didn’t say the transfer fees were the only way they were taking advantage of people, I just wanted to use the thing you already admitted was predatory and use it to give an example of how roblox is taking advantage of children.

Experience everything Oblivion has to offer with previously released story expansions Shivering Isles, Knights of the Nine, and additional downloadable content included in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered.
I’m pretty sure it’s at least being implied on the steam page that all the original DLC is included in the base game. And if you look at the deluxe upgrade:
Upgrade from the digital base game to The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered Deluxe Edition to receive:
- New quests for unique digital Akatosh and Mehrunes Dagon Armors, Weapons, and Horse Armor Sets
- Digital Artbook and Soundtrack App
It doesn’t look like it includes the “additional downloadable content” that includes the wizard’s tower.
If that’s the standard, then mine is probably
I consider tankies to be people that are incapable or unwilling to admit that China or whoever else massacred their people.

ltxrtquq@lemmy.mlto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What are your thoughts about video game preservation?English1·5 months agoThere are so many amazing games to play. If you wanted to, you could cut off all future content from this day on, and still have more than enough to remain entertained for the rest of your life.
If you can’t make each game better than the last, people will just go back to the last game. But if you take away the last game, they’ll go to the new game simply because the same game but worse is still better than nothing.
Isn’t this true for every form of media though? Books, TV shows, movies, music; there are multiple lifetimes worth of content for anyone that wants to look for it. What makes video games so special?
[Referring to the Tiananmen Square Massacre] We (at least many of us) have read the sources that have been linked. What is described there, particularly the accounts of people who were there, is what we assert is what happened. In the few instances where there may be contradictory first hand accounts (and mostly, the accounts are not contradictory but rather corroborate each other) there may be some ambiguity. But even taking that into account, it is ridiculous and downright ahistorical to say “Chinese authorities massacred people.”
This is from a conversation with the kind of people I would consider “tankies”. It’s from a community I think has since been deleted, but the general vibe of the comments in the post was that the Tiananmen Square massacre isn’t a real thing and any civilian deaths were actually justified.
How do you know “somehow Palpatine returned” wasn’t the plan from the beginning?
They also tried to pull people in by releasing a new game for free every week (even AAA titles!), which was actually the coolest thing they ever did.
You’re using the past tense, but they’re very much still giving away games for free. On a related note for OP, I’m pretty sure amazon prime gives away games for free too, so if you don’t know where to start, you can always start with something that doesn’t cost you anything (extra, assuming you have prime).

The lines of the tree trunk and lamppost shadows all converge toward where the sun is, if extended toward it.
I’m pretty sure that’s not true
Edit: I’ll concede the other points though
The tree on the right has that block missing in its shadow, the trees on the left are casting their shadows in a slightly different direction, and they guy on the dirt path’s shadow seems too dark and clear. Once you pointed out something was wrong, it’s hard not to see other mistakes.
I wouldn’t expect the economics of private jets to work out either, and yet…

ltxrtquq@lemmy.mlto United States | News & Politics@lemmy.ml•How a flawed idea is teaching millions of kids to be poor readersEnglish4·8 months agoIn many balanced literacy classrooms, children are taught phonics and the cueing system. Some kids who are taught both approaches realize pretty quickly that sounding out a word is the most efficient and reliable way to know what it is. Those kids tend to have an easier time understanding the ways that sounds and letters relate. They’ll drop the cueing strategies and begin building that big bank of instantly known words that is so necessary for skilled reading.
But some children will skip the sounding out if they’re taught they have other options. Phonics is challenging for many kids. The cueing strategies seem quicker and easier at first. And by using context and memorizing a bunch of words, many children can look like good readers — until they get to about third grade, when their books begin to have more words, longer words, and fewer pictures. Then they’re stuck. They haven’t developed their sounding-out skills. Their bank of known words is limited. Reading is slow and laborious and they don’t like it, so they don’t do it if they don’t have to. While their peers who mastered decoding early are reading and teaching themselves new words every day, the kids who clung to the cueing approach are falling further and further behind.
These poor reading habits, once ingrained at a young age, can follow kids into high school. Some kids who were taught the cueing approach never become good readers. Not because they’re incapable of learning to read well but because they were taught the strategies of struggling readers.
Another reason cueing holds on is that it seems to work for some children. But researchers estimate there’s a percentage of kids — perhaps about 40 percent — who will learn to read no matter how they’re taught. According to Kilpatrick, children who learn to read with cueing are succeeding in spite of the instruction, not because of it.
Maybe your kid is one of the lucky ones that can read fine regardless of how he’s taught. But not everyone will be. That’s the point of changing how reading is taught, to be more effective for the highest number of people.
But you could also try giving him a reading test like the ones presented at the top of this website https://readingtests.info/ and see for yourself how well he reads an unfamiliar story.
I’m guessing you missed the “Euthanize spider” slide with a little snowflake icon.
