Give it time. It took 3 years of war for the 1917 revolution to start.

So they will just create local shell companies. Didn’t solve any problem.

I really like more melodic stuff, and my favorites are Ad Infinitum, Dark side of the Moon, Enemy Inside, Beyond the Black, Scarlet Dorn

Because your rights have been eroded by decades of deregulation and lobbying. And because publicly traded companies are legally required to maximize profits at all costs.

I use the smell test. If it smells weird in any way, it goes to the wash.

The problem wasn’t the lack of creativity, but the fact that it was rushed.

Age of Empires 2. Love the game, but I’m terrible at it… I can barely beat the medium AI. I was defeated in pretty much every online match.

You want to expand your business to Europe. Bam, your code is broken, in Europe the week starts on Monday.

Than you want to expand to the middle east. Bam, broken again… Because in arab countries and Israel, the weekend is on Friday and Saturday.

Then you want to expand to Mexico and India. Bam, broken again, their weekend is only on Sunday.

Tech products. It’s not worth the risk of getting some Chinese spying crap. Even chargers and cables have the risk of damaging your hardware.

Not yet, but I played the first one. It was pretty good. I also enjoyed Quantum Break.

I think video platforms should be hosted by the government, like public libraries. They are very difficult to run at a profitable rate, and YouTube is basically a monopoly in this space. But it has an incredible value to society.

Australia had a problem with guns too, until the government stepped in. They had a program where people were paid for giving up their guns.

Limiting access to guns is such a simple thing to do, and has such a huge impact… It’s not going to solve crime, but it will make crime less deadly.

Bioshock (series) for the incredible story, world building, how they explored philosophical concepts in a video game.

Mass Effect (trilogy) also had a really great story, I really enjoyed how it went from some small events that didn’t seem imporant to such a grand scale where you have to save the freaking universe.

Control which had a really interesting story, incredibly good looking and creative graphics, and some truly epic moments.

And I have to add a honorable mention for Factorio and Kerbal Space Program… Factorio really tickles my engineering mind, and KSP does an incredibly good job at teaching how rockets work.

What are you going to use it for? You have to give us more details, a vague question will lead to generic answers that will probably not be the best choice for you.

You haven’t used Ubuntu Server… The resolv.conf is managed by the network manager (NetworkManager if I recall correctly). But if you configure the DNS in NM it won’t survive the reboot because there is another layer on top, cloudinit.

A dishwasher… For a family, it saves a huge amount of time and water.

Kindle hardware is shit. It’s built extremely cheaply, and it’s not made to be repaired. I have a Kindle with a broken display, asked Amazon support if it is possible to replace it, they said it’s not and they don’t sell parts.

DDG is just a front-end for Bing. There are very few search engines that actually do their own indexing.

It’s not just Google. The Internet has been getting worse over the last years. People don’t make sites any more. Blogs have moved to closed and centralized social media platforms. Forums are rarely used, most communities moved to platforms like reddit and Discord.

Most of these platforms make finding content very difficult. You won’t find articles posted on Facebook, Twitter threads and Discord discussions in search engines. You have to create an account on their platform, then use their shitty search (or be subscribed to the right people) to see it.

I wish there were more Sims like games. I feel that under EA, the games aren’t living up to their full potential, and they could be so much more.
