I lived in London for about 8 years. I remember a taxi driver who was an immigrant telling me he’d lived all over the world including New York, Russia, etc, and he said London was the most multi-cultural place he’d ever lived. There were sort of even amounts of all different types of people and they all just got along in this big melting pot. I found people to be a lot more racist in the middle class cities full of “nice” white people (though I don’t think racism is that common in the UK). Most of my friends in London loved all the multi-culturism.

RIP Encarta.

People who have sun sneezes tend to sneeze a bunch of times at once. Sun sneezes are genetic.

I have sun sneezes and for some reason people who have that also sneeze multiple times. I haven’t sneezed just once for about 20 years.

They keep talking about war on Europe and act as if everyone’s forgotten about NATO.

Reject cookies.

I always get my kid a gift my wife will hate. She’s still genuinely annoyed about the fart gun I got last year.

That and getting drunk.

Routine is nearly out?

My sister-in-law let her 10 year old daughter play it with zero supervision. When we found out we told her she should be watching what her daughter’s doing so she went in to check and found the kid talking to some grown man from Azerbaijan.

Are you just looking for file backup? I haven’t used it but most people just seem to be switching to NextCloud.

It’s just a waste of time now, I don’t even bother. Nothing big good gets a serious discount, it’s just crap I didn’t want in the first place that gets out on sale. Just before Christmas Day is the best time to get a deal, that’s the only time of year shops are really trying to get rid of stuff they’ve bought too much of.

I sort the reviews by recent on the assumption that when these companies pay for fake reviews they sort of come all at once and the recent reviews will be humans who’re actually reviewing it since then.

All the tools already exist. They just need to make it so easy to use them the parents don’t have an excuse not to. My sister-in-law thinks all this online age verification stuff is a good idea then let’s her kids use a grown up YouTube account because she can’t be bothered arguing with them. My kid can’t even use her junior one unless I put the PIN code in for her (which I never do).

Like everyone else has said, put some cameras out to confirm it’s a human (it’s probably not). If it is a human you may recognise them, and if it’s a cat or something there’s probably some kind of deterrent you can buy.

Bear in mind local laws. Where I live filming people on the public street is a grey area legally, using a hidden camera to do it would probably be considered illegal. Not saying don’t do it, just don’t try and submit it to the police. If it’s a person tell the police you saw them doing it from the window or whatever.

I think this is pretty normal as you grow up. You get kind of bored of playing games that use the same gameplay mechanisms and you just look for a change. Even if the mechanisms in these indie games aren’t as good, just being different makes the game more interesting.

Nowadays I’d much rather play a short indie games that a big budget game.

It’s complaining about bots on Reddit. I honestly don’t think Lemmy would stand a chance if bots decided to come here instead.

They don’t need to court developers, they need to court consumers. The games will be sold wherever people are buying.

It’s probably not that hard to get these kinds of results when the companies are allowed to exploit slave labour, steal trade secrets, and conduct massive bribery and corruption. Not against their own people of course

My house barely has enough room for my stuff, never mind weeks of food.

That may be the case but you people have to stop trying to defend China all the time. You can’t even search the word “democracy” without being added to a list.
