No, they claim it is for a good reason to excuse it so they can get away with all the stuff they want later whilst hopefully (from their perspective) making more profit now. It's the thin end of a wedge.

Stop defending corporations for anti-consumer behaviour. You do realise that YOU are a consumer as well, right?

That's exactly what arbitrary is. It's not for a good reason, it's so they can push bullshit later. The limitations were chosen arbitrarily because they're not real limitations, they're entirely imposed by a Microsoft for their own ends. A non-arbitrary limitation is like minimum graphics card requirements for a game - won't run without it. What do you think arbitrary means?

They're not trying to get me to upgrade my OS, they're trying to get me to buy a whole new fucking system for no good reason. Every last one of them can die in a fire.

And that's before we consider that Windows 11 is actually a downgrade.

Wrath of the Righteous drops the kingdom management in favour of army management. It takes less time, but is by far and away less satisfying. Outside of that, Wrath is better than Kingmaker I think, but they're both excellent.

In Wrath you can literally be a lich with control of an entire city of reanimated corpses. You can reanimate important side characters as your undead servants. And that's just one of the mythic paths available. You can also be a sentient swarm of locusts. Yes really.

I know what you mean though, they're very long and hard to finish - might be all the reading. Owlcat are old school and, especially since Baldurs Gate 3, their games feel feel dated because of it.

You're missing the point. The return isn't going to go to tax payers, it's going to go to rich people, so it's not a return, it's just paying rich people who weren't even involved. Enriching the rich like everything else the republicans do.

Yes. Of course. Because that's what will happen, that money will go into improving services for the public rather than being funnelled into a rich pricks pockets. Totally what will happen, no reason to doubt that whatsoever.

America just deports you to el Salvador without due process instead.

I read that Palahniuk prefers the ending in the movie.

Isn't the book super pro-fascism?

Terrorist means something specific until it doesn't, at which point it can be twisted to mean anyone. Like people who disagree with and protest ethnic cleansing, genocide, shooting children, medical workers and journalists, etc.

Oh god, red paint on an aircraft, the terror!

Maybe learn about something before you comment on it?

 

I recently switched to Firefox on Android from Chrome for obvious reasons. It's great! Except the new tab page is a piece of shit. I've already disabled all the sponsor rubbish and stuff*, I want to choose specific links to put there and stop it from adding links to random places I happen to visit that I can't get rid of without removing it from my history. Why this behaves like this is beyond me. I should be able to SET my shortcuts, not have to rely on Firefox to hopefully pick the right ones for me and then have to put up with every other one it decides to add or wipe them from my history.

*Why are these options so poor? I don't want recent bookmarks on this page, I want the ones I've used the most, which will have been bookmarked the longest. Recently visited? "Hey do you wanna return to that one Google search from a day ago?" Why!?

Whilst I'm here, can I change tabs to work like Chrome. I.e. currently on Firefox when I'm on the new tab page, and I click a shortcut, it then opens a tab, pressing back goes back to the new tab page but leaves the tab open in the background rather than closing it.

The new tab page should be part of the new tab, hence the name, so when I press back I should still be in that tab, but back to the new tab page, and without any tabs open in the background that I now have to go and close myself. If I don't choose them, next time I go to that site by pressing the shortcut, it'll open the already loaded tab instead, forcing me to refresh it manually and adding a superfluous step for literally no rational reason I can think of. Firefox seems to act like a tab is launched from the new tab page, rather than the new tab page is the first page you see in a new tab.

I hate these behaviours, they don't make sense, so thanks in advance for at least trying to fix them for me.

 

If there a way to filter other languages or something? It's good they're there, but seeing posts from communities that communicate entirely in a language I don't read is basically useless and in tired of filtering eight communities per day only to make little to no difference.
