oh yea i didn’t notice that, yea that would be it for sure

Any simulation game usually.

I was playing bakery sim the other day, before I knew it 6 hours had passed.

I have to say, PC version of Game Pass is far more cheaper than their console edition, so it’s can be worth it for sure. But I definitely agree you need to game a lot for it to do so,

I had PC game pass as part of my game pass ultimate to your subscription that I got with my Series X, and honestly despite their diverse catalog that they had, I found most of the games that they offered I either already had because they had gone on sales or already given for free through other services(epic or Humble choice usually), or just didn’t interest me.

I love how many Indie style games that they would but, it was very rarely that they actually offered a game that was interesting despite the fact that they cycle through their content constantly. And their AAA titles, at least at that time not sure if it still is the case was definitely lacking in the availability department. It was very clear that the primary focus point of Game Pass was Indie style titles over the primary Studios, but I never really wanted to play them due to the fact that since they’re cycled out so frequently I would start a game and then two or three weeks later I would get a message saying this game is leaving Game Pass.

Plus it also was hard for me to swallow spending $240 for a subscription to Ultimate yearly(or whatever the pc gamepass sub price is yearly) , and then having nothing to show for it when that subscription ran out because you lose access to all the games. I would much rather spend that money on actual games and then not lose access to it when it’s done.

Honestly, I found Humble Choice being a good alternative to paying that sub, roughly 120-140 a year, and you get 8 titles a month that’s yours to keep

I was meaning offering it to the table at a discount, yeah if it’s already been eaten from it should not be given to another table, if it hadn’t been eaten from then that’s a little different but yet definitely if it’s been eaten from no way.

It all depends to be honest I’m paying money for the food and I want the food to be done correctly. I receive a burger and it’s ice cold in the center or the fries aren’t done I’ll send it back, however if it’s just cold because it’s been clear that it sat out for a little bit or they put the wrong ingredients on it I’ll suck it up and eat.

Being said, If I receive something that I didn’t order in replacement of something I did order I’m going to mention it. If the restaurant decides to throw it out that’s not me wasting food that’s the restaurant wasting food they could very easily have offered to give it any discount or gave it away. I refuse to have the blame of the kitchen be put on the consumer, the food wouldn’t have been wasted in the first place if the order was correct and there are many outcomes that the business can do that would prevent the food from being wasted before and after its cooked.

I think it’s hitting on with the fact that Americans are super impatient with anything and when they go to a restaurant they sit down they eat and then they leave there’s no big wait period of socializing(usually), it also could be because it’s frowned upon because we don’t pay the waiters livable wages here, so for every minute that we’re still sitting and not ordering anything we’re taking money out of the Waiters pocket.

That’s how ass backwards the US. But no the Tipping structure is apparently a better system lmao

I think they have it labeled that way, because he plans on appealing, so it’s possible that the verdict isn’t final. But yeah generally once you’ve been given a conviction the terminology changes

this is my main reason I have not upgraded. Less PCIE slots than my system uses currently so I’de have to downgrade

To my knowledge they don’t though, Chrome has had the overall market share for years. Most of the time the mozilla project is tailing behind Chrome, because anything that they add to Chrome if the other browsers didn’t follow suit they were left in the dust. I haven’t seen the Mozilla project as a Trailblazer in years

Full disclosure, I looked at the first like five or 6 posts your profile to verify if you were a troll or not, and I came across something alarming.

You have multiple posts asking about how to run your own instance and basic things of how it functions. I really hope your instance is private because the ideology that you put in this post is so hostile that I would feel bad for your instance users.

Disregarding the fact that the chances that someone would forget to update their post versus that being the price listed is fairly low, your entire statement on wasting time is so hypocritical that it made me do a double take.

If the seller wasn’t going to give accurate information they wouldn’t have added the information in the first place.

But honestly that’s a moot point, the more alarming thing is if you have this type of ideology for a simple disagreement on the internet, then you’re going to be super aggressive towards anyone who’s going to reach out to you for help. And the fact that you own a community that’s literally called ask Lemmy that’s meant to be a carryover for when the other community doesn’t work this doesn’t look good.

I’m not looking to have a response from you so don’t worry about it, and I’m not saying this as an insult to you. I’m just saying how it looks to a random person who looked into it.

Right, it looks like they went back to their roots and stopped doing a curved screen lol, maybe they realize that not everyone wanted the curve and that it made it a pain in the ass to put any type of screen protection on

Unless that design includes a MicroSD card slot I’m not interested

before I read the article, I wholeheartedly disagree with the title.

Self-Hosting not only brings control back into your own hands, but also hones your skills at the same time.

OK so after reading I do agree partially with the regulation aspect, but from a privacy POV all of that is fixed by just not storing PII, I run multiple services in my stack, and the most info I collect on someone is their email, which they defo could just opt out of which I would delete off the system.

As for the cost and labor. It’s really not that difficult, my stack consists of Game servers (a mix of them primarily survival based like ark), email hosting for myself and some friends + no reply services for other internal services, my media stack, my file server, the firewall, a reverse proxy manager and my own programming projects/sites. Honestly the hardest part was the networking aspect of it, learning how to use proxmox was a trip because I hadn’t used a containerized environment before outside of docker.

I think this articles being disingenuous with the no paycheck, there is more to Value than a paycheck. My self hosting while I may not be being paid for it, if I were to put my current setup on to remote hosting I would probably be paying roughly $150 to $200 a month for a private VPS this system allowed me to just spend $700 as a one-off and then minor maintenance costs if something failed, which for a project I intend to keep running regardless its the cheaper option.

As for the ideology of decentralization, yes there is some issues in regards to reliability, obviously these smaller side projects for self hosting aren’t going to have the redundancies that the “proper” hosting is going to have. Like for example just last night my service went down because I lost power for about an hour and a half and my battery standby only had enough power for about 45 minutes of it. Being as most of my stuff is more personal based I’m not too concerned about the downtime but I could definitely see if it was a large scale project like a lemmy server it would be a little more distasteful.

I can’t wait for companies to not use the system that way they can get around the requirement of having a partial refund if they don’t go through with their commitment

I love how they advertise it as they’re doing you such a great big favor by allowing easy access to transferring files to the new system

Talk about creating a problem that way they can sell you the solution, they completely treat it as if they weren’t the original cause of having everyone have to buy new systems for the next windows in the first place.

The only time I’ve had an ad on YouTube with premium(on their site) is when I went in to invisible mode.

In my opinion it’s absolutely stupid that invisible mode has the capability of detecting that you have an account because it skips the age verification blocker on content-sensitive videos, but it gives ads to people with premium. It’s obviously able to see that you have a YouTube account so therefore it should be able to just do the next step of saying okay does this account have premium. The only thing people are asking for was it to not log the videos they’re watching but they had to make it some Next Generation NASA level secret hidden profile shit that doesn’t actually do anything.

Also it really bugs me that they’ve added ads for YouTube and beds on discord. If I have my YouTube account linked to my Discord account I should not receive ads on the in bed. It should be able to see my YouTube account via electrons cookie system and be able to link it to an account that has premium.

I didn’t realize that they still had grandfather’s subscriptions, I was the same where I got it at a lower price, but they decided that they weren’t going to honor that price 2 years ago and raised it anyway. I’ve told myself I’m dropping the sub if it goes up again because honestly it’s current price is a little outrageous. But I watch over a thousand hours of YouTube a year so therefore it’s worth it to me.

I loved UG and UG2, but honestly HP2 takes the cake for the best game, not because of the involvement but, because no other game in the series ever did the Cops system as well as it. The newer HP game was also good too, but I felt it branched off too much. HP2 you could just give a map, no reason for it, and spend the entire game dodging the cops the rest of them it felt like you were actively penalized for not pulling over. I loved the added challenge of running from the cops + racing

I feel like it’s because they can’t milk that mode for profit like war-zone and standard MP, PvP environments allow for more glamour opportunities than a PvE environment because everyone else is focused more on the enemies then what their partner has. Nobody sees the cool looking designs and are like “wow that’s cool I should get that” like they do in PvP modes.
