The way some people plop a screen down in front of their toddlers, we are really gunning for government and ad networks being our babysitters.
I'm in this photo and I don't like it.
Criminals also use things like public restrooms. Maybe we should gate those behind background checks.
I found a good stick once. Damn, that was a nice stick.
Come on man, I've been on the internet since the beginning. Back in the day I paid $10 to join the Something Awful forums. We used to host our own game servers, back when games would let you. We rented our own Ventrilo server for over a decade.
There are ways to pay for things besides making the user experience godawful.
Same experience here. Been full time Linux gaming for a couple years now and have been able to play every game I've tried.
The insinuation that website users somehow have a responsibility to watch ads so that the website's 3rd party content creators can make money reads like a case of Stockholm Syndrome. YouTube are the ones paying the creators, not me, and can change the terms by which they calculate creator payments at any time. If YT decides that now, ads viewed during the hours of 7pm to 10pm result in higher creator payments, where is my role in that? Am I now obligated to prefer viewing ads during that time?
Plenty of content is uploaded to YT by people who don't and never will get creator payments. Do I have to watch those ads?
My contract with YT is that I control what data is downloaded by and presented on my PC, not them. That Silicon Valley has decided that everything is free, but with ads, is unfortunate. If they're unable to fund their business or their content if I use an ad blocker, then it seems to me like they're pretty fucking bad at business.
Not sure if it's coincidental timing, but I installed the Nvidia 535 driver at the same time as this update and was having the same sounding issue. I backed down to 525 as I have many times before and the game worked again. (I don't know what it is but the 535 driver hates my PC.)
Me too. I'm looking forward to giving this Linux release a spin!
Wow, a capital strike.
I think the instance admins might have access to this via their database.
