The department joined 16 states and the District of Columbia to file a significant challenge to the reach and influence of Apple, arguing in an 88-page lawsuit that the company had violated antitrust laws with practices that were intended to keep customers reliant on their iPhones and less likely to switch to a competing device. The tech giant prevented other companies from offering applications that compete with Apple products like its digital wallet, which could diminish the value of the iPhone, and hurts consumers and smaller companies that compete with it, the government said.

This makes me realize that I can't think of hardly any videogames with a black character at the forefront.

Sure, there are black playable characters in MOBAs and MMOs, but how many story-driven games have black characters at the forefront?

The most recent one I can think of is Alan Wake 2. And Spider-Man Miles Morales. But there really are so few compared to those with white main characters. Which is sad.

The movie is about a fortress made out of little people because the producers don't play video games. They just heard that kids these days are into Dwarf Fortress.

"We shall truly be the Dwarf Fortress."

As I've heard it, it's much less of a problem when you're looking at it straight on and out of bright sunlight. I think it was Honor that released a foldable last year that nearly eliminated it. So they're close to minimizing it as much as they can

This guy's first problem is watching movies on his cable provider's on-demand service. On-demand has been crap since its inception.

And then:

We are now at the point in the history of show business where a bad experience is free and a decent one costs extra.

This is literally how it's always been. And this the crux of this dude's issues. He's not willing to pay for content and is using freeware and crapware to watch movies. You can't complain about a bad service if you're not paying for it.

He wants the solution? Ditch cable, buy movies and TV shows or pay for streaming services without ads. It's really that simple.

The biggest problem is that federation splits the communities between instances. So a single interest may have 5-10 different communities, all with fewer users than on an equivalent subreddit.

I've been saying this since the beginning, Lemmy needs a way to follow topics that allow you to subscribe to all related communities at once. And posting to a topic on one community allows it to show up across different communities of the same topic.

I see that rogue Google Play Music icon there. Makes me sad they killed it.

They're both so overrated.

Chopin, Liszt, and Debussy are where it's at.

Smith, probably.

What species works 9-5? I'd love to have more time off.

People are literally only asking for the same console, a few refinements, and with better performing internals.

The form factor is excellent, if a bit flimsy. But games like TOTK and whatever next 3D Mario game comes out deserve to have better graphical fidelity than what the current switch can put out. I stopped playing TOTK because I just kept getting framerate drops.

Please give the Switch 2 more powerful internals!

 

This technology looks legitimately impressive.

Here's a video of it working: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m3Sh6mu4zbs&t=1

 

Typically, my ISP provides ~500mbps down, but Mullvad seems to struggle to get above 220mbps. Is this typical?

I want to route all network traffic through it on the router, but don't want to miss out on the download speeds I'm paying for.
