Ah, I see. That makes sense, but to be fair I think that was expected. I suspect they also pull the same data from every page where adsense is embedded regardless of browser, e.g., and every other company out there is aggregating the same sort of data every possible place they can get it from (shared sign ins, etc etc)
Edit: It's definitely a particularly bad look when there are several things in there that representatives for Google have apparently lied about over the years.
Forgive me for not reading all 2500 documents, but I haven't heard anything to suggest there was a bunch of sinister stuff in there -- and there's nothing implicitly evil about having docs leaked.
Exactly the same here. Since I swipe type, I have to imagine that would be a nightmare on Dvorak with all the vowels clustered together.
While the conversion is appreciated, there's no reason to be an ass about it. OP labeled it, so it's not like it was confusing or making unnecessary assumptions about the audience. So really you're the one who just comes across as completely culturally insensitive.
I think the bigger factor is, someone who already thinks they're great probably isn't working on noticing and improving their weaknesses. Someone who thinks they still have a lot to learn is putting a lot of effort into improving.
So, especially if they've felt that way for any significant length of time, it's no wonder which person will end up being better.
One problem it has is that it can be REALLY slow sometimes. Like any turn based strategy game, map size has an exponential effect on how long a game takes, but the mechanics of wesnoth lean a lot more towards larger maps.
I'm mostly talking about multiplayer though. For singleplayer there's about a hundred million campaigns to play so you could probably play it forever.
Both of the examples you give are Id - and to be honest, I feel like this was always more of an Id thing than it was an overall trend
Something like 80% of email goes through Google and Apple. But, email is just about the most successful federated protocol we have. Also, I believe that these services would have become huge regardless, and I'm glad that they are dominant while using an open protocol instead of something they can exert much more control over.
In an ideal world, I believe the goal for federated social media is that you don't care what platform other users you interact with are on, and they can freely move to other platforms without compromise. It's scary if a big corpo controls too much marketshare and can break compatibility with other apps. But, if the protocol is truly open, there can't be any barrier to corpos launching services on the protocol either.
I tend to agree when everyone is worried about an already existing major player joining federation (e.g. FB with threads). But bluesky is a new entrant to the space; they will have to fight the existing giants for market anyway. And if they're starting small, then them being federated means that as soon as they start to get credible traction, any other company would be able to launch their own app in the same space. If the scare of big players is that they'll choose to one day stop playing nicely with federation, then it will definitely be easier for them to say "you can no longer chat with a few random FOSS weirdos" than to say "you can no longer chat with this other major app".
tl;dr, for me the goal isn't to have a protocol that can only talk to other people who care about FOSS; it's to have a way to talk to everyone. Eventually, that means that I hope we do hit a critical mass of "big players" buying in, even if they're motivated by profit.
To my knowledge, almost zero games incorporate licenses that actually give any legal space or protection for streaming, it's almost always a "we 100% have the right to sue you but we probably won't, we totes promise fr fr" kind of situation.
But for this case in particular, what's actually happening is that Japan is one of the strictest countries in the world w.r.t. copyright law; I can't know the laws of every country in the world, but in 90% of jurisdictions the worst you'd expect to happen is the videos get taken down, maybe your channel gets deleted.
Don't screw around with copyright law in Japan though.
Unfortunately from their perspective that isn't apples to apples. They can charge higher rates for targeted ads.
I had never heard about this, this is absolutely awesome
Too true!
You can use blend for anything, especially if you're creating a mix of two original things. And you could mix light too (you have things like
mix()for colors in CSS).In cooking, I would call something you use to mix dough a mixer, and something you use to make a smoothie a blender. I guess there are some subtle differences in "feel" but the words are almost interchangeable.
