Capt. Wolf

Next update: Well, we never actually removed the feature because it’s already irrevocably engrained in the file system. It can’t be turned off or opted out of because it’ll cause your hard drive to explode. Instead, we’ve buried it so deep that only hackers, malware, the government, and Facebook will be able to make use of it.

Then don’t use it.

Or fork it and remove all instances of the word. Put the pearls down, you’re grinding them to dust.

From what I’ve seen on their site since is that they’re saying they are now GDPR compliant. And I suppose, since they are still open source, that anyone finding anything seriously malicious would have pointed it out by now. Maybe just a bit of bad press and people jumping to conclusions because “Russia bad.”

I do still plan to check out Tenacity though and see if it’s a better project.

Gonna share this, because I had no idea… I think the last time I updated Audacity was, like, 10 years ago…

Here’s Tenacity, which I’ll be checking out shortly…

Ah, the best series I had no idea what I was doing in…

That was kind of the point though I guess. Don’t know how many hours I spent in X² just flying around doing nothing until I’d make a mistake and die.

Also, your comment lead me to check out when X-Com first came out and I found out that the original creator had a totally different series with the same kind of tactical play style for the ZX Spectrum, Rebelstar. There was a release for the GBA that plays very much like original X-Com. Liking it so far.

X-Com devs’ lawyers have entered chat.

I mean, I’m a fan of regulatory action, in the same vein as what was proposed with net neutrality originally, and dissolution of the monopoly. The services Google provides are vital to the functioning of the internet, and as such, must be treated as a governed utility the same way internet provision should be, with tight definitions of services and regulations to control what can be done and when. In that regard, companies like Google and Amazon(in regard to AWS) would be classified as utility providers similar to ISPs with the same degree of accountability in regard to service provision, availability, transparency of policy and actions, liability, etc.

In addition, break up the monopoly accordingly. Entertainment services, telephony/internet/communication services, electronics development, however it would be appropriate. Problem is how many of those services overlap and likely where they’d argue that the company can’t be broken up.

Like you said, that’s like seizing their business from them and it also doesn’t account for global factors. However, each nation is ultimately responsible for how companies operate within their borders, internet service providers should be no different.

Not really anything to do but draw attention to it… It’s not like we have an effective globally governing body to oversee something like this objectively.

Well, yes, but in a broader sense, they have way too much of a stake in the control of global communications altogether. Even just a hiccup on their servers or slight change to their system has a global impact, as obviously evidenced here. The world is dangerously reliant on a centralized private company for daily functioning.

Such a powerful entity shouldn’t be controlled by private parties and needs to be governed in a way that the benefit of the people is kept paramount.

This sort of thing is why Google’s monopoly on the internet is so dangerous.

Can it run Doom?

Well… We all knew that was coming. If you still have an account haven’t done so, now’s a good time to purge your account!

I’ve never had that cap with them, but then I’m also not paying for standard internet…

AT&T is another. Depending on your tier, they give you “unlimited usage” but only up to a certain usage point. After that they supposedly throttle you down as low as 2g speeds depending on your tier and network load.

Net neutrality can’t get brought back fast enough!

I was legitimately surprised at how well they handled it. Literally my only complaints are that they changed the pronunciation of some character names, like Rena was changed from “Reen-uh” “Rain-uh.” Dias seems to be called Diaz by some voice actors. And they changed Gyoro and Ururun’s names to…

ugh…

Creepy and Weepy…

And the voiced dialogue makes for some very “Inuyasha-Kagome” moments…

Star Ocean The Second Story R has been an excellent remake so far if you want another
