No slowness here. I occasionally get 50x errors with posting, and rarely when doing other things. The other day I submitted the same content multiple times because it gave me a 50x error, but it accepted the submit then gave me the 50x. So i had to go back and delete the other threads it created.
Why waste your time on lemmy/kbin or the fediverse? Reddit/X/Threads are free-as-in-beer so you don't pay for them, there's more content, and you don't pay for them. You can skip all of the ads with adblockers and have a great time.
You sure about that?
It was never a processor issue. It was a few motherboards with buggy bioses (Asus and Gigabyte I believe) that would overvolt in a few instances and it has been patched since april or may.
You can see a bit of the details here if you care: GamersNexus
That's a terrible example, and generally not much of your post is true. Most people aren't actively paying for the ACA through taxes, only the richest 20% of americans (>281k /year) src, and in fact it saved many Americans money even without pre-existing conditions. Plus the ACA has saved many lives.
The cost and concessions made to pass it are more a reflection of how awful capitalism and the american healthcare system are. Those companies were always going to make record profits regardless of whether the ACA passed or not, just like many other companies, and you always foot the bill for the uninsured/underinsured anyway through other methods like ER visits and cascading illness through inability to pay for services. You also pay for them when they have medical emergencies and file for bankruptcy and when they become homeless because of medical issues or the payment of medical goods and services.
Also remember, many democrats were pushing for single-payer which would've skirted most of this by expanding medicare and forcing insurance companies to compete.
Given that the US has almost zero privacy legislation, the politics of the owner/maker often hints at decisions that eventually make it into the software. Many of the reasons to avoid chrome and chromium are similar to this, though not about a specific person but about the values that google holds in fucking over standards. We see this reflected in some of the decisions of say social media platforms (even "free-as-in-beer" ones) and many companies.
In many cases, you're still giving them money and/or power to continue fucking up open standards.
Agreed on the 100% part, but this absolutely isn't specific to political parties. They both love giving corporate handouts with no strings attached. I suspect this has more to do with campaign donations than anything else. It's the same with defense spending where we regularly just can't account for millions of dollars.
Even with the PPP, which was fully bipartisan, they claimed to have strings and then just forgave 10 million of them, even though we know many workers never saw the money intended for them. Slightly different situation, but similar things happened with rural internet initatives in the 90s as well
What are the odds that there's no accountability for any company taking this money?
Fanatical has it on sale for 58$ / 83$ (USD - Steam) right now with a coupon. See the code on the page or use Fanatical17
Maybe, but I suspect it'll get it in an early patch. All this Nvidia/AMD Title stuff feels like those timed-exclusive deals for consoles.
Agreed.
After the very first reveal of it being an open-world game, I was hoping for a lot more exploration, world building, and other tasks. While I appreciated some of the fight mechanics, they definitely had worn thin by the end of the game.
