When I was setting up my new computer late last year, OneDrive wanted to sync everything in my user folders to OneDrive. No idea why. I knew it’d never fit everything anyway. To get it to stop, I had to create a brand new user account without a Microsoft account attached, move everything over to the new account, and delete the old account.
Now, I only have OneDrive sync my college stuff (homework, projects, notes, PowerPoints, etc.). Nothing else syncs to OneDrive. I backup my PC using a program called Backblaze instead.
It’s at least partially because these games have been available on PC in areas where PSN isn’t available. So people bought them, not knowing that, eventually, PSN would be required.
What’s more, Sony has also removed the game from sale on PC where PSN isn’t available. So now some people can’t even buy the game on PC anymore. And people who do own the game are left with two choices: violate Sony’s own TOS to create a PSN account for a country they don’t live in (something that, ironically, some of Sony’s own support reps have supposedly suggested) or attempt to refund the game.
It’s also worth noting that some countries actually require you to own a PlayStation console to even be able to create a PSN account. You have to create an account via the console. It’s not available on a web browser. One country in particular that I’ve heard this is an issue in is Ukraine.
I’m curious if Sony had properly advertised their account creation requirement much earlier on if people would’ve accepted.
It’s not even that they didn’t properly advertise it. It’s that they changed the requirements completely. Here’s a before and after of one of their FAQ pages:
If you won’t be able to vote on that day for some reason, there are small polling places open for a couple of weeks ahead of that date.
For the record, early voting is an option in many US states, too, and it’s really expanded since COVID. In my state, you could go to any poll location to cast an early vote. It used to be you could only cast an early vote if you were going to be away from home in election day for a specific reason (college or military are the ones I remember, but there were other reasons, too), but it’s expanded so pretty much anyone can do early voting now. On election day, you have to go to your assigned poll location in order to vote if you don’t do early voting.
This varies by state, though. In any case, it’s getting easier to vote, and there are more options to be able to vote, but it’s not nationwide (yet, hopefully).
Can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic or not (the sausage thing seems to imply you are), but all public schools (elementary, middle, and high school) are closed on election day so that they can act as polling locations. Many libraries also act as polling locations on election day.
Yeah, it’s an amazing game. And, yeah, you most likely got the good ending. The other route has more lore and a lot of post game content, assuming you’re playing the Switch version. (The Steam version still has post game content, but they added more in the Switch version.)
The only reason Switch emulation is as far along as it is is because they made a mistake with the hardware in the Switch’s 2017 model. As long as they don’t make a mistake like that again, they’ll probably be fine.
It is their job, but, sometimes (I’m speaking in general terms, not specifically about Nintendo), it’s better to pretend it doesn’t exist, especially because of the Streisand Effect. But, if someone from outside tells them something exists, they might be legally obligated to take action in order to maintain certain legal protections on their properties in the future.
From what I understand this happened to Yuzu recently (and that’s probably what this post is referring to), where, supposedly, some angry person found a bunch of Nintendo email addresses and emailed them all about Yuzu.
I’ve also seen it happen at least one other time, too. Cartoon Network used to have an old MMO called FusionFall (not FusionFall Heroes). It was shutdown several years ago, but a community of devs decided to remake the game, and they were even working on upgrading the graphics. They were making some really significant progress on it. Some guy apparently got banned from it, though. (It was in a public beta.) And they emailed Cartoon Network about it. Cartoon Network sent a Cease & Desist, and it disappeared immediately.
I once had several dreams within a dream, like they were layered on top of each other, Inception style. It was quite honestly the worst nightmare I’ve ever had. Then I woke up, and my parents hadn’t even gone to bed yet. I was awake for most of the night after that.
This isn’t intended to sound insensitive and is meant as a question: don’t phones have accessibility features for the blind to help them read and reply to texts and do other stuff? (I mean, I know they do, but I don’t know yo what extent they’re actually helpful.)
That one’s actually kinda useful, TBH. I used to work as a bagger, and it’s surprising how many times shoppers forget (whether intentionally or not) they put a pack of water bottles or tissue paper or something on the bottom of the cart.
the second one from the top on the right side is the mute button.
I’m trying this the next time I pull up to a Shell station. I hate feeling like I’m in a Ford truck commercial thanks to that music they play every time I fill up there.
It definitely doesn’t take care of everything, but there are apps that run all the internet traffic on your phone through an adblocker. Most of the ones on Android setup a local VPN (a VPN running on the same device that’s connecting to it) and run their adblocker through that.
Still, if people don’t interact with Threads content, that effectively keeps them separate.
Also, come to think of it, what’s keeping companies from “vacuuming” everyone’s data without actually having a public instance that has users interacting with posts on other instances? Example: Instance A exists. What’s stopping a company that runs Instance B, which doesn’t have any active users on it, from taking all the available data from Instance A? Genuine question, by the way. I haven’t exactly kept up with the technical workings of Lemmy very well.
Lemmy just launched it in v0.19 yesterday, so you’ll have to wait for the people running your instance (in your case, the Beehaw mods) to update it. Looks like Beehaw is still running v0.18.4.
Believe it or not, Wikipedia actually does use a single global account for all of its wikis. That includes Wikipedia, Wiktionary, Wikimedia Commons, and almost every other site listed on their website. The only one you have to create a separate account for is their test wiki where they test new versions of MediaWiki (the software they develop for their wikis).
Jimmy Wales actually isn’t as directly involved in Wikipedia as he once was. These days, he only holds the chair emeritus and the founder’s seat on the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees.
His chair position changed to a chair emeritus in 2006, and the site implemented the unified login feature in May 2008, though they’d been discussing implementing the feature since 2005.
