Yup. I use credit a lot but also pay off my cards every pay period. I get that it sucks for merchants, but you know what sucks worse: getting cheated like this on a debit/cash transaction, or worse having your debit card skimmed.

A relative of mine had the latter and the bank froze her account for weeks while investigating. If it was a credit card they’d just freeze the transaction and maybe send you a replacement card with different #

This does seem like an important step. Like yeah, absolutely report this to the vendor but a theft also occurred so at least get a file going. Providing a police file # might have been enough to get them to refund as well

Or if you’re in Canada: London Drugs actually has decent service in their computer dept

You’re not the only one

I’ve been migrating to Soverin and like it thus far. I’ve only done email and my calendaring though.

It’s not free but it’s also not overly costly.

Or really short adults

I think it very much depends on the type of and source of pain.

For me, Tylenol works for headaches and some cold/flu stuff but I’ve never really found it effective for strained muscles etc

It’s not an emulator it’s an abstraction layer for the DirectX API etc. They’re similar in ways but not quite the same.

As for the difference in native support, well actually having such a later might mean longer support. Some older native games may not run well on future systems as libraries and the kernel change, whereas so long as proton runs, the older games should continue to work.

Proton also adds functionality that wasn’t really in the native Windows, i.e. superior suspend and certain input mapping features.

You can fit an awful lot of Perl into one line too if you minimize it. It’ll be completely unreadable to most anyone, but it’ll run

Interesting. I have similar issues but it’s with streaming the game from PC to Deck etc. It will start to stutter and lag out, but if I turn off the device for a moment then back on it’ll reconnect and be fine thereafter

I didn’t actually know the server code was published. It’d be cool if the client allowed multiple servers so you could talk to people on the “normal” master while also thing a private instance

I think it swallowed rather than spat it this case

I say we nominate him for Sainthood…

Yeah. My buddy lived with his SO. They had kids together. I believe they did have plans to get married but there were financial/planning considerations. At the time, the house was in his name.

He died unexpectedly and without warning due to a previously unknown medical condition. I don’t believe he had a W&T.

The paperwork she had to deal with - much of which would have been not required had they been married - was horrendous, especially anything bank related. The bank also seemed to be doing their best to fuck her over in regards to the family home. It was a nasty ordeal.

That one is for the buttcrack of any co-worker found bending over too far.

Yup. Just waiting for a little while from now when Trump starts deporting Ukranians to Russia because “well the place they came from doesn’t exist it’s Russian now”

The privacy thing isn’t necessarily part of advertising though.

Advertising can be as complex as targeted algorithms built using harvested information and even AI bullshit, or as simple as a sign by the road saying “next right for MegaBurger” or even a small box with “Bob’s autoglass repair” in the paper.

It’s the volume and invasiveness that’s a problem. Ads in your mailbox, ads in your inbox, ads on your streaming service and when you turn on your Roku etc etc acting as blockers to the content you’re actually looking for.

I’m totally cool too go back to having an “autoglass” or “plumbers” section in paper and online yellow Pages etc, which target people actually looking for a service. I’m also cool with places which I subscribe to advertising me deals I might like (not so much signing me up for their shit the first time I buy from them), but the shoving crap in people’s face and information harvesting that needs to end.

Hell, I even have a collection of saved ads that were clever and entertaining I’d share with people, yet most companies go for volume (both audible and amount) over substance

Barbie-wannaby, including the plastic

Jesus fuck I was halfway down before I remember “better check the source”. The fact that something this crazy is still halfway believably scares the shit outta me

I’m guessing one of the reasons it’s not in Steam is that it depends on Java to run? I don’t recall every having a Java based game on Steam
