This has been a thing since 2005 or so, why are we still surprised again?

"I have already had to start to get used to the fact that the president will talk about how I look, how I sound, where I'm from, who I am. Ultimately because he wants to distract from what I'm fighting for," Mamdani said. "And I'm fighting for the very working people that he ran a campaign to empower that he has since then betrayed."

I think I like this guy

That's a problem of the US law or lack of consumer protections compared to UK/EU, not because it's Nintendo. All the other companies have this too.

it can suspend all kinds of services on your console, up to and including bricking it completely.

No, just online services.

Xbox and PlayStation have the same terms & conditions. Why is Nintendo being singled out?

Xbox:

You will not attempt to defeat or circumvent any Xbox Console, Kinect Sensor or Authorised Accessory technical limitation, security or anti-piracy system. If You do, Your Xbox Console, Kinect Sensor or Authorised Accessory may stop working permanently at that time or after a later Xbox Software update.

PlayStation:

we reserve the right to take any action we believe necessary to remedy the violation or to protect SIE’s interests, including: (a) the automatic removal or blockage of content associated with those Accounts; (b) implementation of upgrades or devices intended to discontinue unauthorized use; (c) the permanent or temporary disablement of access to any PSN Content, PlayStation Devices, products, services or features; (d) notifying law enforcement or the appropriate authority; and (e) initiating legal action.

edit: added some more words from the respective ToS to make it more legible

Tried imdb but the song isn't listed. Perhaps some site or app that can recognise songs will be helpful?

That skit was funny though, thanks for the laugh!

Careful with those laptops though, they run really hot. I have the same one and my dedicated GPU is broken, possibly from overheating but I will admit I can't know for sure.

Yeah it's not good, it's just a weird thing to put in the headline. It's like comparing a new hatchback with its competition, but then also say it's slower than the newest Ferrari. I think that should be a given as it's a fraction of the price

I'm not against the message but this is a uniqlo ad/partnership, just saying.

Edit: I realize this isn't technically a house plant as it is outdoors. Hope that's okay 😅

In my language we call them Church Owls instead of Barn Owls because they nest in churches a lot.

Went to a demonstration slash workshop today where different owls and other birds of prey were introduced and talked about. Very interesting day!

After Profile effects and Avatar decorations, you can now buy Name Plates for your profile.

Honestly, this is the type of monetization that I dislike the least, considering the alternatives. You don't even have to have Nitro afaik, the premium subscription that allows mostly cosmetic perks

Discord has begun requiring some users in the United Kingdom and Australia to verify their age through a facial scan before being permitted to access sensitive content. The chat app’s new process has been described as an “experiment,” and comes in response to laws passed in those countries that place guardrails on youth access to online platforms. Discord has also been the target of concerns that it does not sufficiently protect minors from sexual content.

You might remember this post where I asked about how sorting by "Hot" gives you a lot of new posts that were posted in quick succession, making it look like "New".

I was recommend by a few to use "Scaled", so recently I did. Except this felt even worse: I saw new posts that were posted in succession with 0 upvotes, one having 1 upvote.

Isn't this weird? Or am I doing it wrong?

Not sure if this fits here, feel free to remove if not.

I'm sure the algorithm must be working as intended, but I always see a lot of rapid-fire posts under each other when browsing "Hot". Is this normal or am I missing a setting?

Part of the abstract:

Recent findings on the abilities of birds to see in the ultraviolet (UV) spectrum have expanded questions about plumage coloration to include the luminescent characteristics of bird plumage, including fluorescence. Yet little is understood about the function of fluorescent pigments, and very few studies have attempted to describe their distribution throughout a population. In this study, we used a fluorometer to measure variation in the amount of fluorescent pigments (e.g. porphyrins) extracted from the secondary coverts of Long-eared Owls (Asio otus) migrating through the Upper Peninsula of Michigan in the spring of 2020 (n = 99). We found that age and sex were the strongest predictors of fluorescent pigment concentration, wherein older and female birds had the highest fluorescent pigment concentrations.

I understand this is not your regular Superb Owl post, but I found it mighty interesting!

I had a look via Xcancel and they're not arguing about the labels, they are calling it a win and saying they are the good guys

At least you can hide them, for now. Another notch on the "enshittification" scale.

"we have no choice but to follow Reddits guidelines"

There's another choice, but that would require you to look past reddit.

You know, at face value he's absolutely right. We shouldn't claim care that is unnecessary or maybe even harmful. But where we disagree is that I think that decision should be left to our medical professionals
