Or alternatively not taking the mobile operators side - being able to charge £10000 data costs to stream a couple of football matches worth of data shouldn't be allowed.

In what possible way does that price come anywhere close to the costs of the providers in servicing that data?

Outer Wilds is so good. A perfect game for Switch. And the DLC included too, which was also superb.

Pity they can't release a way to erase the game from my memory so I can play it afresh. Half the point of the game (and DLC) is just figuring out what the game is. Because I already know what to do I'd just complete it in about 10 minutes so it's sadly not worth me picking it up again.

But anyone who hasn't played it, please give it a go. It's just wonderful.

An hour of grinding - that they will also sell you powerups to help you skip that grind.

The last election was in 2006. 17 years ago. The median age of people there is only 20. Most of those people didn't vote for anyone, let alone Hamas. And even those that did vote, Hamas got less than 50% of the vote.

Also, nice use of ableist slurs there. Is that really appropriate?

Lens has been one of the most impressive bits of Google tech for years, but it still flies under the radar. I guess they're just going to label it 'AI' now to get people to pay attention to it.

It's not so much that it was difficult, it's that it felt a bit more unfair than BotW. It seemed like the regular grunts (Bokoblins etc.) were far tougher than they needed to be. Every single encampment of them would have a few silver ones and they're just damage sponges - you just get through all your weapons just clearing out a small camp. Even the master sword felt like it used up a whole charge just taking out a few of those buggers. I shouldn't have to completely rebuild and restock my weapon arsenal every time I clear out a small camp of fodder.

The game itself didn't really feel much harder than BotW though. It's just all these little encounters that annoyed me.

You can't replicate the cinema experience at home, regardless of how big your TV is or how impressive your audio setup is.

Watching some epic sci-fi on the big screen, or communally experiencing some creepy horror movie, or a whole crowd of 100s laughing along together at a ludicrous comedy is something I don't want to give up.

Sure, a lot of films are fine to watch at home but with a decent audience the cinema experience can't be beaten.

I like the fact that the article had to refer to the non-Musk site as XSM instead of its full name of 'X Social Media' because it would just make the article too confusing to use the proper name.

That perfectly illustrates the point.

I suppose it also means that if XSM lose the case because X is too generic, anyone can then set up a rival social media company also called X.

They can probably use the same logo too as it's just Unicode.

Yes, you really didn't read anything else I wrote did you. Good to see that Lemmy is just as full of people who feel the need to spout their opinions but don't actually want to engage with anyone else's. Why should people listen to you if you don't want to listen to anyone else?

We encourage women to use their bodies for sport, for fashion, for art, for drama, for motherhood... who are you to say that they shouldn't by their own free-will do another profession or service?

Sex work is still work. People will choose to do it for a wide variety of reasons. Online they can be completely in control of how they do it and who they choose to work with and for.

You can be a prude if you wish, but sex work is one of, if not the oldest profession out there. It's going to exist whether you like it or not. Let's just make sure people aren't exploited against their wishes and that they can work safely and in full control of their own actions

It's a movie about a theoretical physicist who became a project manager.
