licenses are a very IT central idea.
No, that’s just the implementation you’re most familiar with. Licenses are a copyright idea that IT adopted and made digital. Every physical movie and game you own also comes with a license that authorizes your retail use of it, but forbids your commercial use of it. You can’t rent your copy of Shrek out to people, nor can you charge admission to people to watch Shrek at your house, nor are you allowed to make copies of your Shrek DVD and sell them, for example.

Ben Franklin was very progressive for his time. He owned a few slaves early in his life, but soon freed them and spent the rest of his life as one of that time period’s most outspoken critics of slavery. He even bought a printing press so he could spread anti-slavery rhetoric more effectively.
You have internet, there’s no excuse for being wrong unless you just like spreading misinformation.

Whenever lemmings feel like posts are getting too political, doomy, or whatever, the hive mind decides to post beans

All of that sounds unintuituve and complicated, which I think is the main complaint overall.

Best start believing. Politics directly affects literally every single aspect of your day-to-day life whether you believe in it or not.

I think it would have to be. Something like Arma or maybe MGS5

Yes. Encrypted traffic is still traffic and can still be measured.
Yes. Although, most people are mistakenly of the impression he was born in Illinois. This is not the case. Lincoln practiced law in Illinois, was in the Illinois house of reps, was the US rep for Illinois, and lived in Illinois most of his life, but the log cabin he was born in was actually just outside of Louisville, Kentucky.
See, that’s funny because Ford does actually make Lincoln
Just because it’s possible to be more correct doesn’t mean it’s wrong.

Learn whichever one you’re more likely to actually use or practice. I learned French in high school and college to the point I could listen to French news and (mostly) follow along and read simple fiction books.
As soon as I left that environment where it was constantly practiced and reinforced, my comprehension slowly decreased. With no one to speak it with and being unwilling to dedicate practice time to it, over the course of nearly two decades, I’ve forgotten nearly all of it.

Depending on the bag, foil works better. Always test your gear before relying on it.

Kinda like Armored Core that’s online and couch co-op. Instead of robots, you fight armored bugs, like Starship Troopers. Think Deep Rock Galactic co-op against bugs with Zone of the Enders style mechs and Killing Floor style wave based survival with a boss at the end.

Conscripted
A game where you’re conscripted into an army for an authoritarian regime and sent to commit atrocities against innocent people on their behalf. You can play through the game normally, following orders and getting an ending of some kind.
Or, you can go AWOL, betray your country, and organize a resistance. This option will not be advertised or indicated by the game in any way; it’s available only to those who dare try to go against the game.

Don Dickle comes to mind. Guy treats this place like his personal search engine. If you read his bio, it says multiple people share the account.
- gastroglizzy@piefed.socialtoAsk Lemmy@lemmy.world•What happened to the 2023 Reddit API protest?English8·5 days ago
I think it lasted for a couple of weeks.
It lasted exactly two weeks. No demands were met. No further action was taken.How come there wasn’t a protest like that when they made even worse decisions?
Following the original “protest” some subs remained dark to continue the boycott. These communities were either banned or had their moderators replaced with more compliant ones. Some subs saw their moderators banned for dissent, then the entire sub was banned for being unmoderted. After that, dissenting users were systematically banned, either explicitly for dissenting, or implicitly for various BS reasons. Now, Reddit is mostly AI bots with a handful of real people who either drink the kool-aid or have learned that the nail who sticks out gets the hammer.
Don’t forget glazing the GTA 6 trailer
