  It’s a Linux command. It means Remove (rm) from the root folder (rf) everything, and don’t warn me about this action (/*)

  Plus he only really came back with the last Crisis or something, so he’s pretty fresh for lack of a better term

  Even emails have tracking pixels at this point. Like, I route all of my email through a client that blocks all outside media without asking lol

  There is no such thing as an unintrusive advertisement.

  At this point I only trust reviews that have pictures or videos of the product.

  Finally, an excuse to use the Wayback Machine for all of my searches!

  Not especially.

  A few years back, in November 2020, Bungie decided to vault all of the DLC before their most recent at the time (Shadowkeep); this was to both keep the game fresh and without cheesy weapons and whatnot, as well as to keep the game size lower. The thing is, those campaigns and raids that they vaulted? Those were the only Free-to-play aspects aside from the basic game modes at the time.

  What I’m getting at here though is that because they got rid of those experiences, a lot of the story elements that were previously established with those campaigns were gone. Now the only way to experience them is to: a) Look at the in-game Timeline b) read the lore books in their tab, or c) watch YouTube for a good 2 hours at least to figure out what the hell the Fallen are, why the Witness is our Big Bad, and why Taniks always comes back.

  I’ve been using Emby now and it’s just better, plus Jellyfin uses some of Emby’s databases (as per a few crashlogs I’ve seen)

  So, obviously this is a very bad thing to happen to Plex; however there is a secret/locked library functionality iirc from using it before.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨DoorDash now warns you that your food might get cold if you don’t tip⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Usually yes, but then again, when you’re getting paid $7.50/hr, it’s essentially supplemental income.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Get gud⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Look up the keywords on Google Scholar?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Some Walmart employees say customers are getting hostile at self-checkout — and they blame anti-theft tech⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s pretty hard to do if you live in an area that only has the one store near, and even then; would the multi-billion dollar company really care if it gets like $1200 less per year from a single customer?

  Instagram is just Facebook with more pictures though tbf

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨And now Bezos is trying to inserts ads everywhere⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, Pirate Bay is essentially the defacto website someone thinks of when they hear “This person pirates content.” Because of this, game devs, Hollywood execs, etc end up putting out detectable torrents/illegitimate files onto this most popular pirating source.

  Use your Country’s stock exchange. Also depends on if they’re doing business in that country too though iirc.

  Wait how do you disable shorts this is the first I’m hearing of this

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Just picked up DOOM Eternal (2020) for $5 on eBay⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  The Doom Eternal soundtrack was super delayed, and Bethesda/iD put the blame on Mick Gordon saying that he missed multiple deadlines to finish up the masters of the tracks. (Iirc they also fired him and hired someone new to make the DLC soundtracks) Mick Gordon responded a while after with reciepts that proved that they gave him practically impossible deadlines.
