- Comment on How OnlyFans Piracy Is Ruining the Internet for Everyone | Innocent sites are being delisted from Google because of copyright takedown requests against rampant OnlyFans piracy. 1 day ago:
Yeah, pretty much my takeaway. It’s not OF piracy or even enforcement of copyright, it’s out of control automation.
- Comment on Today’s game consoles are historically overpriced 4 days ago:
You can’t compare current generations to previous because starting with the PS3/Xbox 360 the generations became artificially extended.
With no no new impending hardware, there’s no impetus to reduce prices and clear stock.
The OG Xbox 360 launched with a 20 GB hard drive (2005). That got a price cut when the 60 GB version was announced (2008) and that coincided with the much more expensive “Elite” with 120 GB. Similarly that had a price cut when the 250 GB version came out in 2009.

We aren’t currently seeing models be replaced like this.
- Comment on FTC chair Andrew Ferguson warns Google not to filter or suppress emails sent by Republicans over Gmail 4 days ago:
It’a all going to boil down to heuristics and phrasing. Republicans are sending content more likely to be identified as spam OR reciepients are flagging it as spam more often.
- Comment on FTC chair Andrew Ferguson warns Google not to filter or suppress emails sent by Republicans over Gmail 4 days ago:
This isn’t about Republican officials using Gmail, it’s about Republicans targeting Gmail addresses.
If you don’t want to be identified as spam, don’t send spammy content. Really that simple.

Outside the US, 3L is pretty common. I’ve RARELY seen them in the US and mostly at import stores.

I had one, I had the tape drive for the Commodore 64 as well.
The Supercharger back in the day wasn’t that expensive, about $70 or the price of 2 games, because you had to supply your own tape player, the supercharger just connected to it with a wire.

Daily Fail reporting an unsourced story from Egypt… seems unlikely.
BUT - here’s where I could see it possibly being a problem (besides your teeth).
The dry noodles are going to absorb fluid and soften which could cause a fluid imbalance or blockage.
Also, the kid supposedly ate 3 packages. If that included ramen seasoning packs, that much sodium can’t be good for you either.

I feel the opposite when I hear people complain about load times… “We want you to buy our SSD so your gsme will boot in 11 seconds instead of 19 seconds!”
Son, let me tell you about loading games from casette tape.
You’d start it loading, get up and go have dinner with the family. After 30 minutes, maybe it would be done. Maybe.
Maybe it hit an error 5 minutes after you walked away and now you need to re-wind and try again.

I was big into gaming and computers back then and this is the first time I’ve heard of this.
On paper, it sounds great… A 5200 with more memory and no shitty joysticks?
Compatible with the Atari 400/800 software?
Shit, I would have bought one just for Star Raiders. Of course this was also 2 years after the Amiga and Atari ST battles as well. Why would anyone want an 8 bit experience in that era?
