No, disparaging is disparaging, even if it’s warranted. But, if I were a small streamer who got a key, I would just repeat the non-disparagement clause any time I saw something obviously broken.
They can stop me saying anything negative but that doesn’t cover body language (they might try to sue but they wouldn’t ever be able to prove it to the degree required unless I had posted something like this explanation, and even then it’s dicey), and I don’t see anything in there about a minimum number of positive sentences of words to hit. God help these chucklefucks if they ever run into a Djinni or a cursed monkey’s paw.

The developers of the game had zero input on this. They’re developers; this is a contract which would be written by lawyers, directed by management. The same management who force crunch on the devs you want to blame. Learn to recognise the enemy, please and thanks.

Sure, it’ll probably amount to nothing and OP will have to report the store, maybe go water then for IP theft if the sellers want to be arseholes about it. But it’s always worth trying, even if it’s just so you can say you did.

Every episode of every season, and Gen V too (which has its own version of the scene in question)! Brilliant shows. Keith Urban’s best role yet, no question, and I love the dude that plays Hughie 😁

Freedom of speech guarantees the federal government won’t be able to mete out punishment for speech. It does not mean that anyone can say whatever, wherever, whenever. Social consequences for speech are fair game, as long as those consequences don’t themselves rise to misdemeanor or crime.

No - a shorter sentence than the man himself, though.

Not the OP, but doesn’t the carriage turn back into a pumpkin at midnight? And if she was still inside… well, have you seen that episode of Invincible where one of the heroes tries to Ant-Man explode a villain, but he’s too tough? 🤢
- Comment on Here’s How That Disney 360° Treadmill Works 1 week ago:
If you watch MKBHD’s video, you see him spinning himself around on a chair. The chair legs are in constant contact with some part of the cone thingies while they’re rolling, which means frictio, which means wear. I posted a screenshot from MKBHD’s video in another response that shows what looks like debris all over the surface of the cone rollers; the debris is not uniform and is quite clearly not part of the roller material (I put a screenshot in the reply to another comment, so I’ll just link it here), so I assumed that it was from testing the treadmill with various objects.
As well, there was no need to be a dick about it.

MKBHD’s video shows it moving him around on a chair, spinning the chair, etc etc. In the closeup shots, it looks like there’s debris on the surface of the cone thingies: Image

Something I don’t quite get: it seems like this would grind the shit outta any surface it comes in contact with (or, be ground to shit if whatever’s on it is harder than the material of the cone thingies).
Does anyone have any idea how the constant abrasion is mitigated? Or is it somehow just not that big a deal, like it doesn’t actually chew chunks outta shoe soles?

Sounds like it’s time to start organising large-scale communications to SBS that shit is entirely unacceptable. Fuck it, report the event as a terrorist threat. That motherfucker is a foreign agent trying to destabilise the country, after all!

I’ll accept your jealousy with grace and aplomb, because I’ve wanted to play this since release but haven’t owned a PlayStation since the PS2.
If someone was playing the first Dark Souls for the first time and wanted advice, I’d say something like
To time your parry, watch the enemy’s hand when they swing to attack; when their hand starts to come down, parry
Can I ask for any tips like that you might care to impart? 😊

How much do you know about the “double slit” experiment and its subsequent variations? Because I think that’s a rabbithole you’ll enjoy. That first video is really just context; this next link is another video in that series, and this is the one that really pertains to the consequences of time travel: piped.video/watch?v=8ORLN_KwAgs

- Comment on What is a simple server solution for Jellyfin and Nextcloud? 5 weeks ago:
I think it leaves that up to the host OS; I’m just using SMB network shares, directories in which I bind directly to the containers I want to have access.
- Comment on What is a simple server solution for Jellyfin and Nextcloud? 5 weeks ago:
I guess that I haven’t read the source code to make sure there’s nothing malicious there? I’m kind of a scrub, which is why I decided to give this thing a go in the first place. I say “seems to take care of reverse proxies and stuff” because I haven’t checked at all to make sure any of that’s working. I’ve done no pentesting either. It’s not that I can’t figure out how to manually configure proxmox or whatever, I’m just usually too tired to put in the concerted effort, so Cosmos has allowed me get things up and running quickly and without having to learn too much more than I already know beforehand.
Also, Cosmos does take care of basically everything by itself, but when I first set it up (many patches ago now) there was some issue with the way it assigned UIDs in containers so that the root user in some containerised apps couldn’t see the data even though it was in directories that were correctly bound to the container. I had to enlist a friend with more experience to help me troubleshoot that. So, defaults are usually fine but it’s happy to let you shoot yourself in the foot if you don’t really know what you’re doing.

I use github.com/azukaar/Cosmos-Server on Ubuntu and really like it, seems to take care of reverse proxies and stuff for any new services you add. I’m running on the lowest-spec Hetzner auction I could find, but even so it’s a pretty beastly server with an i7 6700 or something, and 128GB of RAM. I’ve got nextcloud and a bunch of other services running and I rarely go above 10% resource utilisation.
