Sounds like it comes with a free trial of Norton.

I’m on desktop using Firefox. I tried both the article URL and the top level domain and it wouldn’t take either. Could have just been a temporary issue I guess.

Interesting. I tried to post this same article last night and I kept getting “invalid URL”. Is there a trick to posting @BrikoX@lemmy.zip?

Yep, “AI” is a very fancy database query masquerading as science fiction.

Yeah, it’s a fantastic game. I think i’m probably at about 700 hours :D
The expansion is called Fangs of Asterkarn and is gonna have a bunch of cool stuff! I think they said it’ll be out Q1 or early Q2 next year.
- Comment on Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week? 1 week ago:
I had planned to play the Metro series but instead I’m playing Grim Dawn which works out fine with the new expansion coming soon.
- Comment on Where do British Christmas traditions really come from? 2 weeks ago:
Thats what I said. I said it is either a Christian or Consumerist occasion.
- Comment on Where do British Christmas traditions really come from? 2 weeks ago:
What an awfully written and excessively reductionist article.
Arguing against Christmas as a Christian or Consumerist occasion would have been a better use of their time.

Waterfox. As I understand it, Librewolf goes to extremes for privacy to the point where it may impact your browsing experience. Waterfox cares about privacy too but not to the same extreme.

Instructions unclear. Purchased a 5090, 9800X3D and 64gb DDR5 RAM for playing Terraria. Also, it has shiny lights.

I’m in the UK so I can’t access the site without a VPN at all.
I figured it was worth posting because I don’t have to constantly pass a cloudflare challenge to access lemmy.zip or stay logged in (i’ve been logged in without interruption for weeks). It’s only images.lemmy.zip that I have this issue with so it seemed to me that was not in keeping with other parts of the site.

I found under ‘Projects’ on the website it’s from March 2005 which makes sense given the mention of Kazaa in the introduction.

I’m back to Terraria for the umpteenth time. This time a thrower class with the Thorium mod. Currently building an Alpine resort with a ski jump as my base before entering hardmode. Next up is starting the Metro FPS series.

That’s hilarious lmao.
- Comment on Google's Agentic AI wipes user's entire HDD without permission in catastrophic failure 4 weeks ago:
They still exist because Google isn’t really a technology company anymore. It’s an advertising company masquerading as a technology company. Their success depends on selling more ads which is why all the failed projects don’t seem to make a difference.

- Comment on steam vs gog, which game store to buy from? 5 weeks ago:
Buying a game on Steam gets you the same perpetual license for your copy of the game as it does on GoG (the same as any software). The difference is Steam’s DRM (requiring the Steam Client to run the game). AFAIK Steam have said in the past that they have a plan to remove it if Steam shuts down.
Here’s a video that lays it out in detail as to what game ownership means amongst other things www.youtube.com/watch?v=tUAX0gnZ3Nw.
The big question about all this stuff is how far companies (both game and non-game software) can push their “you don’t own your software” agenda before facing a significant legal challenge and what the outcome of that legal challenge will be.
