I wonder if Steam would remove it from people’s libraries in that instance or just the Storefront

The lib Dems and Tories decided to fuck over our youth back in the early 2010s
Lib Dems campaigned on a promise of free uni and did the exact opposite when awarded the power to do something about it.
I can’t bring myself to ever trust a word they say again. And anyone that says the Tories stopped them, they were the only thing keeping the Tories in power, they were a VoNC away from potentially preventing 15 years of Tory kleptocracy

Oh yes, more of this.
I think having a healthy population is key for defense too, do I’d say NHS spending is also defense spending

The latest version of Android allows you to plug your phone into a screen and use it like a desktop
If you mean to use full desktop applications on the go, they aren’t really designed to work on small touch screens. Your best bet for that kind of thing is an ultrabook or netbook style laptop, but that’s not gonna fit in most pockets.

Good, for whatever reason there’s a load of people that cannot comprehend the notion of transport not involving a car
At least now they have a cheaper option to stop burning petrol

- Comment on What editor or IDE do you use and why? 2 weeks ago:
VScode locally, vim if I’m shelled into something
Used to use sublimetext, but roughly a decade ago VSCode ended up getting a lot of inertia, and that resulted in better plugins (at the time anyway)
I’ve used the jetbrains stuff and I do not get the hype whatsoever, it’s bloaty and cumbersome.
One of the main reasons I switched from vim as my main was ping-pong pair programming. I’m not gonna be the arsehole that tries to force a junior dev to figure out vim instead of actually working on the ticket. Still 100% my go-to in text mode though, it’s basically perfect.

Mid thirties—still want to go out sometimes, also enjoy the above other times.
- Comment on Cuts to BBC World Service funding would ‘make us less safe’, MPs tell ministers 2 weeks ago:
The world service is one of the most important things the BBC does and is a big part of the reason the UK wields as much soft power as it does.
Frankly they should be ploughing more funding into it

I also am short sighted, though possibly a bit worse than you given your description. If my glasses suddenly fell off there are plenty of hazards I would potentially miss. Idiot kid about to run into the road, etc.

- Comment on autofocus glasses 2 weeks ago:
I think I’m more concerned about the unfortunate scenarios where:
Glasses fuck up meaning driver can only see near -> something that needs quick reactions happens to avoid someone dying -> driver is fumbling with glasses or trying to find a spare pair -> somebody dies
- Comment on autofocus glasses 2 weeks ago:
I don’t think I want it to be possible for someone’s glasses to die or freeze
People do dangerous things that are made safer by the fact they can see—like driving

Genuinely though, the point of YouTube premium is to get rid of the ads…

I’ve kept my Blu-ray burner in service from the past few rebuilds, probably had it about a decade or so
Though I’m not sure I’ve actually ever burned anything with it—used it to back up some old DVDs recently though

- Comment on Here's for 2 years since I joined Lemmy 3 weeks ago:
Nearly the same for me, but it was closer to the end of June that I moved.
I’ve not contributed to Reddit since, and only really occasionally browse it from my computer when I’m looking for something in particular now.
Kinda helped by the fact the Reddit I used to enjoy seems to be more or less dead anyway. Weird bot filled comment sections, ads shoved in your face, weird monetising features no one asked for, increasingly weird moderation.

I used to use a similar system until I switched to a password manager. Convenience is a big factor, it’s nice to not have to think about logging in. Also coupled with that a secure password is a long password, so not having to type it in is a bonus.
The person says that, since the beginning of the password is unique, its “unhackable”, and that the attacker would need like 3 samples of the password to figure out their system.
I’ve had my data leaked more than 3 times, it’s not an unlikely scenario that someone could get a list of passwords used by someone.
Also once their system is compromised, they have to come up with a new system, then go and change every password. Which if it was me would be hundreds of places. With a password manager there’s no reason not to have completely unique passwords for everything, so if there is a leak, oh well, just change that password.
