I ride a bike to work every day. I’m never sweaty. The infrastructure to cycle exists so I won’t get run over by cars.

He made the games worse, but that doesn’t mean he made them less profitable. Those are sadly distinct goals. The CEO does not have an incentive to make good art.

I’m so happy this is becoming more mainstream. Huge props to people like NotJustBikes for such effective propagandizing.

100%. If you are a car wanting to pass a bike and there is an oncoming car, you wait behind the bike for the other car to pass before overtaking.

This road is also probably super rural and does not have enough traffic for this to become an issue. Overtaking and oncoming traffic is not a constant given how sparse the traffic is.

Oh yeah that went way over my head

No idea why? gas is kind of a big part of why

The employees might not have money for a car since they get paid a shit wage… which means having to walk through the car infrastructure.

Or you could design cities to have green in the first place by designing for better modes of transport than cars. Cars take up a huge amount of space both while traveling and while not in use, instead of spending all that money and space on cars you can have public transit, cycling infrastructure, walking infrastructure, and greener cities.

In the case of GDPR it is not just for simplicity. It’s because companies that operate in the EU need to provide those protections to all EU citizens, even those across the pond. You cannot check if someone is an EU citizen so if you operate in the EU you effectively need to treat everyone like an EU citizen.

Just a small note, universal healthcare isn’t an EU thing and not really adopted properly across the EU’s constituent countries

The good news is that GDPR protects you somewhat regardless of where you’re from and who you are. If a company fucks with the privacy of an EU citizen living in the USA they are still on the hook, so companies generally adopt the measures (e.g. the ability to request and delete all your data) globally. You can even just get a VPN and set it to somewhere in the EU.

Accepting cookies is not a GDPR regulation. It’s the cookie law, which is a lot older than GDPR.

Why not have a state-run instance on an open platform? It’s better than relying on a corporation’s platform. The government is ‘the people’ more than corporations are.

They decreased over the past 13 years.

While that’s an option the desktop site is barely navigable on a desktop let alone on a mobile device

Aren’t they also pushing changes to have mobile browsers redirect to the app with no option for staying in the browser?

I don’t like that the author implies they should make DayZ more fast paced and focused on short rounds like the Battle Royale genre that sprung in part from DayZ mod mods. DayZ is a unique experience to me because of its slow pacing. I don’t have the time to play anymore but hours long gun fights and stand offs with characters that I kept alive for weeks of in-game time were exactly what made DayZ stand out from any other experience out there. There’s dozens of fast paced Battle Royale style games out there already, DayZ 2 doesn’t need to add to that list. If they can create a more stable and polished experience by reworking the core game then that’d be what I hope to see from DayZ 2.

It’s worth noting that Switzerland is not in the European Union, which is the entity that probably has jurisdiction over copyright in a lot of the cases you’re describing.

Yeah you absolutely are in danger of people denying you the hormone blockers out of transphobia. Hopefully you are in a place where this isn’t tolerated.

Yeah it lags behind because Chromium is developed by Google, which is the 4th biggest company in the world. And Safari is obviously from Apple which is the largest company in the world. I don’t think the fact that Mozilla lags behind should upset anyone. The fact they can compete at all is impressive I think.
