    Even then the website can ask where are ye from and then display the appropriate prices if they really wanted.

    They can do that for delivery costs, why not for taxes

    This is it for me. I used to use caddy a few years ago because writing config files was a breeze. Now I "use" nginx because I can define everything in a few lines of nix and it's configured automagically for me.

    a fancy new startup will start calling them decentralised pods for personal transportation. Promise to be revolutionary.
    Preforms worse than all know forms of transport so far

    The human eye can't see more than 0.5 frames per second anyways (/s)

    This set of actions (making non Foss and deleting Foss code) will essentially blacklist it from any company that has used it in the past.

    Last place I was at the process for getting legal to review and sign off on specific versions of a Foss was about 6 months, with one of the fields on the form being alternatives.

    All the bad choices and dumb decisions I made as an adult...

    Being older dosent stop ye from making stupid mistakes, heck it's more likely ye make bigger mistakes that are harder to fix

    Not sure when ye last played but the survival in 76 has been toned down, no longer die from hunger/thirst.
    And it might be because I default to sneeky sniper but foes were rarely an issue for me.

    I loved how quiet 76 was on release, and so much lore/storytelling everywhere.

    If you're looking for a Bethesda-style, open-world RPG, Starfield scratches that itch

    This is the highest praise I would expect of the game, and possibly why I love 76 so much.
    Now really excited for tonight.

    I've been playing fo4 and Fo76. It's actually quite interesting seeing the graphical jump between them, makes me hopeful Starfield will look good and have good enough gunplay

    Heh ye, it's always funny to see Americans (in large vehicles) get stuck on the smol and narrow roads in the west of Ireland.

    It's not just the design but also the factany were laid down before cars were a thing so they tend to wind and twist.

    One thing though is the speed that feels safe for a driver does not always line up for what is safe for other users of the road. Bigger cars make drivers feel safer at the expense of everyone else.

  • /r/programming came back up two days ago and as far as I can tell everything relating to the blackout was wiped. I kinda expected it since spez was admin. Another thing that surprised me was how much chatGPT bot spam there is (danm it is so so bad, wonder what the mods are doing over there.... ah yes, spez). I used to sort by hot so it was hidden away a bit for me before. Anyways I hope Lemmy does not fall into the same pitfalls! *goes back into lurk mode*
