And a bunch I didn’t complete, but felt I got good value from for <10h playtime.
Mama told me not to come.
She said, that ain’t the way to have fun.

Same, but also add Fanatical and game giveaways.
Exactly. I almost never pay full price on Steam, and I add a lot of keys from Humble or Fanatical bundles where I only intend to play half or so.
So yeah, I’m guessing it’s actually 10% or so of that figure if we make a few rules:
That would probably get us pretty close to the real number.
Same, but with 10 ish. I even had a Saturn with fewer problems, and those were notorious for issues.
I’m in Utah with <1/10 the population and see them fairly frequently.
Well, if anyone points out a pedo in my neighborhood, I’ll do something about it.
Yeah, why do you think you can put bumps on my nice, flat screen. Entitles pieces of crap… :)
… I’ll stare directly at the sun but never in the mirror
Yeah, not buying that kind of nonsense. I hate how defensively I have to think when buying a car. This and electronic ebrakes really bother me.
So, the opposite of an abacus as a replacement for an ALU?
Two options:
But the general idea of things still working despite failure is the essence of what the OP was saying. People seem to not like comments that refine what others say (I have plenty of experience there), they prefer comments that either correct or blatantly support the parent comment. I don’t get it, but whatever.
Wordpress does a lot of things. You need to specify which things you want to do in order to narrow down a replacement. For example:
The more you can narrow your requirements, the easier it will be to find a secure solution.
It’s technically a bit faster, but yeah, I think charging more is the bigger motivation.
Exactly. A plug-in architecture is a feature, and it’s really hard to secure. Instead of going that route, they should have instead solved specific problems. When you make it easy to add someone else’s code, you also make it easy to forget to remove it later, or to not stay updated on which plugins are deprecated/abandoned.
A plug-in system is insecure by design for a public-facing service. YAGNI, so pick a handful of stuff you actually need.
But they do because they control their developer ecosystem.
I agree that consoles should allow competing stores, but that’s not the current reality.
Set time limits.
There are apps that block opening apps longer than some amount of time. I used that to reduce my Reddit usage to a healthy level before I eventually bailed on it. Or you can use the simpler strategy of setting an alarm for yourself (e.g. if you want to play an hour, set an hour timer when you play).
If you find you’re consistently going over your time limit for a given thing, stop using it and replace it with something that you have a healthier relationship with. At a certain level, it’s an addiction, so cut out what you’re addicted to and replace it with something else that’s interesting. For example, if you like shooters but Splatoon is sucking too much of your time, maybe play Metro, Superhot, or Wolfenstein, each of those is SP only and has a clear ending, so you’re unlikely to get addicted to it.
I switched largely to SP games, and now I’m much happier and have a healthier relationship to games. The same is true for other things I used to spend way too much time on.
Yup, 3 is basically what I’m thinking, but potentially with Teixiera looking for money in some way (i.e. maybe getting hired elsewhere?).
But I want to hear Mozilla’s side before really forming that opinion. I’ve heard Teixiera’s side of the story, and I’ve looked into potential motivations, now I want to hear the opposing side to decide which is the simplest explanation.
How do you arrive at that conclusion?
Mozilla has consistently supported user privacy and the open web, which is consistent with their mission statement. They also need to pay the bills, and they’ve done that in a very unobtrusive way. Look at Pocket, which is easy to disable and is reasonably privacy friendly (for what it does). Look at Mozilla VPN, which is just repackaged Mullvad, essentially the gold standard for privacy-friendly VPN.
Yeah, Mozilla does a lot of stuff I disagree with and I’d run it differently, but I think they do enough good that they’re on the good end of the spectrum. Using Firefox isn’t the lesser of evils, it’s a decent option among good options. Maybe it’s not the best for you, but it’s pretty good.
Yup, I’m guessing there’s some sort of GoFundMe angle here.
That may be warranted, I just want more facts first. People like to play the victim to garner sympathy, and I want to make sure that’s not happening here.
I have never spent a dime at EGS, but I have hundreds of games from their giveaways. I’m rich!
