I’m no expert either but as I understand it, the core service they are most well known for is protection against DDOS attacks. By routing traffic first to Cloudflare before sending it to the intended destination, it can try to check to make sure that whatever it’s routing isn’t coming from a botnet or whatever.

I have never seen a drawfee ep that gives me bad vibes and they’ve raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for some pretty nice charities in just the last year
“Ruined” seems like a strong word but the yolk wasn’t supposed to break
I’m on voyager and it still takes up quite a bit of real estate. Wish there were an option for it not to open at all unless I tap it
Nope, it’s just that way by default. Drives me nuts too.
Used to be if I found the site of a newspaper I thought I liked, I’d turn off my ad blocker to see how it goes.
I don’t even try any more. Again and again and again, every time I turn it off the page gets so cluttered that following the article becomes a chore and takes up so many resources that even scrolling slows to a crawl. Ludicrous nonsense.
Exercises on lichess are one of my favorite ways to kill time. Haven’t played a real game in years but I love the low pressure of running through little scenarios, even if I can’t always grasp why the computer thinks a particular line is optimal lol
(And you can do a bunch of them offline)
Maybe I just have wack taste buds but i think the morningstar faux fried chicken patties are pretty good. But they’re basically a giant veggie nuggie so idk
They’re not even into supporting their first generation of VR titles, hard to imagine they’d ever bother with PC
They’re still taking something they didn’t make and selling it as though they did. I have every right to write and film a Batman movie, spend as much time I want making it professional, and then show it to people, as long as I don’t charge them for it. That doesn’t give Fox or whoever the right to take my movie and charge for it instead. Even if I did break the law by making people pay for it, the actual owners would only be entitled to that money, not to go make mroe money off of it themselves. It’s still my work even if it uses concepts invented by someone else.
There’s a reason every franchise under the sun has mountains of fanart and fanfic without the companies that own them trying to take control of it: it’s blatantly illegal.
This girls team was winning because the boys haven’t gone through puberty yet. Not saying it was ok to ban them, but it’s false to claim that differences in bone mass and muscle density are imaginary. It just doesn’t happen until after puberty.
And chess isn’t exactly segregated by gender. The women’s league exists to make women in chess more visible, to make it easier to pursue sponsorships, and to encourage more women to join the game. But women are free to compete in the “men’s” category (which is actually called the “open” category), and often do. The reasons women haven’t gotten to the top of it yet are cultural; women are discouraged from starting to play the game at a young age as all the top players do, and so far fewer women attempt the climb in the first place. But it will happen eventually.
Now if you want to talk about how transphobic FIDE is, there’s some real merit in those accusations. Their rules around people who are transitioning are nonsensical, punishing people for absolutely no reason. But the women’s league itself exists for good reasons.
No, that is exactly the over-broad, willy-nilly, tossed-around definition they were talking about. Gaslighting has a much more insidious context than simply making someone question themselves. It means doing it on purpose; intentionally lying to someone and trying to convince them that they’re crazy. Like if I said I was going to the grocery and then when I came back with nothing, I insisted I never said that. Or if i borrowed $50 and when it came time to pay you back, I try to tell you I only borrowed $25. It’s inherently deceptive and cruel.
Calling them “the aughts” is also the best way I’ve found to refer to that decade
Yeah this is news to me, I’ve never watched it but I remember reading that it had trans characters
The Index’s lighthouse tracking was actually a selling point for me. My first VR experience was a Quest 2 and I was surprised at how often my hands lost tracking; playing Alyx and trying to grab ammo was incredibly frustrating.
I’m not saying that piracy, as a general concept, results in zero losses for a company. There are people who would have paid to see a thing, who won’t thanks to piracy. I am saying that there is also a ton of stuff I would never pay to see, but would happily watch if it were free. Having some interest in a thing isn’t the same as being willing to pay for it.
Hell, there’s also stuff that I saw thanks to piracy that I wound up liking so much I went back and paid for a copy. In that sense, companies can make money through piracy. The point is that piracy isn’t taking something like theft is, it’s copying something.
That’s not what I said at all.
depends on who theyre fucking
