On kindles you can highlight passages and there's an option to see the most highlighted passages. Not quite the same as notes but a bit similar. I find it annoying and have it disabled however.

Because the gambling industry is a parasite.

Millennial - everything sucks and I wish I was dead.

I believe they were joking. Maybe you should check your sense of humour?

They're definitely not gone.

Yeah, according to the 'GPS Test' Android app my phone is picking up and using GNSS signals from GPS, Galileo, GLOSNAS, and Beidou sats.

Not quite.

I used to use Windows Backup with One Drive years ago but it just really pissed me off, especially with how My Documents is handled.

There was that time I discovered several GB of screenshots had been automatically saved to My Pictures from some setting they snuck into the printscreen screen grab tool and then that of course those were automatically uploaded to the cloud. After disabling the option it would sometimes reenable itself.

And game devs throwing random shit into My Documents was also fun. Ubisoft were terrible for this, after playing a game I'd notice a bunch of cache files they dumped into My Docs being uploaded. I mean putting save games and config files inside my docs is annoying enough, random cache files is just taking the piss.

Also windows backup would mess up my desktop between systems on occasion which was also very fun!

I disabled most of the shit but it was still annoying on occasion. Then a year or two ago I solved the problem by just using Linux for 90% of things, Mint at first but now Fedora, and grudgingly booting back into Windows for the other 10% of my needs.

Wow, a real life tankie. I'm no fan of the neoliberal western order but you're delusional if you think China is in any way democratic.

I've seen people expressing full blown communist economic views here without being banned so I suspect your ban was for something else entirely.

It's channels marked NSFW that you need verification for and it's also incredibly easy to bypass with a VPN.

And sometimes the Windows version runs better under Proton than the native Linux build due to the port being so poorly done which is kinda funny.

Occasionally I do still run things under Windows though like Cyberpunk 2077 as I got about 15 more frames under Windows which let me bump the graphics up a bit more.

Or Assassin's Creed Mirage which got me double the FPS somehow. Currently playing AssCree Shadows on Windows too as it just refuses to run at all via Proton. Other people seem to get it running fine so I dunno why I can't. Ah well.

Shame the final act seemed a bit rushed though with the Upper City completely axed. Having the coronation in a gatehouse was pretty funny.

There's no "need" to, just some people's preference. Also you can play the game just fine on PlayStation or Xbox using a game pad too.

Or just Proton

I often correct people regarding the US not using Imperial as well but to be fair the only significant difference these days is in fluid measurements. Weight and length measurements were standardised between US customary and Imperial back in the 1950s

I find it quite baffling you'd want to drop In halfway through a 3 hour movie, you'd miss out on so much!

And plenty of people have time to relax and watch a 3 hour movie. They wouldn't make them otherwise.

The again I also find the idea of turning on a show or film just as background filler/noise to be quite weird as well but many people seem to do it so I guess I'm the weird one for either paying complete attention to a film otherwise I find it distracting

I have the AI summary stuff disabled but the regular Google infobox tells me he died in 1947 aged 34. Kinda amusing how the AI disagrees.

von Rosen and the Biafran Air Force is quite fascinating.

One would assume it's an occupational surname like Tanner.

That assumes father has a bakery. Supermarkets have driven many bakers, butchers, fishmongers, etc out of business over the past few decades.

I'm autistic which is also a disorder. Like ADHD it's a neurodevelopmental disorder because from a scientific and medical POV the brain developed abnormally compared to a neurotypical person's brain.

I guess your point is why does it require a label at all but science abhors a taxonomic vacuum, everything must be classified and if so I'd rather it be a disorder than a disease or illness.

Of course this opinion is just mine, I have no idea how other autistic or adhd people see this as I don't keep up with the neurodiverse community and what words are considered good or bad.

>People just didn't want that sit down, waited on experience any more, they wanted take out,

They actually wanted "take away", being British and all ;)

This is an incredibly weird hill to die on.

You can stop that by turning scene optimiser off.

>The Tories are a centre-left party.

You honestly believe this? If so: Jesus H. Christ!

In what bizzaro world would a far left party want to support the weird American fixation on relying on tipping to ensure a worker makes a decent living?

A actual far left policy would be a collectivised or cooperative workplaces that don't rely on tips to subsidies salaries.

I have a very distinct memory of going to a local independent PC shop with my dad to buy a Sound Blaster 16 for my PC back in 1994. It's odd because I have a really poor memory and don't actually remember much from my childhood,but my brain decided buying a sound card was worth holding on to. I don't remember my dad installing it or what games I first experienced that glorious SB16 sound with, just buying the thing. That said it was probably Doom. I still have that SB16 in its box somewhere.

I don't think they ever stopped using the name. The wiki article has Sound Blaster audio devices listed as being released up to 2021 and a quick search on Amazon shows they're still selling them brand new.

Guessing the kickstarter is for some retro thing judging by the image of their old talking parrot on that announcement page.

There's also an open source reimplementation of the original Gollop designed game which has extensive modding support. There's quite a few total conversion mods for it
