I mean it didn’t take a genius to figure it out.

Guiltier than a Russian standing next to a pot of polonium tea.

Amusing as that is, I’m pretty sure it’s happened in every war since time began, and will continue to happen until we’re back at sticks and stones.

Keeping untrusted clients in their own ecosystem is an interesting idea, and would let people access the game without affecting anyone in the “trusted” chain, but you will all be lumped in with the obvious cheaters with blatant speed/flying/aiming bots.

If you were playing without cheats on Linux, I’d imagine you’d stop soon after.

The best idea would be to let people run their own servers and then allow or IP ban cheaters themselves, but I guess with everything needing to make money from skins and paints or whatever the fuck Apex sells, that’s out of the question and has been since about the Xbox 360 era.

Yeah, they don’t ban immediately. They collate a huge amount of data and then do it in waves.

That way cheaters know what software got them banned, but not the exact behaviour that gave it away.

Careful what you wish for because the next step after killing physical is cloud gaming only.

Not people on Linux.

Sanction them.

No.

It’s likely the site itself is now a load of dirt mounds in the vague shapes of buildings and then covered with trees.

I don’t think cigarettes being out of view lead to their decrease, nor all the warnings or pictures of diseases. It’s more that they cost about £15 a pack. Honestly feels like weed has already overtaken cigarettes.

I know they mean well, and disposables are spectacularly wasteful, but I can also see the appeal of a cheap, no maintenance, no mess, no faff vape.

And from a purely selfish point of view, I’d rather smell Fruit Salad smelling vapes everywhere than cigarettes or more bloody weed.

Yeah, good luck with that. Nobody is regulating any of it so the rules might as well be advisory only.

Seemingly every dodgy corner shop sells high strength disposable vapes already, so I don’t know why they’d stop because of this…

Set stringent standards.

Set maximum bill rises.

Renationalise them without compensation if they fail to oblige.

There is no point in them even being privatised. I can’t choose my water provider like I can with internet, electricity, gas, etc. It serves no benefit to us.

I don’t think Britain ever got out of being poor, and that at least had something to do with Brexit happening. Sure, there’s London with it’s finance people doing things that make money without actually needing to do any work, and other big cities do OK, but the rest of us scrape by. Former mining towns, former manufacturing towns… None of these places came back to life. They’re not anything now. Just former something towns. And by and large, they voted for Brexit to happen. It wasn’t a particularly sensible decision, but there you are. More of a protest vote that got out of hand.

That said, I think Portugal is still poorer by a long way. I lost count of the number of times I clicked Brazil while playing Geoguessr and it turned out it was Porto or something. It’s an East Europe country that happens to be in the west.

I find it helps if you just call them “invaders”.

I think you could only call yourself a settler if you went somewhere uninhabitable and made it livable. Antarctica maybe. I don’t think “arable farmland right next door with brown people living on it” counts for much.

This is what happens when everyone follows the same Hitman walkthrough.

Doubt it. The US has an even bigger hard on for Iran than Israel does.

Just stick .ml with hexbear and grad on your blocklist and move on.

Good joke. Everybody laugh. Roll on snare drum. Curtains.

“WTF? These aren’t civilians!”

I use an Nvidia shield pro.

Certainly handles Jellyfin and Moonlight (for gaming, I could never get Steam Link working smoothly).

I assume there’s a YouTube client you can drop on it but I don’t use YouTube for much because I can’t stand YouTubers.
