9. Get off my lawn.

It’s not the same. Google is a US company.

It makes sense that it would use the GNIS, a system of the USGS, to put names on places.

It hasn’t changed here yet, but I figure when it does, Google will reflect the change.

I’m not sure you’re correct.

The law only mandated that ByteDance remove TikTok from app stores in the U.S. if it failed to meet the sale deadline. Company executives made the decision to shutdown the app entirely.

Apple and Google removed it from their app stores in accordance with the law, and it is still removed from those app stores.

Quite possible that TikTok just went dark to make an infrastructure change to implement new code - while they display a message praising Trump.

To force chaos, and so they can show the “Trump fixed this” message

Very different. This means default ignore all errors and continue to the next line. You’d have to explicitly catch every line in most(all?) other languages.

I can understand your point until you get to the “there is no other platform like TikTok”. You lose me there.

Hopefully this little outage scare helps you to diversify!

That would require digital age competence. We don’t elect that, we like old rich dudes.

There’s no process to go through again. The law is in place now. It didn’t Target TikTok specifically by name. It’s based on foreign company ownership and number of US users. I don’t know the specifics though

Absolutely ageed. Apple isn’t leaning into ALVR and Steam VR support at all (understandably, given the ties to Mac).

Will be interesting to see where it goes. I wish someone could hack a corded TCP/IP solution. WiFi makes the ALVR finicky.

I agree with this simple yet unpopular opinion. I don’t need feelings and thought police.

Yeah that’s me. Back when I used Facebook you could say whatever the hell you wanted, and I thought and still think that’s how it should be.

For some reason this is now an unpopular opinion? What do I care if someone posts mean things? That’s life, people say mean shit all the time. We trying to stop that??

It does, through steamvr with a pc

I bought it. Only because I have the disposable income and could make it a business expense. That said, I use it as a gaming headset 95% of the time. It has an ALVR app so you can do Steam VR. I play mainly just flight simulator.

It’s good for working and watching entertainment on a plane also tho.

Depends on which team you ask.

Could it also be that the opinions you’ve mentioned, the “right”, are the majority, and they had been disproportionally silenced in favor of giving megaphones to the minority?

I could go both ways on this and it’s very hard to see, but I’m not in favor of disproportionally silencing or promoting any agenda or voice

80’s kid here…

We cannot go back to anonymous users calling each other names. People went way too far down the “my feelings are hurt and you’re going to jail” path. There’s no going back to “if you don’t like it go somewhere else” like it used to be.

Use something that has solid iPhone support. Bitwarden has integration with iPhone to replace the built in password manager. That’s what I do. It

Then on desktop, I use the bitwarden plugin for safari, Firefox, and chrome.

It even works for passkeys and syncs them between devices. Even between iPhone and desktop. It intercepts the iPhone passkey manager.

Then it even works for her apps on iPhone.

Seriously, it’s a very seamless, elegant solution.

They did indeed say that was often their priority. Is for me too. And you’re right, it has a decent story for sure, and replay value for that matter given how easily you can change the story radically.

Not open world at all. As a fan of all the games OP mentioned, I give Baldur’s Gate 3 a pretty low score due to its linear physical world.

Same journey here.
