is less about character and more about factors like social awkwardness, lack of friends, poor hygiene, unfortunate genetics, spending too much time online or gaming, etc
The struggle to form relationships comes from issues like what you mentioned here, which are mostly things that are a part of your character. The incel logic is circular.
It’s more than just the header information. The graphics and audio checksum can give away details of what your device is, even if those details don’t match what header information you are sending. That mismatch is itself information they can use.
What people in this thread are missing or ignoring:
All combinations have happened. Peaceful student-run protests with overreactive police. Violent non-student protests with police doing their job to control things. And everything in between.
It does happen today though. The price for things on Amazon is unique to you and constantly changes.
To add to this.
Here’s a website to help you check your own trackability:

It can also help give you advice on how to improve your privacy.
Things that help: (tldr use adblockers but otherwise it’s really about blending into the crowd)
Hard to track: uses Firefox with uBlock origin. Maybe using a popular VPN. Uses an iPhone or a popular model of Android like the Pixel (although Google owning Android/Pixel might mean they get your data anyway…)
Actually very easy to track: uses a niche Chromium-based browser you got from GitHub with niche GitHub project as blockers and a little/known VPN. Uses a niche brand of smartphone with a niche non-Android based OS on it.
Sure but also I literally have a whole box of cables, and if/when I actually need a new cable I can buy the Amazon Basics $5 cable.
Alternatively, if you really care about having the Brand Name Cable, consider this a $20 price hike.
Seriously this is such a petty issue there are much bigger things to complain about.
I’ll replace my iPhone when it breaks. That’s what I did last time 4 years ago
At least be accurate.
The “Pro” model iPhone has a lot of the features you are calling out the non-pro one for not having. Also no non-proprietary lossless audio streaming would be more accurate.
That’s probably rather difficult because these websites are essentially computer programs that are rendering their content live. It’s like if you got an phone app to detect when another phone app is viewing something that looks like a book or document, and to then automatically make a paginated PDF of that app…
Meanwhile tv manufacturers are working on AI to sneak in more advertising.
Are there aspects of the game that still offer value or enjoyment
I like the core D2 experience as much as I always have. The gunplay is great, the abilities and build crafting is great, the vibes and graphics and soundtrack are excellent.
The current season is kinda eh but they always put the weakest season they have lined up first because it launches at the same time as the campaign. The current season is more substantial than previous first seasons though, which is good since they are doing 3 seasons per year instead of 4 this time.
The main plot line is finished but there are still sub-plots that need to be resolved. Xivu is not fully defeated. We need to come to a more long-term arrangement with Savathun. (The Xivu-Savathun plot is going to be touched on later this year). Some sort of Vex alliance is long overdue. With the bigger threats out of the way, it would be neat to help the Eliksni and Cabal retake their home planets. Clovis could be a full villain any time now. Plus they are trying to sow the seeds for the new plots down the line with their “traveler/witness demise led to magic seeds being shot into space”. Plus they should answer more details about the fallout after the events of TFS.
All that being said, the main reason I’m still playing is simply because I bought the campaign + season pass combo just like I did for the past 5 years, and I intend to play the content I paid for. However there is a good chance I won’t pay for next year’s pass. There is a lot of potential left in the Destiny IP but the current state of Bungie will have to prove they can still tap into it.
It’s also worth mentioning that I’ve definitely been playing less of it lately than I used to.
Almost everything about it needs to be optional because sometimes USB is used to charge some cheap battery powered thing and sometimes it’s used to make a backup of a harddrive and sometimes it’s charging my laptop with enough power for it to be rendering video but still have a net charge increase to the battery while also providing Ethernet, video output, and keyboard/mouse input over the same one port.
EDIT to make it more clear why the variability of USB standards is what it is, compare a modern laptop to one from 10 years ago.
The older laptop has:
The newer laptop has:
The perhiperals, however, don’t support all of the features. They only support the features they actually use. As long as the laptop supports all of the optional features, you don’t need to worry about it.
The is especially helpful for less technical users who may not want to know what the difference between HDMI and DisplayPort is. With a fully USBC based laptop and USBC perhipals you can just plug it in and it will work.
Of course this is all dependent on the laptop implementing all of the extra features, which is still only really true of more expensive laptops.
Metroid Prime 2: Echoes. I recently bought a GameCube and have been collecting the games I wanted but never had as a kid.
I wanna see a modern Zombie movie with how people would actually react to news of a zombie outbreak given how people behaved during the pandemic
Xubuntu is more than fine. Tbh it doesn’t hugely matter which distro you use for this type of thing
Yeah the attitude of negativity against this is basically “you aren’t really into my hobby until you’ve spent twice as much money by starting with the crappy equipment and upgrading when you realize its crap”.
It’s actually not really wrong. There are many VR games you can get away with low specs for.
Yes when you suggested a 3070 it just took that and rolled with it.
It’s basically advanced autocomplete, so when you suggest a 3070 it thinks the best answer should probably use a 3070. It’s not good at knowing when to say “no”.
Interesting it did know to come up with a newer AMD card to match the 3070, as well as increasing the other specs to more modern values.
I think most immigrants I know have an accent when they speak my language, even if they have good grammar and vocabulary, and have been living here a long time.
Ways open source projects get paid for:
Take a high-quality AI image, add some noise, blur, and compress it a few times.
Or, even better, print it and take a picture of the print out, making sure your photo of the photo is blurry enough to hide the details that would give it away.
