My mom is in her late 70s, still working and flying around for gigs, and she always has her Switch and Breath of the Wild or TOKT with her on flights.

Gaming transcends any age.

FabFilter Pro-C 2 is my go-to.

PG&E is very blatantly trying to crush EV adoption is California. They're even advertising their EV plan by comparing their pricing to buying gas at the pump.

$0.65/kWh during peak is probably the highest power cost in the whole US, even including Hawaii.

The pictures of her with Mango Musalini make it look like they're sharing more than just a political viewpoint.

I doubt he really cared about the gas or EV debate, it was just an issue he could use as leverage to get his former company another fat government contract.

Also please remember that anything good Dejoy does is just the minimum required to keep him off the Biden administration's shit list so that he can keep securing contracts for XPO - the private shipping carrier he still has financial ties with.

No, he's made forced concessions to the Biden administration, but it's only to placate them enough to keep his position, and double dip with contracts for XPO (the business he used to own and still has financial ties with).

Lemmy.world becoming the default Lemmy instance, and it growing to outsize all other instances is a danger: it makes the Fediverse centralized, easy to take down and easy to take over.

The TL:DW is Mr. Beast is a master of using gambling psychology to capture kids' attention, to then sell them horribly unhealthy foods. His contests and giveaways are largely fake and/or are rigged to favor other creators, friends and family. He constantly fails to deliver promised prizes, and he runs live streams that are essentially child gambling masquerading as sweepstakes. He violates sweepstakes laws all the time but seems to get away with it by taking down old streams, and DMCAs any clips that get uploaded by others. He has also promoted a scheme to get his fans to act as child labor and stock/organize his products at Walmart.

Right now, Sony has yet to update the Steam listing to remove the PSN account requirement or the region lock out. Don't update your reviews to positive yet. Talk is cheap and all Sony has actually done it put out a statement to appease fans and stop the damage.

An hour after this announcement was made, a tiny update was pushed via GamGuard to steam players and now there's a .DLL file that's being flagged by antivirus as a malware. My AV detects and cleans the file, making the game completely broken. There a Steam discussion about this issue and, surprise surprise, the file in question is used by GameGuard.

I'm sure it has nothing to do with Sony's recent announcement of their patent for biometric harassment detection.

The game racked up over 10k negative reviews in 90 minutes yesterday. People are pissed. There's also the issue of PSN only being available in a about a third of all countries.

I just uninstalled the game over this and I have 350+ hours.
