Titan Quest is an older aRPG with mythological god vibes. Same folks who did grim dawn.

A sequel is also in the works.

Expected yield for the Swiss is apparently 2% of the total consumption just with their tracks alone.

2% of an entire nations consumption is still a fuck ton of power. Start adding other "2%" projects together and you'll hit 100% before you know it.

Can you link the thread? Reddit search is still terrible.

They could do it by not uploading any of the data, or if they do, uploading it encrypted with the only key being on the user's device or a passcode.

Both are well established ways to secure data, but the company itself would not be able to interact with the data at all past storing it, so any features/revenue there would end.

"Free and open source software." It's an ethos that says that code should be free and open for people to use and improve as they see fit. The core of it is that if you modify any software that is FOSS, your software must also be FOSS. So overtime the software and what its used for improve, change, widen. Lucky for us, the movement has been ongoing for 50+ years, so it's a mature ethos whose benefits are everywhere. Most of the internet runs on FOSS. Lemmy itself is FOSS.

It doesn't necessarily mean an app is more private, but it does mean you can generally self host, as the commentor said. There isn't a profit motive with most FOSS, at least not at its core, so there is little desire to data harvest generally. There is also a heavy overlap between FOSS advocates and privacy advocates, so they tend to be more privacy conscious via local data storage or encryption.

Nah, it clearly appeals to a subset of voters in some democracies, and those voters apparently turn out.

I have no idea what the article says, because it's paywalled. All I can read is that someone with a group of Israeli soccer fans was attacked.

This is not surprising, as Jewish soccer fans were chanted for the death of Arabs and violently ripped down other peoples property, which you called "being offensive."

Its a threat to woman that if they don't get married young and have babies, the government will hurt them.

That it. Do what we say or else. The standard conservative line with women.

With trumps win, expect more of this. Being a complete piece of shit clearly works, so this will only escalate. Getting attention, even by being a vile misogynist, is a winning move now.

Ripping a Palestinian flag down while shouting to kill all Arabs isn't someone "being offensive," it's doing violence. It's no surprise that violence was met with more.

Yeah, that's the easy answer in a car, and you get that maybe half the time.

Those are the correct signals in the US, but most drivers don't know them.

Pointing with the arm nearest to the turn is very clear.
