If you're on Linux, another good option is installing with Lutris when using the EA version as it works on any distro with minimal effort (at least last I did that, I switched to Steam ages ago). Using Lutris is much easier than setting Wine up yourself (and if you prefer to set it up yourself, you likely don't need a guide telling you how to install a game on Linux anyways).

Another option is to get the (now free) basegame on Steam and copy over your DLC from your EA installation, which is a legit way as even EA said you can use DLC from (back then) Origin in Steam installations.

Also, lemmy.world doesn't allow illegal content accourding to their rules (also allowing it could bring thém trouble anyways), so you might want to remove everything regarding pirating the game 😉.

So far I've only preordered 2 packs: Cats & Dogs and Horse Ranch. Everything else I bought later in sale. I even took the day off from work on release day. So yeah, I'm excited!

I see people saying it should've been a game pack or in one big pet expansion with Cats & Dogs, but I disagree and am happy it's not. They will flesh it out much more this way.

I also see people saying it should've been part of Cottage Living. Even harder disagree. I'm already sad the cows are objects following a set animation and not actual NPCs. If they put it all together that'll make it all even more simplefied.

Besides, it feels a bit non-understanding to the country-side to me? Normally The Sims community cares so much for inclusivity and representing cultures properly (but in a light-hearted Sims fitting way). But when it's argiculture it should all be smashed together? I'm not even that strongly opinionated about the whole inclusivity thing normally. But as someone who grew up in a country-side village, it just reminds me of each time city people don't know shit about the country-side life and act like country-side people are all just simple people shielded from the complexity their city lives have (while often having strong opinions on the stuff they don't know shit about). Cottage Living is in a pittoresque cottage-core style (which is already a very romanticized version of European farm life. But as a European from the country-side, I'm fine with that as everything in the Sims is altered to be more fun and less deep/serious and cottage-core is kinda that vibe towards real farm life), while Horse Ranch is based on American ranch-life. They have very little in common, outside of both being considered some kind of farm life. Smashing that together is no different than smashing Asian cultures together. It's just very double standards to me (which I guess annoys me more than the inclusivity or representation related points).

For me it's a tight race between KARD's Cake, Le Sserafim's Eve, Psyche & The Bluebeard's Wife, and Ive's Blue Blood.

Used OpenBoard, but switched to Florisboard because OpenBoard seems abandoned and the developer of FlorisBoard came back with an update of what he's working on. So far I'm not mad, the lack of autocorrect did make my typing much better. But as a dyslectic person I can't wait for proper autocorrect to be implemented.

Using FCITX5 for Asian languages.

Houndoom! With Bulbasaur as closed 2nd.

No, that right is to have info tracable to you personally removed, not to have every word you ever stated removed. As long as they anonymise it, they're good legally and can keep all other data online.

They also only have to send a data delete request to those they shared it with. Any data that got scraped or taken in other ways from them by a third party is technically not protected under that law, and would require a deletion request from you to them. And let now that be the technique used to federate.

Not to forget that the law only counts for services hosted in or aimed at European Union citizen. For example, an American Lemmy instance aimed specifically at American citizen isn't bound by it, even if you join as a European Union Citizen. If they market to the whole world or such, then they are bound by it. But then, with a US-based server it's already nearly impossible to be GDPR compliant as US-law is by default against GDPR. Hence big SNS's having EU subsidaries and servers (and still have huge disagreements, lawsuits and fines about how data gets shared between those and non-EU servers). Point being, with defederated systems, there are bound to be servers with your data that are outside the scope of the GDPR. The whole thing is more complex than "I live in the EU so all sites need to comply when it regards me".

If I try to stab you to death, but I fail, is it a crime?

Generally, as long as there is proof you attempted a crime, it's a crime. However, punishment is often lower than when you succeeded, if only because there are is damage done.

Back when I was in university, I worked IT support there on the side. One day, a teacher wanted to send a mail to one project group, but accidentally send it to the whole university. Every student, every employee. We didn't reach 13k people but it was a few thousand.

The thing is, in Outlook (which was used for school mail) the default reply button which is looking simply like arrow, was the reply-to-all one. Reply to sender was hidden a few clicks away. Needless to say, this caused similar issues. With the first people just politely trying to tell said teacher he might have maken a mistake, then people went in replying asking people to stop using reply-to-all, and it didn't take long for hell to break loose after that.

To make matters worse, a few smartasses ran some scripts putting the whole receiver list on all kinds of spam advertisement lists, causing a flood of spam send to everyone simultanously with all the reply-to-all-replies. And then people replied to those too. Guess they figured they wouldn't get caught with everyone receiving mails from everywhere. They did tho, and got seriously reprimanded.

The server automatically changed from instant delivery to synchronising every 5 min, but that still meant hundreds of mails every 5 min. Eventually we had to turn off the mail server to make it stop as trying to tell that many people to stop replying is impossible and it clearly wasn't going to die out on it's own.

It was a long day at work, and one I will likely never forget. But I feel like any bigger sized company that has excisted for some longer time has had their own version of this issue by now. I never understood why'd they make reply-to-all the default, instead of reply-to-sender with the to-all version as a smaller button next to it... At least they now added the warning in Outlook "your distribution group has X amount of people, are you sure" or something along those lines when sending to distribution groups of a few dozen or more...

Well there is always SailfishOS which you can run on Sony phones. It's a Linux OS but runs Android apps as well.

I doubt Google will stop offering the bootloader option tho. Because most of those custom roms are based on AOSP, and anything done with that that's open source, can be used again by Google too. I can't imagibe they don't keep an eye on the bigger projects like GrapheneOS. Free innovation, done by passionate people (who tend to make some if the best code).

At the same time, people who'd buy hardware just to flash it with a privacy-focussed OS aren't going to walk into the Google eco-system if they close it. They'll just go further away from it, while now they buy hardware and otherwise support or perhaps even contribute code (be it by development or by "testing" and adding bugs to github). So there is little to gain, only to loose.

Currently own a Sony Xperia 1 IV. Been buying Sony phones for about 10 years now. I can hardly break them even without a case, despite being super clumsy, and Sony actually does interesting innovating things that are useful instead of following trends blindly or relying on marketing.

I run a quite degoogled Android 13 atm. Next phone will be a Pixel however, because I wanna switch to GrapheneOS. Wanting to switch OS is also the only reason I even consider a different brand phone.

Ik vind "Nieuws" het leukste. Die bovenste met het steeltje eraan.
