This is one of those things that if a Republican state sues the feds for a rule, you know it was a good rule.

The challengers said the rule will make oil and gas development more expensive, and ultimately reduce production. That will mean the loss of tens of millions of dollars in royalties and taxes paid to the states that currently fund schools, roads and local governments, among other harms, they said.

Oh nooooes, the crumbs of oil company profits we’ll be missing out on!!!

Yeah, it could be the people that launch every game in their library once a day for cards or something.

I genuinely hope we are not headed toward significant layoffs over there as a result of this game.

Warner Bros. having the artists take the L for management’s poor decisions? They should be safe, that’s totally not gonna happen /s

200-300 active players seems to be gamers’ collective signal of, “fuck you for putting in stupid microtransaction live-service grindfests, you removed what makes games worth playing, so we ain’t playin’ them”. Payday 3 is around the same level.

“The push towards justification for hooking up new homes and new buildings to gas by saying we’re going to add environmentally friendly hydrogen is a big greenwashing exercise,” said Lem.

Hydrogen has promise in certain applications but this is the ultimate goal for fossil fuel companies: using “Hydrogen” to wave away concerns on using other fuels.

I am a long time AoE player, and I know Microsoft has paid close attention to game balance and feedback from the community. Still, as a mobile game, I can’t say I’m that surprised. I am disappointed that they didn’t put the same level of care in making AoE2 DE possible to play on console with a controller, that they could have done with the mobile game.

Microsoft has done scummy stuff in their various product lines 25 years ago, 15 years ago, 5 years ago, now, it’s all a similar story. Except where I have to to make money (at work), I’m trying to move my personal life away from Microsoft as possible.

Also you have been cursed by the ants, soon you will hear the band Alien Ant Farm everywhere you go /s

Not even close (baby) to the first time: videogamedunkey got stiffed by Microsoft for putting out a review they didn’t like some 10-ish years ago.

Microsoft offered to pay if he made four videos for Xbox Live’s Summer of Arcade. Shortly after Gastrow uploaded the first video, in which he lambasted the game he was playing, Microsoft took down the video and canceled the deal. [Wikipedia] [Source Video]

Not having or needing a car is one major reason I feel I have a lot of financial freedom at the moment.

Been many years since I saw this. Thanks for bringing it back.

Mother nature is planning to switch off Dubai it seems.

I learned a new word today: ossify (to turn into bone, to become hardened and opposed to changes).

Wow. This article really speaks to why I use Lemmy, I promote Fediverse for all its benefits and despite its faults, and am trying to separate myself to a degree from the big players on the internet.

Why don’t the delegates just have a Video Chat at 7PM Alaska on August 1st to certify it?

Good luck YouTube

The official YouTube app will provide one of the better experiences…

Ha ha ha ha… the author must be dreaming or hasn’t tried many other apps. NewPipe lets you run videos at custom speed, and optionally pitch-shift videos. And you can save videos to watch on any app capable of playing video files stored on disk.

That failure may have violated ethics rules, legal experts say.

The real news story is that ethics could have any weight in the bizarre world of Trump.

He’s right, but I don’t like the framing of TV companies are going to spy on you anyway so we’re the best option since you get a free TV. I would like the option to not be spied on. In fact I’m choosing that by not having a TV to begin with.

Yes, per passenger there are more emissions taking the Amtrak train than flying. There are many parts of the equation where US and Canada rail are inefficient that any improvement in service would improve the numbers to quickly take over as the greener way.

The biggest is owing to the amount of travellers. Airlines try to cram people on planes, and they are known to overbook to get as many seats filled. Cross country train travel is generally less booked outside of popular weekends and holidays. Commuter trains have a reliable number of passengers coming in and out of the city making it very efficient.

The train engine itself is capable of pulling at least 2 or 3 times as many passenger cars without a noticeable impact to the travel time. If these intercity routes were more popular and ran more often with matched demand then it would be more efficient than planes. It’s just that this power is wasted. Freight companies like to make money which is why their trains are excessively long and they move ton-miles essentially as efficiently as they can because of that.

The windy rights of ways owned by freight railroads and the fact that Amtrak/VIA can’t have their way ever because of their bullying means we’re stuck playing by their schedules. That is the case until the US or Canadian gov grows a spine again and buys one of the class 1s. A government owned freight company can better coordinate to provide the important infrastructure upgrades that would make the journey even better, faster and environmentally friendly.

Alright my 93 unread notifications will be helpful for something!

I’ve received a lot of SpotPass notifications over the years but I think I either deleted/dismissed some of them or they were automatically. Do you know if the record with the desired info is still kept in the database?

Yeah glad he is doing that. We need some coordinationed action against the bricking of games when online servers shut down.

Thank you for bringing low-budget movie prop guy to Lemmy! Love the whole series of things.
