The resolution of that story is presented as Picard, a representative of Starfleet, genuinely expressing a desire to find a more permanent and real solution for Moriarty. Unfortunately as established by Lower Decks (and indeed hinted at in the second Moriarty episode itself) Starfleet is actually really, really bad at follow-through.

A lot of people seem to be misunderstanding OP’s question and just suggesting places that offer free games.

OP is asking if there’s any not shady way to get a game that’s offered for free on Steam without DRM other than using the Steam client.

If the game is only available through Steam then unfortunately the answer is no. Depending on the nature of your objection to the Steam client there are some possible courses of action other than going somewhere sketchy though.

You could install it, download the game, copy it from the Steam install location, then uninstall Steam.

Alternatively keep a sandboxed Steam client installed in a VM to download the game which you extract from the VM.

Another option might be to just ask someone you know that does use Steam to download the game and send it to you.

I feel like there is detail missing here. I don’t understand how he rescued all six people without also getting himself back. Did he go back out to look for a seventh person?

Were you intentionally trying to provide an example of what OP was taking about?

Costco doesn’t give a shit about consumers. Costco cares about nurturing and communicating their brand, which is all about being pro-consumer.

You’re not strictly wrong, and I understand that corporations are not anyone’s friends, but the line between these two distinctions is vanishingly thin.

Yes.

O.P. used “Juggalo” as a derogatory term indicating a prejudiced and ill-informed person. The reply is in defence of ICP, and by extension Juggalos. Pointing out that they have made considerable strides in inclusivity.

Clearly making a thing that is already illegal double illegal will give the desired results.

If that were true they would’ve shut down long ago. Do you really think no one has tried to “put them on blast”?

I am unfamiliar with ICP’s content so can’t say exactly what is and isn’t in there, but horrifically, yes, “going with the flow” can very much include sexualizing minors depending on what decade you’re looking at.

For example, a now-infamous 1978 article in High Times.

The company I work for paid for Claude and has made it mandatory that we use it. It’s actually insane.

We also have “Code Rabbit” leaving LLM reviews on our PRs. It’s hilarious how often it completely misses the actual change and just waxes eloquent on the formatting changes that our linter enforces when we commit a change to a file that hasn’t been touched since prior to our current linter rules.

Even crazier, I’ve had a VP complain to me directly how much he hates reading LLM generated text that someone just spat out at him.

Yet here we are, still required to use it.

I cancelled my Netflix several years ago literally the very first time I got an error that too many people were watching or a screen wasn’t authorized or whatever the specific “you can’t share your account anymore” error was at the time.

The fact that account sharing was tacitly allowed was literally the only thing keeping the value proposition of having the account afloat.

Do you have any preferred method for submitting missing data? Peter Pan & Wendy (2023), The Shipping News (2001), and The Grand Seduction (2013) were all filmed in Newfoundland.

I would be absolutely floored if enough people were on board to even make a noticable difference for just one week. Boycotts in the gaming space have been hilariously ineffectual, historically.

At least most responses seem to be pushing back on OP’s implication that this is some kind of double standard.

Does no one else notice that both of these responses point out that how the recipient feels makes a difference? They’re addressing the unfortunately most common experience, but also including that how you feel or if you’re okay with it is important.

As for the “bias” being presented here, there’s nothing wrong with responding to unequal things unequally. Women are far more likely to experience unwanted touching and that’s just the sad reality.

One can be simply be cruel due to thoughtlessness. This is arguably still a reason, but there’s no intent to do something harmful.

I don’t think this excuses it, but there’s also not really anything to “reverse engineer” in the thoughts behind it.

also pretty wierd that he’s so about open source, and yet doesn’t consider linux a “social warrior” project

isn’t it about giving to society? if not, what is linux about?

He literally speaks to this point in his comment. He states that the goal of the Linux kernel project is to develop the Linux kernel, period. The social benefits from it being an open source project is a side effect. Just because it’s widely viewed as a “social good” doesn’t make it automatically a champion of every social issue that happens to show up in the course of its development.

AI being allowed is one thing. If a community wants to allow it then that’s their business, I don’t care.

AI being unlabeled is quite another and misleading at best. Again, a community may choose to not have this requirement, but that doesn’t change the fact that it’s misleading.

There is absolutely nothing in the article to indicate the family’s political leanings or how they voted.

So is Ori and the Blind Forest.
