What do you mean brother? The whole point of this paper is that the youth of age 18-24 in 2024 are not behaving like the youth of age 18-24 in 2009 up to 2018.

Unfortunately this analysis is a year over year comparison over the same age groups, not an age over age comparison in the same year. So your claim would not apply in this case.

Sure, if they were designed that way, I would not call them defects either.

Just because all defect stock are routed to the US inventory, doesn't mean that US inventory is made up of all defect stock.

but nowhere in North America.

Every single time 😭

In both those cases you still have to pay one thousand dollars in rent every month to the actual property owner, so I don't know if I would call that home ownership except only in the most generous sense.

Proton/wine makes no security assurances, so it will be able to do anything that any other program you run is able to do. If a trojan or rat recognizes that it is running under wine, it can bring in some native Linux malware as well and it will execute just fine. https://forum.winehq.org/viewtopic.php?t=34573

If something happens I'll make a switch.

To what?

Yes, I understand. I am claiming that colossal weapon users simply have less gaps to exploit and aren't provided with enough advantages to compensate for the lack of attack opportunities for most bosses. And after playing the other souls games, this lack of opportunity is made even more readily apparent in comparison.

My time with bloodborne (saw cleaver) and sekiro (there is only one playstyle) gave me a taste of From Software's design when they decide to treat your playstyle as a first class citizen, and I had a wonderful time. I just didn't get that same feeling at any point in Elden Ring is all.

Yeah, after thinking it through, I can see where my confusion came from. Elden Ring might be significantly easier or significantly harder than the other Souls games depending on how you played the other Souls games.

I guess I wish that they had provided more scaling variety within the various build types instead of across them.

It's honestly one of the easiest From games, once you engage with the particulars.

I see this being said from time to time and I thought it was just me not "Gitting Gud", so after being filtered by Captain Niall even with my mimic summon, I went through and cleared Demon's Souls, Dark Souls 1 and 3, Bloodborne, and Sekiro all for the first time, and they were a fucking breeze compared to Elden Ring. I used a strength scaled zweihander in the Demon/Souls games to have the closest comparison possible (and also because I think it looks good). I guess it depends on which weapons you enjoy using, but the fact that there's such a big skill discrepancy between entire weapon categories is in itself a pretty big stain on Elden Ring's claim to be an RPG.

edit: I shouldn't say they were all a breeze. Bloodborne and Sekiro were difficult for sure. Not even close to comparable to my experience with Elden Ring though.

while also being unwilling to match that effort to create the textbook yourself.

But the textbook was developed jointly, precisely through the cooperative labor between the two groups, no? It would not have been possible without the native speakers willing to share this information in the first place, no?

From Software aren't generally shitty like that.

Dark Souls 1 and 2 had notoriously horrible PC ports, and Elden Ring was one of the only games that Valve stepped in to fix themselves through Proton due to its horrible stuttering. Regardless of their intentions, their familiarity with PC hardware is still definitely a "work in progress".

AFAIK there is no need to re-encode, since Youtube videos are stored and served in chunks anyways. The change is that they are now slipping in the ad chunks as if they were a part of the normal video chunk stream.

Here's an image viewer example with 0 exposed HTML elements (all UI rendered through a single canvas) and 0 human readable code (all client side code compiled to webassembly bytecode). Trying to block unwanted content in this kind of site would be closer to cracking a video game or patching an android app.

As long as you're very thorough about removing any linked connection from your expired e-mail, you should be OK. That includes all accounts that you registered using this e-mail, as well as all e-mail contacts that you've built up using that account.

Note that if you let your domain lapse and someone else registers it afterwards, that person will also gain control over your e-mail address (and likely all accounts associated with it, if they are not secured with an additional factor of authentication / recovery).

Subaru's full time system definitely is more predictable and confident feeling in most situations for sure. You'd have to go pretty high up in the jeep hierarchy to get more practical capability than your regular base model Subaru.

Bad reading of the author’s intent and you ignore the immediately preceding sentence which provides context for your cherry picked quote

It is the subtitle in its entirety, as the author of the article intended. That sentence didn't grow legs and and walk all the way up to the top of the article by itself.

slowly open it up to the point where you can actually install regular linux apps on it

The linux running Chrome OS is completely separated, by design, from the virtual machine that runs linux apps under Chrome OS.
