A drone is an unmanned vehicle, e.g. SpaceX drone boats serving as mobile landing pads, Ukrainian drone boats carrying explosives, drone research submarines, ground drones for mine defusal, etc.
This is definitely not a drone. It’s a quadcopter.
Apparently I was the only one to read the title that way, but I thought your brothers died (late) in their 40s.
Where I worked QA did nothing else but programming. They were writing automated tests for anything we worked on.
I imagine if such a candidate won, the would forfeit their win by not attending the inauguration and not getting sworn in.
And how does that handle a candidate who is in prison, and how is it different?
Yeah, that’s what I said.
That’s 100 free miles a week. Sure, most people will need to charge it anyway, but that’s still 100 free miles a week.
But I don’t think it’s a good idea. It would be more efficient to just put the same solar panels in your roof, where they don’t contribute to the car’s weight, don’t force your to park in sunlight instead of indoor parking or garage, and whose output can be used for charging the car OR for anything else as needed.
No, not nice at all. I’m answering your question on why he doesn’t ban Israeli contributors, not deliberating on the niceness of anyone in particular.
He was asked what they are working on now that they released Windows 10. He said they are still working on Windows 10 as it’s the last (latest) release of Windows and still being developed. Yes he could have worded it better.
I completely agree he was unprofessional about it and should have handled it better. It was his choice in how he communicated it, and I think he failed on that point. Having said that, it was not his choice to do it, and I’m sure he will undue it when it’s legally possible. Hopefully using better judgement on his choice of words then.
And even that engineer only said “last” to mean “latest”, which is obvious from context, but why let that get in the way of clickbaity articles.
Because he’s not making any political, moral, or personal decisions, and only follows the law he is forced to.
When the law forces him to sanction Israel, he will do so, and when the law stops forcing him to sanction Russia, he will stop doing so.
Usually uprooting your life and moving to another country implies a job change. At least that’s how I read the comment.
Yeah, when I created my Lemmy account I had to choose an instance before knowing anything about Lemmy yet. And .ml seemed like the default one to choose, given https://join-lemmy.org/ told me it is ran by the devs.
Oh well.
I sometimes find a small seed in seedless watermelons.
Yeah, my SteamVR library is why I keep a Windows virtual machine around.
What makes you think it isn’t an option? Most people probably aren’t using it though, because there is no reason to predownload terabytes of world data when you aren’t going to come near 95% of it.
I understood it perfectly well, and wanted to clarify that it is not the concept of paying for mods that is problematic, but implementations like Steam did.
Because just saying “the paid mods shit” gives people a wrong idea that giving creators money is a bad thing, when that’s not the problematic part.
Why you took my “the store shouldn’t get a cut” comment and thought I support stores getting a cut, I have no clue.
You do know that this whole comment chain was started by Valve trying to push paid mods with the help of Bethesda right?
Yes, I started the conversion by saying that’s bad and should be called out, why?
“kid down the street” really? Are you creating the image of a fictional modder to attract pity?
No, I’m going with your story of being a kid with no money in a third world country, because it was my childhood too. I solved that problem by spending my free time modding a free to play game – I was that kid down the street. Never got paid though. I would love if others did.
So lets see, 30% goes to Steam, 45% goes to Bethesda and whats left to the “modder who actually needs the money” is… 25% yep
Yep, total bullshit. Why are you bringing it up though? We are in agreement here.
Are you okay with paying foreign corporations to exploit the work of the “kid down the street”, keeping the vast majority of the profit?
No, why? As I said in my first comment, they shouldn’t get a cut. I’m not sure why are you are bringing these arguments to me, as if I ever disagreed.
Before you start typing ‘but other companies wouldn’t charge so much from the modder!’,
Why would I ever type that, when I only support paid mods where all of the money goes to the modder without middlemen stealing a share?
If you WANT to pay for mods I really need to ask, what is stopping you? If you actually care about the modders getting money, many of them have ko-fi/patreon platforms where they actually keep most of the money you give them
Nothing, not long ago I bought a Kerbal Space Program mod for volumetric clouds from a guy called Blackrack. It’s a paid mod only available by paying him on Patreon. It looks amazing and I think it’s great he gets money for it. Which is why I support paid mods and don’t like when people are against them.
There is nothing stopping you from paying for mods, now that Im an adult with a job I do pay for them often.
Not sure why are you against them then. Based on your comments I think you are not against paid mods, you are against companies like Steam or Bethesda taking a cut. Which is exactly my position too, so I’m not sure what are you actually disagreeing with me about.
None, because it’s not a real department, and has as much legal meaning as any made up department you and me can think of. But if course if Trump acts as if it’s real and listens to it’s opinions (which have the same legal weight as any private person’s opinions), then it doesn’t matter it’s not real.
