Agreed. They could just drop the "of" and make it more elegant and just as clear, imo.

A mobile game commercial with a ridiculous number of stars in it and great production value. How much money do these games make, or how cheap is it to get these stars? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

Crime, penetration, crime, penetration, crime, full penetration.

Doom 1 is the one that will always hold a place in my heart. The family PC back then only ran at 25MHz and Doom required 33 so my Dad would bring his work laptop home for me to play on. No headphones but it didn't matter, it was such an impactful experience for me as a kid and I'll always remember it fondly.

I got to meet Jon Romero a few years back too - they say you shouldn't meet your heroes but he is definitely an exception. Super nice dude and he blocked out a full hour on his calendar to just chat with me.

I think that's a great metaphor and great advice. When it dawned on me that I don't have to react it was actually quite relieving. It's never easy, but it doesn't have to be so hard.

The Irish government wants to pass a law that could see you or your loved ones jailed for possession of memes, cartoons or any content that could be deemed "hateful". in c/privacy@lemmy.ml

It's a well intentioned law to protect child sex abuse victims and the law needs updating to cover this scenario. I think it's more an example of the ineptitude of the Irish government than anything.

Thats a completely different scenario and frankly, you're being dishonest putting that forward as an example of freedom of expression being blocked.

Largest Study of its Kind Shows Outdated Password Practices are Widespread in c/privacy@lemmy.ml
[–] AutomaticJack@beehaw.org 6 points 1 year ago

I've come across a few sites that require one upper case, one number and one symbol (from a short list). Not at least one of each, no no, precisely one of each. One site even forced the password length to be exact -_-

Gabe Newell ordered to make in-person deposition for Valve v. Wolfire Games lawsuit in c/gaming@beehaw.org

It states everyone else will wear a mask too and he will remove his during his deposition. Like it or not, the courts require in-person attendance.
