The concern for most people is not the range of a gas tank. It’s about the fact that they’ll have to fill the tank more often, which means paying more often to travel the same distance, which rather undermines the claim of lowering the cost.
The price per mile matters more than the price per gallon.
And then there’s the additional cost of repairs when the ethanol prematurely dissolves your car’s seals and hoses.
Well, you could do this yourself too…
No, but you and someone else could collaborate to do something like it, if both of you had sufficient skill in this area.
And, importantly, it would require a great deal more time and effort.
The current laws are tuned for cost, benefit, difficulty, and volume that are made outdated by LLMs.
It seems like at worst it would be an os reinstall
It depends. Some malware would not be removed by an OS reinstall.
A few examples are mentioned here:
And it’s not just web development.
This mindset has been spreading for… probably decades. Nowadays, it is even pushed by certain popular programming languages, by including a toolchain that makes it as easy as possible to pull in third-party dependencies while offering a standard library so minimal that a developer is strongly encouraged to rely on said dependencies.
This inevitably leads to a world where software supply chain attacks have massive reach and high chances of success. And threat actors take advantage of it, of course.
From the article:
The lawsuit is backed by European consumer movement “Stop Killing Games” (SKG), which was launched in response to “The Crew” controversy.
Half-Life is it’s own game,
Yes, as is Counter-Strike.
modified Quake’s engine.
Yes, mod is short for modification.
The distinction you’re drawing seems pretty arbitrary to me. Early mods didn’t have the luxury of engine hooks and data separation designed for the purpose of third-party modding. They were more closely tied to the original game’s internals, and they were harder to make, but they were still mods. Even today, it’s not uncommon for mods to add features to or change behavior in an engine, via loaders or DLLs.
I suppose it’s a matter of one’s perspective.
Counter-Strike was a Half-Life mod.
And Half-Life was essentially a Quake mod. (More extensive than most mods, since the developers were able to modify the Quake source code, but a mod nevertheless.)
Are you getting user tags from a third-party Lemmy app? I don’t see that feature in the web interface.
Note that “rather undermines” does not mean “completely negates”. In any case…
Be sure to let everyone know when this new mix sells for 60% less than the current mix.
As far as I can tell, it’s closer to 25 years. Be sure to let everyone with an older car know when you plan to buy them an upgrade.
Lots of assumption and rudeness in your comment. Please learn to be better. Goodbye.
