The support article explains the rationale.

Unchecked by default would render the experiment useless.

1. PPA doesn’t make Mozilla money.
2. Firefox is developed by Mozilla Corp, which can’t take donations. Mozilla Foundation does do fundraising drives, but that’s mostly for their public advocacy (which, ironically, may be where the idea for PPA originated).
3. PPA has a checkbox in about:preferences.

I think you’re misunderstanding the comment you replied to.

The “do nothing congress” was a specific Congress back in the 40s — not a Congress that literally does nothing.

The do nothing Congress passed 906 bills. I believe the current congress has passed something like 68 three-quarters of the way through. That’s the comparison the commenter was making.

Dishonored is the closest Deus Ex successor in my mind. Harvey Smith in the level design DNA.

I believe Apple still has the power to block third party store apps based on signature. It’s a security thing to be able clean malware.

Looks like their subreddit’s been restricted too.

There’s some evidence even large tyrannosauroids had feathers — hypotheses range from partial feathering to feathers that would be shed during the maturation process.

There are a few things I consider when picking gender in a game.

• Is the character voice acted? Which voice actor do I think performs better?
• is the game third person? Which gender has the better look in armor/clothing in the game?
• Does the game feature romance? If so, then I almost always pick my own gender for a first playthrough at least.
• Which gender do I think the plot of the game will be more compelling for?

In tabletop D&D, gender tends to be the last thing I choose in a character (as opposed to video games that usually want it to be your first choice), and I basically just look at the made character including personality and backstory and realize that it’s more interesting or fun to play as one gender or the other.

To me, in both scenarios, it makes sense to get back the original number, because 0 equal parts and zero inches wide leaves the original pizza untouched

To illustrate why it’s not the original number, ask yourself this question — “How many times can you slice a pizza such that each slice is 0 inches wide?”

Yes, you’re leaving the pizza untouched with each slice, so you will never stop slicing. Or, you will say zero, because slices that are 0 inches wide are not slices at all. Or you’ll just say it can’t be done.

I mean, if you bundle them you just end up with “new cable”, so not great there either.

The Chagos Refugees are seeking repatriation of the .io domain name and fees. They likely don’t want people to stop using that domain unless they lose that case.

EA/Bioware had nothing to do with this remake. It was in development at Aspyr at first, followed by Saber Interactive — both owned by Embracer Group.

This was/is? a remake of KOTOR 1, not a KOTOR 3 which has never been announced.

It was given to another team, but obviously radio silence ever since.

Part of me is wondering if the success of Baldur’s Gate has impacted the approach to it at all, given it falls roughly in the same genre space.

Embracer’s financials probably impacting it more, though.

Seems sorta weird they’d be looking to offload them for financial reasons. Gearbox seems like it’d be one of their more profitable studios.

It’s using Nightdive’s proprietary Kex engine that they made for remastering old games, so sadly no. The original Quake 2 engine (and all of idTech’s engines up to 4) remain open source though.

You could just buy one of their products (Pocket, VPN, etc.) and not use it if you want.
