What do you mean by “the user’s DNS” exactly??

You are right that Fallout 4 was better, but not by much imo. I just remember the huge disappointment I felt with Skyrim and the Fallout games, being a huge fan of Fallout 1/2, and shooters in general. Everything just felt slow and wonky.

It just never felt like a priority, which is totally fine and lots of people praise their products like they’re the pinnacle of video games, the engine just ruins it for me.

I’m actually surprised to not be downvoted to hell. If you air this opinion in front of casual gamers, like in /r/gaming, they go full Bethesda-fanboy-mode.

If you like Bethesda games for their worlds, it’s probably gonna be great. To me, the gameplay in their engine just feels really bad.

The movement, FOV, aiming, shooting, etc. just feels like they spent a few hours on it for an alpha for Morrowind and it hasn’t changed one bit since.

When you’re used to well made FPS engines, the gameplay of Skyrim and Fallout games just feels super bad, like tech demo-level bad.

I hope they finally made some changes, but they didn’t for Oblivion, Fallout 3, Fallout NV, or Fallout 4, so my hope is running out.

It should simply be considered false advertisement.

You can probably legally require your money back, saying it looks nothing like the photos, but that’s not enough imo

He probably means whitelisting domains when posting already uploaded images, clearly not having read the post

I work primarily in tmux and even in an IT department, people regularly say something along the lines of “woah are you hacking?”

I hear it a lot from almost all my engineer friends, so I guess it just depends on your field.

Coming from C-like syntax, Python looks horrible to me. PHP has come a long way with 7 and 8.

I work in IT for a major telecom provider in Scandinavia, and almost everyone takes 3 weeks summer vacation, mostly at the same time.

Management recommends taking as much as possible over the summer, as we have a 5-6 week “slow period” when people’s 3 weeks don’t align.

Other than that, it’s common to just take the rest during other school holidays.

We get 6 weeks by default and earn our way up to 7 weeks after 5 years.

I think 5-7 weeks vacation is normal in most of western European countries.

Only played the first one which was pretty good. It’s super big on character customization as it has a million race/class combinations. A bit more extreme than the rest

DOS 1 and 2 were almost on par with BG3 imo.

Pillars of Eternity was also really good.

In my understanding, the metrics tracked by just having Google Play services are pretty minimal.

It’s more like an API between your phone and apps you install through it, and the permission system for apps has improved immensely over the past 5-10 years. As I see it, it’s more like a firewall.

If you don’t want Google to know which apps you use and how much, you can go full custom, but that’s a bit too much tinfoil for me.

The tracking is mostly from web browsing. If you use Google Chrome, of course you can expect to be tracked based on browser history, cookies, etc., like most other browsers.

If I wanna do something in private, obviously I won’t use Chrome or a builtin browser.

There are lots of privacy oriented Android flavors out there. Most of them won’t come with Google Play services installed. Any of them will be able to run any apps you need.

In my opinion, Google isn’t bad at all when it comes to tracking and bloatware. They’re much like Apple. It’s the branded phones like Samsung that are absolutely horrible.

Anyway, check out the LineageOS Wiki: https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/

It can give a quick overview of the devices which can easily install a custom ROM (OS). I heard good things about Fairphone
