Nah, it's pretty simple actually. If the archive doesn't exist at all, they can't even steal from it.

I tried to find something on marketplace a month ago. Dozens of posts because it's a super common item, all posts were a week or less old. None were legitimate. Every one was a scam, responses all leading to bullshit websites to buy, or users that never responded.

Has to get the item on Ebay instead because apparently they actually have basic scam prevention systems in place while Facebook apparently doesn't have shit.

This is exactly the type of shit I've been trying to explain to the Linux fanboys for years and all of them dismiss outright.

Until simple shit like this is easy for the average person, Linux will never replace Windows as a default OS option for regular users. 99% of people are scared of config files and the terminal, and they're still just too commonly needed in every distro.

A LOT of work has been done to minimize it, but there's always still basic functionality that just isn't in the GUI. That's not an issue for most of us here... But it is for most people. Fediverse users are a small minority.

Sometimes those are the chains directly... More often they're just ghost kitchens. Someone else owns the brand, and has an already established kitchen make the food for delivery apps, and they take a cut from the sale.

Many ghost kitchens aren't even normal restaurants you would drive to, they're just commercial kitchens in generic business space that make food for a dozen or so ghost kitchen brands.

Oh you sweet summer child. There are individual cards that go for that.

Tongo isn't a fully fleshed out game, and the writers didn't have anything concrete to go on when referencing it. It was written as a mashup of poker, mahjongg and craps.

There were never any "official" rules established; according to Ron D. Moore the writers had only a vague idea of what the game was actually about, and mostly just made it up as they went along.

I've been extremely satisfied both with the 9070XT that replaced my old RTX 3080, and the Arc A310 in my media server. Both have worked flawlessly, and with Optiscaler, native DLSS/FSR/XeSS support doesn't really matter anymore, you can just use whatever regardless of your hardware, and add FG if you want to anything.

New York pizza is just above mid. Always has been, always will be. You're just the loudest about it.
