That has an altogether different kind of solution !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com

Now you get edicts and anathemas instead of a general good/evil that you're obligated to follow. There aren't alignments in Pathfinder 2E after the remaster.

Cancelling is probably different from deleting the account

I think the point is that it's a lot easier to "accidentally" hit someone with a car

Steins;Gate and its sequel movie Steins;Gate: The Movie − Load Region of Déjà Vu

Then go away and live your life. Let the people who are angry and energized yell at companies to try and get better conditions for consumers.

Found it

Starting Season 10, all new heroes will be immediately unlocked when they launch. All existing heroes will also be unlocked for players. This means that heroes will no longer need to be unlocked through the Battle Pass to be playable in all game modes.

New players will still need to complete the first-time user experience to unlock heroes as they learn the ropes. Once the heroes from the original Overwatch roster have been unlocked, all Overwatch 2 heroes will also become available.

So unless there was another change, new players still need to play/win games in order to unlock the full roster.

I think they're referring to the 1953 coup that the CIA was definitely involved with, but I'm not too sure how involved the US was in the 1979 revolution. The US probably didn't have much influence in that one considering how long the Iran hostage crisis lasted.

It does not diminish my enjoyment of the game, I do not care because it does not affect me.

If it does bother me, doesn't that make it fine to complain about it? If I don't like seeing microtransactions in a game I paid full price for (or even just the trend of this happening across the industry), or if I don't like knowing that some features in the game that used to be free were put into a cash shop, or if I don't like that executives are trying to monetize every aspect of my experience, even after they've already gotten money out of me, shouldn't it be well within my right to criticize the game and company for degrading my experience?

And if you truly aren't bothered by it but see that some people are, should you really be trying to defend the practice? You have every right to not be bothered by in-game monetization and not complain about it, but do you really need to try and convince other people that are bothered by it that it isn't really such a big deal?

Another big example is any web-browser that isn't safari. That should be changing soon/recently (see here https://www.theverge.com/2024/1/25/24050478/apple-ios-17-4-browser-engines-eu) but that's only because Apple was forced to.

You should probably be looking at trends over a longer period of time, rather than just a single month.

From here. There was a dip below the 2016-2019 average in January through March of 2023, but time marches on.

The numbers for 2023 are no higher than normal either

The numbers for 2023 in the 2-3 months you have data for. Look at the rest of the graph, how it starts off lower in January and is higher for the rest of the year. Go back up and look at this graph

and see how covid comes in waves each year, not evenly distributed throughout. Then go back and look at this graph

and see that based on the data we have in the US, deaths per year has stayed above the previous yearly patterns. We don't have all the data over a long period of time because covid hasn't been around for all that long. But from what we can see so far, it kills people. The exact number per year remains to be seen, but from the data we have it's been in the thousands, just in Norway.

Edit: I guess next time I see a fucking “mOVInG tHe GOOalPoSt!!!” I will take the clue and not fucking bother.

Half of the sources you posted actively worked against your own arguments. Maybe you shouldn't bother.

EDIT of my own: After looking at one of your sources (Eurostat)

you can see that January-March was lower than 2016-2019, but it's been on the rise again across the EU, and especially in Norway. Again, you can't just look at one single month and decide that it's representative of everything, everywhere, across all time going forward.
