They haven’t done a great job of marketing it. $100-120 a month isn’t bad and it beats the pants off of all the other satellite internet services.

Haha, this is funny and to be honest kind of brilliant.

I would be scared of giving everyone cancer. Probably create a suit of some sort to contain my energy so I am safe to be around. Then I’d create mad cool settlements and stuff on other planets for humans to maintain.

Yeah, I think you are describing the game at release years ago. It has grown so much since then.

I enjoyed the planetary exploration in No Man’s Sky. Some planets have an outpost, but most don’t. In No Man’s Sky there are several alien races and artifacts they left behind you can learn their language from.

There are a huge number of planets, and some have strange reality altering properties. They have different weather and conditions. There is a ginormous amount of alien life that you can catalogue and interact with and even tame. The planets themselves show a huge variety of differences. There is even underground and underwater environments with unique life suited to those environments.

The base building is fun. You can do a lot and you can even travel to galactic hubs and worlds that other players have worked on.

Even travelling through space is more fun. You are able to fly to planets and land on them seamlessly. You can own several different space ships and even giant freighters that can contain your ships and frigates you can send to other star systems.

I have played both. I prefer No Mans Sky. It’s just a better game by far.

For me, it’s not so much the praise from Putin, but Musks own admission that he intentionally hampered the war effort.

Never heard of that. I will try it.

According to Wikipedia:

DuckDuckGo's results are a compilation of "over 400" sources according to itself, including Bing, Yahoo! Search BOSS, Wolfram Alpha, Yandex, and its own web crawler (the DuckDuckBot); but none from Google.

That explains why the results are better than Bing for me.

The article’s whole argument sounds like one of the weakest and most common corporate speak nonsense arguments that come up whenever there is a monopoly. It’s almost an admission of being a monopoly.

That said, the “browsers providing Google search by default money” is probably the economic reason why we still have a Firefox web browser (the only real, fully functioning alternative to the webkit/blink browsers like Chrome). For a long time, it was a significant source of their income.

Also, the alternatives to Google search need to step up their game. As a tech worker, Bing sucks for results. Yahoo does too since it gets results from Bing. DuckDuckGo isn’t bad. Anyone know better alternatives?

Man, congress really looks dumb right now.

They view the players as nothing more than entertainment and don’t view them as human.
