It's barely a hero shooter - it's just a MOBA

Changing the voting age is one change, but making voting non compulsory for some voters starts to get messy. It would also be an easy thing for a government to tweak to reduce youth voter turnout by shifting that number around.

FYI, you can go directly to messenger.com and avoid seeing the rest of the site entirely. You can also deactivate your Facebook account and leave Messenger (mostly) functional.

Microsoft, forever and always, will keep trying to pivot Windows to whatever they think the Next Big Thing is going to be, and then fuck it up every time. They tried to pivot to Mobile (Windows Mobile), then Tablets (8, 8.1), then digital assistants (Win 10 Cortana), then 3D (Win 10 Paint3D, 3D Objects folder) and AR (why a bunch of Win10 got the semitransparent glass aesthetic), now AI. Maybe they got ahead of the curve enough to be the "leader" in "AI" this time, but that doesn't make it a Good Operating System.

I couldn't find anything like this other than very expensive portable options last time I checked, and unfortunately Android Tablets are surprisingly hard to use for the purpose.

In some places Messenger is the default communications platform, more so than SMS or WhatsApp or iMessage or whathaveyou.

"my law..." "my study..."

yeah, i think the author wants a law named after them. the first half of the article is also... junk?

Yeah, that's my #1 reason to not use it. I've got a long list of reasons to dislike OneNote, but that's the big one.

They've also done it with Halo and Fortnite that I've seen.

"promotions" telling me to play a certain game on stream in discord (and get some cosmetic item for it) are ads for that game. I don't have a screenshot of it on hand, unfortunately.

without ads.

only if you have a very strict definition of Ad

 

I've been trying to, through my browser and extensions, set a custom font for all websites. Specifically Atkinson Hyperlegible (google fonts link), developed by the Braille Institute, since I find it much easier to read when parsing large blocks of text. I've heard from some dyslexic folks it helps them as well (more so than Open Dyslexic or Dyslexie).

Unfortunately, it seems to fall down on Beehaw! I think it gets overridden by the theme settings, and neither Firefox nor any of the font-changing extensions seem to be able to get past it.

Would it be impossible to add a version of the darkly and litely themes with Atkinson Hyperlegible as the typeface? Heck, it's good looking and as readable as it gets, it couldn't hurt being a default option!
