It’s not as if they’re using diamonds hand-mined by children in Africa or something… That’s the jewelry market. Synthetic diamond is in a ton of stuff, and it’s not really that expensive. The “material” is just carbon.

Well, three isn’t entirely out of the question.

Have you seen none of the flyers/banners that popped up this election? The fact that he’s a felon is celebrated. The fact that he’s a rapist is celebrated. The fact that he openly speaks against overtime pay is celebrated. Fuck, even his divorces are celebrated. He could literally shoot someone in the face at a rally, and it would just boost his support.

He’s Homelander, but fat and without superpowers.

All of this anticheat bs is still making the baseline assumption that the problem needs to be solved at the expense of the players.

It’s illegal to steal someone else’s property. We don’t enforce that law by cutting off everyone’s hands preemptively so that there is less demand on police to solve a problem that hasn’t happened yet…

If people are assholes and go against the wishes of society, you police and moderate them. If they can’t moderate their platform, that isn’t the fault of the community - it’s a failing of the corporation. It’s such a ridiculous mindset. It’s a fucking video game…

Didn’t calculate the price by weight. Just took the number from the 6" cube here and extrapolated from that since it was the easiest math.

The 5’ cube is 1000 times the size of the 6" cube and the 6" cube is $15k. The prices don’t scale up linearly though. The smaller cubes are better value by weight.

Assuming that’s about 5x5’, and going by the price of the first tungsten cube found on Google, this would be worth about 15 million dollars. Decent prize of you could move 150,000lb.

99% of the time you can just spoof the user agent and it’ll work perfectly fine. They only restrict it because they won’t hire enough developers to provide support for multiple browsers.

Honestly, it never got big enough for that to even matter. It just lost the content war to the PS2 Xbox and GameCube. Shenmue, Jet Set Radio and Sonic Adventure aren’t exactly enough great exclusives to justify buying the non-Halo machine or the console built by the company that “won” the previous generation.

You underestimate the capacity for corporate pettiness

So basically the author really hates KDE and loves the look of Windows 11. You’re not gonna find much like-minded enthusiasm over here… At least not outside of lemmy.ml
