Steam does scan for malware, which is why this is news. It’s notable that a game got through that was malware. You haven’t heard about other stores because it’s not worth the effort in targeting them. I wouldn’t be surprised to learn that most stores use the same vendor for malware scanning.
There’s baggage with Nazi that doesn’t really apply and it hurts the argument. The Holocaust is the big one, there’s nothing remotely on the same level happening, lots of regimes have rounded up a particular minority, but systemic extermination is extremely rare. Maga also seems more isolationist than expansionist.
There are strong parallels that can be drawn, but at there’s also contradictions. It doesn’t help that Nazi has routinely been used as a placeholder for super evil and go to for exaggeration. By using Nazi you allow your criticism to be dismissed as hyperbole. Until Trump invades Poland with Russia, it’s probably best to use a different term.
Yes you can be a good president without being a good person. I wouldn’t call Clinton a good person, but he was a good president. LBJ would also be a good candidate for bad person l, but good president.
This one really depends on what you did and why. FDR generally gets a pass on Japanese concentration camps, Lincoln also subverted the constitution in some ways. Eisenhower using nationalized troops to integrate southern schools was an abuse of power, but the result was deemed worth it.
There were a small handful of good Nazis, but that’s not really the issue at hand. Calling modern politicians Nazis is intellectually lazy and counterproductive to achieving anything.
Passing a driving test in the US is usually one of the first accomplishments of becoming an adult, which makes it notable, but not necessarily big.
This seems way too hostile to valve for what this really was.
Dealerships are a reasonable middleman to exist. They provide a legal entity within the state, which is useful for resolving conflicts. They simplify logistics for manufacturers by having set places to deliver larger amounts of cars, and handle issue that arise from shipping more reliably than singular customers.
There are downsides to them, but none of them actually get better by removing dealerships and having people deal with GM or Toyota directly where there’s even more power imbalance.
Honestly you aren’t missing much, the game gets old once the story really starts. The exploration of the castle is fun, but the surrounding area and combat are lackluster.
WB seems to have a lifetime contract for denuvo, all their games seem to keep it indefinitely.
Natural Selection 2 is still an awesome game with a pratically unique gameplay. It’s an RTS/FPS hybrid with asymmetrical teams. It’s worth checking out if you can handle a bit of a learning curve.
The rate depends on debit card use.
My debit card gives me a better interest rate on checking and savings which is way better than points or cash back. The only difference in fraud protection is the money may not be immediately available that was fraudulent, which can be a problem. Credit can be a problem until you get a mortgage though without credit cards.
Alternately it’s a Jenny and Forest situation.
This is why I’m not a fan of REST, the whole as possible part is meaningless. It could be an api that’s 99% REST with a few well thought out methods for common actions that aren’t quite REST, or it could be a mess of an api that uses PUT occasionally.
Self documenting at an application api level is not really possible. What I’d rather have is consistency and predictability, which is impossible in a REST as possible system.
There’s also value in treating http as just a transport later. It can give you clear boundaries, 200 the app processed the request, anything else the app didn’t process it.
Yes most things are crud if you zoom out enough that doesn’t mean REST is just fine. The scope is larger now, the states are more complex and interrelated, relationships are more complex, data privacy laws can affect the physical implementation. REST also has a lot of baggage that leads to excessive bike shedding, or refusal to allow useful endpoints that aren’t sufficiently restful. Proponents also tend to be more concerned with the purity of the api than the usability and effectiveness of it
Yes I’d rather have a self defined standard that accurately covers the scope of an application and it’s use cases than stretch an old standard design for basic hierarchical text docs to work for a modern application.
The people that decide which rules are important or not when designing a “REST” api are generally insufferable as well.
These are basically ancient, but if you want to feel like crap.
I’d rather see this than actual rest or the more popular use the bits of rest that are convenient.
Malware creation and detection are billion dollar industries playing an eternal cat and mouse game with each other. These programs don’t just instantly try to steal every file the second they run.
