The studio shutdown definitely did get announced, but no formal cancellation AFAIK. Selling a cancelled game is just wrong

Too soon, I'm still sad.

I suspect KSP2 has probably killed all the goodwill earnt by KSP, I certainly won't buy anything else until I know its a finished game.

No one seriously thinks OF is a viable career path do they? Sex work has never been a career thing, at best you get a couple years of good earning and then you get forgotten. At worst, you get a pittance and mental health issues.

Tech has worked out for lots of people, just because some are laid off every so often, doesn't mean the rest aren't doing really well.

I dunno, maybe its time for Dropbox to just slowly decline and eventually exit? I don't see what they could possibly pivot into that isnt already covered by Google, Microsoft, Proton, etc. They had years of first mover advantage they could have pivoted off, but thats long behind them.

That said, if thats their plan, then the C suite needs to have their pay cut to the bone as well. CEOs get the big bucks because they make the big decisions to grow the company. If they arent growing, they should be the first cut.

You are describing pickle, but it does come with some serious risks, especially if the file can be modified by a third party.

I'd suggest using protobuf or similar instead, but its a bit more work.

Tangentially related, but when I switched my cat from commercial cat food to a raw chicken (w/ supplements) diet, her poops went from very bulky once a day, to shrivelled poops every-other day.

The amount of water in the chicken, and the lack of bulking ingredients made a huge difference.

Opening a new account should be relatively quick, even if you don't get your card. So create a new account, and transfer most of your money into it. Buy the item with your current card.

Fwiw, even without 3d secure, eBay is pretty safe to use, they are a huge corporation, and they know how to safely do transactions.

Might be a good idea to state your country. AFAIK, PayPal has no fees at all in my country, I assumed it was the same everywhere.

Can you get another bank account and card with no overdraft, and keep its balance near zero when not using it? When you buy, transfer the amount to the card and use it in whatever sketchy site you like. As long as its zero balance the rest of the time its relatively safe.

Its not for you, its for spammers...

I remember you, how did you go with your raspi project? Looking forward to your updates!

/etc/passwd: you may be able to get to this from the GUI file manager.

If not, open a terminal and type: cat /etc/passwd. Copy the relevant lines.

To test the login, from a terminal, type su otheruser, replace otheruser with the username from /etc/passwd. It should ask for a password, put that in and it should log you in. Type whoami and make sure its the same username as you expected. Paste any errors here.

I want a modern Flatout 2, such a fun game.
