I think this is more of a defence against scammers honestly, with a convincing enough scam you could make valve belive an account holder was dead and you’re a family member wanting to transfer their account to yours.

Hell, I saw my dead friend’s account message me in Russian, contacted support about it, and all they could do was remove the hacker’s access, not even lock or delete that account.

And how could they? Unless you have your full name, address, and other identifying information somewhere on your account (strongly ill-advised, obviously) Valve can’t cross check it with a death certificate and take action, for all they know you could be cooperating with the hacker or submitting fake information to “prank” your friend by getting their account removed.

Allowing account transfers would open a whole new can of worms.

Just write down the password and login if you know you’re going to go. I don’t think Valve under Gabe would have issues with that. Though I do worry for its future

ohhh thank you! yeah my 2 year old knives definitely need a whetstone at this point. I suppose the honing rod can only help you so far

I don’t know where I read it but the best defence to “if you have nothing to hide you have nothing to fear” is “I don’t have anything to hide but I don’t trust your judgment or intentions”

thank you lemmy, for showing me this post 2 days after it was made

but then suddenly somewhere in the description of them eating stale bread it turns out 2 weeks have passed

I think this is Tolkien describing the history of the world. Like I get it, important council, but it’s been 5 pages please, I will remember none of the 10 new character names I don’t even know how to pronounce

the sound design of the real world is rather boring and often unappealing. Sound designers on movies are gods of those audiotary universes, they will paint it however they want

dang, what does the rod do? It was sold under the name of “knife sharpener”

then don’t go spinning in a city, pick a village or a small town and go wild, it’ll take them a while to notice and a longer while yet to bother stopping you, and chances are (with village police) they’d first sit down and watch for an hour or so. Adding it all up I’d say you’re looking at at least 8h of spinning. In the end you’ll just be told to stop since it’s 100% legal or you could pioneer a new law in Poland! exciting

oh that reminds me, I need a proper whetstone, the metal rod thingy from tesco’s is just not (making it so my knives are properly) cutting it

in Poland there is no legal limit, so if you fancy spinning around come visit!

oh same haha, if someone asks me a question they’re getting the answer, i don’t care that they expected a “i’m fine”

bang on the doors of the AI customer support until you get to a human and they’ll do it for you! taking the power of being able to cancel normally away from you is by design. Legally they have to give you some way out, but only if you 1) pay them more (default option) 2) demand they do it through their support channels

fuck adobe

to this day, I find 15 million merits to be one of the most terrifying episodes.

Would you sell your soul for a peaceful life?

I don’t know about you but I can’t answer that question. And it terrifies me.

be advised: this will not work with the majority of neurodivergent people

I’m sure there’s plenty of people of colour who suck at cooking. Those are just stereotypes used for an Internet joke

as both Juneteenth and the 4th of July are American holidays, I referred to American stereotypes about Americans

don’t start with mixing then! Best to get to know them invidivually first

Juneteenth celebrates the abolishment of slavery, I’d say people of colour are the most happy about that, and people of colour are stereotypically famous for making good food

4th of July celebrates the US independence, which though not a predominantly a white holiday more white people (on account of being a racial majority) will celebrate it, and white people are stereotypically famous for making bland food
