I believe the purpose of OSM was to counter Google cranking up the prices for companies wanting to use their maps (and because the Ordnance Survey wouldn’t provide free access to their maps). Companies (small ones, not Google-sized ones) that want to use map data for their business want to be able to make money so if they’re not allowed to use OSM then they will keep paying the likes of Google.
!trendingcommunities@lemmy.cafe, but it doesn’t seem to have posted since April
Whatever happened to !trendingcommunities@feddit.nl? That was great for finding new communities which actually had active posters.
It’s not that the company is losing money, it’s just what investors think their company is worth is now less
The company also reported that ‘bookings’, a key measure of player spending, grew by just 8% year over year after previously posting much stronger growth
This is the most relevant thing the article mentions; they’re still making money, more money than they did last year
Financial news is weird, it all just seems like random guesswork and made up numbers
What do you think has happened over the last decade? I remember it being pretty good when it first came out, but there’s a lot of spyware and adware that’s frog-boiled its way in over the years.
My first ever video game machine was a version of this piece of crap!
Relevant discussion, I wonder if the post is directly related to the news
Exactly, someone spoofing the biometrics to unlock my phone relies on them having physical access, whereas spoofing the biometrics on an account that can be accessed anywhere in the world is quite a bit bigger of a threat
That’s unlocking your phone, this is unlocking your entire Google account (e.g. on a new device)
You don’t even need to jailbreak LG ones, just enable developer mode, install webosbrew, and install things like youtube adfree and space cadet pinball
I think some people want the idea of a service that’s absolutely perfect, and anything with any flaw is just as bad as the actual bad thing. The likes of Signal and Proton aren’t perfect, but they’re so much better than the big tech defaults that the only ones benefiting from people shitting on them are the corpos we’re trying to get away from!
More power to you if you can get all your friends to switch to the optimal self-hosted FOSS solution, but don’t let perfect be the enemy of good.
That’s the one I was thinking of. It’s a slow process, but it does happen.
The hairy frog is also notable in possessing retractable “claws”, which it may project through the skin, apparently by intentionally breaking the bones of the toe.[5] These are not true claws, as they are made of bone, not keratin. In addition, there is a small bony nodule nestled in the tissue just beyond the frog’s fingertip. When sheathed, each claw is anchored to the nodule with tough strands of collagen. When the frog is grabbed or attacked, it breaks the nodule connection and forces the sharpened bones through the skin.[6][7] Although a retraction mechanism is not known, it has been hypothesized that the claws later retract passively, while the damaged tissue is regenerated.
This type of natural weaponry appears to be unique in the animal kingdom, although the Otton frog possesses a similar “spike” in its thumb.[8] An alternative hypothesis is that the broken bones could provide a better grip on rocks.[9]

Yep, pretty horrifying, accurate name.
This country that we all live in? The country of Lemmy? I know the EU have been pretty good at slapping down Google’s anti-competitive practices recently (though it’s a long and slow process and I’ve not heard any news about this particular one yet).
The only thing I know about PSO was that you could use this bad boy:
Please tell me you had one!
I think Heroic uses GOGDL
Some good answers in this post from last year, though my vote goes to the classic Bosca Ceoil!
Much more achievable for the common man
