This is a bit of a misread from where I can see

There’s more people upset about not being on the list

Inflation is good for musk, it means his investments make more money

Let’s all not be naive here

Bob is a shithead

Authentik is great, super versatile, if not a bit of effort to get it set up initially

Has no one introduced you guys to the concept of the corner cupboard?

The CVE list always cracks me up, there’s like tens daily

What did the Slovakians say before tractors were invented?

Holy shit have they finally updated it?

They had Guardian as mixed factuality for years

Unless they’ve completely overhauled all their rankings though, I expect a lot of the more subtle biases will still be present

Edit: from a year ago https://web.archive.org/web/20250816111509/https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/the-guardian/

And it had been like that for a number of years (I don’t make a habit of checking it regularly given my distrust of it)

Well this seems like a good way to get at least some governments pumping even more money into open source

I can’t wait for around 80% of features moving to this one and needing to perform some kind of ancient incantation to access the old version for the remaining 20%

Lmao just read the readme of the project and got all the red flags I need

Media Bias Fact Check (MBFC) Integration

I can forgive someone with a passing exposure to it not knowing, but MBFC is notorious for having biased rankings.

The regular example I use is the Guardian being placed on the same factuality ranking as breitbart (the nazi rag), but it’s not one case, there’s a general right-wing bias in the rankings.

The developer of this project is very clearly just trying to put their finger on the views of their users

Okay go

Here I was thinking they should have made it look crappier

Imagine referring to your dad by your surname

FWIW the international broadcasts did the same, I think it was a single feed to all syndicates

I was gonna say, of all the big chains in America, Costco at least seems to try and be half decent to its customers and staff

Sounds like the jury is out then

When I worked in GAME (formerly EB in the UK) in the mid-00s we never unsealed new stock for display, we just changed the lining slip on the dummy boxes that always stayed on the shop floor (head office would send us the updated slips they wanted every couple of weeks). Fairly sure we had a policy that once the plastic wrap had been removed it was only returnable as a pre-owned trade-in (which seemed kinda scammy in some cases, but it was the policy)

FWIW I imagine genuinely pre-owned stock would get a label on it to not mix it up with new stock, but yeah no idea how they’re handling non-preowned returns

If it had the shrink wrap on it when you bought it, this is almost certainly from QA at the factory as others have said. It is trivial to build a machine that would read carts on the line, but also plenty of places will still do manually sampled QA.

If no shrink wrap, then it was either opened at the shop to use as a display case (pretty sure they had already stopped using real game cases for this about 2 decades ago, when I last worked in a shop like that), which could either mean a mix up or a staff member testing it out (this wasn’t allowed with non-preowned products when I worked in a similar place)

Or perhaps someone bought it and returned it within the return window if the store allows such a thing, I don’t think typically it would go into pre-owned, but maybe clearance in that scenario. Though I think many places don’t really let you return games once they’re opened due to online registration features

How about we don’t build dystopian digital panopticons?

Anyone else see Vinnie Jones in lock stock?
