Straight up, dominoes has the cheapest pizza deals of any pizza chain in the state in my area. Not by a lot. Their quality is like C-tier, but I don't give a shit, it's pizza, it's still decent.

I can get a large three topping pizza for $8 USD compared to $10 at Pizza Hut or $11 at Papa John's.

They're perfectly low-cost for some mid pizza but state-side.

Real question:

This article has been SPAMMED over Lemmy for the past week, what made you post it 8 days after it was made?

That's essentially old news on a platform that moves as fast as this

I thought so too, and maybe they are using a different metric in this article, but I couldn't tell you since their source URL is a deadline.......

Just cuz Nintendo is a company run by bitch-made cum guzzlers doesn't mean its fans should bend over like that. It used to be that kids loved Mario and sonic, so they made a shit ton of Mario and sonic flash games. That's good, creative, harmless, and gets attention because of the brand fandom.

Not sure if you mean without alcohol as in without you yourself needing to drink, or if you mean where do you find an entire community who doesn't drink.

If you're looking for athiest teetotallers, you're already cutting out more than three quarters of people you'll ever meet, so no wonder you may be finding it hard.

If you're anywhere slightly populated, check out local festivals and street markets that get stood up on a regular schedule. Where I am there's usually a weekly farmer's market in a few cities nearby. If you want to volunteer to set-up or work at one they always have the most friendly, community-based people. You'll have to not be anti-social for long enough to make friends with people, but normally it will be the same group who goes to every street festival and market, and you'll recognize all the vendors and workers (who are chill people).

That might be what he meant, good on her family for seeing she has dementia and getting her away from her job

Work arounds are for devs to solve, not schmucks on lemmy. CS:GO used to use something similar to occlusion culling to prevent this exact problem. Don't send the client all of the enemy locations/data unless the client is within roughly the right distance/sight to see that enemy. This is not a full fix, but dramatically nerfs wall hacking.

I've seen community plugins for TF2 and other source engine games that will add "ghost" players. Generate ai characters, turn them invisible, and send their data to clients. If someone keeps shooting at the ghosts, they can easily get caught and banned.

There are entire industries dedicated to finding solutions to this problem, check out this research paper about this exact subject if you want.

This article is a TLDR of an investigatory book coming out next month already, but the double TLDR:

Spotify has begun targeting "background music genres" like jazz and electronic music for "Perfect Fit Content". It's made by nameless "artists" (mentioned to possibly be AI generated) and they get no royalties (don't have to be paid).

Spotify takes this song, posts it to dozens, if not hundreds of fake artists' pages, and boosts them to the top of the algorithm to get hundreds of millions of listens. More listens than actual popular human artist. This artificially pumps Spotify's stock prices, and then the CEO of spotify dumped their stock, making nearly a billion dollars this year.

Likened to Payola, this hurts actual artists' payout rates on Spotify.

The second arrest was of Anthony Rosario, Teamsters organizer and former UPS driver who was a leader in the 1997 UPS strike.

Rosario says he and the workers were complying with police officers’ demand to let one truck through every two to three minutes. When police began trying to let more trucks through, he says, he “continued to walk, using my right … and you know, they just decided to arrest me.

I'd love to see the charge

Use... Five eyes to stop spam calls? How would that work? Are they dispatching Australians to shoot scammers or something?

Okay, now the player data is encrypted and unreadable by clients.

How will the client display where the players are without data....

Why are you bothering to spend cycles sending this useless, encrypted data......

If you mean to decrypt the player data once it reaches the client, then you have solved no issues.............
