There’s no functional difference, we just use both terms. It’s a bit arbitrary, but generally once a mall is a mall we stick with that and vice versa. E.g. “Westfield St Lukes” is known as “St Lukes mall” colloquially by pretty much everyone.

Kiwi here. We have malls and shopping centers, but only mall Santas

If the only road vehicles were occasional 20kph last mile delivery vehicles and emergency services, our roads and cities could look drastically different. Outside cities, this doesn’t really apply and we probably still need traditional road vehicles.

Cries in New Zealand where consistent 1m is a luxury. We have bike lanes which sometimes narrow to 1m for both lanes

It either happens, or it doesn’t, or the chances are not equal.

That’s 50/50/50 or 1 in 3.

I’m sitting here with a messed up and hugely swollen upper lip and half a dozen bandages. But not from tram tracks, just from my bike losing traction on wet painted concrete at 35-40kph and sliding on my face for a good meter or two. Somehow no broken bones or lost teeth. Hooray for helmets.

Lutris for mods. You can point it at the game exe downloaded by steam in many cases (not all), and then run arbitrary exes inside the same wine prefix.

Arguably “we can just put it in docker, and create an auto scaling microservice with a load balancer, behind a CDN for avg request latency” fits this group too. The hoops I have to jump through to get a good user experience on top of our shitty PHP backend are unreal

Steve: “Hey Jim, what did you say that other extraction shooter was called?”

Jim (muffled): “Escape from Tarkov”

Steve: “Oh yeah Escape from Duckov, thanks mate”

That’s what they get for not fixing the mac address. Massive security issue lol

Nah this is pretty concrete. There’s a flat screen single player game in active development with features being added like vehicle physics, surface temperatures, NPC AI handling for non standard gravity, etc. And there are half life related strings all through it. HL3? Who knows, but it would explain why they actually acknowledged their two anniversaries…

We also found that, unlike similar US studies, there was no significant bias against female students. In fact, there was some evidence of positive bias, or preference, for female students.

And then, in the caption:

Our study found academics did not discriminate against potential candidates based on gender.

Some mild irony there

But in seriousness, really good to see this quantified, but sadly not a huge surprise

One of the things I loved about Reddit was the super niche experts dropping into the comment section. I’m so glad Lemmy has this too.

No picture of what it actually looks like?

“Introductions and a bit of smalltalk” - I would shit myself if an interviewer started asking about smalltalk… /s

I recall they sold their microwave meals on the intercity trains for an arm and a leg…

There’s nothing stopping game companies from selling through multiple storefronts, or even direct to customer with Steam’s cut removed.

The fact is, players are happy to pay a premium so that the games live in their steam library, are downloaded via Steam’s delivery network, and integrate with steam features.

Steam is not anti-competitive, it’s just good.
