I worked customer service for match for almost a decade, so I can give you a few pointers.

People leave when they’re the only ones in an area. So giving them something to do is important to retain people. The best idea I’ve ever saw was having a forum where people can discuss any topic. I think Match also tested public chatrooms and streams, but i didn’t really dealt with those. You’ll have to deal with forum drama and moderation, but some people will be very engaged.

Speaking of, moderation will take lots of time and effort. People sick. Make sure that moderation tools are as robust as the matching ones.

I think those are the general ones. Best of luck!

If it’s anything like me, it only needs sugar water and potato chips.

Epic’s anti cheat support Linux, the CEO refuses(-ed) to use it in their own games because they hate Linux.

Talking out of my ass, i think this shift is one of two things. The first would be their customers wanting to target Steam Deck having doubts of Epic’s anti cheat capacity in Linux. If they don’t support it in their own games (and Rocket League had Linux support before being bought out). The other is they want to launch their own Linux based console with their Store pre-installed. They’ve always wanted to have a store front, to the point they challenged Google and Apple for a bigger piece of the pie. Today, this last part is unlikely considering the price of components.

The only other entity able to push AI this hard is the state, and people would certainly be just as pissed about it.

A real world example: phone numbers. How many phone numbers do you know by heart? Before cellphones, people would know dozens of phone numbers, family, friends, commonly called places.

RCS is very finicky where i live, it can disconnect and fall back to sms at any moment, even with data enabled.

A real life example, I know a company whose low level employees use a Dell mini pc with a custom OS whose only job is to RDP into Citrix. All the data and compute is on the cloud.

Plus, a good chunk of men would cheat with a young, attractive woman paying them attention.

Entirely self inflicted. He’s been wealthy all his life. He could have learned any skill or hobby.

That’s why you keep the guns and ammo separate.

Wait, what’s the first. I thought both were cis in a het relationship.

I also like Acts 2: 44-47

44 All the believers were together and had everything in common. 45 They sold property and possessions to give to anyone who had need. 46 Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, 47 praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.

They use solar panels for energy. They could get it very dirty and let the battery run its course.

Could be classic Photoshop

They shouldn’t be. One of the issue the sheer size and volume, they’re being built based only on speculation not actual need (all the ssd/ram/gpu are sitting in warehouses waiting for these DC to be built — if they’re fabricated at all). They’re also being built where it’s cheap, not where they would be needed (industrial and urban areas) just to save money, externalize costs, and avoid regulations.

AI data centers use complex calculations. Why bring up websites or VPS? these are data centers are no issue, their footprints are small and don’t require much energy to work, unlike the AI data centers.

I just changed my cursor color to gold.

She’s 22, she spent her whole life in shooting drills at school. She might have survived one herself. That’s a generational experience similar to the Millennial suicide jokes. The solution is societal, not this.

A urologist did that to me. Imagine my surprise when a different urologist told me it was completely unnecessary for an UTI.
