Lots of people play lowfi hiphop as background noise. It’s the modern equivalent of late 80s smooth jazz elevator music.

It’s an ok game.

Had a few plot points in the UC quest line that were cool. I liked that zero g casino fight.

Inventory management was shit, but that’s pretty common to the creater.

Base building didn’t really interest me in Fallout 4, and didn’t do much for me here either. The crafting was weird. I don’t like using my combat feats to make better sandwiches.

The ship customization was cool, but since you are just jumping to your destination it didn’t matter much for my playthrough.

The proc gen planets were predictably empty feeling. I was worried about that after they said they were putting 1000 in. No way they could hand generate enough content to fill that, which was their strength in The Elder Scrolls.

I suspect they got caught up in the No Man’s Sky hype and forgot to use their core strengths. Combine this with not enough innovation on their weaknesses and it was mid.

If they would have done an Expanse scale game, set within our solar system, where you had 2 large terrestrial planets, a number of asteroid bases, and kept their scale in check they may have been able to pull it off. But it felt just too stretched out.

I think that 7/10 review guy was right.

We need an ai to listen to music and tell us what to like by playing it on repeat till we do. Just like the radio stations.

Not all dads abandon their kids to go get cigs at the gas station my guy.

The funny thing is that it is the Apple phones making it worse intentionally.

They sell hardware, everything they make is there to want you to purchase the next version of it.

Their lockin game is on point. I was reading an article about how kids bully other kids who are not using apple products because their icons are another color.

I think ideally we should all use something that’s open source, e2e encrypted, and platform agnostic, but you are not going to get either Apple or Google on board with that since you can’t really make money off it.

Yeah, they don’t like us much.

Well it’s kind of open to interpretation, which may be why they didn’t want to directly say that, just imply it.

Article 19 of the Geneva convention:

The protection to which civilian hospitals are entitled shall not cease unless they are used to commit, outside their humanitarian duties, acts harmful to the enemy. Protection may, however, cease only after due warning has been given, naming, in all appropriate cases, a reasonable time limit, and after such warning has remained unheeded.

Now are firing qassam rockets “harmful to the enemy”? Probably.

Has due warning been given? Maybe? It’s not well defined what that means. Does roof knocking count? Do you need to submit a form to their embassy?

I think the big problem is that the kind of warfare we are seeing here is unlike what they saw when they wrote those laws.

They would just stay up later if they knew they could sleep in. It won’t fix that.

Also, If we are going to change it, we need to just shift everyones starting time back an hour so their parents can still take them to school before work. Or possibly drop some time off the workday.

The Australians have a cardboard kamikaze drone. The hard part would be sourcing enough electronics in a warzone.

As long as you do not rely on SEO to get traffic. This has a good chance of affecting how Google sees your site as well.

Yeah, I have a network attached brother black and white printer. It’s pretty great. It handles 98 percent of my printing workload, no fuss, I honestly don’t remember the last time I changed any toner. Has a scanner on top that works if I need it.

If I want something big/nice and in full color I can always go down to the print shop. But for your common printing it’s great.

If it’s going to get scalped anyways, I would prefer we did it in the open auction style the first half year, with the RPI foundation getting the proceeds.

These scalper bots are adding nothing of value. Fuck em.

It’s not a principled stance, it’s simple economics.

They already take 30 percent of sales.

It is a benefit to them to put whatever will guarantee more sales, and a couple cents from an ad impression is just going to get in the way of that goal.

I think he means from his phone. Obsidian is great to just sync if you have a git client, but kinda a pain from the phone app unless you pay.

Is reading a passage from a book actually a crime though?

Sure, you could try to regenerate the full text from quotes you read online, much like you could open a lot of video reviews and recreate larger portions of the original text, but you would not blame the video editing program for that, you would blame the one who did it and decided to post it online.

Yeah, it refuses to give you the first sentence from Harry Potter now.

Which is kinda lame, you can find that on thousands of webpages. Many of which the system indexed.

If someone was looking to pirate the book there are way easier ways than issuing thousands of queries to ChatGPT. Type “Harry Potter torrent” into Google and you will have them all in 30 seconds.

I’ve been seeing a lot of alpine based containers recently. Used to see a lot of Ubuntu, debian, redhat.

I think a lot of it depends on if you are spinning a lot of containers up.

I use syncthing for my documents as well. My source code is in GitHub if it’s important, and I can reinstall everything else if I need.
