Isn't your argument essentially saying that a nation's sovereign body, no matter what their laws, are not only expected, but also justified and morally correct in enforcing those laws, without any regard to the nature of those laws?

By this argument, one would believe that it is imperative for communications networks to assist Nazi Germany in the location and rounding up of undesired people as a part of Gleichschaltung, and that to not do this is to cede power to pedophiles.
I preciously worked for an insurance broker on a site that encouraged people to get active. Something we did was Aggregate data from various platforms (fitbit, Garmin, apple health, etc). We used a third party called Validic, but their implementation was subpar. One of their big selling points was a consistent data format between services, unfortunately this wasn't true. For certain service/activity combinations we need a work around for the data thag they sent us. If you could make a service that aggregated data from different services and provided them in a consistent format you'd make a killing.
The impact of having frictionless package building cannot be understated. I'm publishing Arch Linux packages for all my applications because it takes just a few minutes to write up a PKGBUILD. Then one time, I tried providing a Debian package as well, but I gave up after several hours of trying to get through all the bureaucracy of the tooling.
I tried to add some clisp patches to it's gitlab repo today. It's a GNU project, and the maintainer didn't do github, so he had no github actions.
But previously there were plenty of CI pipelines on gitlab. Now there are none anymore, and a reminder that the free tier for CI pipelines will last only for 1 month.

So I reactivated my github fork again, and am running the CI jobs there. Without CI it's useless. GNU should really move to a proper platform, with a proper CI. Even if it contains javascript.
Could you provide some additional hints/tips/solutions for level 60 and level 62 ?
BTW: How many levels are implemented in total ? More than 200 ? If so, then such a difficulty at level 60 is little to high, IMHO (of course, when it comes to finding the optimal solution).

It's true that gaming is split, but its not something that happened recently.

Mapping and modding was never generally available to console gamers, and they've traditionally made up the vast majority of game consumers because high end PCs were much more expensive since PC gaming was a thing.

The only stuff you could genuinely expect a home gamer to do is something like cracking your system protection in the ps2+ era or going ham on the GAMESHARK.

> I wonder with all the people growing up, getting old, becoming game developers, do these people just not care about these old cool features that have gone away that entirely changed the gaming experience for kids?

The game developers care, the problem is management as you said... for a multitude of reasons:

1. companies are afraid of a repeat of GTA Hot Coffee - basically, enraged parents shitstorming because modders (re-)added sexually explicit content

2. central servers can be moderated, whereas allowing users to run their own servers will lead to screenshots of chats where people drop n-bombs or go off brigading and other kinds of trollery, resulting in enraged people shitstorming and the legal department whines about brand safety (for good reasons)

3. having server code publicly available allows malicious actors to go beyond fuzzing in developing exploits and hacking users

4. you can't keep squeezing money out of users when they run their own servers
I agree, but with a small exception.

There is value in saying "here's the number of a guy I know and trust". Curating options is valuable. Basically you need to be a honest broker: https://tedgioia.substack.com/p/how-i-became-the-honest-brok...

There is also value in preparing leads with good information, filtering out tire kickers, and abstracting marketing or billing away. Some people want to work on their craft without thinking about SEO and the like.

For example, I work with people I trust to take over when the information on my website is not enough. "This is all I know. If you need a lawyer, call Fiona, she helped me a lot and I trust her advice". For some of the people I recommend, I get a kickback. As I see it, everyone in this transaction gains something.

Check if a publickey is known by GitHub or Gitlab without iterating all users
During some audits, it's likely that you find some ssh public keys laying around on some servers.

If you want to verify if this key is known by other services, but you don't have access to those services, this task might be hard.

SSH-MITM has an additional command, which allows to check if a public ssh key is known by GitHub, GitLab, and other code hosters. It's not limited to GitHub and other major platforms and even works with each service, which is accessible over SSH.

First you must install SSH-MITM. It's recommended to use the AppImage, because this works out of the box on most Linux machines.

$ wget https://github.com/ssh-mitm/ssh-mitm/releases/latest/download/ssh-mitm-x86_64.AppImage
$ chmod +x ssh-mitm-x86_64.AppImage

To check the publickey, you can use following command:

$ ./ssh-mitm-x86_64.AppImage audit check-publickey --host github.com --username git --public-key ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub

If the key is known you will get "valid key" otherwise "bad key".

Note: since this uses SSH to verify, if the key is known, it's not possible to get the username. The reason is, GitHub and other code hosters uses "git" as the username.

This technique can be used not only on GitHub. It's also possible to check if a user has access to a public SSH server. If you have some usernames and publickeys, those can be used to check if a valid combination is known by the server, without having the private key or other valid credentials to login.

Well, it would have combated spam effectively, which would have directly decreased the power of Gmail.

But it would also have, more importantly, created a revenue stream and normalized microtransactions, which would have created an alternate business model to attention/advertising.

Nobody likes paying for things... but I think the "free" future we're living in is pretty shitty compared to the way things were before.
Here in Ukraine people who enlist to army also get basic stuff from government, but everything advanced people get by themselves: from good hiking socks and base layer to thermal imagers and off-road cars and drones (either by paying from their salaries and families and friends or by getting help from private donors and volunteers).
That's interesting. THanks. I have a yubikey so that is for sure an option.

> Our company is using a very big chunk of our ad words budget targeting our own brand name to make sure it's on top.

You shouldn't need to do this. Googles ad auction on search multiplies your bid by a quality score when deciding which ad to show. A site that satisfies what the user is looking for will have a high quality score, whereas the 'wrong' site (ie. one for a competitor) will have a low quality score - partly determined by the user clicking the back button when they find they have been misled.

That means that if your competitors are pumping $100 into becoming the top search result, you perhaps only need to put $1 into getting the same ad spot.

If you are finding that not to be true, then it might be because your site is low quality for some reason (for example, maybe it doesn't load for some users in some browsers), or maybe your site doesn't have the info people are looking for when they search your company name.

In general if you're using it for legit purposes it's hard to take a domain taken even for big brands. You have it first, and unless you're using it for a competitor or to defame them it's hard to claim malice. They should have checked the name was able for them to use before using it.

But do make sure you have auto-renew setup etc. If you lose it, they can nab it fast and it'd be hard to get it back.

Companies could still do that, except they'd have to act as a broker instead of just sending leads to every single contractor they have on their list.

Instead they'd have to send information to the contractors, the contractors would have to submit quotes or whatever information back, then the "lead generator" would send said info to the customer in one email, text, etc. that the customer could then call/opt-in to calls with specific contractors.

https://github.com/jirutka/asciidoctor-html5s

The HTML alternate back-end fixes a lot of these issues and chooses semantic elements for a more modern age (while Asciidoctor is actively overhauling its output I believe).

The issue visually can be solved with CSS as-is (remove the padding or margin from li > p:only-child), but Microsoft GitHub treats its AsciiDoc rendering as a second-class citizen despite it objectively having more/better features for documentation than Markdown. The negligence becomes apparent when you look at the way GitHub syntax fork (“flavor”) handles admonitions; not only does it overload, overcomplicate, and ruin the semantics of the blockquote, but the CSS styling that makes them look nice was never ported to admonitions for reStructuredText and AsciiDoc despite these formats having the feature natively to the syntax (no fork required) since forever.

I recall reading a funny article, by some guys at cornell if my memory does not fail me, that concluded that obesity rates were lower in europe because europeans would stop eating when they weren't hungry anymore.

> I think white pages are still a thing, no?

But that's only part of it. Google will also happily serve up ads for fake bank websites that will steal your credentials. Google will happily serve up ads for a lot of malicious content on the Internet.

Google are not only making it worse because of advertising, they're making it worse by facilitating scammers and fraudsters and various other criminals.

All because their systems are so automated as to eschew any review that might actually make advertising on the Internet slightly less distasteful (and maybe the FBI wouldn't be recommending the choking off of Google's primary income stream)
It may not be their biggest revenue stream, but I'll bet it's critical to Google for another reason. Advertising is somewhat zero sum. You can invent a more effective way to advertise, but the total dollars that a business will spend on advertising will remain the same, just through the new channel. So how do you increase revenue once you have captured the market? Make businesses spend to defend their own brand against imposters. This is something that didn't even exist prior to online advertising and could get businesses to actually increase their ad spend over what they would have previously. The internet is becoming more dystopian every day.

stopping and crouching make sense, however the mechanic is exploited in a way that doesn't make sense.

you basically move forward and if you see something you want to shoot, you move backward for a fraction of a second. that will cancel the forward acceleration vector much faster.

also another strategy is to find a place covered by a wall, and move left/right quickly. when moving from left to right, there will be a point when the acceleration vector is 0, and that is the moment to shoot.
