I have just made an account after quite a while as an occasional reader because I feel the answers here to be lacking. Presumably you're all reasonable folk and just don't have the same experiences as me, so I'll share. I saw one other person mentioning it - hey, to that person.

There is an actual answer to your first question - only use software from F-droid. It's the opposite experience to the "Play Store"; they actually have your interests at heart. All software I've added to my Android device comes from the F-droid repositories - my Android isn't connected to any Google account, I deleted and disabled all system software I could - and they've got some totally wonderful games too.

The worst I've experienced is downloading a game and then it not being a great game, or a bit buggy, and then deleting it. It's a far less common experience than the game at least working and being testable, and anyway, this is fa-aa-ar better than having no idea if there'll be random pop-ups and ads and tricks and nonsense at any time.

Examples:

+ Puzzles :: 39 single-player logic games. I've brushed off a few of these only, but I went through an absolute love-affair with Net. Don't judge me until you've gotten an under 3-minute score on the wrapped 11x11 board. I'm thrilled even to get to lay down that gauntlet on a public forum, it was days of painstaking tile-sliding.

+ Cards with Cats :: I love the card game "hearts" and am a relatively strong human player, and I have to play my absolute best or else the cats lick me. There's "spades" also but I've never played the game.

+ TIC-80 :: I was so shocked no-one mentioned TIC-80 in particular... It's a sleeping giant here. There are loads of games, it's an absolute gold mine, I wouldn't know where to begin! It's "a free and open source fantasy computer for making, playing and sharing tiny games". You can code your own games and graphics in Lua and get involved, it's very easy.

+ Pixel Wheels :: This is a top-down retro car racing game. The business. The feel of the motion is weird for ten minutes, then you get it, and suddenly you're zooming around like a nutjob putting in gold medal performances.

And various others I will eventually get around to trying hopefully, which maybe someone else has played and can add their experience on, such as:

-- AAAAXY, a "nonlinear 2D puzzle platformer taking place in impossible spaces"

-- Battle for Wesnoth, a "turn-based strategy game with a high fantasy theme"

-- Chip Defense, a "tower defense game with a microprocessor theme"

-- Endless Sky, a "space trading game"

And on and on. In summary, ditch the Play Store and get F-droid if you want high quality games with no ads, spam, loot boxes, and other nuisances.

I don't think this is some insurmountable technical challenge, just a design decision.

Many MMOs have persistent mobs and dungeons even if a player disconnects. PoE will keep your instances open for at least 15 min of inactivity, for example, so you can leave and come back if you need to. Keeping an extra instance open for a few more minutes isn't a big deal.

Even in D4, the world doesn't reset if you disconnect (like if and you a bunch of strangers are doing a world boss or world event). Maybe solo dungeons would, not sure. But in general it's not a big deal for a game like D4. If it resets you just go back in. Not like they take more than 10-20 min anyway. If you die you just respawn (unless you're in hardcore).

It's probably not a resource constraint, just a missing quality of life feature in D4 like so many other little details they neglects. For a game that took a decade to release, it sure feels incomplete and rushed.

Right, I think the article would completely agree that society as it is right now is not a broadly accepting place for males to be open about their emotional needs. Which is why the call to action isn't for males to be emotionally open in general, but for fathers to try to have more positive and supportive interactions with their sons about emotional needs.

And why the article's guide point is 'Encourage them to share their struggles — with you, of course, but also with other trusted adults, a therapist or even friends.', not 'Encourage them to share their struggles with all their acquaintances'.
It's unfortunate that you're (willfully?) uninformed to such a degree that you perceive these passages as slighting your identity or something, but what they're saying isn't controversial scientifically.

Why is the microtransaction economy illegitimate? I’m not a fan of Blizzard and I have no interest in playing Diablo IV (or any of their other recent games) but I fail to see your point.

Diablo IV players want the microtransaction economy. They hated the cheating in Diablo I & II. They want to know that items they purchase from other players are legitimate. They want to be able to participate in PvP without worrying about other players cheating to get the best items.
A buddy works on offshore rigs around the world, and it got me thinking.

I wonder, for every one gallon of gasoline I pump into my vehicle, how many were used to extract, refine, transport, store and pump it. I'm assuming it's at least 10 to 1. Maybe even 100 to 1

I bring this up because the company will fly him from anywhere in the world to where they want him to work, chopper him out to the rig, etc. etc. All of that gas consumed to get ONE worker onto the rig.

This is a crypto phenomenon. Porting crypto’s corruptions of financial and economic terms, from Ponzi to inflation and market cap, given the benefit of hindsight, doesn’t make sense.

No matter how many parameters you give it, it’s still just predicting the next token is most likely, given the training data. The number of parameters is what gives it the ability to pattern match a wide variety of inputs and generate acceptable outputs, but it doesn’t give it any reasoning ability. It can indeed capture textual associations, like the fact that the sequence of tokens “mingle the bits of two 16-bit numbers” is commonly associated with INTERCAL. It just has no reasoning ability, so it cannot recognize that it has incorrectly associated it with the % operator. It just didn’t have anything with a higher probability.

I run a /23 in my primary "home" VLAN specifically so I could allocate 10.x.y.0.

All of my hosts are named after pokémon, and use their pokédex number as the last byte in their IP addresses -- except for one host, which gets the .0

A /24 on its own holds all of generations 1 and 2!

Kill Siri (2022)
Because the game should be separate form my real life.

If I can just swipe my credit card to win... it takes the joy out of it for me. I can do that in real life enough already. We aren't talking about "a lot" of money to your average adult. It's not impressive for someone to spend a few hundred bucks -- but it really is impressive if someone earns 300k gold all by themselves in the game.

I don't want to play a game where paying real money is even an option. What you have in the game should represent your skill, talent, knowledge, and social skills / communication skills. Not your willingness to spend real money on a video game.

Back when the game was real, I didn't know anyone who bought gold. I'm sure they existed. But in Classic, the very first PUG I joined sent a link to a Discord where they were like, "Hey buy gold, everyone is doing it!" And it just felt perverted to me. I get a lot of gaming is based on real money now... and that's a huge reason I don't play many video games any more.

That will not happen.

You can't just allow banking and financial software to be run on a compromised OS. It is great for you but terrible for older people who would be exposed to rampant criminal fraud.

The better approach is to force OEMs to support their phones for longer. 10 years is realistic.
His point is that there's a pretty common journey:

- Newbies see .0 and .255 as special

- We learn about CIDR, and there's nothing special about a .0 in the middle of a large block.

- Then we get zapped by weird connectivity problems or tools that don't let us enter the address because it fails "validation," etc.

Then we think... does our DHCP range really need to cross the boundary when we have a /23? Maybe we should just have two DHCP ranges with a little hole in the middle. It's less than 1% of addresses...
You can implement those features and keep an offline-capable single player mode. Just allow characters to be offline-only at the time of character creation. I've never been interested in the online parts of Diablo, and I've skipped this game because of that.
Cargo-nocode: Write nothing; deploy nowhere

Both :) the standard unit Of time is a dit. A dah is 3 dits long. 1 dit between each element (so s is ... But 5 dits long because its on, space, on, space, on). 3 dits between letters. 7 dits between words.

When people make the dits too long or the dahs too short (c vs y), or run characters together (ee or i?), it gets hard to copy correctly.
Sounds a sensible policy to me!
I've been summoned by the police because of a "dot-zero" address on one of our servers.

Someone had been buying stuff online with a stolen card and the shop admins provided a list of the IP addresses used, including our server's. All the addresses were dot-zero addresses, so I assume it was just some kind of unfortunate obfuscation.

So true. I have no problem with using and paying for a hosted, "cloud" version of the product if a self-hosting option is available. It reassures me that I can rely on this product, while not being vendor-locked.

I've certainly seen many different licenses used in COSS projects, including different mixes of them. E.g.: for my latest project I've decided to use mainly AGPL-3.0 (a pretty strong copyleft license) with specific parts licensed under MIT.

That said, my goal wasn't to limit the usage, but to be open-source, and provide self-hosting option (the 2 fundamental advantages you can provide to your users by being open-source, IMHO), while making sure nobody just runs the product on their servers, rebrands it, and sells it to others as a service (which, while possible with other licenses, is simply unethical in my book).

This post is from "1 hour ago" as I write this comment...

I've noticed on Instagram, if someone's been offline for 1 hour 59 minutes, it says "Last seen 1 hour ago", which for my definition is not 1 hour ago.

For 2 weeks that's a lot of range (14 to 20 days), it seems like it would make sense to say "2 weeks ago" for e.g. 14-16 days, 17/18/19 days ago, and "almost 3 weeks ago" on day 20...

I should have stated this outright; I don't think you were being aggressive or mean at all. You very clearly laid out that they were not in fact establishing a preference, and genuinely 'getting over yourself' is the only course of action when people are genuinely feeling discomfort from seeing people unlike them.

I'm not a strong male, so it's not slighting anything.

>It contradicts even the most basic of common sense

It doesn't do that at all. The most obvious example of this is unemployment. When men lose jobs, they are at much higher risk to slide into social isolation, drug use and even suicide. Anti-social behavior among women in those situations is much less common.

Young men without perspective likewise are much more likely to turn towards extremism, violence and so on. Most 'incels' or shut-ins are men. Most violent criminals are men, most gang members are men.

Men, especially young men are much more vulnerable to exhibit maladjusted behaviors and that's both backed by common sense and data.

How did Hetzner become aware of the notices? Were they CC'd to them?

I ask because I'm building a web site currently hosted on Hetzner that will provide access to files that have fallen into the public domain, but also files that for all intents and purposes appear to copyright orphans. I will take down anything where an entity asserts a valid copyright against anything where a mistake has been made, but I don't want Hetzner just arbitrarily shooting down my site.

Energy has to go somewhere so it ends up manifesting itself in behaviors that are deemed "disruptive" (really, not sitting still and being unable to concentrate on tasks). That's the beginning of the slippery slope toward "toxic" masculinity traits (such as healthy competition).

Maybe it's something that female administrators and teachers fail to understand. Or rather, willfully ignore trying to push a certain (extremely liberal) agenda on captive boys.

The skill bars or skill meters are completely useless because one person's 10/10 is another person's 2/10. Moreover, the more junior the engineer, the higher they score themselves in their discipline.

I am an older engineer and I would rank myself 6-7/10 in most aspects of my work, even if I have architected and built some trend-setting systems in my corner of tech. I have never seen a junior score themselves so low on average.

My experience is also that companies that care about these things (where hires are mainly filtered by HR and not SWEs) tend to build very mediocre teams. I am probably old enough to eschew the whole resume padding or prettifying thing all together. My last resume was written in Notepad, and it worked just fine for its purpose.
