Competitiveness and skill-based matchmaking is what killed multiplayer gaming for me. It used to be you were good at a game or bad at a game, and you could always tell yourself you lost matches because too many really good players happened to be on the other team. Now there are only two options: you play better than you did yesterday and you win, or you play worse than you did yesterday and you lose. I despise that constant pressure. I want days when I get rofl-stomped by a team of demi-gods, and, dammit, I want to occasionally be the one doing the stomping. That just doesn't exist anymore. You're playing with a bunch of people who are about as good as you and if you don't try your hardest you're going to lose every time.

Nah. Most "nutritionists" are clowns. Anyone can call themselves a nutritionist with no formal training or certification. The whole field is mostly filled with frauds and grifters.

There are some legitimate people with a Registered Dietician credential who can work as part of a care team to treat medical conditions. But most of us don't need them either. We know what we're supposed to eat, we just don't do it.

I’m honestly just mad listening to these dumb fuck takes. I’m done. I’m tilted.

This is such a stupidly thought out vision. BotW is a beautiful game that emphasizes minimalism and simplicity and you’re wanting to cram shit like this in.

You can’t do those things because that’s not what the game is about. And if you could do those things, it would be a different fucking game, and the magicalness of the world and the ingenuity of its game mechanics would become nothing compared to your “limitless player narrative agency”

I think your takes suck and have no basis in the reality of plausible to implement technology but this one really crosses the line of just being irritating to imagine asking for. This is the polar opposite of BotW’s design thesis and I hate you for tainting it.
Yeah. Although I'm sure you can get closer to the phone photo in real life if you're somewhere very dark and near the poles.

Does anyone know a minimal, alternative licensing solution appropriate for a tiny startup? One where the license key is the only form of user authentication. Is there a cheap service available? Or is it easy to roll a custom solution.
>Those goddamn Wayland devs and their individual free will.

That's not the problem. The problem is all the heckling for everyone to switch to Wayland, and to make it default. And also pretending that reversing the "mechanism, not policy" wasn't a fundamental change of philosophy and was just "progress".

And to be clear, by "at worst" I meant "this is the least-charitable interpretation".

>Nah, this is an ecosystem maturity problem that is improving rapidly.

TinyWM is 50LOC and wlroots's TinyWL is 900LOC. This hasn't changed. Writing Wayland compositors is a pain in the ass compared to WMs.

Wayland started in 2008 IIRC, so here in 2024 Wayland is 16 years old. It doesn't have teething issues, it just has issues.

Plenty of WM makers have just straight-up said they won't ever port their WM to Wayland (so talking about time and how "X is older" is irrelevant here), because Wayland's opinionation breaks too many things.

>One of the biggest pieces of “jank” replaced is the nonexistent security model.

You mean like how X clients can read keyboard inputs? There's so much FUD around this. /dev/keyboard does that already, you need to sandbox every app anyway - at which point your sandbox should just interdict the X interface. Security is the worst argument. Wayland isn't necessary for security, and for the longest time it's been locking the door and leaving the window open. Portals.
Ubuntu 18.04 LTS went EOL in May 2023 for anyone not paying Canonical for ESM, so their choice to not build for it seems entirely reasonable.

Why not upgrade Ubuntu instead? Surely you can get the benefits of new security latches and other software updated as well? Indirectly then uou get this version of Jellyfin?
That is what genocide means [1].

> In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:

> (a) Killing members of the group;

> (b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;

> (c) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;

> (d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;

> (e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.

Israel has (a) killed members of the group, (b) caused serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group, and (c) deliberately inflicted on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction, by e.g. destroyed hospitals, cultural centers, whole neighborhoods etc. preventing food and fuel from reaching Gaza, thus causing a famine, etc. And Israeli officials have made statements and actions to reflect that statements which makes it reasonable to infer that they are doing this with the intent to destroy Palestinians in Gaza as a group.

The according to the definition of genocide, and according to past convictions for the crime of genocide, targeting every member of a group is not a necessary condition for genocide.

Finally, regarding the Ramallah raids, in very few places does throwing Molotove coctails at law enforcement in protective armor get you killed. Palestinians are one of very few groups who get killed for this relatively harmless—though violent—crime. Almost every other group, would get arrested and maybe a felony charge with a very minor prison sentence at worst. That said, I don’t believe Israel is committing a genocide against Palestinians in the West Bank. That is a crime which Gazans are the sole victims of.

The distinction you're trying to draw between the US, where privacy is supposedly protected by legal processes, and China, where the government spies on its citizens, is not tenable after all the revelations about extensive government spying in the US.

Snowden showed that the US government was secretly compelling all the major tech companies to hand over vast amounts of user data to the NSA. This is formally illegal, but it has now been going on for decades, and there's almost no way to challenge it.
I've been messing around with Bun, esbuild and TSX templates for generating static sites. Bun feels like the future.
This is a great idea. Hopefully we also have LLMs fact checking and flagging Wikipedia articles.
Another confounding variable is that we got so much better at testing many things that we have people living long enough to clearly manifest problems that may not have decades or centuries ago.

Society & world has a necessity to not anchor itself to a distant past. In general I believe free software is moving at a bit more incremental pace, with some noticeable new innovation sprinkled in. But a 4.15 kernel from 2018 really is from a before time, before things started settling down. I have no respect for preserving those systems. Anchoring ourselves to the past is antithetical to open source's strengths.

Now, with algorithmic ally driven feeds, a dying media apparatus clamouring to maintain relevance, it’s easier than ever for foreign state actors (and domestic ruling classes) to exploit genuine civil expression of dissatisfaction for division and a partisanship.

Google search being "great" wrecked the fun of stumbling to the information. The only place where you still get some sense of the nostalgia of discovery is going down the rabbit hole on a topic on wikipedia. And though it's close, it's a bit sterile and contrived. The problem is as less of us cataloged the web the popularity contest didn't make sense... now we have 10 page articles for a recipe and that's sort of sad.

Your “clarification” was to post a famously ambiguous sentence. It’s trivial to parse that as the militia being regulated, not the “bearing arms” part. Especially since it’s explicitly stating that the right “shall not be infringed”.
OK, I apologize in advance for being "that guy" but I feel compelled to ask: are there any practical applications of this, in the sense of applications of the normal calculus "derivative" (eg, slope / "rate of change"). That is, would I ever calculate this "derivative" to solve any kind of real world engineering problem or anything? Or does this serve solely in the realm of pure (theoretical) mathematics?

The idea is that due to exponential growth, amortized over long enough times, the utility of a person's happiness right now is 0 compared to the utility of filling the planet with lets say hundreds of billions of people with barely alive standards of living. Even if an individual persons life is 100x worse than present day, it doesn't matter since there are billions more of them.
