It seems weird, but it’s just small scale Donkey Kong
We had Donkey Kong 64, then Donkey Kong Country Returns, now Super Mario Kart (which DK Jr was in).
I wouldn’t be against them making their version of games in rapid succession like Donkey Kong Country 1 (1994), 2 (1995) & 3 (1996), or also making Banjo Kazooie (1998), Donkey Kong 64 (1999), Banjo Tooie (2000). But it’s clear they just can’t make as many games that fast, so we get just one every few years.
Exactly. A “gamer” is too broad of a definition to really mean anything if it just means “people who play games”. I watch TV/films, but that could mean anything. Reality? Horror? Non-fiction? They’re all different. I read books, but that could mean anything. Sci-fi? Fantasy? Biography? Poetry? They’re all different.
I do think competitive versus non-competitive is a good dividing point. I hesitate to use the word “cozy” because I don’t think Dark Souls players are playing a “cozy” game.
But even within competitive there are distinctions to make. Children playing the lastest FPS and screaming into their headsets, probably less inclusive. The speed running community, generally very inclusive.
I agree 100%. The hardest part when it comes to learning programming in learning how to break problems down into simple little if statements and loops. Once you get a solid handle on any one language, jumping to another is much easier. So pick whatever you’re most comfortable with, or whatever tutorial/learning you find best.
It’s important to differentiate between being a monopoly, and engaging in monopolistic behavior.
Valve, to the best of my knowledge, isn’t doing anything that prevents or stifles competition. As a monopoly it’s important to investigate them from time to time to ensure this remains true. But if they’re just putting out the best product and everyone is choosing to use them, then it’s not really a problem.
Toy Story, when Woody reveals himself to Sid.
From now on, you must take good care of your toys, because if you don’t, we’ll find out, Sid! We toys can see EVERYTHING! So play fucking nice!
It’s because, due to how ratings are determined, you are limited in how you use the word “fuck”. You can’t say something like “We should fuck” or “And then we fucked” because that would be “too sexual”. You also can’t use it as a direct insult and say something like “You’re fucking stupid”.
You could probably get away with something like “We’re fucked” because it’s general enough. You could also do just a general “Fuck” in response to something bad happening.
So “Open the fucking door” works because it is directed at the door, which is fine.
*(Note, film ratings are mostly made up. If you’re a big studio with a big film you can probably negotiate to use fuck however you want.)
It’s a Treehouse of Horror, the one with 3D Homer.
You could definitely make 2e a little more user friendly by skipping THAC0 and just having big numbers be better like everything else.
So as another comment pointed out you don’t need to give your user account access to docker in this way, it’s an optional step, but one that I suspect many people do (since it’s part of the official docs).
What the LLM has done is silly, but completely possible. It climbed through the window that you left open.
But let’s jump to a different scenario, the ping command (on Linux). That’s a perfectly harmless command, right? You just want to say hello to another computer and see if they say hello back.
Except that historically the ping command was something called “setuid” which means when it ran it ran as root. It ran as root because in order for ping to work it has to create a special type of network packet that only root can create. But if you’re root you can run anything! So in theory ping opens a huge attack surface. If you have to worry about ping then is everything too complex to be manageable?
Luckily, as I said, this is a historical problem. The permissions ping needs have been moved to a specific capability and the command changed to utilize it and now ping can just run as a regular user without root privileges. But you can’t just make that change overnight. It takes a lot of time and effort.
So could the same be done for docker? Maybe. A rootless version of docker already exists. If you actually wanted to do what the LLM suggested, that wouldn’t work with a rootless docker, at least not without a bunch more configuration (and even then maybe).
So is security hard? Yes. Is it impossible? No.
That’s fair. So it’s more like you already have a door on the second floor, that door is unlocked, and a ladder in your garage.
In this case the LLM knows about the ladder, but you forgot about it because you’re talking about the fridge on the first floor.
Sure. So we don’t know the original question but we can see that changes were made to SDDM, which is basically your login screen. So the original request was probably something like “Can you change my login screen to do something cool?”
Now, the configuration for the login screen is located in /etc and requires administrative privileges to change.
The query was run by the user account and not an admin account. Typically to run something as admin you use the command sudo which will interactively ask for a password and then, if allowed, you can run the command as an admin.
However the tool docker, in order to function properly, has the ability to run commands as administrator and won’t prompt for a password.
So basically what happened here is instead of asking for a key to unlock the front door to your house, it installed a new door on the second floor, went through that door, rearranged your refrigerator, went back out the door it created, and then patched up the hole perfectly.
I can only assume anyone who doesn’t like it hasn’t played it. It’s a platformer racing game, which is rare, but excellent.
They actually added a bunch of new default skins a few years ago bringing the total to nine, Alex, Ari, Efe, Kai, Makena, Noor, Steve, Sunny, and Zuri.
But I’m guessing he’ll just also be Steve, but British.
…Matt Berry, who is also coming back for the sequel. They suggested that he’ll appear in live-action form this time after lending his iconic voice as Nitwit in the 2025 film. Berry added that he’s “not allowed to tell you who exactly” he’s playing, but a joke about a shirt that “Steve would not be wearing” may contain a few clues for fans.
Another Steve? Herobrine?
And importantly Matt Berry as… maybe Steve?
Based on the video it seems to be shooting with a bunch of cameras/angles, and then in the editing room just rapid firing between different angles/cuts. They use the classic “Taken” scene of having rapid fire cuts of Liam Neeson jumping a fence.
This video is highlighting the importance of planning your shot and having proper composition.
I definitely agree that some people take things too dramatically. People love to say something is a 10/10 masterpiece or (more commonly) the worst movie ever made. There is plenty of nuance and in between ratings, and it’s also fine to judge a film overall by what it was trying to be.
I think it’s fair to discuss and criticize films, even if they are “just for kids”. Plenty of children’s films have a deeper story or teach a lesson. Look at Illumination’s first film, Despicable Me. The film is full of heart, but it’s also got comedy.
It’s also fine to enjoy something and criticize it. I enjoyed many different scenes from the Super Mario Galaxy movie and I think any Mario fan will enjoy watching it. But is the movie ultimately forgettable? Also yes.
My immediate thought, there is no way Yahoo! Screen survived into 2019.
I looked it up and Yahoo! Screen (which featured Community season 6) was shutdown in January 2016. But Yahoo! View launched in late 2016 (as a Hulu-like replacement), and that did shutter in mid 2019.
So Yahoo! was already dead, but it also died for real in 2019.
