I feel like translating country names is a bit icky, like translating somebody’s name to a local language, feels like cultural erasure… But it seems like a necessity when certain names can’t be written in other alphabets or even pronounced in certain languages.

Oh lord, I think they’re bundling it with a steam link and calling that a steam deck too

if it didn’t invent grip buttons it was my first exposure to them

Ironically, I think it was those very buttons that infringed on a preexisting patent and led to Valve getting sued

If I’m understanding correctly, it’s a noncommercial variant, so if you use these files to design a custom replacement shell, you can’t sell it, right? Seems understandable, but a bit of a shame.

How do we know they don’t store copies of the keys?

I don’t know how Signal is built, but you can establish a secure communication channel through a channel that’s being listened in on, meaning the server doesn’t need to ever see the keys. Look up Diffie-Hellman for an example, an algorithm that lets two actors establish a shared secret without communicating enough information to reconstruct the secret.

So if the client uses a secure key exchange algorithm (or straight up asymmetrical encryption) the server can’t just grab your keys - you just need a secure way to verify that your keys actually match, because what they could do is a man in the middle attack where they establish a secure channel with you and the person you’re messaging, and decrypt and reencrypt messages going both ways, being able to listen in and modify messages.

That’s presumably (and hopefully) not GenAI, but a much lighter classification model built with the sole purpose of judging if an image is problematic, I have no problem with those.

To be clear, I was referencing this: https://clickhole.com/heartbreaking-the-worst-person-you-know-just-made-a-gr-1825121606/

It’s not the same thing as the post, but I think it’s pretty negative about that.

That’s some “The Worst Person You Know Just Made A Great Point” energy

It’s just a shame I hate raisins and most of them have those. Absolutely do recommend though.

Replying with an unspoilered image of a spider to what is quite possibly an arachnophobic declining spiders seems like a bit of a dick move

I feel like that’s something Kirby already does tbh

One thing is that pet groomers will recommend grooming kittens so they get used to the experience, so that if they have trouble grooming themselves and need help it’s less stressful for them to get washed, dried, all that stuff. (Though this is coming from the groomers who get paid when you do that, for your consideration)

Regarding the last paragraph, developers have adapted, and now include more complex/obscure secrets meant to be shared by people and solved together. Though of course if players just look things up before even trying then you can’t stop them, but that’s their own fault.

The modern scourge are dataminers, who will immediately jump to digging through game files and spoil puzzles in the communities trying to solve them. Not all of them will do that, but it only takes one to ruin the fun.

Also Tunic is an absolute banger of a game, would recommend, just don’t spoil yourself!

Worth noting is that you can also get factorio DRM-free on the website, and then downloading mods is locked behind logging in with your account - same as playing multiplayer on online-mode servers. But mods are also just zip files that you can also download from the website (still need to log in and own the game), so same as games with steam workshop, people will share mods same as they share game files.

If that’s too inconvenient for you to pirate, well, “piracy is a service issue” ;)

Opinionated sweater is when somebody offers to refund the sweater they gave you as a gift

Despite having Table in the name, FAT isn’t a table, but rather uses a table, and FAT itself is a filesystem. Thus, it’s different from a machine with “machine” being in the name or a number with “number” in the name, and it seems entirely reasonable to refer to the crucial index table in the FAT filesystem as the “FAT table”

Not the wrong place if you want to comply with the law, as he explains in the PR comments, the law requires the installer to prompt for age when creating users.

It’s more like “Arch Linux breaks if you don’t update for too long, then try to naively update without knowing what you’re doing and without checking the arch news for breaking changes”. Which is more breakage during updates than stable distros, but absolutely manageable.

I think the “independent” label might be more about the decision making being dependent on an organization?

This is also a meme community and those charts are never that serious, and considering people will disagree about the placements anyways, trying to have more precision might be pointless.

Okay, but MacOS doesn’t work on everything because Apple doesn’t want it to. They want you to only use their devices, and only run their systems on them.
