Adam Something does fun videos where he picks apart techbro innovations and points out that what they are suggesting as new future transport tech is nearly always slower, more expensive, and with less capacity than a train. he has particular distaste for Musk and his projects.

just like all evolution trends towards crabs, all techbro innovation trends towards trains

Bugfixes are great, I care less about adding new graphic upgrades. I care a lot about them releasing more robust mod tools.

I want to be able to edit the world and new areas and content more than have the graphics modernized with cutting edge tech.

Oh not as long as original Dwarf Fortress, that’s for sure!

I had a friend who has some experience explain how to navigate the interface, and generally what each resource does, and after an hour or two of fussing about I got used to it. Some times I will misclick, because right click is sometimes “go back” and sometimes “show more detail” but aside from that its easy enough.

The core mechanics are very easy. Conquer provinces to increase your domain, build stacks of units to fight battle and test different strategies for what works against what.

I can go into more detail if you like?

I’m getting into the Dominions series, recently picked up Dominions 6. You take control of a faction and try to spread your pretender gods influence enough to ascend to be the one true god. Combat is auto resolved but you can watch the combats and the mechanics are very detailed. I made a god that was a sentient glyph that bestowed fire resistance and flaming weapons on my faction of desert dwelling spider riders. Another time I was a sentient fountain of blood with innate abilities to raise an army of mindless skeletons so I could stack troops in masse.

Its a little clunky in the interface but once I learned what did what it because very engrossing

It would remove the Latin language packas well because its specifying the --no-preserve-root flag.

Actually I’d worry that it might purge language all the way back to Indo-European, but if it means getting rid of French, its a risk I’m willing to take.

The only time I wash chicken is after cooking it, and when I drop it on the floor and thing “eh, I can still eat this”

That’s the american governments rules yes? I’d imagine its not too different for the Italian government.

Presently probably not a huge amount, but its an easy thing to disseminate once it’s figured out.

You could keep a hash of a photos EXIF data so that the same photo can’t be used for two different reviews, to prevent spamming, but that’s a whole other set of questions and problems to build a solution for storing that.

It’d be a fun problem to work on, but wouldn’t ever be 100% secure from exploitation. Might be a fun weekend project to get a proof of concept working.

Totally invasive idea here but just spitballing.

Take a photo at the location, upload photo so that EXIF data can be used to geolocate you at the business you are reviewing. Photo doesnt have to be used in the review, just as a passkey to verify you were St least present at the place you were reviewing at least once.

Cons: faking EXIF data let’s people review places they never went to, sharing a photo with a horde of review bombers so they can all upload it and still reviewbomb the place

Fun thought experiment.

But what about all american county boy Todd Bonzales? Hes just a teenager in american high school who secretly had the power of Trucks and County Music and Cowboy Hat.

If you’d like to see a version of King Of Queens/Everybody Loves Raymond done really well for the modern age, the show ‘Kevin can Fuck Himself’ does it amazingly. Its a single camera sitcom from the dopey husbands point of view, and a dark, moody drama from the wife’s point of view. 10/10 television.

I hope it doesn’t eat into devtime on Stationers, I love that game, even if I’m terrible at it.

Ive just started in a government IT role; everything is windows, I use windows myself at home for games, but run WSL for hobby dev, home server management and stuff like that.

This is my first sysadmin role, having come from a Dev background, and administration on windows feels like such a chore. Everything takes ten steps to do, lots of issues, and feels very counter intuitive. I am not enjoying it at all. I suppose actual large scale Linux adminning probably has the same issues and I’m putting it down to lack of experience, but there’s so many small niggly issues that I know I could solve if this was a Linux environment that I can’t due to how windows is set up.

I’m hopefully getting to move into a more hybrid dev/admin role for some web stuff, but I firs thave to convince my boss to let me install WSL so O can have a sane dev environment for web dev.

Fill just enough water in your pot to cover them, and give it a swirl. Empty out the water. Do this two or three times, I usually do three.

That might be what the disagreement here is. The sentence is very ambiguous because its not literal, though it can be read literally as you did. The poster is saying “I’m the dumb one for being the only one working in valve who is reachable by the public directly through social media.” Your interpretation isn’t wrong, but without the wider context of shorthand speech patterns you get from English as a first language, it can be difficult to figure out the implied message. English has a funny habit of saying one thing, but meaning another thing.

Is English your first language?

What is Genesis?

I mean, I dont disagree that the concept is insanely idiotic but all they’ve done in the purge is take the concept of a pogrom and applied it to modern day america. The premise isn’t that rediculous. It has happened, in real life. Yeah they’ve leaned into it, and dialed up the crazy fevor a bit, but its not so removed from real life accounts of pogroms.

Oh you fucker, its been over ten years. i just lost The Game.

You’ll need to get WinAmp installed then my friend.
