HellDivers 2 LFG rn is all about sharing Friendcodes... you can get a ton of them on discord or reddit... but then you end up haveing a "friendcode" cybermentally-distributed DNS system for them over time.
Six degrees will still exist.
(funny weird thing is that with HD2's server issues due too demand, one way to harvest this would be to create a fake LFG host game and have tons and tons of accounts bang against your HellDiver-Pot - and get whatever you can scrape from that?

OK - I actually went down this hole the other daty... you look at the reddit thread on helldrivers for LFG - or the discord...
So on reddit, you just put .json at end of thread - DL the entire thread as json, now you have reddit id, location, play style, etc, details AND their friendcode on HD2...
but since they can individually generate random friend codes on any game/system that allows such... you have a breadcrump (with enough attention span to just correlate all the shared info between these friend codes and data received...
still - even with random friend codes - six degrees is still available, easily.??

I deeply hope they do a Tech Talk on the post-mortem of this lauch success spiral - its fascinating....
But one thing I am really interested in, this is based on the Autodesk Engine, I know they co-dev-dog-fooded, but I hadnt really known of this engine at all... what little I do know, is that - its amazing...
But I'd really like to know more about the arch and overall traffic flows etc of this game.
Its beautiful see "problems" like this explode in like ~2 weeks.
What do internet traffic graphs look like since growth, per carrier?
This is why thos who make plastic products shoul be held to greater account...
Wht saddens me, and I seem to see lit. nobodoy talking about is our glamourisizing 3d plastics printing of billions of arbitrary objects - and where these plastics will end up in the ecos...
3d printers (I have an ender3) should be urged to have a recycling platform.
Personally - I want a 3d recycling machine which will shred HDPE, melt it to pellets and make a filiment extrusion for the 3d printer.
We should have the 3d printing community building recycling stations from 3d filiment and object fails etc... and try to close the loop as much as possible.
(lookng at you cosplayers of microplastic contamination for internet points)
Been there - but it still sucks !!! as a commentary of our society - and our inability to make lasting things for long-term FEAR OF LOSING PROFIT.
Every first-world item made should have a 2nd/3rd world plan for it.
When your comfy butt is done with thing - you should be able/required to hand-down iten to next party, and you should be happy paying the premieum to use the item freshly new, as well as be happy that you cared for it such that the next person still gets an appreciated object.
THE LAST THING we need is for a primary buyer of [THING] to think the *next step* to their use is trash/landfill.
If you disagree with me, hand me the hammer that you have in the garage from your great grandfather and maybe then he can knock some sense into to.
I usually carry 3 sets of tabs, typically around ~10 each:
Personal info sites, like reddit and its links...
Tech Sites, like HN and its links....
Video Sites, like Nexflix / Prime...
EDIT:
Also - what tab-mgmt extensions do you use? Like Tab Grouping etc...
Also - one of the things I attempted to do, but failed to do so consistently, was to swipe to a different desktop between, work, person, and learning/browsing... instead of tab groups I had "workspaces" but that is a hard habit to build, for me, it seems.
WTF happened to all the THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS of machines I deployed to datacenters over the decades? Where are the F5 load balancers I spent $40,000 on per box in 1999?
I know that when we did Lucas' presidio migration, tens of million$ of SGI boxes went to the ripper. That sucks.
edit:
All these machines could be used to house a 'slow internet' or 'limited interenet'
Imagine when we graduate our wealth gap to include the information gap - where the poor only have access to an internet indexed to September 2021 - oh wait...
But really - that is WHAT AI will bring: an information gap: only the wealthy companies will have real-time access to information on the internet - and all the poor will have outdated information that will have already have been mined for its value.
think of how HFT network cards with insane packet buffers, and private fiber lines gave hedgies the microsecond advantages on trading stocks...
Thats basically what AI will power - the hyper-accelerated exploitation of information on the web via AI - but the common man, will be releagated to obsolete AI, while the @sama people of the world build off-planet bunkers.
I am constantly dumbfounded with the fact that the majority consumer of memory on my machine is a FN web browser! (that said, I *do* have basically like 30 tabs open at any given time...
(It would be cool if dormant tabs can just hold the URL, and kill all memory requirements when dormant after N period of time..)
But heck, even when I am running a high-end game on my machine, the memory consumption is less than when I have a bunch of tabs open displaying mostly text ...
I am extremely adept at talking to strangers, and I think its fn great to be able to chat-up a stranger and get to know them. it builds humanity and CO-munity.
I learn so much from others and I have a profound skill for just meeting a random and then being able to relate to them. most people are really surprised at my breadth of knowledge - and the thing is my breadth of knowledge is DUE to the fact that I chat so many people up to know them.
I thrive off talking to randoms.
EDIT: im lucky that I also have a good street smarts and I know what strangers to avoid
Why does the robot have to handle all the "edge cases"???
That seems really stupid to think that the robot must be able to build the whole thing or it's useless.
Just have robots put up large, long, straight walls. Have a separate one for curves, or a special one that only handles corners etc...
Or have a robot that just preps the brick with correct amount mortar and hands the brick to the human for placement, maybe there is an aligning contraption (doesn't have to be a robot)...
I have always been amazed at the number of brick buildings that exist and think about the fact that every single brick you have ever seen was manipulated and touched by a human hand.
TRILLIONS of bricks through the ages.
I'm equally surprised that I have (not that I recall) seen a brick building being laid IRL.
