I have been playing since 1.5 and agree. I personally don’t care at all about skins, and just want to play the game.

It’s fine to have some cosmetics, but the economy Valve had created brought so much toxicity to the game.

FFS/FFS2 has been reliable for me, but unfortunately don’t have reliable power. It does frequently require fsck -y on boot. It’s not the most pleasant with my headless units requiring a serial cable.

My solution has been a huge UPS so they never turn off. Softupdates prevented this issue for over a decade (?), so hoping we get HAMMER2 or something down the road.

I’ve been running OpenBSD continuously since 3.4, and no other OS beats it in simplicity IMO. The upgrades have ticked along quickly and flawlessly year over year. I wish more systems would take a page out of that book and implement something like sysupgrade.

I prefer it simply due to Apple’s privacy record.

IMO it’s better than Signal as far as UX goes with enough privacy to be practically for everyday chat. I actively avoid WhatsApp because Facebook. They recently changed their privacy policy to no one’s surprise.

I feel like a hail would cause a strong radar return that would have been noticed or at least documented by NEXRAD or onboard systems.

I’m sure the NTSB investigation will consider this angle, and we will find out eventually.

I’m not sure about f-droid specifically, but I know in the USA, 18+ content online is now required by law to have age verification in many states.

I’m not saying I agree with the rules, but we do have these categories requiring age verification now. They also seem to be arbitrarily applied.

I’m just advocating that violent texts like this should also be included rather than treated specially.

Totally agree. They should be flagged 18+ and required ID verification if we want to play on a level field.

In this case, it should be easy to detect genetic or biological material if it was a meat sack strike & rule out space debris. They don’t tend to do well when hit at several hundred mph.

The only other thing really up that high would be space debris, weather balloon payload (the balloon itself is very thin and soft), or maybe a sounding rocket (but don’t these come with NOTAMs?).

I wonder how fabrics will handle the mechanical wear vs the durable tape “track” used in a traditional zipper

I just meant having UUIDv7 internally, and UUIDv4 externally if date leakage is a concern (both on the same object).

UUIDv7 still works great in distributed systems and has algorithmic advantages as you have mentioned.

Our “distributed database” at a fortune 90 company spans at least 10 different database products.

UUIDv4 lets us sidestep this.

Is it bad design? Probably. Is it going to happen at huge companies? Yes.

I still feel like calling something like uuid.v4() is easier and less cognitively complex.

Clearly you have thought a lot about carbon reduction, so I have a question for you.

Is a plug in hybrid or EV less polluting if you don’t have rooftop solar?

edit: I think I know the general answer, but I’m splitting hairs comparing a replacement car for an ICE vehicle that I have.

The pf language is also shockingly readable for a firewall config

I’ve had this happen to numerous friends.

Haven’t you heard? The best way to contact gmail support is by posting about it on tech websites /s

It’s sad that I often see resolutions happen here after an engineer scrolls through the comments. I agree that not having backups and your own domain is asking for trouble the way things are currently structured with online mail.

I will say that I hosted my own servers for years, but it’s a lot of trouble and not for everyone (plus, I could never quite get the spam filtering tweaked how I wanted).

Agh. That’s what I meant.

What I was trying to ask is if you took pre-antibiotic staph and resistant staph, rolled back in time and infected two people, would one be worse than the other?

ie - are they harder for the immune system to fight, or just resistant to antibiotics.

Is it really true that we have “worse” viruses, or that they are adapting to our modern antibiotic regime & reverting to the status quo?

The enshitification of search engines is driving me more and more to LLMs for all their warts. I can usually force them to provide sources and do my search that way.
