Zelda combat gives me way too many heart palpations. I also tried for like 2 hours to take down a guardian with shield blocking (eventually did) and I really don’t think I got any better at it.

I really enjoyed the Ultima games, especially VII Serpent Isle. Got pretty far on VIII but that one was pretty buggy and froze too much for me to finish.

I got a lot of use out of Google Translate for text.

Easier said than done but don’t be on your own. Stick in groups of 2 or more friends. I got bullied in middle school because I really didn’t have many friends in my classes. In high school I joined ROTC, which typically means every squad member is your friend, and I never got bullied because they all had my back and I had theirs. Well, I might’ve been “bullied” a bit by superior officers but that’s kind of built in to the program.

Choking on dog food?

Get passports for yourself and family now. After the election (if he wins) I’m guessing there’s gonna be a huge backlog.

Sounds like the US if every day was The Purge.

I’ve always wanted a setting to create a lockdown key and an unlock key. So something like middle-finger to unlock but index-finger to force it into PIN/password only mode. So you can have some convenience of a quick unlock but if an authority figure asks or forces you to unlock it you can one-tap lock it down.

Getting regular people to host a service exposed to the Internet is going to go very smoothly I’m sure.

Fffffffffffuuuuuuuu

Don’t disagree with the sentiment but I didn’t think companies had this much leeway in how their ads were displayed.

Parachutes by Coldplay was a really good kind of alt-indie-pop album. Much more stripped down than the rest of their catalog. Everything since then has either been overproduced or soulless.

Blue Lines over Mezzanine? I usually mention Mezzanine in threads like this because the fact it was released in 1998 really doesn’t come across at all.

Makes me feel a little better. In 2024 I Can’t get a “Windows ready” Bluetooth dongle to be recognized by my still supported Windows computer.

If trends continue, open-source solutions will be at this level within a year if not months. At that point you’re free to “watermark” the content or not.

Not only could it lead to thousands of jobs being cut (it takes more than just actors to make a movie) it also makes it dead simple to put real people into a video that shows them doing something illegal. Grainy security cam LoRA anyone?

Theranos : Evolution

Okay, finally ran into a conflict that I noticed. Wonder how many passwords I’ve lost throughout the years. I got back the account that was swallowed but I’d much prefer this didn’t happen in the first place. Other than making it a habit to sync (with syncthing) before editing a database it doesn’t seem like there’s a built-in solution for this. The problem is that keypass always performs a two-way sync (sync two files, modify two files). Guess I’ll see how hard it would be to make a one-way sync plugin or if some other variant does one-way.

They told the AI it was going to get locked up with the viruses because they had evidence it was generating CSAM.
