No quantum mechanics. Things have concrete properties even when no one's watching, and they can all be observed at the same time. The universe is complex but understandable.

Also, P=NP and π is 3.33 repeating, just for the lols.

How is "being bad" decided?

If it's decided internally ("bad" is what you believe is bad), then all the objectivists get a free pass for being assholes. Hitler is a supermodel, etc.

If it's decided externally (there's an universal definition of "bad"), how far into the future does it propagate? If I rescue from drowning someone who will genocide all the Dutch in the future, when do I go bald?

That said, beauty pageants would be much funnier, with trolley problems instead of talent competitions.

Spacewar! was a F2P PvP game with no microtransactions and no battle pass. Although it's hard to quantify exact player numbers (it precedes Steam charts), for a while it was the most played videogame in the world.

Its real-time graphics and multiplayer combat were very influential, and widely copied by many other games.

That sounds very interesting, do you remember the name or the author?

If you're referring to the US' Video Privacy Protection Act, it was passed only because it slightly embarrassed a Supreme Court nominee.

So for there to be half-decent online privacy laws in the US, first someone will have to leak Clarence Thomas' Pornhub search history or something like that.

The TV UI is horrible and has negative development: Less features and more bugs every release.

Do you want to go to a video's channel? Well, that depends on where you are:

• Go to Home.

• Long-press on a video.

• Press "Go to channel".

• Go to Subscriptions.

• Long-press on a video.

• Fewer options because fuck you.

• Start the video, press down, up, right, select.

• Oh, it was a short video? You fell into the trap! Down goes to another video. Go back, select the video again, press right, right, select.

And that's just one example.

That's how politics work in the US.

Not really, unfortunately. All these "if you don't vote for A you're voting for B" arguments would be a little more applicable if the US presidential election was a simple majority vote, but anyone with the most basic of US politics knowledge has heard of the Electoral College. Hillary Clinton wasn't elected president in 2016, but not because more people voted for Trump.

And that's without taking into the account voting suppression. Would you tell someone who can't vote because of racist laws that they are "voting for Trump"?

I like the ideas behind PRQL, although I've never used it in an actual project. It compiles down to SQL but has a clearer model based on pipeline and a much better suntax.

Malloy is a similar project but I haven't look into it yet.

My hot take: Vi, make and C would have gone the way of COBOL a long time ago if it wasn't for a lot of programmers thinking "my tools are more difficult to use, hence I'm a better programmer".

Regarding the IP address, how are they going to get it? I assumed that servers wouldn't pass them along to other nodes, isn't that the case?

Look up the Everburn Blade in Baldur's Gate 3.

REMEMBER US! REMEMBER THAT WE ONCE LIVED!

Yes, you can manually assign each wheel slot, but when you have a few dozen spells and actions it's really long and boring. I'd like it more if it behaved like the hotbar, with things sorted automatically and space for personal favorites.

You can't multiclass on Explorer, but I think you can change the difficulty while at camp, level up or respec to multiclass, and change it back again.

I love playing from my couch with a controller! I work in front of my computer all day and afterwards I really don't want to spend more time there.

The only problem I've found (besides minor bugs) is that after you go up a few levels the action wheels are a complete unorganized mess. I hope Larian adds some way of auto-arranging them into actions, bonus actions, spells, etc. like the hotbar does.

You can cast a spell tagged as Ritual and it won't use a slot if out of combat, but you need to prepare the spell before. You can change prepared spells at any time outside of combat too.

It's great they increased the caps, but at the same time those materials won't go to the Postmaster anymore if you're at the cap. So if you play multiple characters you can actually store less, not more.

And it's not like they take up physical space anyway, it's just bits on Bungie's servers. Besides FOMO and maximizing engagement, is there any reason for the cap not being 2⁶⁴?

It's the same, but in the US you have to add the sales tax ($2) and then tip at least 110%. That brings the total to $21.

I run my own Synapse server with bridges to WhatsApp and Telegram, along with a few other services, using Yunohost. I haven't observed any huge resource usage, and I like the centralized management/update. One possible downside is that you won't get the latest versions immediately, the Yunohost maintainers take time to test those. I prefer the stability that gives me but if you want to be on the edge a docker setup will be better.

Damn, they fixed Stronghold. I'm not surprised, but being an invincible swordmaster was so much fun…
