I think a possibility is a series of open source anvil or nixos scripts that you can run on most hardware with minimal changes, in an extendable architecture of some kind to add or remove functionality and they perhaps get maintained by the community or some structure of the kind of Linux distributions.

This could enable people with minimal skills set up and maintain a reasonably useful but secure environment just by changing a few variables.

I’ll believe AI can replace engineers when I see NVIDIA firing them. But like the graphic says, the manager’s job seems a lot easier to replace instead.

Perhaps this was written much earlier than v5.

Maybe this is useful https://tunnelbroker.net/

Same. If a newbie can’t get stuck inside, is it even a text editor?

Sorry, probably not.

This is meant to run hosted (like a website), so it needs a server setup.

If it all sounds like gibberish then you don’t understand what a lamp stack or a docker container is it’s unlikely you’ll be able to install it on your own in a way that is useful or that you can maintain for security.

You could possibly hire someone to install it on your behalf - but given that it’s dealing with your finances I would be hesitant to do so.

If you are on Android try the Cashew app - has a paid tier but it’s unlikely you’ll need it and is minimally intrusive.

The Organic Maps app implementation is pretty neat.

All business models are aimed at company profitability. Customer satisfaction is an expensive early necessity which you can largely do away with as you become entrenched.

I’m wondering if Dorsey has any stakes in Telegram’s crypto bullshit…

Unless you want a hosted solution I find pdf-arranger to be lighter and self contained.

It’s not so much honesty as much as trying to stem the bleed.

A CEO has a fiduciary obligation towards maximising the profits of the shareholders of his company first.

Another comment here said how they needed money and expertise from Sony to roll out a game that could support concurrently the number of players they do support and how Sony is collecting their dues.

However, the fuckton of hate that’s being piled on now goes at least partially on to the developer which puts a wedge in the previous alliance.

As a developer, because of the demands of the publisher, they’ve gone from a position of such extreme good will that they had only blue skies in front of them - heck they could have crowdsourced their next game with ease and people would buy it sight unseen, meanwhile I bet Sony would be considering buying them to become in house studio, MS has a history of scooping such studios also - to revulsion and betrayal.

It also opens up a strategic vulnerability for a different developer to white knight the now proven market.

That’s not good news for the shareholders and future prospects and the CEO is trying to stem the bleed without pissing off the publisher. Seems pretty tame to me.

I’m assuming it’s aimed at people trying to avoid tying the hosting IP to the publicly consumable service.

Untrackable might mean you get lumped with the worst actuary table in terms of risk as an unknown quantity or as a form of pressure to let them track you or as a way to create a defence moat of people (your rates will go up like these untrackable vehicles) if the government tries to intervene to stop them from basing rates to tracking.

I was scanning it for the “we’ve been played for ABSOLUTE FOOLS” part.

…the itch wasn’t scratched. :(

Try CloudFlare Turnstile - a lot cleaner than recaptcha.

I liked the game, great atmosphere and wide variety of location settings, I think it can provide a solid base to build on without being overly prescriptive or having a super fanatical user base - for a good film production team that can be a great framework to jump off of.

I usually phrase it as “it’s one more app on your phone and it doesn’t ask you for anything, it’s really not that big of an ask”.

Wait, so the family chose to keep two people out of the loop until they caved and bought new hardware instead of adding one more app that would be common for everyone and give everyone the option to use whatever hardware they wanted?

More likely they’ve been inundated for years with complaints from developers in the big studios about how fucked they feel, and they feel the industry has gone to hell with microtransactions, so they keep on propping up Larian as an antidote to the general rot.

Not sure it will make a difference until big studios games stop selling, some government intervention in the microtransactions (likely) or work conditions (unlikely), developers unionize properly, or the field is seeded with more studios like Larian so that more developers and gamers have more choices and the big studios are starved.

No probably about it.

Mechanical watches lose 10-15 secs per day which declines as they get older or aren’t serviced, a $40 Casio might miss 30 secs per month, never needs servicing other than a battery change.

Mechanical watches are no longer utility items, they are fashion items that happen to tell time.
