Just wondering what people are using to meet the 2FA requirement GitHub has been rolling out. I don’t love the idea of having an authenticator app installed on my phone just to log into GitHub. And really don’t want to give them my phone number just to log in....
Checkout infosec.exchange instead of blocking Threads, the admin made a second instance for people who wanted Threads blocked. Like 40 people migrated, lol
“I don’t think it’s nice to federate with a company that has been cited in multiple independent reports of massacres/genocides,”
And I don’t think it’s nice to take the choice away from users. I can block threads all on my own – I don’t need a nanny who doesn’t even cite their sources.
I love when people conflate rights and ethics. I agree with you that no one has a right to be listed on Fedi Garden. And I still think it’s not nice to pressure admins into taking choice away from users.
Your entire comment reads as a refute of OPs criticism and an excuse for Meta’s actions. If you were agreeing with OPs criticism, you would typically use phrases like “only five years”.
Thanks for your comment. I usually travel alone and was like “why would anyone subject themselves to AirBNB.” I appreciate the context and perspective.
Interesting article! I can’t tell from the post, though, is this due to a limitation on bots in Matrix or that no one has invested to make a similar bot for Matrix?
Because Sweet Baby Inc is known for forcing a narrative and tokens into the writing, for the sake of diversity on the cost of quality of the story and the characters.
Where is the proof of this beyond speculation? I can’t think of a mechanism through which a consultant can force anything. Their contracts would undoubtedly have an NDA that would prevent them from sharing which of their recommendations the client acted on or not.
While I agree with you that shoes are a basic necessities, I bet there are a bunch of families that can afford $60 shoes for their kids but not $600 shoes. This kid is a genetic outlier and that makes this one of those situations where a community can come together to help someone with a unique problem. His community donated $12k before Shaq got involved, so Shaq’s charity is just icing on the cake. Also worth noting that Shaq has done work to make shoes more affordable for all people but it’s an unreasonable expectation for him to stock every Walmart with Size 26 shoes.
this could not be timed worse for Tumblr which is in huge hot water with its userbase already for its CEO breaking his sabbatical to ban a prominent trans user for allegedly threatening him (in a cartoonish manner), and then spending a week personally justifying it increasingly wildly across several platforms. the rumors had...
Fun fact, it’s been two different groups of people in charge! Yahoo! was responsible for removing adult content and then sold it to Automattic for pennies on the dollar. Automattic then went through several rounds of different poor moderation before the CEO himself stepped up to share GDPR violating information on Twitter. Now we’re adding AI!
Yet another “brilliant” scheme from a cryptobro. Naturally this caused a gold-rush for scammers who outsourced random people via the gig economy to open PRs for this yml file (example)
Dude also used a LLM to generate descriptions for the packages he’s serving from his package manager. And of course, it got them wrong, creating a headache for the actual package maintainers
Yeah. I worked for a SaaS company that had two rounds of layoffs because they hired C-suite executives who were better at talking than building software or running product teams.
One was let go in the layoffs – but given a book of clients to start a competing business. The other is still there holding pointless meetings that keep people from getting work done.
Well, you should have taken 16 seconds. Because two words later it says that she also identifies as pansexual. And in the article quoted, she refers to herself as queer. So BQ+
Are you really arguing that “Amber Glenn becomes first Bisexual, Pansexual, and Queer woman to win U.S. Women’s Figure Skating Championship” would have been a better headline?
You made choices and got the results of those choices. The alternative results are different.
!There are multiple endings where Karlach survives in different ways. Shadowheart’s story has at least three possible outcomes, maybe more that I haven’t seen. This goes on and on for each origin character. Even NPCs you encounter in Act 3 are shaped by your choices earlier in the game.!<
Frankly, based on your description, it sounds like you made a bunch of lame decisions. There’s neat endings and then the middling one you got.
“Should we not be buying VW, BMW, Siemens and Bayer technology and products today because they participated in holocaust and directly collaborated with Hitler?” – CEO of Kagi when given feedback re: Brave partnership
We as a society have never had to try integrate a group that presents concerns that actually affect other people. Black people in the states were just black people,
You couldn’t have shown your lack of knowledge of history more perfectly if you tried. Have you ever heard of the term segregation?
The developers behind DayZ and Rust have taken to X/Twitter to troll The Day Before developer after it announced its studio was closing its doors following the release of The Day Before.
Steam is offering refunds. Do you honestly think Valve is going to eat that cost while paying out to the devs? If someone bought the game elsewhere, do a chargeback.
There’s no reason these devs should see a shiny penny from this game.
If the AI for the ghouls from Danse Macabre is any example, they make stupid choices. The ghouls can be standing next to an enemy and waste their turn with Dash to get to another enemy.
It’s pretty clear that Redeemed Durge Tav is the canonical Tav and the most interesting. All the other versions are bland in comparison.
But you can definitely get some of the interactions you’re looking for by playing an Origin character. Playing as Karlach, I definitely created non-canonical interactions with the other Origin characters.
Honestly, given the heroic / chaotic good slant of the game, it’s actually pretty annoying to play the edgy DUrge. Playing it but making all the good choices is heavily scripted and pretty nifty.
The “Sync Contacts” setting is weird. You can toggle it on, but it doesn’t gain or ask for the OS permissions on Android. There’s a brief message saying you have to give it the permission. No idea why they didn’t just use the built in SDK to ask for the permission.
The inventory management isn’t great, but between sorting by weight and latest, plus the text search, it didn’t hinder my ability to play. You basically just have to ignore the visual inventory in favor of those options.
Pretty much the subject line. uBO has successfully blocked the nag screen enough times that I can’t play anything at this point. No preview loads, and the play button serves no function. I’d really prefer not to have to find content on YT, copy the URL and use Piped/Invidious, but this ongoing escalation is steeling my...
Even with the time they had, you can tell that Act 3 didn’t get nearly the love that Act 1 did. I imagine anything done in a rushed manor won’t have the charm.
Preach. The Act 2 to Act 3 transition is brutal. >!The BBEG is marching on the city. Better stop to catch a circus act and have ASMR sex with three hookers.!<
