Battle and season passes and events can often be classified as ads. (Mainly "live service" games.)

Progression systems and gambling systems are a thing in games but not movies. Often taking away from inherent qualities and intrinsic motivation.

Missile guidance in the Peace section - :yep:

The/In short from Wikipedia:

The Ig Nobel Prize is a satiric prize awarded annually since 1991

• Anatomy: Roman Khonsari, for finding that there is a greater instance of scalp hair spiraling in a counter-clockwise direction in the Southern Hemisphere.
• Biology: Fordyce Ely and William Petersen, for finding that placing a cat on the back of cows and repeatedly exploding paper bags every 10 seconds for two minutes led to them producing less milk.
• Chemistry: Tess Heeremans, Antoine Deblais, Daniel Bonn and Sander Woutersen, for their use of chromatography to separate drunk and sober worms as part of their research into polymer science.
• Botany: Jacob White and Felipe Yamashita, for finding that the plant Boquila trifoliolata can mimic the leaves of plastic plants placed alongside it, leading them to conclude that “plant vision” is plausible.
• Demography: Saul Newman, for finding that many claims regarding the existence of supercentenarians and other extreme age-related records originate from areas with short life spans, no birth certificates, and rampant clerical errors and pension fraud.
• Medicine: Lieven Schenk, Tahmine Fadai and Christian Büchel, for finding that counterfeit medicine that induces painful side-effects can be more effective in patients than counterfeit medicine that does not cause painful side-effects.
• Peace: B. F. Skinner, for his study on housing live pigeons inside missiles to guide them to their targets.
• Physics: James Liao, for his long-running study on the ability of a dead trout to swim.
• Physiology: Takanori Takebe, for finding that several mammals can breathe through their intestines using their anus.
• Probability: A team of 50 researchers mostly based in the Netherlands, for supporting a prediction by Persi Diaconis that tossed coins are more likely to land the same way up as they started after they had flipped 350,757 coins.

lol

I felt strong aversion and irritation throughout, thinking they were unnecessarily making enemies.

They certainly have an extreme view and goal. And are personally invested to the point of seeing fellow collaborators on FOSS as enemies(?) now.

Putting up barriers through segmentation and alternative tech creates silos. To reach new people I don't think we can get around meeting users where they are and what they are familiar with.

Bring value through FOSS, and hint and nudge them. If you meet them where they are and bring them to your software it's already one more than none. You don't need to get them to make a huge leap into a whole ecosystem of alternative software at once.

Their categorical dismissal of other's opinions or priorities certainly felt irritating to me. Maybe they care more about FOSS license than UX or features, but why is that the only correct view in their eyes? Blind users may not even be able to use FOSS alternatives when they lack accessibility features or quality.

Even as a contributor to a project I don't want to use a supportive side platform only for that when it's annoying or cumbersome. I very well may just skip it, or leave as a contributor.

I would have been interested in the premise; why they think advocating and exclusively FOSS is the only correct view and thing to do. The lack of a strong basis also made all that followed more irritating.

Firefox with uBlock Origin, Sponsorblock, YouTube Playback-Speed Control, and a Nyancat Seekbar (I guess the last part is not that important to me)

I've skipped signing up via email to be able to read articles because that, apparently, that also includes signing up for a newsletter.

it revealed a number of organs including blood vessels in the brain through the scalp

I'm confused. There's a skull between scalp skin and the brain, right? o.O

What does one have to do with the other?

Yes, I do. What info are you looking for? You didn't even say.

I know the Mumble and SoftEther VPN projects use them for hosting their website/project hosting.

Do you think they see it the same way? "life down the drain"?

They still worked, got experience, got paid, worked on something, maybe even well and satisfactory even if overall direction and combination isn't.

I don't think calling it "life down the drain" is fair or good. As if that were all that mattered in their lives.

Typically, for any game that has a campaign, I would consider completing that completing the game.

That doesn't mean you can't continue to have fun in endless modes or multiplayer. That's a different orientation.

For multiplayer games, there's no completion really. Play the tutorial? All maps once? Win once? Ranks? Endless leveling progress? All achievements? None of those really fit. There is no completion to a game without designed, completable progress. If there's a max level, one could consider that a kind of completion. All achievements may subjectively fit too.

Microsoft maintains a modern fork of Mono runtime in the dotnet/runtime repo and has been progressively moving workloads to that fork. That work is now complete, and we recommend that active Mono users and maintainers of Mono-based app frameworks migrate to .NET which includes work from this fork.

What's left for the mono project then? What's Wine's interest in it?

Psych system? Political theory?

I enjoyed Psych, the TV series.

it's not hard to find them when they're selling fake reviews as a service

The article teaser beginning should make that clear as well

I played Alba last saturday. Very good! Very cute and charming.

we could see other PSU makers follow suit in switching to Cybenetics

It would certainly be great if all did. But I doubt that will be the case.

Only the best have an interest in switching.

But maybe that's good enough for now. The PSU market has a good number of alternative manufacturers, and those that care will drive demand for this information. Maybe those targeting the enthusiast market won't be able to get around providing it.

Its still the same extension, same source code, same logic, just less capable

the same… but not the same… ??

I think the technologies are quite different.

uBOL is entirely declarative, meaning there is no need for a permanent uBOL process for the filtering to occur, and CSS/JS injection-based content filtering is performed reliably by the browser itself rather than by the extension. This means that uBOL itself does not consume CPU/memory resources while content blocking is ongoing -- uBOL's service worker process is required only when you interact with the popup panel or the option pages.

Are you claiming non-lite does the same, plus more?

You say it's the same source code, but it's a different source code repository. non-lite, lite.

It also comes first in the alphabet.

They wrote in the article that it rose. That was part of what they wrote about.

I don't see your point.

Ascendence of a Bookworm is a very good anime and is sourced from a manga. The main theme is not magic, but it's an underlying and secondary theme.

Magical girls as in the transformation superhero kind? Or just girls using magic?

it's squishy

Doesn't help me on Lemmy/Beehaw

It's not very readable

If I were looking at a mastodon instance I may expect and accept. But here on Beehaw it's pure noise. Not a good interfacing like this.

the most relevant:

To take advantage of the vulnerability, a hacker has to already possess access to a computer's kernel, the core of its operating system.

For systems with certain faulty configurations in how a computer maker implemented AMD's security feature known as Platform Secure Boot—which the researchers warn encompasses the large majority of the systems they tested—a malware infection installed via Sinkclose could be harder yet to detect or remediate, they say, surviving even a reinstallation of the operating system.

For users seeking to protect themselves, Nissim and Okupski say that for Windows machines—likely the vast majority of affected systems—they expect patches for Sinkclose to be integrated into updates shared by computer makers with Microsoft, who will roll them into future operating system updates.

wtf is that title

Title doesn't parse markdown links. Maybe drop them?

notably

Windows is not impacted by this issue.

quoting the main, critical part:

1. Under public domain (.com), the browser sent the request to 0.0.0.0.
2. The dummy server is listening on 127.0.0.1 (only on the loopback interface, not on all network interfaces).
3. The server on localhost receives the request, processes it, and sends the response.
4. The browser blocks the response content from propagating to Javascript due to CORS.

This means public websites can access any open port on your host, without the ability to see the response.

How does it determine better results? oO

That's the problem with most marketing. Unspecific, raising questions rather than answering them. Being vague and only positive-formulated rather than presenting information.

Sounds interesting!

We've also used Godot. As for sound design, I voiced the sounds we put in - frog ribbiting, jumping, and tongue slurping :P

I can definitely see how Godot without scripting experience/expertise would be hard to get into.

I found the UI of Godot awful. And the entire node system quickly leads to a mess of mixed concerns in structuring logic and elements. As a software engineer I am mindful of structure and can - at least for myself - keep at restructuring when elements, logic, and relationships change, but I felt like the entire system was not guiding you to well-structured components concerns. The GDScript casing difference to C# and docs and the lack of braces for code blocks were to my dislike too.

That being said, Godot does have a lot of features and allowed us to move forward quite well. Just with occasional stumbling.

Wikipedia has an article on Polymer fume fever with some sources you may find more trustworthy or definite.

Sorry for the reply being so late :)

Yeah, game jams typically have a theme that is revealed when it starts, and then a limited time until submissions end. Can be a day, a weekend, or longer, even significantly. The one I participated in was two weeks, and concluded last Wednesday.

Our game Frogventure (more like a prototype anyway) is a side-scrolling jump-and-run. The jam themes were "Shadows and Alchemy" (which can be interpreted broadly and non-literally). You play as a frog and save tadpoles by collecting them and putting them in safe puddles. You run and jump. You eat insects to transform your abilities. Higher jumps, hiding under a leaf, tongue-grabbing.

My friend and I are actually both programmers, so that part wasn't a problem for us. :) We didn't have real gamedev experience. It was a lot of fun, very interesting, and surprisingly productive. It's great how iterative and with visual and experienceable results it is. (Quite contrary to software development lol)

I was about to write I haven't heard of Revita, but I own it on Steam. I haven't played it yet.

Your game sounds like a lot of effort. Good luck :) Do you have any concrete planning or milestones you are tackling now?

What game engine are you using for it?

This. Yoku is a great game. If it piques your interest, play it!

Good to hear you have a few days off to recover :)

March is so far away still D:

That sucks.

Talks without any documentation is as if it didn't happen.

Nothing.

I participated in a game jam, which ended wednesday. We submitted tuesday evening, in a satisfying state. It's a prototype, it doesn't have to be perfect, or complete, or thorough.

We die invest time, but I don't consider it crunch.

Work has some high priorities but nothing immediate pressuring.

And private, no commitments or short term must either.
