If anything I’d say that the lesson to be learned from this should be the exact opposite: No company is safe forever, so you should choose based on how easy it is to switch.

Chaining yourself to a single company all the way from the services you use down to the OS and even the hardware is only making it worse. Particularly when Apple is already aggressively anti-consumer on a lot of fronts.

Why did somebody actively edit out her name?

In this case it was most likely she herself. The original black and white comic has the name, but the colorized version was most likely been taken from her shop (link), which doesn’t feature the name.

I’m however impressed by how utterly the person copying the picture messed up the picture. Not only is the crop completely awful, but they also tried to “restore” the comic by giving it a digital look, over-saturating everything in the process, including the JPEG artifacts of the original photo.

On the other hand, NVIDIA has started to consolidate all these technologies as the NVIDIA DLSS suite a few months ago for some reason.

So it’s DLSS Super Resolution and DLSS Frame Generation, DLSS Ray Reconstruction and so on, with the exception of DLAA. Probably because that would get too stupid even for them.

Ok, I’m intrigued but looking it up there’s apparently a few GitS things in 3D/VR:

1. A 3D version of the live action movie.
2. A short VR experience based on that movie.
3. A 3D version of the anime movie “GitS: Stand Alone Complex – Solid State Society”.

I’m guessing you’re talking about the live movie, but now I also want to know how an anime would look like in 3D.

Year-based version numbers are pretty neat IMO, particularly for applications. Not only can you quickly estimate how up-to-date any particular application is, it also avoids the version number racing problem between competing applications, because some people equate lower version numbers with a less developed application.

For programming libraries though semantic versioning is still the good ol’ reliable.

But also, in a world where such a law did exist, it would naturally force every third-party to create their contracts in a way that would allow the eventual release of the source code, or lose out on the deal and subsequently, the money.

I see you implying everyone arguing against you is either a dumb moron, a child or russians in your other comments, so it’s worthless arguing against your, ironically, authoritarianism-fueled idea.

Bye.

Sorry, but this comment left me completely stunlocked. Why am I supposed to solve the problems to a problem you’ve created? Since when is trying to prove your point not how an argument works? What even is an argument anymore?

So what happens when a platform grows and that threshold is reached one day? Force everyone to de-anonymize and potentially reveal sensitive information about themselves or abandon their account?

There’s just no good way to force only some to de-anonymize without running into problems.

While I believe in the right to online anonymity, I also don’t think that de-anonymization would even work, when I see the same garbage being posted in places that enforce real names. It just doesn’t seem like a detractor to those types of people.

Instead, I’d rather want to see harsher punishments for big sites failing to moderate their content. I’d also take a look at these personalized “recommendation” engine and maybe ban them altogether. (Bonus points if it also affects personalized ads.)

So how exactly would you decide which platforms are allowed to be anonymous then?

It might be feasible, but it’s a bit awkward to implement because Wireguard is stateless and doesn’t know if a client is offline or just hasn’t sent any traffic for some time.

That’s kind of weird, because the reason why I never bothered with (selfhosted) VPNs before Wireguard was because it was the first one that just worked. Granted, due to its nature, you don’t get a lot of feedback when things don’t work, but it’s so simple in principle that there’s not a lot that can go wrong. For external VPNs like this, it should just be: Load config, double-check, done.

Aside from better server side detection, which is I agree is severely underdeveloped, I’d say that the next big step should be a much bigger reliance on reputation-based matchmaking, ideally across games. It would need to be built in a way that’s not abusable by devs or trolls and should be as privacy-respecting as much as possible (as in, not having to validate with your ID South-Korean style), which isn’t an easy task. Working properly however, it would keep honest players from seeing any cheaters at all with no client-side anticheat required at all, which would be nice.

Yup. If it’s important enough that devs now have to add a disclaimer on the store page, surely devs shouldn’t be allowed to circumvent that by adding it later. Since SteamDeck customers are affected by this the most, it’s weird that this isn’t already a rule, particularly for games that are SteamDeck verified.

Yup. What’s wild In particular is that they believe that games like Lost Crown have enough of a pull to convince people to use their store/launcher. That’s something that even the big AAA releases struggle with. When you stubbornly try to do that with a mid-sized game, you might as well cancel your entire marketing budget.

I don’t even have the option to buy some content

For you it’s the general availability, but I also want to put importance on the “buy”: I just want to buy something outright, not pay for a subscription that locks me into using awful apps, enforcing ridiculous rules and giving me a lesser experience than the “free” version.

Or the opposite: We only need one of those randomizers that shuffles the unlocks between multiple games. Just imagine one that incorporates Factorio, Satisfactory, shapez 2 and maybe Dyson Sphere Program. You’d be set for life.

The factory must grow (into other games).

That’s a bummer. I’ve been using the forked version as well, and even that dev has been annoyed with Google Play enough that it’s only released on F-Droid nowadays.

Personally, I don’t think it’s an issue only releasing only on F-Droid, because the people interested in Syncthing wouldn’t be deterred by that if they’re not already using it, but I totally get why that might sap the last bit of motivation the dev has.

I’ve made similar coasters a while ago, just with a stone tile as the base. Despite having to endure a cup of hot tea every day, it’s holding up very well so far and stays clean.

The PETG did minimally deform after months of using it, which is both good and bad. On one hand it’s now formed in a way that perfectly fits the specific cup I use, but that also means that it’s become a bad fit for every other cup or glass.

Your comment about using TPU has given me the idea however to make the tile reversible with the current PETG on one side and Flex material on the other.

I’d be more concerned as well if this would be an over-night change, but I’d say that the rollout is slow and gradual enough that giving it more time would just lead to more procrastination instead, rather than finding solutions. Particularly for those following the news, which all sysadmins should, the reduction in certificate lifespan over time has been going on for a while now with a clear goal of automation becoming the only viable path forward.

I’ll also go out on a limb and make a guess that a not insignificant amount of people only think that their “special” case can’t be automated. I wouldn’t even be surprised if many of those could be solved by a bog-standard reverse-proxy setup.
