I've not played a lot of these games, but it was primarily Kings of Chaos. Different factions with different bonuses is pretty cool, and I always chose dwarves due to being a very defensive player. So an idea to fit your theme is something like Italian family, American family, Bosnian family, or something like that?

EVE Online has the best player-based economy imho, and I think an economy like it where anyone can contribute and benefit is pretty cool, even cross-faction.

To mitigate cheating/macros/sweaty players, I think there should be either some timers to actions, but this is an incredibly fine balance to not turn off players' engagement. A puzzle/mini-game to grant additional free resources can help the casual players to remain engaged, like how Kings of Chaos had a captcha for recruiting (userscript was used to speed up the process, and become the unofficial standard), and EVE Online had the "analyze the signal" kind of mini-game that yielded ISK.

I think the amount of time to be spent when you log in should be generally limited to about 10 - 15 minutes. You heal, recover from attacks, buy new upgrades/restock, and then do things like initiating an expedition, spend your available resources, and then let it go like 8 - 24 hours before energy and such are filled again.

Player interactions are important, and being able to make either one time deals or recurring deals that involve something like "If you attack my enemies, I'll give you a bonus/grant you equipment" or "Whenever I'm attacked you will spend 20% of your defensive capabilities to add to mine" etc. And of course with simple trading too.

A "vacation mode" like the one Kings of Chaos had I think is very important, that essentially freezes all your passive gains and progress, but you are made immune to attacks and sabotage (making a manual progress-action requires you to disable vacation mode).

Risk-reward should be available in all tiers, to cater the most players. E.g. low-risk expeditions where the gains are low but steady, not reducing or resetting progress, and high-risk stuff that could potentially cripple your enemy, but could also cripple you.

And of course, have a solid mobile interface, as that is likely where you'd get the most traffic these days.

I hope my feedback is good, and I wish you good luck with your project!

I'm curious, but have many questions. It's a fork of LibreWolf, but what made a fork necessary, apart from using ESR instead of RR?

The FAQ describes in some ways how it's different from LibreWolf, in addition to pulling from other projects like the Tor Browser, but I'd love to see some near-exhaustive spreadsheet or table of features and functionalities that differ from the various projects.

What is the motivation for users to switch away from LibreWolf? Who is the team behind Konform, and how can one trust this team to build a "better" (depending on what you value) browser? And furthermore provide a consistent and safe development distinct from other browsers?

Unfortunately there are people whom grief, so you could put your efforts to maintaining the art that already exists

Not all systems have the preserve-root flag enforced, actually... I accidentally did the rm -rf / in a bash script (the variable for the path returned empty), and it irreversibly deleted a bunch of my system, including sudo and a big part of /etc, before I realized and did Ctrl+C. However the damage was done, rendering the system both unusable and unbootable. Fortunately I managed to recover some data, as the drive was not encrypted.

Edit: Yes, like a fool I ran the script as sudo... I am now older and wiser.

Iirc, it was Debian 10 (Buster). I thought they enforced it (rm did support it at the time), but perhaps it was tricked by using an empty variable or something?

It's fun that one can use games for it, but it shouldn't be difficult to do the same through AI-generated imagery either, which isn't much more difficult.

Even though this method is flawed, one shouldn't really use ID-only verification either imho, as it's a security risk to upload any official document like that (ref. Tea app leaks).

The whole age verification that the UK wants to impose has been quite the impossible task from the beginning. Creating government-backed education for (future) parents about how to raise a kid and protect them in today's digital society would be more efficient than this, if we really are thinking of what is best for the kids. But alas, there are zero requirements to become a parent...

An attacker could trick a user into clicking a malicious link inside a Markdown file opened in Notepad, causing the application to launch unverified protocols that load and execute remote files.

"launching unverified protocols" - does that mean the network fetching is done by the Notepad app, and Notepad doesn't open the browser for this..? If so, bloody hell, Microsoft...

It might be considered sexist, depending on who you ask.

The amount of males being falsely accused of sexual assault is much lower than the amount of females being exposed to sexual assault. Hence why there has been provided a measure for women at this scale, and not for men.

This is something I'd love to have for the past decade or so, but as I'm now transitioning to Linux I hope to not have much of this problem anymore.

Nice of you to create this though, and I share your tiredness of settings being changed behind our backs...

Ah, makes sense, kinda. Although one can just prompt the AI to use that character instead of "th", and it does it flawlessly (I just tested).

As biber@feddit.org pointed out, this 1000-fold increase is compared to barium titanate by itself, not to standard silicium solutions. However, it's still worth pointing out:

Panels made with this technology could be much more efficient and require less space than current silicon-based solar cells,
(...)
The material is also simpler to manufacture and more durable, as it does not require special packaging.

This is pretty cool tech! However I wonder what is going on with their proofreading - there are typos and double words in the article. How does this slip through in a company like Time?

I don't understand, what is YSK about this? This is US politics, and doesn't provide any good content related to this community as far as I can tell.

Unsure why you're getting downvoted (this is "No Stupid Questions", after all), but I'll give my 5 cents:

Reason 1:
The people is essentially the reason why a government has power. Without the people (and their support), the government governs a whole lot of nothing, and they will be forced to do labour themselves.

Reason 2:
Poisoning the water is not very accurate, and may lead to both the death of many whom already are supportive of the government (which will create distrust), and people only getting sick depending on the amount they drink (the dose makes the poison).

Reason 3:
Despite a population having a lot of dissidents, these people still work and contribute to society in some ways. It has to get pretty bad before it will be "worth it" to remove them from society.

Reason 4:
Even if it's so bad that you're looking at an open revolt against the government, poisoning the water will only really yield MAD, which is usually undesirable.

Ultimately, it's unlikely desirable for any government to do this, as there are better ways (for the government). However, there have been some attempts at genocide through water supplies before, so it's not completely unheard of. Check out Project Coast.

When there's no particular need of high definition (nothing here that is small or hard to see, nor particularly pleasing aesthetics), the gains from a big file falls away. And the upsides of a smaller video is that people with poor internet speeds can stream it more easily, and it takes less space on the servers (which are not free to run here on the fediverse).

Worth a smaller file size imho

[Meta] This is a great high-quality comment with proper references! I personally really appreciate the effort of elaborating on media articles that are often sensationalist or clickbaity. Keep up the good work!

I don't get how this kind of law goes all the way into law. Yes, there are many tech illiterate old people making laws, and yes there are a lot of powerful tech billionaires lobbying, but still, are there really no roadblocks for them?

This law is unenforceable, and it's going to be abused by authorities.

As far as I can tell, most Norwegians know the difference between Kremlin and the Russian people. Nevertheless, in a teaching environment it might be particularly difficult to navigate given the political picture. What subject, may I ask? If it's a subject like history or philosophy, that can be pointed in a direction of "swaying people's opinions", you might be in for a hard denial.

I think the best you can do is simply get in touch with the university; send them an email, and be transparent and honest. You won't lose anything from humble requests.

It's impressive to see that they save in the money they spend on licenses this quickly! It's a little bit of work to transfer the current systems and get used to a different system, but it's very doable it seems (albeit over years of work), as well as economically attractive. I hope this inspires the rest of the country!

First time I hear of the group, but I find there to be such irony, how Kremlin reasoned that they entered Ukraine in order to de-nazify it, only for actualy neo-nazis to fight alongside the Russian military...
