The encrypted files are very suspicious and, in the new canary, they removed the part that stated they didn't receive a gag order: https://web.archive.org/...

It's possible that it's Vincent's way of warning the users of a gag order. He may be an insufferable edgy little twat but he cares a lot about transparency and, had he received a gag order, he would definitely try to communicate it

Maybe I'm just being paranoid, you tell me

Here you go!

Great games that came out in 2024:

• UFO 50
• Peglin
• ANIMAL WELL
• Balatro

2024 games that I haven't tried yet but seem promising:

• Pepper Grinder
• Yellow Taxi Goes Vroom
• Lorelei and the Laser Eyes
• Rabbit and Steel
• Another Crab's Treasure
• Felvidek

All are in no particular order. Dunno if you'll like those but these ones come to mind :)

Nothing forbids sharing US news in this community. Anything interesting on the globe goes afaik :)

Also while many countries don't have inequality issues in the "highly privatised health care" industry, I genuinely can't name a single country without inequality issues and Luigi's story may be inspirational to some of these ppl facing inequalities so imo it's good to see it shared here!

The origin of the maid dresses is actually kinda neat iirc! Japan is obsessed by medieval western nobility so they ended up opening nobility-themed cafés with maids and butlers (but mostly maids) which became insanely popular. So much so that many artistic medias including animes started integrating maids and butlers (but mostly maids) inside their stories.

Basically, it's kinda like us with ninjas and samurais afaik.

For the bunny ears? Maybe a fetish thing idk. Probably related to the japanese culture of adoring anything cute. Bunny = small animal => cute => popular. Dunno why. Maybe I'm wrong tho.

EDIT: Not medival. I'm misremembering history (see below)

No censorship here. Could've guess with the instance's name but still good to know! Thanks :)

TL;DW from my vague memories:

Oracle got the trademark for JavaScript because they bought the company who made it. Now they have no involvement in the JavaScript ecosystem aside from making a library that barely anyone is using. The JavaScript standard has to refer to JavaScript as ECMAScript because Oracle doesn't want anything to do with it and won't allow other people to use the JavaScript name.

The Node.JS/Done guy says that's stupid and had been requesting Oracle to release the trademark into the public domain for years which Oracle had always ignored/refused. More recently, Node.JS/Deno guy took Oracle to court for holding onto the JavaScript copyright with no intention of doing anything with it which ended in failure with Oracle claiming they're involved in the ecosystem thanks to that one library they made.

The guy who created JavaScript agrees that's stupid but can't help.

I mean…

Make sure that your device is not 'rooted'. If the operating system is an Android variant (also called a 'custom ROM'), such as LineageOS or Pixel Experience, then the wero app can’t be installed for security reasons.

(cf. https://support.wero-wallet.eu/...)

I can't use it but it looks neat! I hope these companies will one day realise that requiring the user's device to be an opaque jail controlled by a usually foreign third-party isn't good security practice :/

Sorry to butt in but why is my fellow waffle's demand not possible? :(

NSFW is how you tag stuff that you don't want your colleagues to see on your screen at work: it's not just for porn!

Included pic of rubber duck of peace as proof of goodwill:

It was in the post's content. Is it not visible on kbin maybe?

These poor souls stayed on the Gopher protocol... Their families never saw them again :(

Yes! uYouPlus is amazing although it can be a pain to install because of Apple's shenanigans. It's a collection of patches over the official YouTube app

Preposterous.

Just like humans, waffles are social creatures. They simply rely on toppings to become a better version of themselves. They are accepting of all cultures, be it sugar, syrup, chocolate or even strawberry jam. This is because as Friedrich Nietzsche said: "There are no eternal facts, as there are no absolute truths." One topping simply cannot be the true topping.

Once a topping is placed on the waffle, it becomes part of the waffle. Part of its taste, part of its existence. It completes it. Therefore to say that a waffle is bland because it has no topping is like saying that a human is incapable of anything because you once saw a lone human in nature get eaten by a wolf.

Waffles are a reflection of humanity and you are simply running away.

No. If you want to run an algorithm you should run it on your computer and not on somebody else's.

Ignoring the fact that having a proper recommendation AI for every single user would be environmentally disastrous, it would also place much more burden on the ones hosting instances. Keep in mind that most instances are hosted by people who do not earn anything from them and that many bigger instances already had to rent bigger servers because of the influx of people. Adding computationally expansive algorithms in the mix would just increase the cost for the volunteers on top of signing the death of some smaller instances run on a tight budget.

It would also be prone to recreating the SEO mess that we can see today on social medias like youtube where, if you want to grow your community, satisfying the algorithm becomes more important than the actual content of your posts.

However, I would have no issues with an algorithm that a user of an instance could run on their devices and tweak to their liking. This solution would probably be less convenient but would avoid most of the mess.

EDIT: Sorry if my comment came out as too aggressive and thank you for making this post. I think that's an important issue to discuss and, as thanks for bringing it up, you have my upvote :)

"For the last week of this year, we are shutting down our stores, warehouse and offices in the United States and Canada because our people need a break."

That'd be my take as well: imo this anon is taking part of a truth and turning it into an extreme. But I'm curious as to what other people think about this :)

47% of the total playing time on Steam was spent on games released in the last one to seven years, while a sizeable 37% of time was spent in games that have been out for eight years or more.

Also with all the recent Concord-style live service fails maybe investors will want to fund other stuff from now on? idk

Many things still don't have a XDG portal like reading absolute cursor position (useful for some accessibility and productivity apps) and things who do have an XDG portal like screenshoting are usually not implemented in popular OS-agnostic libraries

Those things aren't supported in XWayland either for security reasons iirc and require X11 but I could be wrong

I've tried both and ~/.local/bin tends to be used by a bunch of tools to install their own binaries/scripts so depending on what you use it can become very messy (which did happen in my case). I used to have a ~/Documents/Scripts directory in my $PATH and that was much cleaner than my current setup so that's what I'd recommend, especially if you want to use Git with it! :)
