My guy, the line is a status symbol one earn by paying bonuses up front or letting their company pay.

There is no greater good here. Line cutters aren’t somehow immoral.

If everyone boarded in logical patterns of staggered odd window even window odd middle even middle odd aisle even aisle boarding, with no pairs or groups allowed, you’d be on to something.

But it falls apart the moment you look at how it’s actually done. Status and rewards, and seat class, then whatever is left. Cutting in line because you didn’t spring for an $80 seat upgrade that amounts to “better” padding in the headrest and 1 extra inch in your legroom is insane.

An online database is still a file ultimately. A SQL or other DB file stored in a webserver, accessed through a web interface.

Vaultwarden, etc, are the same, only the database file is less directly visible IMO. Keepass IMO is simple. The DB in a bespoke format, stored outside the application.

You could put the vault in system32 and name it “trustedinstaller.log”, and if someone saw you had keepass they wouldn’t even know where your vault is.

Given the number of well documented breaches of online password vaults, I would much rather do a private device to device sync via syncthing and keep it out of webservers.

Syncthing is encrypted transfers.

The database is encrypted.

And you can set it to not use relays for data, only matchmaking between your own devices.

So it’s an encrypted file, encrypted again, and sent directly from an IP you own to an IP you own.

F-Droid syncthing-fork is still actively developed and had a patch in the last few weeks.

So hopefully this isn’t the end.

Keepass vault synced over syncthing.

I keep not regretting it.

He defines that as wanting to be in control of the project so long as he has the passion to work on it solo. But it’s somewhat implied that if he had to let it go, he may open source his work. I can understand that. DrO was one of the primary and most prolific Winamp plugin devs back in it’s heyday as well. So if you ever used Winamp itself (closed source) you have already trusted his code on much more vulnerable OSes, imo.

I feel like he’s earned the limited trust this requires.

The speculation is wrong.

If your hobby is making Paper Maché Owls, and one day Hobby Lobby calls you and threatens to sue you in criminal court for millions, or you can silently stop your hobby?

Unless you have millions to burn, you give up your hobby, because it’s not worth ruining your life over.

Well, given the very unorthodox nature of it as it is today, I don’t know that Dr0 can legally open source it until he’s finished replacing literally all legacy functions with new code, even if they wanted to. But I can understand your position.

Replacing native Winamp code with modern code with frequent updates by one of the most prolific classic Winamp developers.

It’s fantastic.

Google has also made unwelcome moves recently indicating they might crack down on sodeloaded app stores. So I’m glad this ruling happened.

Well they have structured the Remaster as a DLC upgrade that requires the base game license.

So they would have to delist their new listing and create an entirely new release.

Honestly 99% chance they did it this way to preserve the review history of the original game on the Remaster.

But it is, as a bundle.

They’re having one HZD listing, for both copies If you buy it in 6 months you can still play the original release with no PSN and no remake changes, they just package the remake with it now on the store.

This is not true in the literal sense.

You cannot redeem HZD keys, and buy it as part of a bundle with both versions. They stopped selling it standalone.

So you can get the upgrade for $10 if you already have it, or wait for a sale on the bundle.

But in either case you can still play the original release without the PSN requirement even if bought after the remaster release.

See: Kaizo Mario directly inspiring Mario Maker.

See: LttP Randomizer, along with literally any other randomizer.

See: speedrunning streams literally making the market that Nintendo then sold the Nintendo World Championships cart into.

Nintendo absolutely benefits from this. They just want to crack the whip and take over. Fuck them.

Also, still can’t buy Mother 3. Double fuck them. Tons of titles play better on emulation. I shouldn’t have to justify it.

Revisiting this many weeks later: what do you think of the idea of super users who can be delegated an ability to silence/quarantine other posters?

Moderators

Superuser

User

Maybe if they only had the ability to flag a user and put them in "time out, and it couldn’t stack or be consecutive from one superuser, etc?

I dunno. It might be a good way to help police the content without making people volunteer to be full on mods. And it can be treated as a semi privileged role, that expires are X months and only X number ofnactive users in good standing can have at once?

A little complex to implement, but it might at least let mods crowdsource the task of stemming the worst of things.

Jesus, why not fine them 5 bucks?

What a joke.

Some jackass like Musk is gonna buy it at auction for the minimum they can get away with, and turn it into XInfoWars or something, and rehire Alex Jones because “truth is free” or some shit.

There is 0 value in this as a media company, but it’s always been a conspiracy theorist grift. It being resold that’s really all it could be. Sadly, many in MAGA hats would love to keep the grift going.

Nope. I quit their Google bullshit ages ago. Moto 360 was a brutal betrayal.

Get a withings scanwatch or something that is “dumb” enough to be an excellent and nice looking watch, hugely long battery life, and has all the health features that matter.

It looks sharply professional, I charge it once a month, and the updates for it don’t constantly make it run worse to push features in a different part of their product line…

This insane edgelord “all religion is bad so shut up about it” shit.

There a literally billions of Muslims in the world. They are not all following their cults orders in lockstep, doing exactly what is said, holding one belief.

You are vastly oversimplifying and grouping Sunni and Shia and Catholic and Protestant and Episcopalian and Jewish and Hindu and Sikh and Buddhist and Shinto all together.

None of those groups move as one within their faith. None. Scientology does. Because Scientology is not “lol religion is the opitate of the masses” cult, Scientology is a LITERAL “we keep people imprisoned and torture them routinely and steal all our members income while we take their children from them” kind of literal cult. Not colloquial. Not from a certain point of view. This is their entire structure.

The “gospel of prosperity” is almost a cult, arguably a cult of personality, but these people a literally physically free to do anything they want. They are manipulated into donating. Scientologists are blackmailed and, again, LITERALLY imprisoned within the groups of the groups facilities.

One, is a “proverbial” cult, because it is manipulating the weak minded and is very sad and wrong too. One is a LITERAL cult. And these two things can both be bad while one can be CLEARLY more objectionable than the other.
