Soutien. Je sais à quel point le projet te tient à cœur depuis si longtemps, et c’est difficile de ne pas transposer ici. J’espère que tu vas bien.
J’ai toujours été admiratif de ta façon d’interagir avec la communauté Mozilla, et je suis sûr que tu as été tout aussi positif et apprécié dans la communauté Gnome.
Ono je teriérů hodně různých. Dokonce i těch na lišku. Hrubo- a krátkosrstí, angličtí, irští, velští… V Praze mám známé s Parson Russell teriérem, který vypadá jako Dášenka na Čapkových fotkách. Je hodně yorkských teriérů. Velmi živí a veselí psi.
@archos Oni ti foxíci, co se musejí stříhat, byli takoví módní společenští psi. Dokonce hráli ve filmech v Holywoodu. The Thin Man a v groteskách. Něco jako pudlíci.
Bylo to trochu náročnější. No jo Krušné hory no 🙂⛰️ Ale zase výhoda, že se jede lesem a tam byl stín. Pak už jen menší zastávka u našich na chatě. Sice bez Birella, ale domácí meruňkový koláč byl taky dobrý. #cyklovýlet
včera jsem jel lesem 7 km na oslavu máminy narozenin, chládek teda trošku byl ale ty "mušky"mě málem sežrali zaživa 😁 donutily mě k výkonu jaký sem dlouho nepodal.V cíli na mě čekal bazén a studený pivko....jooo holt "krušné hory-krušné lesy"😆
I um... think you might have a quite unfortunate typo here. 😂 > Communities like this (rblind.com) and r/blind are focused on severing the blind and visually impaired community,
Not sure how many Survive the Wild players are on my timeline, but Sam Tupy, the game's developer, just posted this blog post announcing it's coming to an end. samtupy.com/blog/2024/07/stw-l…
I used to dream of making an MMO. I have several code bases where I've started on exactly that. Even the current engine started life because of my dreams for an MMo. The longer I kept working though the more I realized that no. No I most likely do not actually want that. Moderating a forum, moderating this mastodon, moderating a few discords really put it into perspective. Not only is the code much more complex, not only will upkeep and continued development take a lot of energy, not only will it be expensive but it will also be a very thankless task. A constant uphill battle. You can only ever choose between premature optimization or tech debt. And the longer a project lives, the more it grows organically, the messier it naturally becomes. Combine all of those things and you end up with a very unpleasant sandwich indeed. So I get it. Life's short, life's messed up enough without those problems. Sad news, but he does a bunch of work already, and maybe now he'll feel better about working on things that give him more joy. Some people are just truly awful and if you realize it's too much, then it's best you stop. Good on him. It might be slightly different if you spent a lot of money on the game but even so. Did the money you spend lead to fun? Should have been worth it. If it wasn't hopefully you know now how to better spend your funds. This is simply what live service games are.
@TheCube hasn't it been fun while it was around? You can't expect centralized live service games to stay around indefinitely. Someone's going to have to tend to it.
@talon I wasn't exactly a hard core player, though I did play it for 8 hours straight towards the end of last year when the beta came out lol. Still, it was good fun. Just a shame I could never find where that premium gift card was.
@TheCube I never much played it. I got confused a lot. But I know many did. Certainly sad that it's over, but on the flip side, now Sam has a lot of time and mental freedom to focus on other things if he chooses to. Or even just to finally take a rest. If the game isn't set up for smaller communities where individual servers can be hosted, maybe it's better to look to the future and see what he can come up with next.
@bryansmart I don't think so. It's been up for 10 years or so and he did try to get more people to help, but it reads in the post as if it didn't work out. Selling a project like this is easier said than done and I can pretty much guarantee you nobody would've bought it to continue it.
@bryansmart not to mention sentimental value. Maybe he didn't want to sell it because it's his, and he feels like he doesn't trust anybody enough to continue his ideas. Plus it does say that it might return at some point, so that might have been another point against selling it even if it would have worked, which is highly unlikely.
OMG, stumbled on this website with very very old audio games for Windows and the nostalgia kicked in: dracoent.com/Windows/ So many hours spent playing these! Wish some of these titles were available for Mac. :)
Ghostery’s own documentation at the time of writing is extremely misleading, using clever language that seems to heavily imply the use of an independent index and crawler while not saying so outright: Ghostery says it “gets you objective results from a unique search index” and that it will “crawl it’s [sic] search index.” Privacy claims require trust, and word games do little to build it.
This is even more misleading than DDG saying it has “over 400 sources” (one source for organic link results, at least 399 for infoboxes) and its CEO claiming that it downranked Russian propaganda (Bing downranked it, and DDG doesn’t have permission to modify Bing results. DDG just took credit for it).
Oh, and there’s no such thing as an “unbiased” engine. If an engine tells you it’s unbiased, it’s straight-up lying.
The closest thing to an “unbiased” search engine is one with no result quality standards that ranks results randomly. Full of spam without any criteria, let alone bias, for “better” results. If you thought Google results were full of slop and SEO bait, you haven’t seen anything yet.
Hell, even that hypothetical “unbiased” engine would have emergent bias towards whoever has the most pages. Own your bias, both intentional and emergent.
how hard is it to just say “we get our organic link results from [partner]” instead of dancing around it with all this flowery language ffs. Almost every popular engine with third party results does this.
They are all trying to run a "search service" on the cheap. They don't want to do the hard work of building their own index. Some claim they are but it's not a serious spidering.
Anyway, you know far more about this than I do. And it all seems like a dark pattern in the end.
@bradenslen They don’t have to build their own index if they can’t afford to (it costs tons of money, talent, and not-very-public knowledge on how to deal with spam and whatnot). They can just be honest and say where their results come from and what they offer that their sources/competitors don’t.
I honestly like DDG’s predictable infoboxes more than Bing/Google ones; if they leaned into that they could have a lot more users.
Decades after the first images from Mars rovers, I still can’t get over the fact that we have actual photos of landscapes, sunrises, skies, and formations from the surface of another fucking planet. Sci-fi creators have imagined the extraterrestrial landscapes for centuries, but NASA went out to see the real Martian surface (holy fucking shit) and it was gorgeous. I’m reminded of the “Holy Shit: Man walks on fucking moon” headline from The Onion.
Quote posting to add alt-text: various photos of a Martian landscape. It resembles a desert with large sand dunes. Soil colors range from brown dunes to reflective cracked orange flats below. The sky is a pale yellow-orange. In some images, parts of the Perseverance rover are visible.
Question for infosec folks: Someone recommended that I look at using Drata (drata.com/) to help my SaaS company comply with ISO 27001, HIPAA, etc. Is this another CrowdStrike?
Drata ships with an agent but you can get full compliance certification through them without using the agent (and don’t use agents anyway unless it’s something simple like fleetdm)
Drata is basically a compliance data hub. You say what specs you want to comply with, they tell you all the things you need to do as a checklist, and you (optionally) connect systems like aws and github and okta so Drata can auto-check compliance.
Another compliance standard it is viable for is SOC2, but this mainly means that you acknowledge various company policies via their website. The client you install on your machine checks for certain settings but at least on Windows it is unable to verify whether the system goes to the lock screen automatically after 5 or so minutes and whether drive encryption is enabled. Instead, you need to take screenshots and upload them, but nobody checks them.
For wiping a device remotely, a separate MDM tool is required (at least for Windows). I'm not sure if the Drata agent scans for or prevents the installation of software the company doesn't allow or that is malicious - I haven't noticed its presence at all other than a yearly reminder for acknowledging policies. It doesn't seem to do much, so probably not a CrowdStrike.
Steps for how to access and use the recovery tool Microsoft created to generate a USB recovery drive to expedite the repair process from the CrowdStrike issue..
Full of gratitude that this immersive exhibit was extended at the SFMoMA. I cannot recommend it enough. A beautiful reflection on community, friendship, and music.
This was my third time experiencing it, and I still cried and sang. So moving.
Lol what... Doordash really should have had someone proofread their accessibility statement.

Look, I've had numerous (well documented) complaints about the Biden administration and the fact that I don't think its liberal, incrementalist policies go nearly far enough in the face of a fascist project to control every aspect of our society, backed by corporate power. With that having been said however, I dunno how *anyone* can still be arguing that there are political, institutionalist answers to the fascist takeover we're experiencing in America when even straightforward incrementalist policies by an elected Democrat President are being struck down or otherwise blocked by Calvin Ball rulings from federal courts stacked full of fascists:
Appeals Court Blocks Biden’s Student Debt Relief Plan
"The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 8th Circuit’s temporary ruling against the administration’s Saving on a Valuable Education (SAVE) plan comes just over a year after the Supreme Court struck down Biden’s sweeping student debt cancellation proposal."
This case isn't even about using political power to stop fascism, it's a clear cut situation of providing debt relief for folks being ground up by the student loan industry. If fascist judges are prepared to interfere with regular policy issues and block milquetoast presidential initiatives, you can sure as shit bet they're going to do the same thing about any political efforts to stop the fascist takeover of our society. Whether you're for taking to the streets, or you believe in stopping fascism at the ballot box, it's 100% clear to me that we're not going anywhere good as a country so long as these corrupt, be-robed nazis are running Bartertown.
There's more than one way to reform the American federal court system, and I don't have all the answers for you. It's entirely possible the Biden administration can keep working around these rulings for a little while to continue offering student loan debt relief to millions of Americans victimized by the student loan industry. What I do know however is that sooner or later the political issues raised by the fascist takeover of our courts will come to a head, and by hook, or by crook, we need to find a way to shatter the power of corrupt judges who're now running the country for their reactionary corporate donors; rich donors and corpos who clearly support the larger fascist project, might I add. Ignoring this reality is a nonstarter - both politically, and in our greater society.
"The ... PAC effort is spearheaded by Mike Novogratz, the cryptocurrency billionaire who backed Dean Phillips in the Democratic primary"
Folks, the movement to replace Joe Biden is being led and funded and promoted by media moguls (who hate that he's going after them for antitrust) and by cryptocurrency bros (who hate that he's regulating and taxing their magic internet money), and rich folks in general (who hate that he's staffing and funding the IRS to make them pay their fair share).
The people standing by him? Bernie Sanders. AOC. The Congressional Black Caucus. The United Auto Workers.
Of those, which side do *you* think is more likely to be right about this?
After several days of quiet griping and hoping that President Joe Biden would abandon his reelection campaign on his own, many wealthy Democratic donors are trying to take matters into their own hands.
After many years away from the stage, I am back! It looks like I’m accepted to give a talk at the Matrix Conference (2024.matrix.org/) to present ✨ native simplified sliding sync ✨: how it differs from the first version of sliding sync (an experimental project implemented inside a proxy), how we’ve implemented it inside the Matrix Rust SDK etc. Gonna be fun!
