Not-quite-spoiler: If they find the stool, be sure to have them break it.

I dislike the mines in Stardew Valley because the combat feels awkward and frustrating with a mouse and keyboard. Is it better with a game controller?

Fortunately the license forces them to contribute the code back

It doesn’t. It would only compel them to share their changes if they distributed their modified kernel to others, rather than simply running it on their own servers. And even then, they wouldn’t have to contribute their code back upstream.

They chose to contribute their changes upstream anyway, presumably so they aren’t burdened with having to adapt them to every new kernel version in the future. Fortunately, we stand to benefit as a side effect of that decision.

I dislike Meta as much as anyone, but sometimes a cucumber is just a cucumber.

many of these optimisations were likely caught by AI making test harnesses and benchmarking sections of code, analysing the profiling data and identifying slow algorithms.

Do you have a particular reason to think that, or is it speculation? If the former, can you share some links?

Do you have any experience using it with large modlists? Like a couple thousand mods at a time?

How does it compare to Fluorine Manager?

Looks like it has support for Wabbajack and Nexus modlists. Nice.

I don’t do Reddit. Is this the same incident?

Matrix has its own issues and, frankly, it’s a shitshow;

For what it’s worth, I use it daily with no significant trouble.

I guess it depends on your usage patterns.

For anyone else thinking about Matrix for public chat rooms, consider setting them up without encryption. This will remove friction for your less patient and less technical users, and may avoid frustrating glitches in some client apps.

There’s not really much point in encrypting a public room anyway, so you might as well keep it simple. The client-to-server connection will still be encrypted, which is the same level of privacy that Discord has. (And you can enable encryption on a room later if you want.)

What are you on about?

“The ‘longstanding recognition that searches at our borders without probable cause and without a warrant are nonetheless ‘reasonable’ has a history as old as the Fourth Amendment itself.’ United States v. Ramsey, 431 U.S. 606, 619 (1977).”

The reasoning seems to be that these searches should be considered reasonable simply because they’re as old as the Fourth Amendment, but wasn’t the Fourth Amendment adopted to end searches of this kind? It seems like a fallacious argument.

Apparently the US also has this policy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Border_search_exception
That allows warrantless searches within 100 miles of a border, which I think entirely covers many population centres.

Does anyone else find this absurd?

Steam’s top games of the year in Japan, in contrast to consoles where Nintendo’s Switch and Switch 2 exclusives dominate, are driven by global free-to-play titles, with Counter-Strike 2, PUBG: Battlegrounds, and Apex Legends being the three biggest games in terms of revenue. Of the top twelve titles, only Monster Hunter Wilds from Capcom was developed by a Japanese company, with hits like ARC Raiders and Call of Duty also making the list. In terms of playtime, Left 4 Dead 2 was top, followed by Terraria, with DOTA 2 and Stardew Valley also making the list.

I don’t see silicon. I see fiberglass and copper. Are you sure those demons are trapped?

Cloudflare is one of the largest surveillance operations in the world. They might not directly sell your data, but they are absolutely in a position to exploit your data and track your behavior. They should be avoided if privacy is a concern.

you can accept the free trial

In my experience, accepting a “free trial” usually requires accepting a long list of some company’s terms and conditions.

You might find that an acceptable imposition in an interface upon which you depend, and on the expensive device that you bought. Many of us do not.
