Mint. It just works and Cinnamon is a good DE (ui design peaked in the Windows XP days). Plus you also get all the software built and tested for Ubuntu without the bullshit of using Ubuntu.

For my server I use NixOS, because having one unified configuration is so nice.

Looks like the AI was confused as to whether he was wearing sandals or not. And also didn't understand sleeves.

When going from point a to point b takes ages or is otherwise a pain. I get you worked hard on your world, but it losses its charm the 10th time running across it.

And don't force me to hold/tap a button to sprint. Or worse, make me click in the left stick.

Probably only if the word "AI" is in the title...

It'll still slow them down and reduce load on your server. I also think many of these crawlers focus on volume; time spent computing the hash is time not spent crawling someone else's site.

Most registrars have some form of whois protection now, so the only people who can easily see it are the registars themselves (and the government that controls them).

Assuming you're paying for a domain using real money, they'll need your information on file as part of the online payment anyway, so using a fake id doesn't really hide anything from them.

I've seen people suggesting and using Anubis, haven't used it myself though.

Firstly, the Prime Minister and an MP are very different, so it's not really a fair comparison. Replacing an MP with one of the same party might result in what? Your bins being taken out on a different day?

Anyway, I think this is a "don't let perfect be the enemy of good situation". Without any safeguards, an assassination is most likely to come from someone across the political spectrum than someone next to them. So it makes sense to focus on preventing that even if it does open a potential (risky to execute) exploit.

... Isn't wanting to kill someone with vastly different views more common than wanting to kill someone with only slightly different views?

Like, sure someone could kill someone in the party they like for the chance to get someone they like better in power. But realistically it won't change much (they're still bound by the same whip) and it's not worth the risk of going to jail.

Skipped to the "ugly" part of the article and I kind of agree with the language being hard?

I think a bigger problem is that it's hard to find "best practices" because information is just scattered everywhere and search engines are terrible.

Like, the language itself is fairly simple and the tutorial is good. But it's a struggle when it comes to doing things like "how do I change the source of a package", "how do I compose two modules together" and "how do I add a repo to a flake so it's visible in my config". Most of this information comes from random discourse threads where the responder assumes you have a working knowledge of the part of the codebase they're taking about.

Got sent this, and the animation is actually quite well done for how simple it is.

It's fun, and well worth looking at if you like smash.

Been playing this game a bit. Can't comment on how good it is compared to actual battlefield, but I've been having fun.

Currently in (free) beta, not sure how long they are doing their playtest for though.

Stumbled upon this game and had fun with the demo. Might be up some people's alley.

Hey all, I'm British so I don't really know the ins and outs of the US healthcare system. Apologies for asking what is probably a rather simple question.

So like most of you, I see many posts and gofundmes about people having astronomically high medical bills. Most recently, someone having a $27k bill even after his death.

However, I have an American friend who is quick to point out that apparently nobody actually pays those bills. They're just some elaborate dance between insurance companies and hospitals. If you don't have insurance, the cost is lower or removed entirely. Supposedly.

So I'm just asking... How accurate is that? Consider someone without insurance, a minor physical ailment, a neurodivergent mind and no interest in fighting off harassing people for the rest of their life.

How much would such a person expect to pay, out of their own pocket, for things like check ups, x rays, meds, counselling and so on?

I recently played through a demo for a game called Pinball Spire on steam, and it put me in the mood for playing pinball games. Unfortunately, and I don't know if this is just due to me having bad google-foo, there don't seem to be that many on Steam that catch my interest.

So figured I may as well make a thread asking about what the "state of the art" of pinball video games is. Some of the ones I've played:

  • Sonic Spinball: Very janky, but very unique and I don't think I've seen anyone try to do anything similar to it.
  • Pokémon Pinball and Sonic Pinball Party: Fairly standard pinball games, tbh. They're both on handhelds so they can't do that much.
  • Demon's Tilt and Xenotilt: Just really fun feeling arcade pinball games with a really fun tilt mechanic.

So yeah, know any good PC or console pinball games?

Oh, and can someone help me: I vaguely remember seeing a stream of a pinball game for the Mega Drive/SNES where the ball goes through multiple tables. Does anyone know what that game was called, if it even exists?
