I'm not the person that you're replying to, but:

It can be less intrusive than using a phone, I believe. That makes it a step closer to being present. (I don't know specifics, but I'm assuming that the display can be turned off when not in use.)

Also, if someone already wears glasses, why not have glasses that can do more?

If photo quality is the only concern, a DSLR camera will take a better picture than a modern phone, so you shouldn't use a phone either. But the person you're replying to didn't say it was "better", they said "faster", so that's what's more important to them.

I assumed that the fact the blog post verified the legitimacy was implied, or that people would look at it before commenting if they didn't think it was implied. My bad.

I mentioned it because the blog post itself links back to cloudflare.pay. Of course just linking to a blog post is useless.

It looks like they've updated the cloudflare.pay site to link to the blog post on cloudflare.com that introduces wallets. So they fixed it on the same day they launched. That's not too bad, in my book.

> As far as I can see, there are only three proven militaries in the world, the US, Israel and Ukraine

What in your view makes these ones proven and other ones not proven?

No-man's-lands exist (a very obvious one is the DMZ between North Korea and South Korea), but I believe the specific point was that no-man's-lands don't exist at the US borders.

Wish I didn't have to log in to reddit to read that post. RIP useful reddit links.

edit: looks like I had an extension that was redirecting to old.reddit.com, and it was old reddit that required login. Though when I turned that extension off, I got a "blocked by reddit security" error. ugggh.

I'm not the person you asked, but I don't think where it is matters as much as where it isn't. It isn't at Apples headquarters.

It's a lot smaller of a community than HN, so it will naturally have a smaller range of opinions merely due to the fact that it has a lot fewer users.

That said, I don't believe it's as much of a hivemind as you've portrayed. I've seen dissenting opinions voiced there which weren't downvoted (or at least not noticeably), while the same opinion in a similar thread here on HN would be downvoted and flagged. So I don't think that getting downvoted enough so that you're invited to delete your account is a common occurrence with productive members.

I'm aware of what it means now. It used to have a more specific meaning than just "You die and loose everything than you have a meta upgrade loop". That was part of what it meant but not all. The "Berlin interpretation" is what it used to mean, and most of the stuff that's now called a roguelike was referred to as "roguelite" since it met some of the criteria for roguelike but not all.

"Rogue-like" is the most over-used term these days. It now has almost no meaning, compared to what it used to mean.

I think those are bishops, and they have different colors based on which color spaces they start on.

In this game, I think _some_ of the less general terms (stricter definition) also apply: turn-based movement, grid-based movement.

Since when was looking ridiculous a hindrance to being fashionable?

Adult websites were never banned on those, as far as I recall.

Is Let's Encrypt the only provider of SSL certificates?

Genuine question! Because I assumed there were other places you could get a SSL certificate, but people in this thread seem to be implying that without Let's Encrypt, there's no way for people in those sanctioned territories to get a cert.

A government falls under "entity". So it's about normal people AND governments (and other entities).

Still needs updating if it's supposed to only apply to governments, though.

At work, we use Google Workspaces so that we have gmail and google docs and google sheets, and the "features" noted in this post have all shown up for us. That said, we were able to turn them off and haven't been bothered by them since. I don't remember the process being hard at all. That said, it's still something you need to do to have your settings not be the default settings, but is that necessarily any worse than any other setting you like to change away from the default?

The title of the thread itself says "Mega Drive-Style Shoot-Em-Up" (which implies it's not a Mega Drive game bit just one made in that style), so it's likely that's what's tripping people up.

That phrase was in the parenthetical and as such doesn't seem to directly apply to the claim of "WASD is the OG OP way to navigate." Additionally, I was referring to the PRH Stellar Navigation Chart when I said we're not discussing a game.

Considering we're not discussing a game, it seems like a perfectly valid comparison.

I was in a kind of similar situation. Didn't watch it when it was originally airing, though I could have. I eventually watched it decades later and absolutely loved it. That said, it was pre-The Expanse. But I still think it holds up pretty well, even if the special effects aren't as good.

I don't know if I'd say it's the OG way. Both HJKL and numpad predate WASD, I think.

> So open sourcing would not harm any of those income streams.

Obsidian's income streams are based on Obsidian having easy-to-use easy-to-setup ways to sync and publish built-in. If Obsidian were open source, someone could fork it and remove or replace those built-in methods, which has the potential to harm their income streams. Whether it actually would and by how much depends on a lot of unknowns and is all just conjecture, but _if_ such a fork became somehow more popular than Obsidian proper, that'd definitely affect them.

Are you trying to make a pun with byte/bite relating to nibble? Because that's actually where the term nibble (referring to 4 bits) comes from, so I'm not sure such a pun even counts as a pun anymore. Or am I misinterpreting your comment?

> Open source doesn't ask for your trust

And yet, I'd wager my life savings that almost no one using open source software actually verifies that it's not malicious in a different way than one would closed source software (ie. reputation), and instead almost everyone just trusts it.

Doesn't seem remotely fair to consider lock-in caused by plugins to be an Obsidian lock-in. If the plugin is storing data in such a way that it's not usable in a tool other than Obsidian, that's 100% the plugin's fault, not Obsidian's no matter which way you look at it.

Also, more generally, any software that has unique features will require "the annoying process of fixing them and getting it working in whatever new system I switch to when I leave", whether it's open source or not. So you're not actually looking for open source, you're just looking for something with perfect feature parity to another program.

If that's so, then without numbers, it's neither usable nor unusable.

So ICANN is alright because they're protecting them for free, but Cloudflare is bad because they're protecting them for money?
