I'm pretty sure the only one that stayed up at all was Red Dwarf, the rest all rely on at least some part of the "main" instance and weren't up

"We've finally invented a technology whose most critical strength is that it obviates the need for rigorously structured data!"

"Now, make sure your websites are rigorously structured in such a way that allows the technology to work..."

Memory measurements reported in browsers come with substantial caveats, as measuring "how much memory is this tab using" is fairly nontrivial.

Not saying there isn't a difference, but you'd need to measure (e.g.) a fresh install viewing only one tab with no extensions, etc.

Xinput is a pretty constrained interface that plenty of novel controllers, including steering wheels, don't/can't adhere to. Good luck getting the PS5 controller's fancy rumble working over xinput, for example

The purpose of rules is not limited to enforcement. This seems to be a common misconception in these threads.

This is also something we've all been hearing for ages. "<Model version>/MCP/agents/yadda yadda are totally like anything that's come before!"

Still on the road, just happened, still news. Wouldn't be news if there weren't alpha test vehicles with real people in them on real roads, but there are, so...

Water damage is generally more expensive than a half hour of a plumber's time

There are several historical examples of this sort of job, and plenty of people who took them. For example, plenty of "editors in name only" of publications when the German government got really interested in censoring press in the 18th century.

>OP was referring to political violence

The dichotomy of "political" and "apolitical" violence is a false one, and one of the worst thought-terminating clichees of the 21st century. It's telling that "political violence" always seems to refer to violence that isn't the result of the processes of democratic politics.

Nobody's calling out cops shooting protestors with "less lethal" rounds or ICE officers riddling cars with bullets "political violence", for some reason.

"this doesn't sound as interesting as you seem to think it is" is not a strawman

"argument from similie I disagree with" is not a strawman

You're paying for your meal using USD, surely?

Is that bitcoin you're paying for your USD with on-chain, or is it just sparkling PayPal Account Balance?

You can host your own instance of both bsky and masto, making it fundamentally more censorship-resistant than a website where there's a single designated entity in charge of censorship, and what they say goes.

"Internet no longer viable" would affect everyone, probably

Unfortunately, a system with these qualities doesn't exist in practice. You just end up with the same too-big-to-fail macro organization minimizing their point-of-care labor spend and maximizing their management spend either way.

While protobuf comes with the strict parser built in, it's certainly possible to work with JSON in such a way that it is effectively strictly typed and versioned. These factors aren't really a "key difference" between the two formats, so much as an ergonomic one, imo

The Stanley Parable definitely plays with non-euclidean and liminal spaces - the room in the screenshot being one such example.

Everyone who uses Uber is voluntarily doing business with a company that does this. When was the last time you took an Uber?

A really annoying thing I've run into is that lots of libraries/frameworks/etc will have shortcuts to introduce this delay, to avoid "pop-in" of lazy-loaded stuff.

Like, yeah, pop-in looks a little weird, but suddenly APIs are making that one Mass Effect elevator into a first-class feature...

You can read privacy policies, terms of service and data sharing agreements today. Do you?

And when an industry at large is using RealPage for Wages, those two numbers may become increasingly similar

Respectfully, I don't think you're engaging with what I'm actually saying here.

No adults are training their way to the kid-lympics and then getting cut open and surprised by the count of the rings.

Also, the idea of "fairness" is overstated, a naturalist just-so fallacy. Is it "fair" that some male athletes are taller or shorter than others, or have other genetic advantages, for example?

>Nobody is banned from the "men's" category, including unambiguously cisgender women of completely unambiguous sexual characteristics.

This is exactly my point. Men with unusual characteristics are celebrated, but women with unusual characteristics are excluded into a non-competitive category.

You can justify it if you'd like, but in a practical sense, no man will ever get to the Olympics only to be turned away because they don't genetically qualify for competition. This is an indignity reserved only for women.

The upshot of this is that women with a genetic advantage are banned, but men with a genetic advantage aren't; is this not straightforwardly sex discrimination?

You can do that, but the companies and institutions built on Windows will still keep paying whatever it costs for Active Directory, and thus all the bundled software that comes with it.

Individual consumer action does not a monopoly break.

aside from gedit and geany and nano and emacs and notepad and vsc and notepad++ and sublime text and...

It's very much a rock-and-a-hard-place situation. "It's an import", so they have to respond to it like they'd respond to imports...

But unlike physical imports, there's a sense that blocking these imports is an affront to base philosophical freedom in a way that prohibiting physical imports isn't.

In addition to what others have said: even where remote play works, some games are worse candidates than others, and I expect Teardown would be towards the "worse" side of the set.

Teardown, visually speaking, is a pretty noisy game at times, and doesn't give a great visual clarity when streamed at real-time-encoding-type bitrates during these noisy moments.

FPS mouse+keyboard is also one of the worst-case scenarios for Moonlight/GFNow/etc. remote play, because first person aiming with a mouse relies very heavily on a tight input-vision feedback loop, and first person camera movement is much harder to encode while preserving detail relative to, say, a static-camera overhead view, or even third person games where full-scene panning is slower and more infrequent.

>It's just that most clients don't perform local validation due to low adoption.

>We might see a day when HTTPS key pinning and the preload list is implemented across all major browsers, but we will never see these protections applied in a uniform fashion across all major runtime environments (Node.js, Java, .NET, etc.)[...]

Is this not the same flaw?
