Yes it’s technically trivial. I have read the patch. That’s beside the point, which is social and political.
I get to decide and report what does and does not hurt me thankyouverymuch. And I do think this is a step that erodes my right to privacy, taken with shockingly little discussion. (Which got it reverted)
There’s a lot of degrees of freedom between “just comply bro” and “good luck enforcing that”. For example https://blog.system76.com/post/system76-on-age-verification
Yes. It’s an engineering game that can def put you in flow and disrupt your sleep and self control.
If you know space chem.or zachtronics, well, it’s a zachtronics game.
If not: You are an alchemist, which means you use these tiny arms and other tools to assemble molecules. Just assembling something automatically is an accomplishment, but many aim to optimize the amount of space used, the speed at which molecules are constructed, and/or the cost of the machine itself.
I see how hard you’re trying
It’s definitely wrong to degrade or harass this guy for doing it.
Buuut this is being made to support a bad law that should be opposed. The law is a bellwether for compulsory age and identity verification, which should strike fear into the hearts of everyone. And especially everyone who cares about their privacy (which really should be everyone, but …).
Furthermore, it’s questionable whether a law like this can apply to open source software. IMO it really can’t - who exactly is liable? Is the world really better with ageless Linux outlawed?
Inb4 it becomes “upload your passport to boot”
Look how far they have to contort to try and take back the moral high ground. We’re not buying this shit and I’m sure if they were honest, neither are they.
Retail price or rental price lol
That sounds like a great reason to return it and buy used lol
IF YOU BUY ANY TV, DO NOT CONNECT IT TO THE INTERNET.
Televisions were never meant to be smart devices. There’s no reason your screen should have software of its own. That would be like your face having a mind of its own.
Ummm, <eldrich horror rant text>
1 day blinding stew will really do the trick
Specifically, that’s a Symptomatic treatment. It doesn’t fix autism or make you less autistic, but can sometimes help you meet life goals.
Lol, lmao even
Yes same, hi five borther
Yes, there’s definitely worse out there.
But this is still worth fighting. It’s a bellwether for more restrictive age+identity verification laws, and those should not exist in the US. The gov’t shouldn’t have any say in what I compute the same way they shouldn’t have any say in what I discuss using the mail. This is a clear step away from that and it’s important to make that clear to lawmakers now so they don’t use this as evidence the populace is ok with something stronger.
Say boss does 10 damage per turn. If you heal 8 points per turn, that means boss effectively does 2 damage per turn, and your effective HP is 5x what it would have been without healing. Heal 1 more per turn, for 9 total and your EHP is 10x. Heal 10 per turn and your EHP is infinity. Heal 11 per turn and your EHP is still infinity, no change. So that 10th point of healing was worth waaaay more than the 9th or the 11th.
If the servers have public IPs and you want the minimum possible ports open, just SSH? With passwords disabled and large keys, it’s quite secure.
If that’s still not enough for you or you need a private gateway, then Wireguard. I can strongly recommend Tailscale - It’s really an orchestration layer on top of Wireguard. You can setup your own Derp relays and head scale if you are truly paranoid. But 99.9% you don’t need all that and Tailscale out of the box will work well.
Also Tailscale isn’t a single point of failure the way you’re imagining. It’s certainly possible for Tailscale’s servers to go down, but that won’t drop existing connections.
That’s his wingflap
