Someone I know started torrenting for the first time ever (American shows only) and cancelled their streaming services. Cancelled Prime. I’m avoiding American products as much as possible.

At some point you have to let them fail. Remind them of it again, so that when they cause a major issue in prod you can point out that you communicated it to them multiple times. If this team keeps causing outages (and aren’t covered for by other teams) then, hopefully, management high enough will become aware of it and start to crackdown on them. I know you said elsewhere you don’t want them to lose their jobs but if they can’t do it, they shouldn’t have it. It’s not like you’re sabotaging them - you’re still helping them with advice and warnings. If despite that help they still can’t get by, then them getting terminated is the remaining best outcome.

Not sure how straightforward this is, but maybe instead of fixing things directly, point out to them what the fix needs to be. “Oh, you have an extra comma here. Try removing that and then see if it works.”

By forcing them to be the ones that work in their code base, and also forcing them to have to fix their own problems (even if you hand-hold them through it), then maybe they’ll start to show a little more care.

That’s been the official position forever. Canada wants a Palestinian state, but it’s not recognizing one yet. Basically they put out a nothing statement and people are thinking it’s something new.

For people who enjoyed Descent, you may enjoy Overload. It was created by some of the original creators and is also a 6DOF shooter.

Yes and no. Wasm has no “standard library” so if you wanted to use Dates, your wasm would need to have its own implemation bundled for when the user visits the page. Ditto for everything else including string support! As you can imagine having to ship all this basic functionality can bloat the wasm and slow page loads.

You also can’t fully escape JS, as the only way wasm can interact with the page & browser are through the JS functions you write and make available to your wasm. I suppose you could take advantage of this to not have to ship your own standard library & use the JS Date implementation, but at that point why not just use JS?

Wasm has strengths but it’s not suitable for replacing JS for everyday websites.

In practice I doubt Americans would end up qualifying for refugee status, at least not yet. I’m pretty sure you have to show there are no safe places in your country, and many US states are more reasonable for LGBT folks than some Canadian provinces are.

For me it’s the 3 actions per turn. So much nicer to still have a turn even after I rolled an attack and missed.

I feel like which network depends on what you’re advocating for and to which type of person. For example, Mastadon, Lemmy, and Bluesky are fairly left-leaning, so advocating for a well-known liberal idea there could be “preaching to the choir”.

Probably legal (for the buying company) but customers should sue the original company and get paid out of the money used to buy it.

Ditto. I use unique passwords for services I care about / someone could exfiltrate sensitive data, and a cheap reused password for services I don’t care about and could easily regain access to with a password reset email.

+1 for Softmaker.

My god I’m imagining a B-tier live action remake of American Dad and it’s horrifying.

It has co-op, which with this patch now works between consoles and PCs.

It’s not even necessarily the ISPs that are doing it. In many cases they don’t like this because their users start getting blocked on websites; it’s bad actors piggy-packing on legitimate users connections without those users’ knowledge.

There are residential IP providers that provide services to scrapers, etc. that involves them having thousands of IPs available from the same IP ranges as real users. They route traffic through these IPs via malware, hacked routers, “free” VPN clients, etc. If you block the IP range for one of these addresses you’ll also block real users.

When I worked for a startup we’d sometimes go out for lunch and everyone would have a drink or two. We also kept beer in the office fridge but that was reserved for more Friday afternoons.

Yes but there are ways to protect against that. For instance you can configure Tailscale clients to only trust nodes that have been signed by trusted nodes, or something like that.

Hmm maybe, it was noticeably improved after 9 months for me.
