Just wanna scoot in here and mention that yes, it can be very difficult for some people to do very mundane tasks, such as cooking an egg. Trust me, I know how depression fucks with your system and it indeed sometimes makes you incapable of spending five minutes on boiling an egg :(

I’ve seen rich people do worse.

And big corp wants to smother it before it’s bigger. It perfectly makes sense. It’s so much more difficult to kill a service/movement when it’s already widely adopted and popular. Identifying small, new players in the field and disrupting those takes very few resources for them, a rounding error, if you will.

The fediverse has the potential to be a threat to some big corps out there, and Lemmy is just one speck in a sea of a lot of specks. Together those specks are growing the fediverse, and the only way to disrupt it is to get rid of those specks.

Seriously though. It could be so easy: there’s a wealth of websites with huge collections of recipes. An app/feature like this from the supermarket company would potentially generate huge amounts of a traffic to such a site making a collaboration mutually beneficial. And yet, they go with some half-assed AI-“solution”, probably because the markering team starts moaning when AI’s mentioned.

That, or this was all intentional to go viral as a supermarket. Bad publicity is still publicity!

I definitely did a stealthy playthrough, I can’t say if that influenced the amount of enemies or their aggression levels in doing so. My guess would be no, as most enemies turn idle if you’re undetected for long enough. However, the game does force you to play aggressive and out in the open in some (fixed) instances, which makes a full stealth playthrough impossible. Not the best game to play in stealth, but definitely fun enough, especially with a bow or sniper rifle. In some instances it even really got OP, wiping out complete outposts while in stealth. Still fun though. The devs did definitely take stealth seriously in making the game.

But that’s the thing: like you say, people are naturally prone to “mind-wander”, keeping that in mind and to then compare the amount of rigorous training and checking that pilots have to go through compared to the in comparison measly process of acquiring a driver’s license (and then indefinitely keeping it with no questions asked unless you do indeed run somebody over) is absolutely mind-boggling. Some countries have some safequards in place such as required driving-tests when you reach a certain age as a driver but it still does in no way account for how much of a murder-machine cars are and how casual we are about just about everyone with a shrimp for a brain driving them.

Well if it didn’t propagate properly it’d still point to squarespace, which it also doesn’t do. Are there still AAAA entries that haven’t been removed yet maybe? DNS does properly function without ipv6, granted that there’s no entries for it and the ip address used for the A entry is in fact an ipv4 one.

  • Mind sharing the ip address you’re trying to point to?
  • What service are you using to manage dns? Some services (like cloudflare) have some settings on by default that require the pointed to ip to have a valid SSL certificate.

100% for traffic/numbers to show investors and advertising companies. Don’t give them the satisfaction, it’s better to stay away.

He already has everything, check the Instagram specs. Threads is nothing new in that regard.

Well, let’s be real: it’s caught on way better than Google+ and is already pretty mainstream with lots of people flocking over in need for a Twitter replacement. Google+ entered into a space that was saturated by Facebook with very little extra value (or none at all) when switching.
