2FA on the login form is a thing for some sites,

Oh that button! That shows after a battle has started. You can tap anywhere! Just tap tap tap on the screen and and long as it’s not a button you’re tapping on then it will attack.

I just had to go back and check we were talking about the same game. There’s no fight button in the default control scheme, you just bump into the thing you want to fight, then a popup shows in the middle of the screen to start the fight.

I agree a half finished game isn’t what OP is looking for, and a lot of the gameplay (especially later) revolves around finding your way through what are effectively mazes.

I play it one handed though. It’s turn based combat and when out of combat you just put your finger on the screen and it walks towards it? I didn’t even know a d-pad option existed 😅

One of the most horrifying things I know about humans is that almost all of us are susceptible to this and it’s not simply a matter of people kissing their ass, though that certainly “helps”.

This doesn’t have to be true. I have explained to one of my kids when asked why I don’t think the rich are good people.

Me: Well, what would you do with a billion dollars?

Them: buy lots of toys

Me: ok, after you have bought all the toys in the store, what would you do?

Them: Buy toys for all my friends… Well maybe they could have the ones I’m not using. Buy a house? Buy you a new car?

Me: What would you do after you had bought all that and still have almost all of the billion dollars left over, since a billion is so huge?

Them: um, buy houses for the people that don’t have houses? And food for the people that don’t have enough food?

Ultimately I believe that to have a billion dollars for any decent length of time you are probably a bad person, because even a kid’s instinct is to use that money to help others’, even people they don’t know.

While wealth might make people bad as you imply, I think an equally valid option is that good people don’t stay wealthy because they use the money to help others.

I was explaining to my kids about floppy disks, and mentioned the save icon. The what? The button you press to save. It just says “save” they said.

I think they use the Google suite at school, and apparently the save button just says “save”. Although TBH I half expected them to not know of it because of auto-saving.

Ah that makes sense, thanks!

If you want to hand out candy to children year round, you could consider becoming a tree? Saw this guy on the weekend, handing out lollipops to kids at the playground while playing the saxophone: https://thespinoff.co.nz/society/17-07-2022/have-you-seen-the-walking-talking-tree-of-wellington

Full disclosure, doing this may get you shot in the US, and this is not that unusual for Wellington NZ, we’re just kinda like this.

If it’s automated, why only run it weekly?

Yeah, go and read Invisible Women (or at least the intro chapter) if you need something to be angry about.

That New Zealand experience where you desperately try to find the thing you need anywhere but Amazon, but it’s the only seller. With shipping that costs more than the item.

Fun part is that you have to pay tax when importing based on the full value including shipping.

Browsing through the list… ok how do I tell if my server has been compromised, because I run a fuckload of those…

Someone send firefox that spiky corner design that I saw in /all

I’m not sure what they were going for, but I know that modern browsers do just in time compilation for regularly repeated code parts to allow much faster execution, so “interpreted programming language” may be a little of a blurry definition. See https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Glossary/Just_In_Time_Compilation

I couldn’t find any info on any hardware specific to JS/JSON for clients but I’m no expert, maybe they will provide more info.

I find it interesting how Americans see the word “fortnight” as some archaic thing but it’s still in regular use in English outside of the US.

I probably miss out on that aspect as I have everything automated 🤷

The two main benefits I’ve seen of private trackers are that you avoid the issue in the OP which happens all the time on public trackers, and that shows download in seconds.

Not sure how helpful they would be if things weren’t automated. I just have things set up so my Jellyfin users can request shows and they get downloaded automatically.

But with that said, “private” doesn’t mean it costs money, just that it requires an account (and usually that is an application process). It means they can kick people off for uploading things they shouldn’t.

Oh on private trackers it’s hard to keep a genuine ratio like that. Instead they typically assign points for time you spend seeding, and you use those points to “buy” upload credit that counts for your ratio.

Many private trackers have a requirement to log in every X months so occasionally I just go log in to each and spend all the points.

This seems like a one off for them, but for me whenever tracking ongoing TV series I would regularly get malicious files as they appear before the real ones, and get found and downloaded by sonarr.

These days I only automate from private trackers, and enable a public tracker for an interactive search only if something can’t be found on the private trackers.

For the most part, something either comes with the system or you install it as a flatpak. Or as someone else mentioned, run in Distrobox.

Therre’s actually a Bazzite help page on this: https://docs.bazzite.gg/Installing_and_Managing_Software/software-intro/

The very last resort is that you can install packages sort of as normal, by layering them in rpm-ostree, then rebooting to rebuild things. It’s discouraged though, as if you manually install packages then it can break updates and upgrades take longer to run. Basically, installing packages manually is defeating the purpose of an immutable system (the purpose being basically to keep things super stable).
