The chances of a true philanthropist beating out the psychopaths currently at the top of the chain, is basically nil. They will always fight dirtier.

You need to ensure a government can exert power over the largest organisations in its country. If that ever becomes an issue, the organisation might start behaving as a de facto government of its own and start treating the actual government as a vassal.

Basically we need to kick corporatist politicians out of our governments before they finish rolling out the red carpet for the end of democracy, and start chopping up and/or nationalising these proto-megacorps. If only a few control the tools that put us all out of work, we’re not getting anything close to utopia.

Especially back before online shopping existed

Well getting this running on my steam deck has just become one of the top 10 entries on my to-do list

Goddamn this is knowledge you could have kept to yourself

I’m only just over having balatro on my phone

I guess it’s my turn to say it in a thread:

Shattered pixel dungeon

Best classic roguelike on mobile IMO

I was going to also suggest Downwell but it doesn’t seem to be available any more

A brain that needs to be tricked into falling asleep half the time

Usually it’s not even negative thoughts or anything like that, it’s just busy problem solving

Why the fuck did it take me getting to “Cow Detangler” before I realised it was onion I was munching on

Stores are supposed to then take what they’ve received and donate it to a local charity. The workers have to figure out what charity they’ll partner with, and have to do the leg work of coordinating the donations themselves.

And let me guess, they’re either expected to do this in their free time or not drop miss their targets if they do it during work

!!!

Guess I know where my free time is going this weekend

Tarantino & Nolan already got shouts in the thread, so:

John Carpenter for some of the best practical effects in cinema history

You’ve also got the likes of Stanley Kubrick & David Lynch, of course

Talking of Davids, David Fincher feels like he has enough good to make the list

I feel like you could go on a great journey through 80s-00s cinema with films having either Bill Murray or Arnold Schwarzenegger in the cast

There’s probably a lot I’m forgetting

6ish, I’d like 8 but I can’t really fall asleep until after midnight unless I’m truly exhausted, then work means I usually need to be up around 7ish

Not necessary preppers as that is someone who’s motivation is to mitigate some hypothetical future bad thing happening

I think most self-hosters are doing it out of a combination of technical exploration and mitigating real issues that exist today, e.g. cloud service outages or market exits causing something previously bought to be useful to become a temporary brick or permanent e-waste. Well, and cost in some cases, no one particularly enjoys having an extra bill for hosting.

I was on call during a work team night out at a darts place and had to get on the WiFi there to check it out an incident

It was one of those ones that has a camera for action replays and I’m in the background of one tapping away

“immigration is why our lives are getting worse”

Very clear indicator that someone has barely attempted to understand how the world works

At this point, I’m just looking at all this as an interesting social experiment on sunk cost fallacy

I wonder how long they can go without delivering on anything

Isn’t Microsoft about to block kernel modules like this entirely? I thought I read that somewhere

C’mon guys, “BitUnlocker”? “BitLooker” was right there

They don’t edit the manifest at all?

Potentially misunderstanding but that’s exactly what this is, right?

You recorded the code for a given unlock (I’m assuming out of range of the vehicle), replayed it, the car then rolled the code on to the next one and your replayed code was no longer valid and your existing fob didn’t know to rollover too, so was left out of sync.

So yes I guess there’s the risk it hasn’t been implemented correctly, but adds the necessary functionality you were missing to accomplish this before.

Though it would still leave the fob out of sync, in theory I feel like it could be possible for the flipper to send the necessary information to allow the fob to be resynchronised too. Of course someone would need to write this functionally

Yeah I would assume there’s a maximum number of fobs you can register to an individual car and it just keeps the state for all of them individually
