Nah…I’m perfectly fine just finishing the story.

…

Unless that’s part of the story 😅

I think I’m supposed to go to the area with the bees. I never found the entrance so the game’s been on hold for a few years 😬

This reminds me: I should finish Hollow Knight.

That’s a helluva expensive shot. I mean, you should definitely get it, but nobody should have to pay that much for it. I guess that’s USA…

Forcing this might very well be something EU opposes. While there is a lot of corporate lobbying, Google would be forcing everyone to either use chromium or make compatibility changes into other browser. While not a total monopoly, it still limits the options radically. Therefore there might be hope that EU forbids this type of action. Let’s see…

Leaving Twitter was easy.

Just log out once and since you can’t even read embedded tweets without being logged in, you are practically isolated from the whole platform. If you last a few days, you realize that you’re not really missing anything…

Good point!

Just stated using Revanced Extended YouTube. One of the best apps there is. Makes everything so much more convenient and with zero cost.

Maybe so, although I don’t really have a interest in that. I really wish I was able to maintain my skills in both “fields”. I’ve found out that nowadays it is important to have people who can interpret layman problems and wishes to techies and explain technological “jargon” to “normal” people. Being a middleman like this seems to have it’s benefits.

Nox Archaist - Wasn’t expecting much, was blown away. Definetily not for everyone, but personally I think it’s the most engaging game I’ve played this year. Surpasses even Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.

And just to make it clear: this is not a shit post. I really enjoy Nox Archaist so much.

A humanist here, working in the cultural heritage (which is also increasingly digital) field.

I reckon I have more computer skills than an average user but in no way I am a “techie”. It’s just that I know how to search for tech solutions and am not afraid of breaking the computer. Due to using Unity I also have some experience with C# and currently I am trying to learn python (mostly just for fun but you’ll never know if it ends up being helpful at some point).

So definetily not a tech person, but interested in both the humanist and technological side if life.

That one I knew, but thanks anyway 🙂

5 bucks for network monitoring made it a deal for me. Thanks 🙂

Stupid question, but what’s Shodan and why should I get it?

I think the point is that as long as certain services or fundamentals for living are based on good-will and philanthropy, they are in the end at the mercy of whims or calculated actions of those doing well.

It is PR in the sense that it does not only make the philanthropist look good, it also ties the subjects of the philanthrophy into a bond between the giver and receiver: as a receiver you are forever thankful to the philanthropist and in some perverted way constantly reminded of your subordinate status towards the giver. This strengthens the societal structures that benefit the rich and helps them stay powerful compared to massess. While I am sure that most rich people genuinely donate money to make things better and help others, it is still them who get to choose where the money is spent.

More equal and transparent option is to make sure that there is enough tax revenue to cover these kinds of costs from public spending.

I have also been playing with an idea of a philanthropic fund that allows anyone to donate, but not to decide where the money is spent. If the target for philanthropy could be decided by a group of experts/public poll, money could probably be allocated to places where it is needed the most. However, I am sure there would be a lack of bigger donations as the PR effect would be smaller…

Never really used it that much and I’ve been much more active in Lemmy than ever in Reddit.

However, if I have problem that need a quick answer, I usually search Reddit. This in not because it is somehow amazing, but because Google searches suck nowadays. Typing Reddit into the search query usually brings out the answer I need instantly.

I usually just type as I find swiping unreliable.

As a side note, I just got a new phone with advanced haptics. This is the first time typing on a touch screen feels responsive 😯

I’m sure it also has something to do with that when you get older, you’ve had those experiences many more times than as a child. They just don’t feel that specia anymore.l
