If it’s still 2e there is just no reason to make you plan a whole turn for the non-spellcasters every time. 90% of the time you want them to keep attacking the guy you told them to attack last turn. Carefully selecting your auto-pause options should give you full control almost every time that you need to actually make a decision.

If they’re reimagining the whole game with the modern rules, then obviously having units take one turn at a time makes more sense, because otherwise it’s not clear what you’d do with things like bonus actions.

I have one. I use it to play fighting games and old arcade ports, mostly. I like it because I learned to play those games on arcade hardware as a kid, so it has the right feel for me.

I suspect the claimed “99.98% accuracy” is counting out of all faces scanned, which is a bullshit way to make the tech look good. Most faces are not marked as shoplifters in the database. A system that literally does nothing would probably still have greater than 99% accuracy.

What we really want to know is what percentage of reported matches are accurate, and I bet it isn’t anywhere near 99%.

They use a modified version of the AGPL that includes a requirement to use their logo.

They also, in a separate subsection, note that no permission is granted to use their trademarks.

As far as I can tell, the goal is to create a catch-22 that prevents you from forking the project: if you don’t include the logo, they complain that you didn’t include it, and if you include the logo they complain that you’re infringing their trademark.

Edit: Or more specifically, OnlyOffice’s position is that the logo requirement is not a modification because they think it’s an attribution requirement allowed under section 7(b).

the obligation to retain the original product logo (Section 7(b));

the denial of any rights to use the copyright holder’s trademarks (Section 7(e)).

Uhhh is it just me or is it impossible to follow the first requirement without violating the second one? The logo requirement seems engineered to make sure that you can’t actually fork the project: if you include the original logo, they can hit you for trademark violation, and if you don’t include the logo they can say you violated their license terms.

It looks like the patch has improvements for the server, so you might look into upgrading!

Okay, I’m gonna ask: why is reddit not social media?

That makes sense. I figured they were worried that an alternate OS would be more likely to exploit their encryption somehow, but if it’s all using industry standard hardware then it really ought to be open.

According to the linked article it prevents the use of Samsung Pay and access to the Secure Folder (an extra layer of security you can enable that requires a second PIN to be input before you can access certain apps and files). This seems pretty reasonable, the goal is clearly to prevent access to especially sensitive data if someone has stolen the phone.

And you’re a prescriptivist!

Ah, well the figures in the article aren’t based on any grey market stuff, so you’d have to look somewhere else to find out what the ISK-to-USD conversion looks like.

I was under the impression that you could only put real money into the game, not get it out.

You can spend real money to buy pilot license extensions (PLEX), which can be redeemed by the holder for subscription time. You don’t have to redeem it right away, and PLEX can be sold to other players. So there is a USD to ISK exchange rate based on the market value of PLEX, but you can’t turn PLEX back into dollars.

Wait did I misunderstand what bikeshedding is? I thought it was the phenomenon where people who have input on project management, but not the skills/background/inclination to wrestle with the hard parts of the project, tend to focus on peripheral issues that they understand better. So, for example, a committee that is supposed to be planning a new hospital spends meeting after meeting arguing about the particulars of the construction of the bike shed, but just rubber stamps the first suggestion they get regarding OR floor plans or whatever, because the committee members can all understand bike sheds but most of them don’t use operating rooms.

If the problem is that you’re thinking of buying a new laptop, it doesn’t seem like bikeshedding to spend time thinking about what kind of laptop you’d like.

Serious question: what problems does the default keyboard have that Florisboard is trying to solve? I’ve never looked at the Android keyboard and thought “I wish this worked differently,” except maybe when I switch languages by accident.

This is the second or third version of this story that I’ve heard in this comment chain and I’m having trouble searching for articles about the original incident, hits from the new one are flooding the results. Do you happen to have a link to more info?

Also, because this isn’t anywhere near the first time Emiru has been attacked in public, she points out that she’s spent tens of thousands of dollars for her own private security, and wasn’t even allowed to bring her preferred bodyguard with her because he’s permanently banned from Twitch events due to restraining a stalker during a previous event.

What the fuck? They banned her bodyguard for protecting her and then asked her to come back without him? It’s like they wanted her to get assaulted.

This article is about the big gap in similar games that occurred after the release of Icewind Dale 2 in 2002. And as the article says, it has nothing to do with their popularity among gamers, it was due to retailers throwing their weight around. There weren’t as many good options for direct-to-consumer sales at that time, so you had to sell the game to retailers before you could sell it to customers.

I’m not saying they definitely weren’t cheating, but I have definitely hit some shots in my time that seemed impossible. If you fire enough rockets at corners that you think someone might come around, or in games with snipers that penetrate cover, take blind guesses through walls, you’re going to get lucky eventually.

Edit to add: just saying, the line is blurry indeed. But I think if I got kicked over it, I’d be a good sport about it! “Got kicked for cheating because I was too l33t” would be such a good story. I’m sure some people have had it happen.

He absolutely would have sold your data if there were any buyers for it. Microsoft was still a terrible company in the Clippy era, there just were fewer opportunities to be terrible in this particular way at the time.

These lists of red flags make me feel like I must be a replicant. I wrote a comment just like that one, em dash and all, on a different site just the other day, with my own organic brain!

My first instinct was to use an em dash instead of that last comma, but it seemed too on the nose.
