Factorio. Aside from that, don't be afraid of using proton to play windows games. If the game has been out for a while, Steam should make everything "Just work" (assuming no online play)

I don't know about this one @dang. Respectfully I took a look at his comment history, and while they have some "spicy" comments, it doesn't seem to be for trolling purposes. I won't disagree that perhaps he broke th

The hoops they have to jump through just to enable some really cool features down the line is sad. I don't know why adding another opt in wasn't enough, it's not like the haters are going to believe they deleted the templates

I mean, they opted in (it's off by default) so I would think so.

Or if they would have rubbed 2 brain cells together in 2005 and actually tried to come up with an attractive web presence. It's like the news media saw what was happening with music and napster/the internet and thought, "Glad

We'll see how much "quality" we get out of tclaburn but I don't think it's gonna be an article full of numbers and facts, but rather outrage and feelings, judging by the "quality" that newspaper tends to p

Yeah, but you're not entitled to use their servers. If your use of their servers is something they don't like, their freedom is to blackhole your packets

To kinda tweak this since people do tend to like their anonymity, "Do you have to be anonymous to all parties, all the time?" Parent poster trusts his bank, and his bank would trust his once it knows he's not an fraudster, so

If I'm understanding you correctly, Mirroring is simply about repeating, verbatim, the last part of what someone said, right?

It's like people forgot the war that old media waged on blogs in the early 2000's. It's never been a secret that old media hasn't been able to deal with the implications of a internet connected world would bring.

Exactly, the second Facebook publishes a new API, no matter how many permission dialogues you have to jump through, the NYT will be champing at the bit to write another "data sharing agreement" story. They love to take the most ba

The share buyback amount seems kinda high, I guess they are expecting even more free cash flow in the future?

I've seen the same on various other forums and have been surprised/impressed how far their operations have improved over the years.

To be able to track your location from accelerator data, they would first need a fine grain location fix on your position, which if your granted that to the app, then I don't see the problem.

There has been a lot of weird reporting around this topic. From the beginning where there was no numbers to back up the news stories, to people creating weird manager strawmen to make it seem like any company that wanted people back in the

Not anonymity, but some method to ensure 1 "account" maps to exactly 1 person would go a long way to getting some sanity back. I don't care what you call yourself, as long as I'm sure you are a singular , real, person.

I did think one of the replies was intersting: "What is going on is that thousands of "reporters" blame FB for the collapse of their industry, and this is payback. Forget the truth, they want blood. Fortunately they have sp

It would nice if they offered some sort of lambda that could run against your entire newsfeed inventory that would rank the stories. You want most recent? OC first? MSI first? Fine it's just a simple function that you would be able to

DNS was very much a proximate cause. In most cases you want your anycast dns servers to shoot themselves in the head if they detect their connection to origin to be interrupted. This would have been an big outage anyways just at a differen

Seems like it. It's kinda like typing hostname and accidentally poking your yubikey (Not that I've done that...) or the date command that both let's you set the date and format the date

The issue I would imagine is that during this outage some people needed badge access that had previously been revoked due to covid. All of the caching doesn't help if your source of truth is offline.

This is kinda insightful to hear. Do you happen to have an Instagram? Would love to hear your thoughts on it.

It can't show up on their timeline, mainly because they "Never had a Facebook" or "deleted their Facebook a day/month/year ago and it instantly made them better/happier/sexier"

Nope, for the most part all the ads that Facebook serves are for facebook owned sites and properties. They don't sell data, or have general ad placements on 3rd party websites.
