What? Custom game modes is ABSOLUTELY on their radar. Less so than the main game for sure, but to say ZK doesn't support custom game modes is flat out wrong.

Because ZK doesn't have an exponential economy, each unit is important, even the cheap ones. There's also metal reclaim in battles, which tends to be about half of your econ. So fights become terf wars to make sure the enemy doesn

That is usually referred to as "pseudonymization" For your world, maybe. For most things with a public face, "anonymization" is what's used, not "pseudonymization". So yes, this article is referrin

A lot of it exists to sell your lat/lng and trip information to organizations like Wejo, who then goes on to sell it to gov organizations.

Used to use a co-working space for my own stuff. Mostly to get out of the house. In the two years I was there, in the same building, the co-working company changed three times. Mostly the same layout and all that, but everything/one el

You're attributing way more malice than I think is warranted. Take a breath, friend. I've been largely calm and collected in this conversation, but you've (ironically) raised this to a higher adversarial point. I have no ill

Not political messages, but the first time I used the start menu in windows 10 after years away... They showed an MSN article for Kim Kardashian. Within seconds it completely validated my dislike of windows.

Erm? Preaching to the choir there. The Linux VM was only used because I wasn't allowed to wipe Windows from my work machine. It was the best alternative for the situation.

/proc is amazing once you get the hang of it and get a good understanding of what's all in there. Especially if you're doing low level performance tuning. It's particularly helpful in larger infrastructures where tool v

When an old employer required us to use windows, I just built a Linux VM that was always set to fullsceen. Surprisingly they were okay with it, so maybe you'll have the same luck?

"slightest bit of irritation or frustration in response." I'll admit I could have been kinder, but I'm not sure I'd call their irritation "slight". You're really downplaying the (clearly intentional)

Muckrock.com is a wonderful source of information as a starting point. It has many, many, many requests publicly online. They also run documentcloud.org, which has many millions of documents received through FOIA. There are definitely group

Thank you! I genuinely appreciate the kind words. I'm hopeful I'll have the next one out by the end of the year. A less successful story, but it's a good'n.

Friend, I don't know how to say this politely, but I'll try my best: you're really missing something fundamental here and I'm not sure what it is or why you're so persistent on thinking it's okay to allow a gov

For mail with someone else's name on it, sure. But in this case, the "mail" had my name on the front, back and side... plus a username and password that only I know. So yeah, not sure that really applies here.

Easy. If I receive an email from them that contains an outlook 365 email header, then they use Outlook 365. So then just send them the command that works with outlook 365. It's literally that simple. I have a good idea of what the amou

Maybe. But again, please try to view it as an expression of years and years of frustration. The stakes are high with this shit. When we are denied access to records, the implications are often as serious as literal deaths, sexual violence,

I've spoken to many people inside government who work on the open data side. To be blunt: the signal to noise ratio isn't very good in terms of whether someone actually knows what they're talking about. So please consider my

None of this is open data. Open data is data that's released on a discretionary basis; often times a FOIA request for the same data found within open data has a legal requirement for redaction. We see this happen all the time. What&#x2

Heh, the city called me a good samaritan for acting in good faith, plus completely redid their entire process afterwards, including escalation paths to make this sort of thing less aggressive and conflict oriented in the future. So, uh, I&#

This was definitely not my first rodeo and I like to think I've done a good job in acting in good faith in future similar instances [1] for example. Every time I've reported something, the other side acts differently every single

Very much so! Since writing, I've since gone into freelance investigative journalism and nonprofit work focusing on gov transparency. A lot of what I learned has fortunately been applicable to a lot of investigative work. I need to wri

Yep, someone in a separate thread was curious about similar work so I figured I'd post it again. Edited the title to make it clear it's from 2018.
