It's a lot smaller of a community than HN, so it will naturally have a smaller range of opinions merely due to the fact that it has a lot fewer users. That said, I don't believe it's as much of a hivemind as you've portr

I'm aware of what it means now. It used to have a more specific meaning than just "You die and loose everything than you have a meta upgrade loop". That was part of what it meant but not all. The "Berlin interpretation&q

"Rogue-like" is the most over-used term these days. It now has almost no meaning, compared to what it used to mean.

I think those are bishops, and they have different colors based on which color spaces they start on.

In this game, I think _some_ of the less general terms (stricter definition) also apply: turn-based movement, grid-based movement.

Adult websites were never banned on those, as far as I recall.

Is Let's Encrypt the only provider of SSL certificates? Genuine question! Because I assumed there were other places you could get a SSL certificate, but people in this thread seem to be implying that without Let's Encrypt, there&#

A government falls under "entity". So it's about normal people AND governments (and other entities). Still needs updating if it's supposed to only apply to governments, though.

At work, we use Google Workspaces so that we have gmail and google docs and google sheets, and the "features" noted in this post have all shown up for us. That said, we were able to turn them off and haven't been bothered by

The title of the thread itself says "Mega Drive-Style Shoot-Em-Up" (which implies it's not a Mega Drive game bit just one made in that style), so it's likely that's what's tripping people up.

That phrase was in the parenthetical and as such doesn't seem to directly apply to the claim of "WASD is the OG OP way to navigate." Additionally, I was referring to the PRH Stellar Navigation Chart when I said we're not

Considering we're not discussing a game, it seems like a perfectly valid comparison.

I was in a kind of similar situation. Didn't watch it when it was originally airing, though I could have. I eventually watched it decades later and absolutely loved it. That said, it was pre-The Expanse. But I still think it holds up p

I don't know if I'd say it's the OG way. Both HJKL and numpad predate WASD, I think.

> So open sourcing would not harm any of those income streams. Obsidian's income streams are based on Obsidian having easy-to-use easy-to-setup ways to sync and publish built-in. If Obsidian were open source, someone could fork it a

Are you trying to make a pun with byte/bite relating to nibble? Because that's actually where the term nibble (referring to 4 bits) comes from, so I'm not sure such a pun even counts as a pun anymore. Or am I misinterpreting

Doesn't seem remotely fair to consider lock-in caused by plugins to be an Obsidian lock-in. If the plugin is storing data in such a way that it's not usable in a tool other than Obsidian, that's 100% the plugin's fault,

If that's so, then without numbers, it's neither usable nor unusable.

So ICANN is alright because they're protecting them for free, but Cloudflare is bad because they're protecting them for money?

All they have to do is say "national security" again and then they're in the clear (in their minds, at least).

I used to keep my old TI-82 (or was it -84?) from high school and a simpler sturdy solar-powered calculator near my desk, but I realized I always just used either my computer (IRB in the terminal usually) or Apple's calculator app on m

I think the other way to think of it is: You're still free to do whatever you want with a the repo. The restriction is happening on the LLM's end, so ultimately it's the LLM's fault, so use a LLM without the restriction

Are contributor guidelines that must be followed also no different from DRM in your view? Plenty of projects have those.

I'm not quite sure I follow your question. Are you asking how do I know that someone who loses their job needed their job to afford groceries? If so, I guess I felt it was a safe assumption that the people working at grocery stores are

Who do you think feels the effect of fraud/theft at retail stores? The "rich" owners feel a little of it, sure, but they have a proven strategy for keeping their profits up by reducing costs: fire employees and make those who

It's odd to see this comment, since I've always had the opposite experience (at least when comparing Windows and MacOS -- I haven't used desktop linux much in the past 20 years). On MacOS, when I click something, something ha

I think separate vaults being in different window is probably intentional behavior to clearly show that they're separate vaults, not something that needs to be fixed. If you want to sync only some of the things from a single vault and
