This is a mystery you don’t want to solve.
You mean to say:
“If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear.”
How quick we are to adopt the logical fallacy of Joseph Goebbels when we want to protect our creature comforts, rather than our privacy.
Mildly interesting indeed!
It’d be even more interesting if an interface like this would estimate the carbon emissions per scheduled trip for these ships.
Surely one could estimate the impact based off of the ship class and distance.
Come to think of it, that’d also be interesting for a flight radar kind of website.
I hadn’t heard of a “self hostable Steam-like platform” before; after reading the above post I became very excited… until I read it doesn’t support a Linux client and isn’t FOSS.
Thank you for sharing this alternative! Configuring it for my homelab environment right now.
Replayability because the core gameplay loop is fun, I whole heartedly support. I still (re)play (Open)TTD for this very reason and that’s been here for decades with no end in sight.
Endgame however, not always required.
@StarkZarn@infosec.pub have you heard of NixOS? If you’d become a contributor with these bitesized posts that you’re doing you’d be increasing the repeatability of your work immensely.
No pressure. Just doing some evangelization 🙂
‘The endgame’ really only started to become a thing with te launch of live service games. Or more specifically at that time, MMO games.
There was a time when it was perfectly okay to have a game you thoroughly enjoyed for say 10-, 20-, or 30 hours, and then ‘ended the game’.
With game backlogs also having become a thing, I’m fine with playing a game like this, enjoying it while I am working through it, and then moving on to the next thing.
My own father was harsh, complicated, difficult to deal with.
I always thought I’d do the opposite.
What I learned later on was to ask my own children what their day was like, what excited them, how I could help them when they needed it most… and then you need to listen. Even if they’re asking silly things, things they have yet to learn, that’s how you find that connect.
And to some extent I try to balance the discipline by thinking, if I drop dead tomorrow, will I have prepared them as best as I could to become their own person? Will I have done it in a way that they’ll remember me fondly?
So far my kids have always said I am a great dad, all the same I ask myself if I could do better every day.
I think the question you started with here is the most important one though, how can you do great/better.
For the life of me I cannot fathom why that crowd doesn’t just switch to an Apple ecosystem when leaving Windows. The entire design philosophy is intended to cater to non-tech savvy people, and to keep them that way. Not saying every Apple user is non-tech savvy, but it is built to be stupid simple to use for anyone.
This YouTuber’s “I can install Linux but abandon it because I can’t figure out why it won’t boot anymore” mentality shows his own limitations.
Buy an Apple if you want to leave Windows, but have no interest in becoming proficient enough to use Linux as a main driver.
