There’s lots of other computer science topics I know very well (AIs being one of them funnily enough) but even I would zone out if you didn’t bring a little attendance present and a live demonstration when I need to listen to you explain it.

“Smart City” is a concept of a modern city, where a bunch of different things like pollution or traffic density can be put into data, collected and evaluated, so that we can have quick access to the status of a whole city.

Things to use this for: avoiding bad traffic, planning new city projects like bridges or even looking where you can save money on a city budget.

Currently there’s quite a few cities and projects who act as case studies but this is all preparation, we still need lots of science until we can make use of the full potential of this idea.

Well, licorice is definitely up there.

There’s some pralines that with some alcohol based filling that’s also really gross.

But I still remember I was a kid and my parents bought these cheese crackers. They were awful, the it was a bit crumbly but they had this really bad taste of something I can only describe as for fungus & cream cheese. I literally had to take a break and concentrate on not barfing even though we just wanted to play tabletop games. I know it’s not sweet but that stuff lives rent-free in my head to this day.

Guys wtf. You are all angry about something the court literally addresses in his ruling. Please always read the full rulings.

He looks very polite. Like he will stroll through your garden but respect the privacy of your flowers.

That is so stupid it makes me mad.

WotC and Hasbro are truly the Dalton’s of tabletop gaming.

The Csam caching is the worst issue.

So many countries basically regulate that if you have Csam on your PC you can go to jail. So if you’re hosting, and even if it gets deleted, that still means it was on the server. And that shit is bad.

Legally frightening.

I think this is not the right community for random news

This does not address the issue of choosing the server though. This only works if the standard option for your server is reliable and rotated per registration.

I love this. Imagine the gnawing of teeth when Putin realizes the smaller country he attacked gets so much recognition from the new pope. He must be livid. I’m so happy about this.

Weird frog dude

NGL giving them lots of grace, I can still see this being one employee lifting things and getting away with it. Ofc this is extending a whole olive tree to Bungie, but it’s still possible.

That said, there is a pattern suggesting at least someone has done this intentionally and managed to not get fired for it for quite a while and that’s very poor management. If it happened once, I could even see a stern talk, but if they’re not fired the second time they do it, that’s on management and on the whole company.

I’m, so sorry for the other artists and devs working on this game who basically get all of their work undermined by party fouls from someone else.

then they came for the civilians. And I didn’t speak up, because I wasn’t a civilian.

Yeah Thomas Mann’s poem is still relevant and more people need to read it and understand it.

If you “only follow commands”, you are still implicated in every action. If you are a cop you are literally one of the checks in the system of checks and balances.

Yeah this one stings but it needs to be brought up, so we can make this way easier.

There’s gotta be a way to design this so users can partly skip the process of searching for a good platform. Maybe using a controversial AI solution for recommending a platform based on some Keywords from the user? Maybe just based on a random algorithm for trusted servers? Maybe as you interact we make it easy to switch servers and as soon as you like the feed you can join?

There’s gotta be something better. I hope we get there.

If we get to the point where people can overcome the entry barrier, I think this will also increase user retention and the overall fediverse literacy on the platforms themselves.

Me.

Pretty sure it’s been a while since we found well preserved historical items from the second world war.

That’s what my estrogen dealer told me as well

That makes perfect sense.

For me the most annoying thing is that no one is pure evil, neither is he. So it’s hard to just blame him and and be done with it. Things are always complicated. A lot of the time there’s no one to blame. Because that doesn’t help. Not him, but also not yourself.

One thing though: you said there will always be a place in your heart for him and that you will always support him. Please make sure you prioritize yourself. Don’t give him too much of your time and energy. If you are a friend of him, he is a friend of yours. It’s real easy for people to invest everything just for some “what if”.

Someone needs to think of you and if it’s not him, it has to be yourself. Things will become normal, but until then someone needs to watch out for you.

Yes.

I always say the Internet is more vast than it is comprehensive. You will find infinite things. Infinite good things, but also infinite bad things, and infinite things on most topic.

But certain actors on there have an interest to highlight bad things. That makes it real easy to slip into a negative feedback loop. And there’s so much, you will into a bottomless hole.

And that’s when you always gotta peek your head over the horizon and look for things outside of your periphery. Because there’s more than problems.

Even if you look back at where we’ve come from, the amount of struggles we’ve overcome already as a society is hard to fathom.

My point is, either look for both negative and positive news accountings, or do neither and focus on a topic like games, or woodworking, or astronomy and just keep away from the sensational news pieces.

There’s more to life than news anyway.

That’s a lot.

It sounds like he only wants to be friends.

The things he is upset about are his issues. You are not his girlfriend, so you don’t need to address them because they don’t really concern him.

He is trying to set boundaries and it looks like he’s not good at it. It sounds like this is bad for both of you. But it looks like at this point there’s not gonna be a relationship.

The only thing you can do is find a way to move on. All the good things, but all the bad things as well will stop and things will be different, but there’s nothing really you can do. However what you two do together is up to you. If you need some time to process, tell him and take your time. If you think you can go back to being friends - try it, but be mindful this will be hard.

You are not your mistakes, and some of the things he said are his issues to deal with. Your body count? Sure he can be upset but that’s not on you to change. You told him the truth and the only thing he can do is accept it or break up and move on.

Right now it sounds like you two are not a great fit. He doesn’t value you enough to trust you, and you are trying to hold onto him even though he doesn’t trust you.

Maybe at some point things can be different but not right now and you need to have a life outside of him so you don’t get hung up on mind games.

Somewhere there’s someone who loves you for all you are but if it’s not him then that’s how it is. And if it is him, then there’s a lot of things he needs to learn before it might work. Don’t wait for that, you need to keep doing you for now.

Lots of love for Starbound, that game is underrated af.
