Lego. I mean, it’s perfectly appropriate for all ages, but some people (mostly older folks) still seem to think it’s for children only.

The level of categorization they do is kinda crazy. Looking for some barefoot woman wearing jeans? (241 images) Or maybe interested in churches in Ecuador photographed in 2007? Of course they have that! (45 images)

The ending of Telltale’s Walking Dead season 1

SimCity 4. That was before the franchise went to shit.
I dunno why exactly, but I just don’t get the same enjoyment out of Skylines or other city builders.

Reading this thread, I’m so glad I live in a country where government procedures at least somewhat make sense. I don’t think there’s any other place where the government failing to pass a budget wouldn’t mean that government collapsing, new elections being called, and civil servants keeping the lights on until a new government is formed. It’s crazy that the biggest economy in the world can just stop paying its employees because two political parties can grind the whole system to a halt.

I recently set up the whole stack (Postfix, Dovecot, OpenDKIM) on a VPS. I wanted to do it from home, but my ISP won’t provide a static IP or open ports 25/465/587 for consumer customers, no exceptions.

It took me about two days to get everything working, but most of that was because I went in with very little knowledge of how email even actually works. If you’re looking for a learning experience, I’d say go for it. If you just want a working email setup quickly, I wouldn’t recommend it.

I haven’t noticed any deliverability issues so far. Just make sure you have SPF, DKIM, DMARC, and PTR records all set correctly from the start.

I have Mint on my laptop, manage Ubuntu Servers at work, run Debian on my home servers, have a working LFS build on my old pc, but use Windows on my main desktop. Where am I on the chart?

I was wondering the same thing. I checked my email, and over the past month I’ve received an email about policy changes from:

Discord
Anthropic (Claude)
Nintendo
YouTube
Meta
Airbnb
Microsoft

I don’t think it can be just a coincidence. At least a couple of them specifically mention the UK’s Online Safety Act so maybe that’s the reason?

It’s up to each app developer whether they wanna use the new API. According to the docs linked in this thread, each app needs to ask the user separately which option they prefer (so as of right now, there isn’t a system wide option for it).

So it’s not very clear to me why that option exists, even as a developer setting. Maybe Android itself uses it for its UI, but it’s still in the testing phase? Someone who has their phone set to one of those gendered languages could test it to see if changing the setting actually changes anything.

Even if most of the time they might not benefit anyone, it takes like 30 seconds tops to add one so why wouldn’t we. They can also be easily generated with AI, one of the actually useful use cases for it.

Thanks for this. My phone is in Finnish and that option has been incorrectly translated (“Kieliopillinen suku” ≈ “Grammatical family”, but family as in your relatives) and when I noticed it I wondered what that hell that meant and google didn’t help. Makes sense now.

Depends who you ask I guess, but at least Tor isn’t illegal there, is it?

Running a Tor relay, even an exit node, is not illegal in most jurisdictions. However, exit node operators may receive a large number of abuse reports and legal threats, which they must properly answer to avoid further trouble and that’s why it’s not recommended for the individuals to run an exit node.

For those living under authoritarian regimes where Tor might be illegal, the risks are obviously significantly greater.

Not really, as long as you don’t run an exit node

The internet got way more complicated since then with all the dynamically loaded and generated content. I don’t think the plugin would work very well these days.

It’s a-me, Mario!

From Assassin’s Creed 2. Might be known from some other game too, I dunno.

Reminds me of this
