Monkey With A Shell

Have to say that was a damn refreshing change from the vacant look and feel in the debate. May be far from perfect but I take that over the raving lunatic with an R by them any day.

Eat beaver and thine sin shall be forgiven, pretty sure that’s what she said…

I’m fairly sure if they took porn off the internet, there’d only be one website left, and it’d be called “Bring Back the Porn!”

I’m sure thoughts are influenced by the fact that the company I work for has a sizable presence there, but the very broad view I’ve developed is ‘outsourcing superpower’. It rarely seems that India is the owner or originator of things, but they end up doing a massive amount in supporting companies from the USA during what is our night hours. They also seem to have an exceptional dedication to their work despite from what I’ve seen the managers being kinda over-the-top with the demands on them.

I used to work with a young woman who left one of the wealthy families there to get out of an arranged marriage who had all kinds of interesting tales on how things worked there. Talked a bit about their 'gold room’s where they stored all their savings and if they needed extra cash would just shave off a piece from a brick.

Because anyone needs a few hundred rounds a minute for hunting or personal defense of course. Wonder if there’s a path to sanity by attacking the proponents of these things obvious lack of skill (spray and pray) that they need to compensate for. Can’t let anyone question their abilities right?

And the world was shocked, SHOCKED I say…

I guess a good bit of Emilie Autumn could fall into that class if I where to put tags on it.

Just saw on another post

I guess do you mean with the cartoonish demeanor or just boxing ones as a whole? Have seen a few on playstation systems like knockout kings but they try and be all serious with it.

Oh there are folks already claiming the ‘not until appeals’ bit. Basically anything to calm the dissonance between ‘law and order party’ and ‘convicted felon is out nominee’

That too, I haven’t delved into the whole AR space a lot but would plenty well like the option to connect something lightweight and have a virtual giant screen.

The other question I’d have for something like that is the contrast levels. If it ends up as a ‘ghost’ overlay it could make doing things with a lot of text/terminals a big strain to look at.

Make it cost less that $2K and enable the use of a standard OS and I’d give it a go. Would also be great if the glasses could somehow not be wired, but trying to power them for any length of time would be a pain.

Not much of a privacy risk if it where used for a dedicated purpose and just left off in a drawer otherwise though. My employers pushed the notion of MS authenticator, but left the options to use regular TOTP available, just had to look a bit to find them. Even if they absolutely forced corp software though, a cheap wifi-only setup device is a viable option.

Can you FF sync to a chromium browser?

Created my own docker pod and has worked for a long time. No updates in years, but how many features does it need really?

Long ago I used a system called hushmail that promised a lot of the same as proton. Eventually I set up my own but it still has the problem of having to relay outgoing external mail through another box because of all the restrictions on home based dynamic IPs, so it’s largely relegated to system alerts in house rather than general use.

It’s a balancing act to be sure. VPNs stop local ISP inspection in exchange for potential viewing by the VPN host. DNS filters can only filter known threats. Things like P2P private nets can be infiltrated by 3rd parties via the ‘6 degrees of separation’ premise or even tracking pixels.

Making the picture muddy is about the best we can do, but it’s always worth the effort to not be another data point in the profile machine.

Easy enough to change that

I guess it depends on what you’re looking for and what you consider flashy. I tend to do most of mine from GOG these days just out of a preference for avoiding DRM on principal. Found a few interesting ones just of the ‘cheap enough that it doesn’t matter if it’s not great’ types.

A major marker of quality for me tends to be if something just feels polished, like the menus make sense rather than looking like someone just stuck things where they could without though, but it could still run on a potato without making things melt.

Hardly the only, but not always the case either. I’d put some of it down to rose-colored nostalgia, some to the given fact that so much today is buying a base framework game and then selling 276 ‘addons’ to make it complete, and part to that back when systems didn’t have the power they do now developers couldn’t rely so much on all the flashy imagery and effects so they put more effort into the story and unique gameplay. A lot of smaller studio games pull that latter part off today still, but they’re sometimes harder to find.
