Monopoly is literally capitalist propaganda. Parker Brothers basically stole the game from its creator and then offered $500 for the rights. They modified the game to be more focused on owning everything.

Cautionary Tales has a great episode about Lizzie J. Magie and how she originally created the Landlord's Game.

It's the Law of Diminishing Returns and has been studied extensively in Economics.

runswithjedi ,

It's more ironic than satirical. Parker Brothers has absolutely used their power as a large game publisher to squeeze out smaller competitors.

Now I need an explainer for the structure of Vsr-like homing endonucleases.

This is so fucked up, what a blatant grift. Now that they've angered some of the most intense programmers online, I wonder what they'll do.

runswithjedi ,

By this logic Bud Light drinkers eat their buds.

runswithjedi OP ,

It doesn't affect Android and Linux is the only OS with the possibility of a fix. I've seen people suppose that Android just always ignores option 121. My guess for Linux is that, because system level changes are allowed, you can modify the system to ignore option 121.

I'm not a network engineer, so I do not know this for sure. Does anyone else know more about it?

runswithjedi OP ,

Yep, https://dnsleaktest.com is your friend

runswithjedi OP ,

The exploit is possible because the local network may have a rogue DHCP server overwriting IP routes. If you're on a mobile network, they are the local network. TunnelVision means a mobile carrier can spy on your VPN traffic now. Unless you run Android.

runswithjedi OP ,

I think the new thing is that VPN usage is fairly mainstream now. There are lots of services that advertise themselves as having the ability to hide all traffic. It's certainly news to me, as I hadn't even heard of a VPN in 2003. The researchers do say that this has been possible since 2002.

It has an atmosphere like Venus has an atmosphere, except the surface temperature is more than 3x that of Venus. Still, it's fascinating that its atmosphere would be a secondary one that comes from the planet itself.

That just means you're a really cool person.

It's out now! The prologue for my solo project, a roguelike tower defense, is live. Check it out. ( store.steampowered.com )

About the game: A tower defense action roguelike where you control a single tower to fight against hordes of aliens coming from all directions. Pick your tower, equip up to 4 skills, and choose from a variety of traits and items to craft powerful builds that lead you to victory....

runswithjedi ,

A single central tower is a really cool concept! I generally don't like tower defense games because I get overwhelmed with bouncing around and managing multiple towers.

I'll try the prologue next time I game. Thank you!

What are you talking about? It's super easy to gaslight someone. You're clearly wrong. Why even make that comment?

Maybe their users are getting Claude away.

Another Boeing executive is quoted as saying, "We don't falsify records, we embellish them." When a reporter asked what the difference was, the executive responded, "You know, you seem like a real go-getter and like to dig into the truth. We've got plenty of whistleblower positions open, would you like the job?"

More like "Give America Up" to the orange one.

runswithjedi ,

What are the legitimate uses of option 121?

runswithjedi ,

I'm having difficulty picking out what's true and isn't.

I still need to understand everything. My thirst has only grown over the years. I cultivate my curiosity by reading things that I'm not directly interested in, sometimes grinding through articles that I find boring.

Ars Technica does a great job of covering a multitude of topics while making them interesting even if I know nothing about them. Check them out: https://arstechnica.com/

Instead of scrolling on social media, try going directly to a website's homepage and reading all the articles. You'll learn a lot and maybe find something you didn't know you were interested in!

runswithjedi ,

I hadn't heard of that and at just a glance their stuff looks spectacular! I do watch a mixture of channels on YouTube. I'll list some of my favorites.

  • Kurzgesagt - various topics (GOAT for sure)
  • NileRed - chemistry
  • Stuff Made Here - engineering
  • Corridor Crew - movie/TV stuff like VFX, CGI, stunts, etc.

Yep, our library has a 3D printer and they'll make anything you want for a very low cost, like a couple dollars. I've never tried but I want to. What should I ask them to make? Any suggestions?

runswithjedi ,

What kind of car? Is there a specific car model that has a render ready for printing?

runswithjedi ,

These are great ideas! Maybe I'll do a set of Chess pieces 🤔

runswithjedi ,

What's that little red thing on its "head"? It kind of looks like a mini maggot.

runswithjedi ,

Ooo, I like this. But there would need to be checks to make sure it isn't abused. You wouldn't want some troll community saying it's associated with gaming, or any similar scenario.

runswithjedi ,

I listen to more than 20,000 minutes of music every year, according to Spotify. The vast majority are songs I've never heard before and I'm constantly finding new songs I love.

runswithjedi , (edited )

Sure, here's 3!

Falle Nioke, sir Was: Wonama yo ema

Joe Goddard, Mara Carlyle: She Burns

Mixhell, Joe Goddard, Mutado Pintado: Crocodile Boots - Soulwax Remix

Edit: and here's the first song from my Discover Weekly playlist today. Already off to a good start!

Mark Novas: Sweet Mistake

A Monday first calendar means he's living the right way.

What's the controversy? That is basically amounts to dropping support in those countries?

runswithjedi ,

Oh, that's terrible. No refunds for them?

runswithjedi ,

It's a bait-and-switch. There was no PSN requirement at first and they didn't restrict purchases by country.

“We have (and still do) traveled across our country standing up for our constitution, and have met most of you face to face. There's no time like the present to come together and organize our states, to build them stronger with true patriots (not people pretending to be Patriots and using groups for dating sites),” Demere wrote in a post last year.

(emphasis mine)

This part made me LOL. I just imagined the post "white male, 55, virgin, looking for white female, 25, virgin, no kids, will cook, clean, bear my children, support my will to overthrow the American government."

If you’re faced with the tradeoff between security and another priority, your answer is clear: Do security. In some cases, this will mean prioritizing security above other things we do, such as releasing new features or providing ongoing support for legacy systems.

I respect this. I'd be very happy if my boss told me this and I would feel empowered to build great products. I hope this sentiment spreads through the industry.

runswithjedi ,

I really wish my parents would have asked me before doing that.

This is awesome, so many memories flooding back.

Has anyone tried the Android APK?

runswithjedi ,

That kind of sounds like Chip's Challenge, but no mice involved. Lots of blocks and pushing, though.

The problem is that it's easier to buy a gun than it is to go to a doctor.

The bright green dot on the left is bothering me so much. Why is it there??
