Hopefully instead of turning into a bunch of e-waste, a bunch of “useless” desktops flood refurbishers, and refurbished desktops become even cheaper. I wouldn’t mind replacing my dying media server.

Not every GET request is simple enough to cache, and not everyone is running something big enough to need a sysadmin.

Near zero isn’t zero though. And not everyone is using caching.

It has nothing to do with a sysadmin. It’s impossible for a given request to require zero processing power. Therefore there will always be an upper limit to how many get requests can be handled, even if it’s a small amount of processing power per request.

For a business it’s probably not a big deal, but if it’s a self hosted site it quickly can become a problem.

GET requests can still overload a system.

Paramount’s video player is ass. I have to fight it to start the video by reloading the page and clicking exactly in the right places. Then the player doesn’t pause when the space bar is pressed. And to top it off, the progress bar doesn’t disappear unless you click inside the window then float the mouse away. Fuck that noise. It isn’t worth it. What’s the point of paying if the service is broken?

Yar har.

They aren’t, it’s just an excuse.

No, they need to have perpetually increasing profits.

UniversalMonk potentially

One thing they’ve been saying that concerns me however, is that apparently there have been people getting banned from help forums and even the GitHub for criticism.

Perhaps there were people going too far and getting rightfully banned and some innocent people got caught in the crossfire?

They’ve addressed that:

a lot of the people complaining on twitter are not even gamedevs and don’t know what Godot is

You’re probably right. Homophobes aren’t the brightest of the bunch.

It doesn’t, though

Sure it does. I already explained how.

It doesn’t. Someone with a “left” view and a “right” view can cancel each other out,

Only if the person with a left view also has a right view. And only if the other person with the right view has a left view.

You seem confused. The point of it isn’t to give a fully accurate explanation of a person’s views on every topic. It’s to give somebody a general idea.

Plus, someone can say they are for something, but actually not support it in reality.

All political measurements fall victim to that. It’s a moot point. But just because some people are like that doesn’t mean everyone is.

Two people with wildly different views can occupy the same space

Not completely. If two people occupy a similar space, it means they agreed on something. That is meaningful. It’s vague, sure. But it isn’t completely random nonsense like astrology.

I just gave an example of how it is meaningful.

It’s definitely a terrible system, and there are better ones out there like 10Groups. But astrology is completely meaningless. The PCT at least tells you a vague (terrible, yes), but somewhat meaningful direction in which you believe.

For example, I know that since I’m libertarian left on the PCT, that I’m going to disagree with 90% of the things somebody who’s authoritarian right on the PCT believes.

Astrology doesn’t have that ability to reliably compare, since it is literally and completely meaningless.

But again, shit like 10Groups is better and everybody should switch to measures that have more than 2 axis.

This is exactly the thing I’ve been looking for. It saves everything as a sqlite db, and has csv export options. So you’re not fucked over if you need to switch to something else. It’s compatible for linux/windows.

And the import options seem pretty good too.

Congrats, you’ve made me spend the whole day switching everything over to that lol.

The only real issue is that one of my banks deals with more than one type of currency. So I’ve had to write a custom script to handle that. But all in all, this is a massive upgrade for me. Thank you for this recommendation.

just finished bioshock, wow!

Fantastic series, I’m glad you liked it, because I sure did as well.

I’m sure you’re already loaded up with a backlog of recommendations and games you bought but haven’t yet touched. But I’d highly recommend FTL: Faster Than Light, as well as Into The Breach. They’re both from the same publisher, and are both amazing games that arguably are a defining feature of modern gaming.

I hear there are cheats for call of duty type things that people pay subscriptions for. I don’t get it.

Yeah, I’m right there with you. Could not care less about subscriptions, let alone for cheat subscriptions.

Thanks for sharing your experiences mate.

Of course. Enjoy whatever is next on your list!

I will admit I’m making some strong, harsh statements. But I think that’s a pretty natural result of living in the U.S., a country who’s cops operate closer to a gang than Rescue Heroes. They kill minorities with virtual immunity. They racially profile people. The list goes on.

Somebody who intentionally joins a group like that does not have good intentions, or is ok with their buddies not having good intentions, or gets kicked out quickly for tattling on their fellow cops. So yeah, cops are never on your side, at least not here.
