to be fair what has happened to oblivion is that the game still runs entirely on the old creation engine, but the renderer and all the graphics assets have been swapped for unreal engine. you get old bugs as well as new bugs.

for the biggest crypto investors it isn’t even really gambling. they use celebrities to hype a memecoin and then rug pull and split the profits harvested from the celebrity’s fans.

there’s probably some primordial vampire or anti-vampire god going through each case one by one and either letting the vampire come in or not, and it all happens in an instant. i imagine the results would change with the political ideology of said god.

it is a way to vent, and venting/relieving stress can be pretty good. it doesn’t really solve the underlying problem and actually adds some problems of its own, but y’know.

- Comment on Zero-day: Bluetooth gap turns millions of headphones into listening stations 1 month ago:
phones are already very full and dense, and a headphone jack is a very large component. plus, the Bluetooth is simply part of the small SoC, it’s a microscopic size. That doesn’t mean I prefer Bluetooth, but it makes some sense.
- Comment on Zero-day: Bluetooth gap turns millions of headphones into listening stations 1 month ago:
as someone has been fiddling with dongles for years, it’s not that bad, and you can just permanently connect your headphones to your dongle. the apple dongle is excellent and beyond enough for iems and a lot of headphones. I personally have one dongle + iems for my phone and another dongle + headphones for my PC, and that setup works really well for me. You might want to consider it. Otherwise, those big beefy Bluetooth headphones might be semi-repairable, and there are of course also Fairphone Bluetooth earbuds that are apparently fairly repairable (though I know nothing about those). At least you can replace the batteries and the ear tips or pads, and that’s usually enough to last you a decade with these things.

- Comment on The 16‑kilobyte curtain. How Russia’s new data‑capping censorship is throttling Cloudflare 2 months ago:
i meant other types of captchas as well, but yes, cloudflare is fairly configurable. I also know other captchas can be more aggressive. And of course captchas can also block or harass “high privacy” configuration browsers and clients, and there’s also the strategy of infinite delay, where a captcha is never quite sure you’re really a human, so you have to work through 12 phases of it only to have to do the exact same thing again the next time you’re on the site. Recaptcha V3 with its “automatic” background captcha is also in a surprising amount of places you’d never know about unless you’re infected with some kind of The-Mainstream-Internet-Hates-You disease. Captchas discriminating against poor countries isn’t some big secret though, as far as I’m aware it’s fairly well known.

- Comment on Israel once again openly declaring genocidal intentions against civilians from the very start. 2 months ago:
Some people just don’t have the capability to hold back, and I don’t think it’s necessarily fair to have their side lose an argument on principle just like that, especially if they do actually face an injustice. In petty drama like relationship issues there are techniques of coaxing the underlying problem out of people who wouldn’t otherwise be able to articulate themselves, for example nonviolent communication. Its main system is that you find out via targeted questioning what emotions you’re feeling, and which needs (satisfied or unsatisfied) contribute to those feelings (loneliness, sadness, frustration <- the need for human connection is unsatisfied), and why those needs are in the state they are (for example your partner has paid a little less attention to you because work recently became more stressful, or the current political climate is stressful). After figuring out the root causes you do some brainstorming to figure out targeted solutions, and often you can find solutions that satisfy everybody’s needs. The key to it is its unique way of communicating with each other, which takes effort but is often exactly what you need. And as I mentioned, it often has a magical effect on people who somehow just can’t seem to solve their own problems, usually due to chronic miscommunication. It’s definitely a learned skill, but it helps a ton. 10/10 would recommend.
