I still cant properly articulate why I didn’t like Eternal but loved 2016. So, part of me thinks this looks cool as hell but worries I won’t have fun with it again. Not sure what to think.

Dont get me wrong, this will work for awhile. It would be a ton of work to just rearrange all this. Keep those k9 patrols beefy and control contraband. I think metal detectors are gonna help, cant tell if you have those.
- Comment on (my first time here sorry) prison review and suggestions 4 days ago:
Been a long time and I know they updated a lot since then but…
It looks like you built out a ton of facilities before you have enough inmates to use them. Probably will run into problems if you dont have a good profit going, so I would try to leave more of a buffer. I think license plates and woodshop were decent money makers. I wouldn’t accept too many max sec prisoners until that is going. They are more profitable to have but the contraband from those two shops is useful for escapes so you need good security.
I separate my cell blocks, and usually centralize them a bit. If you keep min security, med and max separate from eachother you can manage their security needs better and usually keep maxers from killing others as much. Especially separate any CIs in their own section. Keeping it central means they need to tunnel further. Make sure K9 patrols around each block as well as your overall perimeter. The large perimeter is the last chance to catch but its huge so you really want to catch them earlier.
I think your chapel can be way smaller. I just dont remember it needing to be that big. Dont be afraid to build multiple of each room type to continue keeping the different security types separate. You can use schedules to help with that too if you need to have them use the same room area. Early on when I couldn’t afford that I would make sure they all took their meals separate I pretty much dont let max sec go anywhere they can get weapons or tools, so I just have them use a small caf and maybe small chapel of their own, or whatever need they have to satisfy. Pretty sure when they mix they give eachother contraband so watch out for that.
One other thing I did was make special guard only access hallways. These things would let the guards get around a lot more easily which will help reduce overall staffing needs - otherwise it takes too much time to get around. Its gotta be quick and easy to get to kennels and the armory, but very difficult for prisoners to get to those. If a riot breaks out and they get to the armory you’re fucked.
That’s all I remember, theres so much to know in this game its crazy.
- Comment on What programs do you wish a good FOSS alternative existed, but doesn't or most of the FOSS alternatives simply aren't good? 5 days ago:
Its sort of a thing. Pine phones use open source linux. I think the main problem is development of apps to run on a linux phone isn’t popular so its pretty bare bones as a system. Havent used one myself though.
- Comment on The Signal and the noise: Why the messaging app is great for privacy but not for war plans. 2 weeks ago:
Its not click bait, its a great layman’s terms explanation of the app and what it does. This is the kind of article I would send to my parents who are basically tech illiterate when this topic inevitably arises. It also clarifies points that were poorly reported by other outlets, which is necessary to call out, especially in our current informational climate.

- Comment on would you use downtime at a new workplace to learn? (nursing) 4 weeks ago:
Different industry for me, but we just call this professional development. As long as whatever is being read or studied can be related to improving your value to the company, performance at the job, or even learning to perform another job at the company, its not only allowed but encouraged. This of course comes with the caveat that you still need to get all your work done, which it sounds like you do. If anyone hassled me I would just say “this is part of my professional development” and that would be the end of it. I even enter this stuff in my performance reviews, and at my prior job it was expected to have something (and they would budget for me to take a training or class, typically of my choosing).

The number of times I’ve been directed to a useless discord chat while looking for help on a topic is infuriating. Can’t wait for this shit to stop.

Dammit but I thought I was as young as I feel!
Wait… That’s still old. Shit.
- Comment on New Google ad tracking policy a ‘Pandora’s box’ for privacy, experts warn 1 month ago:
So I feel like it should be possible for a popular browser like firefox to obfuscate these finger printing results by reporting and requesting standard readouts. For example, requesting layouts for all common phone resolutions, then filtering on the user end and giving the user their actual layout. If every instance of firefox gave the same bogus info it would camouflage a large number of users. I’m sure this would use a little more pricessing power and data, but would probably be worth having a privacy toggle for.
- Comment on Apple is once again advertising on X after more than a year 2 months ago:
You are right, I had it a little backward. The e foundation makes /e/OS, and they sell a murena fairphone 5 with the OS preinstalled. So you can get a fairphone thay way, or just install it yourself.
- Comment on Apple is once again advertising on X after more than a year 2 months ago:
Fairphone uses their own custom OS to degoogle things and help ensure privacy. I dont think its perfect but its about as good as it gets. Otherwise you can buy a google phone and degoogle it with Graphene

- Comment on HDMI 2.2 will require new “Ultra96” cables, whenever we have 8K TVs and content 3 months ago:
Thank you, I did find myself thinking theres a reason why I have the DP cables for my PC monitors which don’t seem to have an issue running high resolutions… But then I’m not running 8k on anything so I wasn’t really sure about that

There is no locking yourself out of anything in this game. Everything is a very intentional design. Look closer, try everything.
- Comment on is feeling disrespected reason good enough to change jobs? 3 months ago:
Absolutely. Always be open to changing jobs if you need to, and always keep that option as a back up plan even if things are going well. Know that if you find a new job it may fix some things while introducing new problems, there is always some risk to doing so. If you aren’t in a rush to get out try to line something up that makes the change worthwhile - get a promotion out of it, or at least some pay raise or other benefit. Often times annual raises suck enough that many people need to get a new job to find a decent pay bump anyway, so it’s good to be looking for that. If you haven’t interviewed in awhile line a few up as practice too, so when you find something you’re more serious about it will go smoothly.
- Comment on Anon questions our energy sector 5 months ago:
Three Mile Island and Chernobyl really did change things. Prior to those incidents there were plans to build over 50 more nuclear plants in place which got canceled as a result. Currently oil and gas industries will do all they can to keep nuclear from making a come back, but for a long time they didn’t have to do shit thanks to those catastrophes.
- Comment on People born after 2000 have never seen the cosmic microwave background on their TV set. 5 months ago:
I bought a plasma in 2009 that would show static if I turned it to cable channels without cable plugged in. Plasmas were susceptible to burn in and since I would game a lot I could see health bars etc start to burn in after a while. Whenever that would happen I would turn it to the static screen - making each pixel flip from one end of the spectrum to the other rapidly like that would actually help remove the burn in.
- Comment on After six years of hardware ray tracing, the best examples of it are modified old games, like Quake and Minecraft. 5 months ago:
Control also did a fantastic job. At some point the reflections on the glass are almost too good. There is a puzzle where you need to look through some windows to solve it and I couldn’t see what the hell was going on because of it and had to turn RTX off. It was otherwise great and I think the difference is dramatic.
