“But the Nazi fliers were not satisfied with their work. In a few minutes they came back and swooped down to within two hundred feet of the ground, this time raking the field with machine-gun fire. Two of the seven women were killed. The other five escaped somehow.”
Completely senseless, and indefensible.
I agre. It maks no sense.
That wouldn’t be an issue if you’d fulfilled your duty as a parent and educated her on the classics.
You have a point, actually.
As someone else said, Pixel for Pixel analysis is probably too much compute time for them to bother. But they can do a quick checksum on the file, and they probably do.
Whether the image seriously affects your online fingerprint is mostly about whether a lot of users or only a few users use that exact profile picture.
If they few users have that exact profile picture, then it’s likely that they have a behavior tracking data set assigned to it, in case it’s valuable later.
It’s not that someone is sitting in a room correlating and judging your choice of picture. It’s just that every aspect of your web browsing that can be cheaply tracked and correlated is tracked and correlated.
An image that too many people use is likely also correlated, but won’t be heavily weighted in deciding that traffic is yours, because the error rate is too high.
That’s why I always set my profile image to “Mickey Mouse” while I listen to music by The Beatles. It makes me invisible. Also I just really like Mickey Mouse.
Just because it might be NSFW in your work environment/region, does not mean it is everywhere.
Yeah. It’s not a question of right or wrong, it’s a question of whether a moderator (or community) is willing to put into the extra effort to allow folks in sensitive reading environments (or sensitive readers, I suppose) to participate.
I am constantly, personally, under the impression that there are no Anime communities on Lemmy, even though I frequently read “new/all”.
I genuinely think there aren’t very many. That’s true right? I haven’t blocked like 700 of them already? I don’t give much thought to blocking an unmoderated community, so it could be.
(Sarcasm) Which is tragic for those communities, because my Anime hot takes are on fleek.(/sarcasm)
As a huge Anime fan, with some catching up to do, I’ve blocked every anime adjacent community, because NSFW filtering isn’t applied as strictly as I would prefer, on the Anime communities here.
I enjoy a good sexually charged image as much as the next person, perhaps more.
But I scroll Lemmy in front of my impressionable daughter sometimes.
I would like to catch up on Anime recommendations, here.
But, to me, it’s just not worth the risk of suddenly needing to explain to my daughter why Faye Valentine’s parents didn’t love her enough to buy her full sets of clothing.
I can hear the worried concern in that DM “…no…?”
“Enthusiasts will be able to request extra credits.”
Well that’s a relief. For a minute there, I was worried.
Not long at all.
Luckily I already wear t-shirts that advertise the weird kinks that I’m into. Otherwise this would make me really uncomfortable.
I appreciate your perfectly cromulent use of the word “embiggens”, here.
No, it’s not the “best kind of correct”, it’s being an asshole.
That’s the joke, though.
The character being quoted, from Futurama, is usually insufferable and often miserable.
Edit: Interestingly, the character is also relatively well liked and generally appreciated by the rest of the Planet Express crew. It’s a pretty nuanced quote, in context. It kind of says “You’re not wrong, and your correction is arguably unnecessary and objectively objectionable, but we love you, anyway.”
From what I hear from players of the game, there’s no actual gameplay advantages locked behind a paywall, only cosmetic items.
Pretty much. There’s lots of content that can be reached much more quickly by paying, but I’ve never felt any drawback taking the long way around. It’s great fun without paying a cent.
It’s a very good game that makes me feel good the entire time while playing it the long slow way. When I’ve occasionally tossed the developers some money as appreciation, my purchase generally results in some random later mechanic getting introduced into my game sooner. It’s amusing, but not particularly noticable, since everyone in my friend group has generally just unlocked something interesting, at any given moment, without paying.
Warframe’s free play feels so generous, in stark contrast to World of Warcraft where paid play felt stingy.
And other people buying their way to the end doesn’t affect my experience at all. They just look cool in the lobby.
I don’t have that much time to spend grinding!
I expected grind, considering it’s free and very well made. But I don’t find Warframe grind-y at all.
I do about 20% backtracking, due to playing asynchronously with a few friends, and doubling back to get them quest objectives.
Other than that, I can’t think of a time I’ve repeated a level for any reason but failing the mission or just wanting to play it again.
The grind-y aspect is there, and stuff you can purchase is there, but it all feels like “New Game Plus” mechanics.
I’ve unlocked several additional mechanics and Warframe across my play without paying for them. They’re amusing but the base game is so good I wasn’t feeling anxious for them to unlock.
I eventually bought a character pack to support the developers, and sure enough, it played just like a “New Game Plus” variant. When I did that, I finally did revisit a bunch of old levels, to try out the new game mechanics in familiar contexts.
As a Codium user trying to choose more open tools, I really appreciate your write up, here.
Thank you.
I’ll check it out.
It’s also just me, lol.
Heh. That reminds me of the feeling when I carefully place a LIMIT 100 and get 0 results…
I’m not sure it’s a “calculated insult” but it did read a but oddly (I assumed initially that it was referring to someone else).
Yeah. My choice of words was a bit unnecessarily inflammatory. I struggled to find the words for how weird a choice of introduction it is, but don’t mean to actually assign malice.
I don’t really think the article author meant anything by it necessarily.
Your point about the context of the cat relationships makes sense. Probably why they went for it.
I find this outcome delightful for all the compliance mandated organizations that are leaching with no intention to contribute back.
It could be really helpful for developers at pure leech organizations to make a case for being ready to contribute in an agile manner.
Now they’re all stuck waiting on either a good Samaritan, or their lawyers to get out of the way of progress.
I have little doubt that the fix has been committed to private forks dozens of times already, of course.
Synology Drive does what you want, if you bought a Synology NAS. Look for the Synology Drive or DS Drive app for each of your operating systems.
Whatever you’re using, I find it helpful so to setup Samba shares, since most operating systems can talk to it.
Some command line utilities that you may wish to schedule, if not using a sync app:
I’ve heard great things about KDE Connect, which supports a bunch of platforms.
On Windows: robocopy.exe
On Linux: rsync
On Mac: rsync
On Android: I don’t have a non-Synology favorite, right now. KDE Connect looks promising.
On iPhone: I’ve heard of these “eyes” phones. People seem to like them…
Edit: I see you have Syncthing. Disregard the above.
For NAS to NAS backups, I do prefer RSync.
Neat!
Though, I’ve found a lot of folks from a lot of parts of this map would just tell me they’re “from the Midwest”.
