  • As someone with over 200 hours in graveyard keeper, I have a tip for new players.

    Make sure you buy the blue and white stone from the innkeeper, it’s a rechargeable teleport item that allows you to instantly navigate most of the map every 30 seconds or so; the game will never tell you this, and i only bothered to get it long after it would have been of any use before I realised what it was. Hope this helps someone


  • The point is to appeal to people’s empathy.

    This ad is saying; ‘Don’t like kids getting blown up? Stop funding the company complicit in it.’

    There’s a growing trend here to do away with Americas tech in general tbh; AI is just the latest fad, so it gets a lot more attention. But people are boycotting far more than just openAI here.

    There have been similar campaigns about Musk being a nazi for example, which for obvious reasons, is frowned upon here.


  • Protecting the identity and privacy of victimised children is the default stance for journalists here in the UK. I just assumed that was true in most of the western world… Does Canada identify child victims in news articles then?

    The reason this girls been anonymised in this case is likely because she’s already been objectified, and would be subject to further trolling/ harassment from people outraged with the situations outcome and looking for a target to blame.

    Just look at what happened to Virginia Guiffre, after publicly coming forward with her allegations she was subject to consistent death threats and harassment. Sparing anyone that situation seems merciful in my eyes.








  • I installed it locally using the deb package on their GitHub. They also have apks and I believe a flatpak too (don’t quote me on that though).

    The android APK is a little funky (I kept getting the notification “you’ve been invited to a room” for every message I’d receive) so I switched back to using element x for the time being, but commet is now my go to client for my laptop, as I don’t use that machine for VC anyway.

    You’re right in the sense that none of it is hosted on app repositories though; they’ve still got some ways to go on that front.



  • Giving access when it’s not supposed too

    Not sure I’d agree with that statement. Personally I see it as the correct credentials were provided, and thus access was granted; ergo, the app performed as intended, and there is no bug.

    The error here seems to be around the lack of concern for security; nobody considered that using the same credentials for their fleet of robots could pose a threat if discovered. It’s no different to someone using the same email and password for everything, and then wondering why their facebook has been hacked after their Reddit account leaked. The problem isn’t a bug in code, it’s just poor cybersecurity hygiene; what we see here is the same just on a commercial level.


  • Someone mentioned commet as a discord like matrix client the other day. I’ve trialled it using my matrix setup, and it looks and feels very clean, I definitely prefer it to element.

    Unfortunately as the tale always goes, it’s not quite on par with element in features (it claims to have RTC support using livekit, but I couldn’t find the group call option), but it’s definitely one of the more interesting clients to come about recently. I really like the separation of spaces and personal chats, and the multiple accounts feature is useful from a sysadmin perspective.

    Once they manage voice channels with RTC, I think matrix will finally have its discord alternative that could see some adoption with everyday users.
