Now… Could they pass a lie detector for “do you promise you would never pay for your mistress to fly out of state for an abortion?“
They probably will, but when the time come they'll manage to come up with the perfect excuse why their case is special and deserves an exemption.
Come on! This is 2024! At least pipe it through an LLM to get a different phrasing for each post...
This is Rust. You don't need a safe word - safe is the default. You need an unsafe word instead.
No, your statement was 100% correct. What I'm saying is that the Illuminati were the ones who changed the material tinfoil is made of in order to make it less effective.
TBH this is quite mild on the Trump scale...
What do you mean by "improving"? This alarming warning appears because Firefox requires permissions. Let us look at the permissions listed there:
- "User device access". From the docs, I'd say the browser needs it for rendering?
- "Download folder read/write access". This one is obvious - the files you download with your browser go there.
- "Can access some specific files". This one, I'll admit, is a bit cryptic - what files does it need to access? But this one is on Flatpak for making the permission so general.
App permissions should not be about "this app cannot be trusted because it asks for scary scary permissions". They should be about "take a look at the list of permissions the app requests and determine whether or not it make sense for such an app to need such permissions".
Obviously an Illuminati plot to prevent us from effectively shielding ourselves from their mind control.
Controversial opinion: attempted murder is a serious deal regardless of whether or not it's a hate crime.
Wouldn't work. The law clearly specifies the exact text, and it's in English.
Jokes like this are why people say the word "Nazi" has lost its meaning.
How is Wingdings "easily readable"?
Nearly every app should have a warning
No. If you put a warning on every app (except for the most trivial ones that don't actually do anything useful) then the warnings mean nothing. The become something more than ass-covering legal(ish) BS.
The text of the Ten Commandments ... shall be printed in a large, easily readable font.
Comic Sans it is.
Some drugs help, but only if you can get the person organizing the meeting to take them.
Encountering one of these embedded tweets in a blog post, my hand instinctively moved to click the X and close it. That took me to the website.
Could this be a clever ruse to generate more visits? Is Elon Musk actually more cunning than we give him credit?
Narrative scripting languages like Yarn Spinner or Inkle were originally meant for writing dialogue, but I think they can also be used for scripting the world progression even when no dialogue or even narration is involved.
Example for something silent that can be scripted with a narrative scripting language:
- When the player pulls a lever...
- Move the camera to show a certain gate
- Open the gate
- Move the camera to show something interesting behind the gate
- Return the camera to the player
Even though no text nor voice are involved here, I think a narrative language will still fit better than a traditional scripting language because:
- Narrative languages describe everything in steps. Scripting languages will need to work a bit harder to generate steps the actual game engine can use.
- Narrative languages have visual editor that can help showing the flow of the level as nodes.
- The interface between a narrative language and the game engine tends to be seems to tend to be higher level (and less powerful) than the one with a traditional scripting language.
On the other hand, flow control seems a bit more crude and ugly with narrative scripting languages than with traditional scripting languages. It should probably still be fine for simple things (e.g. - player activates a keyhole. Do they have the key?), but I wonder if a game can reach a point where it becomes too complex for a narrative language (I'm still talking about simple world progression, not full blown modding)
