If you enjoy the old school vibe, City of Heroes has been revived through a community effort, and is free with all of the original content plus some new stuff. This has been given official blessing so it’s not going to disappear suddenly.
Also some absolutely great dialog / voice acting.
“You are WOEFULLY deficient in the ways of etiquette, BUT… you have a point.”
This reads like he still, even after everything, doesn’t understand how tariffs work.
There’s already services like Box.com that offer similar functionality for files.
As a suggestion, having an option to have the string deleted after it’s been accessed once would be nice as an extra layer of protection.
Given it’s targeting businesses violating a city ordinance that’s in place to reduce pollution, I don’t see an issue with it. If it was people snitching on other citizens for minor violations or something, I’d be against it.
I guess the qualifier for me is, is the law something that’s in place for public good? If so, it should be enforced.
Jokes aside, this is a pretty rad program.
Under the Citizens Air Complaint Program, they can record idling trucks or buses, report them and keep 25% of any fines, which typically range from $350 to $600.
Even if you aren’t doing it 6-9 hours a day like this guy is, getting a cool $75-$150 for making a report while out of the house anyway doesn’t sound bad at all.
Not that I’d use this service for it, but I’ve had use cases for this sort of thing. It’s not so much about plausible deniability as OP wants to sell it as, but more about security. You send the locked link (or a PW protected file or whatever) via, say, email, and the password through a text message. Then, in order for the data to be stolen, the attacker would need access to both of those, rather than only one. It’s niche, but I’ve needed to do it for my job before, so I can at least see the point.
Makes privacy-focused service
Disallows access through VPNs
Mate…
No love for them from me, either, but trying to be objective, this honestly doesn’t look any worse than an inexperienced human driver. Not that I’d choose to use it given alternatives, but having been riding with a teenaged student driver recently, this looks like about that same level of stressful.
In short, vibe coding kick-started an era in which humans could make computers do new things, rather than the stuff they’d been hard-wired to do at the factory or through installed “software” (another word for “apps”).
Yeah, it sure is a good thing we have AI. Now real people can make computers do the things they want! It’s a novel idea that previously was just unthinkable.
User 1: “I’m having an issue with a service, has anyone else experienced this?”
User 2: “I do not use that service.” <-- This contributes nothing to the discussion, and makes User 2 sound like a prick. Don’t be like User 2.
Simply adding one word would have made the title much less misleading.
‘JD Vance gets briefly suspended from bluesky ‘just 12 minutes after first post’’
As it stands, it strongly implies that his first post caused him to get suspended, and that he’s still suspended now. I’m not even sure why this is considered newsworthy. Why did someone even bother writing this article? Answer is, I’d wager, because the headline makes it sound sensational when it’s in fact not, and it drives clicks.
You don’t think that the omission of the very relevant followup fact from the title is misleading, perhaps intentionally so, to someone only glancing at headlines?
Imagine if the police were looking for your neighbor, mistook your house for theirs, arrested you thinking you were them, then minutes later released you when they realized their error. Would an article titled ‘TachyonTele arrested in own home’ be a fair summary of those events?
Looking at this list of 3rd party games, I wonder if the reason for this is that most of these games have been available on other platforms already for quite some time. If you were interested in e.g. Hades 2, unless you just didn’t have a PC available, you probably weren’t waiting for an at-the-time unannounced Switch 2 to play it on. Heck, Cyberpunk is 5 years old at this point. Street Fighter 6 is 2 years old and was on a lot of other platforms.
I expect we might see different results when we see more 3rd party games getting simultaneous launch on Switch 2 and other platforms.
Nice of him to give them the heads up, so they can all go find new jobs now. Sure would be poetic if they all just moved elsewhere and left Amazon understaffed.
That one really baffles me. Prey 2017 would have been right up my alley, but I completely ignored it because I didn’t like Prey 2006. By the time I discovered that it was a game I’d have been interested in, I picked it up on sale for $10 or so. I wonder how many other people had similar experiences.
I love the callout that the story was delivered via text logs, as if voice acting was typically present in anything except FMV-based games in that time period. “Bog standard FPS” is a really funky term for an era when there were only really a few well-known FPS games out there at all.
You’ve got to remember that Marathon 1 was released in 1994, the same year Doom II was released. What else was there at that point? You really had Doom, Marathon, Pathways Into Darkness (also a Bungie title and only sort of an FPS at all), Wolfenstein 3D, System Shock, Hexen / Heretic, and some really niche ones that most people had never even heard of at the time, never mind now.
Could it be that people just don’t want yet another fairly generic live service PvP extraction shooter? No, can’t be.
Man, I’d forgotten how utterly baller that theme is.
The US has the Fair Access to Banking Act trying to do similar things, but it’s been stagnant for 2 years.
