The countries with the most Fediverse servers are rich and former/current colonial powers. One of the best true barometers of the success of the Fediverse is how quickly we can turn that on its head.

    • Idle Windows XP and 2000 machines get infected with viruses within minutes of being exposed online — legacy OSes compromised by just connecting to the Internet

  • The takeaway I think they were trying to give was that the same experiments done on a more modern OS does not have these same "instant" infections (they reference having windows 7 under the same conditions without any issue)

  • In my opinion, open world doesn't mean being able to complete any objective in an arbitrary order.

    Progressive growth is one of the most rewarding things in an RPG for me. That means that I have to rethink my path forward until I gain the strength to overcome an obstacle. And that also means that some of my once difficult foes can be a showcase for my experience.

    Areas aren't blocked, they're turned into goals for me to overcome. Yes, I should have a choice in how I explore the world, but having limits gives you something to break through.

  • This is my running complaint with most Bethesda RPGs. Just about everything scales by player level, which can put you in situations where enemies are downright impossible to kill if you're too spec'd into non-combats.

    • I'm so annoyed that they're calling the new hobbit game 'A The Lord of the Rings Game'

    Jump

  • So I missed it the first time. But the title is "A The Lord of the Rings Game". Assumedly to maintain copyright, they did not drop the "The" from "The Lord of the Rings" even though they started with "A"

    • Two newborn twins need a one-dose treatment that would save their lives: Zolgensma, a $2.1M drug. Insurance (also the mother's employer) cut coverage of the drug the day after they were born.

    Jump

  • Interesting how insurance companies demand restrictions to "special enrollment" periods or specified times to begin coverage. It's a tactic to prevent people from beginning coverage before taking on significant healthcare costs and then cancelling after their treatment is finished.

    But yet, an insurance company is able to change coverage without following similar practices? Is just about as close to a bait and switch as you can get.

  • I think we're going to need a bit of an explanation here

  • What's amusing to me is that they referred to the job interviewer having similar reliability, but didn't say whether it was good or not. Purely let the bias of the article imply that they were highly reliable.
