TOTK has more creative combat, such as my kid fusing a bomb barrel to a shield, which blows up enemies when they attack. Other than that, the combat feels very similar to BOTW, and there's new enemy types (and I think more variety?).

It's certainly gimmicky, and I think the puzzles are easier, though neither has particularly great puzzles. I personally think TOTK is the better sandbox game, while BOTW is a little better Zelda game, but they're both kinda crappy Zelda games IMO.

I don't think that's true. Their techs may claim that, but you van buy compatible modems online and find a helpful phone support person to get the details you need. Read up a bit on it first because they're not going to walk you through it.

I have successfully avoided cable up to this point, but I did use my own modem back when I used DSL. It wasn't advertised anywhere, but I just took the details from their modem and called support for the last bit I needed and used my own. It worked well, and I had my router be separate so I was able to just toss the modem when I got better service.

I can make the case that trump voters doxxed every single muslim in the US of A by saying he’d ban them

That's not doxxing though. Doxxing means deanonymizing an individual by publicly revealing personally identifiable information about them. Saying, "you should hate this group because X, Y, and Z" isn't doxxing unless you also provide PII about the individuals in that group, it's "just" hate speech.

But I don’t think anyone should feel this way, its all driven by politics.

Agreed. Hating someone because of group affiliation is always bad, whether that's a racial or political group.

Do you really want to live in a society where it's acceptable to hate someone based purely on who they voted for? I sure don't. I've met good and bad people across the political spectrum, so judging people based on party affiliation is a terrible way to go about things.

I'm absolutely on board with protesting Trump and his policies, I'm not on board with jumping on people because they voted for the guy.

I'm not OP and am a dev, but also prefer flat files. Here's my reasoning:

• versioning - I use snapshots in my filesystem (BTRFS), which is more than enough, and have a git hosting solution for things I care about more
• sync is plenty fast on OCIS and Samba, it's just kinda slow on Nextcloud; I'm sure Seafile is better, but it's not something I do frequently anyway, especially since backups from devices is automatic and uses a different, fast system
• incremental - not my use case, most of my files either never change (movies) or are small (text flees)

My main concerns with Seafile specifically are:

• developed by a Chinese company and doesn't seem particularly open to contributions
• mostly written in C, so there's a good chance of security vulnerabilities
• documentation about the disk format isn't very open, so third party tools don't really exist
• main target is larger orgs, so I'm unlikely to get very good support

With flat files, I can easily switch to a different service if my needs change.

Here's what I've used and can recommend:

• samba - just a network share
• Nextcloud - full featured cloud suite (calendar, contacts, etc)
• owncloud infinite scale (OCIS) or the Euro fork Open Cloud - the POSIX driver has a flat file structure and still supports users and shared data; OCIS is designed for larger installations, but running on a smaller, single instance totally works too

Since you rejected NextCloud, check out the other two. I'm switching from NextCloud to OCIS right now, and I may end up using OpenCloud if development looks stable.

Yeah, that's a lot of ice.

How is OP "trying to hide" anything? Saying we shouldn't aggregate and publish PII about the parents of a terrorist who have sought legal protection from that person isn't "trying to hide" anything, it's pleading for others to prevent harassment. There's zero evidence that the parents have anything to do with this and some evidence of the opposite, yet the OP is trying to create a link because they share political opinions with the current administration.

I get it, I strongly dislike Trump and have since I saw him in the primaries back in the 2010s, and I would like nothing more than for every bad thing to be legitimately caused by him and his ideas. But that's not the case, and that doesn't mean every crazy person with a gun was somehow corrupted by parents who likely voted for Trump.

It's much more likely that the parents did their best to teach the kid respect for first responders (conservatives tend to have a hard-on for police and firefighters), guns, etc, and the kid stumbled onto a manipulative online community at just the wrong time in his life (say, a messy divorce) and that corrupted him. Or maybe it's a classic case of schizophrenia. Idk, but I'm pretty sure his parents' political beliefs are unrelated. This could've happened to a family with progressive views who also happen to like guns, I knew plenty of those growing up.

Yup, I'm pretty sure you can't put a physical object into a video game.

It is, but I still think it's plausible given the tech at the time. But yeah, definitely suspicious, I'd like more details/confirmation.

Congrats!

Exactly. And Venus is occasionally visible during the day, so that lends some credence to the story.

Maybe. But Venus is occasionally visible in the daytime, so it's plausible if that happened to be the case.

Not in my area (Utah), we don't know anything about this "humidity" thing you speak of. Even our snow is dry.

I don't understand this, if I didn't have to work for >100 days, I'd have a blast! Our summer break starts a bit earlier than most places (end of May) and school starts a bit earlier than many places (middle of August), and we have already visited the pool multiple times, visited family across the country, done some hikes, and done some bike rides. The rest of the summer is busy as well, with visiting the other side of the family next month, celebrating Independence Day (I'm in the US), and doing some camping trips.

If you can't fill 3-ish months of free time, that's on you. I, for one, am going to make sure I and my kids enjoy it.

Hey, we have four:

• winter - random snow storms
• spring - mixed snow and 100F weather
• summer - 100F all summer long
• fall - crazy wind storms, w/ occasional snow storms

They're all more extreme versions of what we had in 2005.

Also, I live in the north, so my options are:

• winter - frigid weather where the roads are an ice rink
• spring - fluctuates between cold (random snow storm) and hot, like a woman going through menopause (i.e. one day nearly 100F, the next day there's snow)
• summer - pretty consistently hot
• fall - random storms, school starting (I have kids), and an intro to the aforementioned ice-rink

So yeah, summer is pretty decent, given the other options.

Cool, I looked into it and yeah, it seems like Beidou is incredibly similar to GPS, so it really shouldn't matter. GPS seems to be a little more accurate for the average person, but otherwise they're largely the same.

I assume you're talking about Kauffman, who is the founder of LBRY, but that relationship ended when LBRY lost a lawsuit and Odysee was acquired. It is decentralized, using arweave for video hosting and a blockchain for video metadata.

The main issue w/ Odysee is its near complete lack of moderation, which allows extremists, conspiracy theorists, and other undesirables to earn money. This is because Odysee gives creators the power to moderate their channels, unlike YouTube where most of that is reserved for the platform itself. Odysee is about as free-speech as you get, and that unfortunately allows less desirable content.

My understanding is that Odysee is essentially what you get if you have P2P (not federated) PeerTube w/ a profit motive.

Is it? I haven't looked too much into it, I just assumed a newer system would have tracking built-in.

So now I'm even more confused about why Iran would care which system it uses, if both truly are passive.
