“But the Nazi fliers were not satisfied with their work. In a few minutes they came back and swooped down to within two hundred feet of the ground, this time raking the field with machine-gun fire. Two of the seven women were killed. The other five escaped somehow.”
Completely senseless, and indefensible.
As someone else said, Pixel for Pixel analysis is probably too much compute time for them to bother. But they can do a quick checksum on the file, and they probably do.
Whether the image seriously affects your online fingerprint is mostly about whether a lot of users or only a few users use that exact profile picture.
If they few users have that exact profile picture, then it’s likely that they have a behavior tracking data set assigned to it, in case it’s valuable later.
It’s not that someone is sitting in a room correlating and judging your choice of picture. It’s just that every aspect of your web browsing that can be cheaply tracked and correlated is tracked and correlated.
An image that too many people use is likely also correlated, but won’t be heavily weighted in deciding that traffic is yours, because the error rate is too high.
That’s why I always set my profile image to “Mickey Mouse” while I listen to music by The Beatles. It makes me invisible. Also I just really like Mickey Mouse.
I can hear the worried concern in that DM “…no…?”
“Enthusiasts will be able to request extra credits.”
Well that’s a relief. For a minute there, I was worried.
Not long at all.
Luckily I already wear t-shirts that advertise the weird kinks that I’m into. Otherwise this would make me really uncomfortable.
Have a look at RobotFramework with the Selenium library. Anything you can manage manually, you can automate repetitively with Robot.
Also, have a look at the F12 Network tab, in case the real images are stored in a predictably named manner.
No, it’s not the “best kind of correct”, it’s being an asshole.
That’s the joke, though.
The character being quoted, from Futurama, is usually insufferable and often miserable.
Edit: Interestingly, the character is also relatively well liked and generally appreciated by the rest of the Planet Express crew. It’s a pretty nuanced quote, in context. It kind of says “You’re not wrong, and your correction is arguably unnecessary and objectively objectionable, but we love you, anyway.”
Rekt is a stunt game in the spirit of Tony Hawks Pro Skater.
The controls are fantastic. The levels are interesting. Various unlockable cars are fun. The gameplay loop is satisfying.
It was a fair deal back when it was $15.00. At $1.50 it’s an absolute steal.
Overcooked 2 has one of those perfect gaming moments: the balloon crashes into a another restaurant, and instead of a cutscene, we just start getting orders off a different menu. It really sets the tone for the game.
Fury Unleashed is charming as hell, but it’s the buttery smooth controls that make it so replayable.
As an old-school platform and bullet hell player, I don’t play many modern platform or bullet hell games, because I’ve been spoiled by tight controls from the 8-bit era, and so many modern games don’t match the responsiveness.
But I found Fury Unleashed incredibly accessible, mostly because the controls are so responsive.
As a Codium user trying to choose more open tools, I really appreciate your write up, here.
Thank you.
I’ll check it out.
I find this outcome delightful for all the compliance mandated organizations that are leaching with no intention to contribute back.
It could be really helpful for developers at pure leech organizations to make a case for being ready to contribute in an agile manner.
Now they’re all stuck waiting on either a good Samaritan, or their lawyers to get out of the way of progress.
I have little doubt that the fix has been committed to private forks dozens of times already, of course.
Mini Motor Racing might be a good match. It has some DLC available (additional cars), but none of it is necessary to enjoy the game.
The approach I’ve seen most is using semantic versioning for releases, and having a continuously upward counting (not bothering to reset) build number for everything in between.
Sweet. Welcome to the cult of Debian.
We (Debian users and contributors) are inevitable. Our quiet satisfied computing cannot be stopped, only delayed.
We should consider getting some fancy robes and a few club houses, though. The only thing that can make Debian better is cookies and tea.
The Halo Anniversary collection shines on SteamDeck. It was my first purchase after getting mine, I think.
There is no legitimate reason for this to exist.
Normally I would agree but this turned out to be the only way to protect the T800 model from the rigors of traveling via time sphere.
I’ve not worked with a marketing team where that would work, but maybe it will for some.
I’ve never been anywhere that I thought it would work, but it ultimately did, almost everywhere.
I’ve found it takes a few iterations, but the marketing folks in on it love being the ones who actually can reliably deliver on their promises.
It doesn’t work for the marketers that promise whatever they please without talking to dev, but I don’t find them to be worthwhile professional allies, so I don’t sweat it.
It doesn’t change the “massive customer will only renew if” scenario, though.
Very true. It doesn’t help with that case, and that one does happen. I’ve had the best luck saying “we don’t do that, but we’re scrambling to add it” in that situation.
The stupidly easy solution is to just give them stuff that has already been successfully delivered to production to market, 9 months from now. There’s invariably a huge backlog of years worth of successes that marketing wasn’t even aware of.
It’s common courtesy do this anyway…
