It was a me problem. I had been logged out and not noticed. I am so sorry.

@emperor@feddit.uk - is this a me problem or a feddit.uk problem?

Oh no way - awesome and thank you.

Edit: still won’t work for me. Are we sure it’s not a user error on my end or is this really the right way to fetch a remote instance?

I hate how awkward it always seems to be trying to fetch a remote community.

What am I doing wrong?

please correct me if I’m wrong

Okay :)

Perhaps I should have said ‘categorically’ instead of ‘definitively’, but they are synonyms so…

IIRC, the only definitive way to ID mushrooms is by making a spore print - and even then you need to know what you’re doing.

Just doesn’t seem worth the risk to me.

? shitpost ?

Yes.

Preach.

Fair.

Sometimes my sprouts and cabbage will taste hot/peppery/horseradish-y.

Rich people are truly fucking insane.

Sorry, you’re quite right - I misread it to begin with.

This paper suggests you’re spot on that they’re not as profitable as other large companies, but they’re still making an awful lot of money on top of the necessary costs.

Great explanation (including the pre-edit bit ha) - thank you!

When you say the cypher puzzle wouldn’t be much fun - why not? Surely you could have a set of puzzles through the game that each yield a keyword (seemingly plot relevant, but still pretty random when combined with the others) and the player has to combine all of them via clues in game in the correct order to yield the correct key. That doesn’t sound unfun on the surface?

I apologise as I know next to nothing about how this all works - so ELI5 please:

Based on what you explained here, could the game designed in theory put those 256 bits of key into 256 puzzles - with several hundred more puzzle pieces being red herrings?

But were you making the point the data miner could just then target the thing that accepts those puzzle pieces and reads the key from them?

Except as highlighted, if the drug didn’t make a return on investment it wouldn’t be made. That can be true for government funded research, it’s not necessary to have a profit margin on top.

I work in healthcare. Doesn’t surprise me in the slightest.

Streisand effect in action. I am never going to buy anything Nintendo, because they’re a dog-shit company. I hadn’t realised a Switch emulator existed. Andddd… My wife would really like to play Pikmin 4.
