yeah I mostly commented that because the fact that the game itself is so much smaller than the audio is impressive and funny at the same time

650MB CD media. The game itself was 40-50MB and the rest 500-600MB was the audio in wav (CD player compatible) type

I don’t think we should underestimate the savvy programmers out there

you can’t imagine how many programmers out there are living their life without adblocks. Even before this last month’s shitshow

Look at suicide rates of veterans

I bet this is referring to the US veterans as I doubt there are other countries with such statistic and I wanted to say that IDGAFF. They chose to go fight in the other side of earth thinking they are doing good. Going back and realizing how wrong they were and that in fact they were killing people inside their homes and who never were an actual threat. The reason of the suicides is this tragic realization.

We don’t need to personally see that stuff

I find it difficult to understand that something should be banned because some people “don’t need” to see it. Then don’t look at it? And I’m talking specifically for war reporting now. I’m not talking for generic gore. It is war reporting. It is something that happens. By hiding it it only helps to enlarge our safe bubble and live in it. Sorry, this is not the world. If you want to live in your safe bubble it is up to you, but making it sound like the “correct way to handle reality” is wrong imo

exactly. It is crazy that people still think that if you don’t pay spotify it is the artists that loose money. Most of the subscription value goes to spotify and record labels themselves

it gets more interesting if you calculate how much of the percentage of a user’s subscription goes to spotify, how much goes to labels and how much ends up in the artists themselves.

technically you’re correct, but this depends on the country and/or plan. For example family plan in europe is increased by 3 EUR

you mean something like this https://newsroom.spotify.com/2023-07-24/adjusting-our-spotify-premium-prices/ ?

tbf this is promising, but I’m afraid so many companies will just ignore it until they may have a case.

by this logic, every use is a legitimate use. I mean how long is the “as you watch my site”? If you come back tomorrow and I want you to have a continuity in your experience, then I want to store your IP for more than what somebody else defines as “now”. Then what about a week later and then what about a month later?

how would you use diff? Diff compared to what?

yes I wouldn’t expect something to automatically do it for me. I know that I have to do a lot manual inspection. I was mostly curious if there is any way to help this process, for example a tool that it can easily group same/similar entries, and allows me to easily remove them. Instead of what I’m doing now that I have to manually notice that something is repetitive. Then I have to open in vim and write a regex that removes this, but also be careful that it doesn’t remove anything else. Then rinse and repeat.

But I get that most probably I have to do it manually.

You can always collect a log file yourself that you deem be normal, and you can write some processing code to automatically remove lines that both have in common.

about this, I’m afraid it is even more difficult to be honest. Apart from I’m not sure where to find such log, as you already said, each device has fairly unique logs. I doubt I will manage to do anything valuable in any reasonable time frame.

Thanks for the suggestions though!
