god forbid they have expectations of “successful” instead of “most profitable game in our company’s history”. I don’t think PUBG or WoW set out to be the successes they were, it just happened, I wish companies knew that that success can’t be planned for

That’s honestly refreshing. Gaming companies think that people have to play their game constantly, and that’s such a weird take. Who watches the same movie every day without watching something else in between?

I remember halo Infinite thought they were going to be the next game to do that, like destiny. No, it’s okay to put down a game and walk away. I don’t care about how many season passes you have or other garbage to try and get me addicted. I’ll play it sometimes, other times I won’t.

Agreed, which is why I liked the princiyin the article and how he handled it

So you didn’t read the article.

I don’t think wanting kids to pay attention in school is alarmist panic, to me your comment is more inflammatory than the post. Whether they should do it for just classes or not, or if they should take a punishment first approach can be debated, but out of all media and journalism, this is not alarmist.

It’s so easy to set up, just tick a box during os install most times. Then if you do rcline just use an encrypt on top of your remote, make sure your conf is backed up, and you’re golden

Read the article, the problem is that kids don’t care and don’t listen. Teachers asking kids to take their airpods out during class, and receiving harassment back when asking. To me the kids proved they couldn’t handle it (not their fault, it’s an addiction device), but the school had to step in or it wasn’t doing its job

It makes sense, I really like what this principal did, and he was fully aware that kids were addicted and were going to go through a withdrawal period. I think the pouches are a good thing, they may have gotten addicted during covid, but now is the time to end that and make sure the next wave of kids don’t suffer the same. I really liked the results:

Gabe Silver, another eighth-grader, echoed that sentiment. When the pouches first arrived, “everyone was miserable and no one was talking to each other,” he said. Now he can hear the difference at lunch and in the hallways. It’s louder. Students are chatting more “face to face, in person,” Gabe said. “And that’s a crucial part of growing up.”

Some students hadn’t realized how much their phones diverted their focus. Nicole Gwiazdowski, 14, followed the earlier rule not to use her cellphone in class. But even in her pocket, it was still a distraction. Her phone would buzz five to 10 times a day with notifications, she said, prompting her to take it out and check it.

Everyone is paying more attention in class these days, she said. And it turns out that being separated from your phone for the day isn’t as big a deal as some students feared.

“People thought, ‘Oh my God, I’m going to miss so much,’” Nicole said. “You don’t miss anything. Nothing important is happening outside school.”

Am I the crazy one? Millennial myself. We had cell phones and got detentions for using them in class. When did that stop being a thing? Why is this a question at all??

You’re there to learn. You sneak texts between periods. If we were caught our phone was given to the principal

Tried that once. It was not a fun route to go down. If let’s encrypt ever dies it anything fine, I’ll look into it again. Until then, let’s encrypt all the way

Unfortunately all of them do, and if you don’t give it to them they won’t let you sign up

Ah now you’re getting it!

If only they had as much freedom as us, to pick from 2 options

Still a very vague response, and didn’t call out some of the more worrying things, like if it’s a free license great, but are trained items their property? Do they lay claim to anything created with it? Idk, it’ll be interesting to see how civitai responds.

I wonder if the open collective thing to create new base models worried them too

You didn’t ask, you accused them of it, and they definitely don’t deserve the accusation. If you had asked, I would have responded that actually no, they’ve done an amazing job all through EA, and should be a model for games going forward

I would definitely be interested

Uh nope. If you followed satisfactory then you’d know that’s absolutely not true. They’ve continuously added features, worked with the community, and now they’re finally publishing the finished polished product.

With all the hate companies for being in perma EA, you’d think gamers would be happy when games leave EA. Nope, apparently gamers are just mad no matter what.

I’ve never really seen why portainer is used beyond a shiny UI. Docker compose file is enough for me

This sounds like a good solution for my receiver too, I want some satellites around the house but I was wondering how I would hook it up to the main system

God forbid they use their money to just build their own green power plants. Then the shareholders might not get as much
