Outer Wilds developed by Mobius and published Annapurna.

A game you can ever truly experience once because the “unlocks” and “progression” are about what you learn and know.

Rime is hauntingly beautiful in a way that hits you as it finishes.

Outer Wilds is a masterpiece.

This here is the Volt family.

Marty volt is small and so he can jump across a small stream. Put up a small net and it’s impossible for him

Victor, though. He’s got some strong legs. He can jump the net and the stream.

In fact, he’s so strong he can jump over a small river but not if you put a small wall across the way. Then, even with a running jump, he’ll be blocked.

And finally there’s Kal, ahem, Clark Volt. He’s super strong. So strong it could be an ocean and with a little jaunt before leaping he’d jump it.

The stronger the volt, the further they can go and the bigger the obstacle you need to make it impossible for them to make it.

So high enough voltage can literally leap through air (that’s the arcing you see in power plants shorting or lightning) or even wood itself. Even rubber, with a high enough voltage, will be conductive since the sheer force of the current will find a path for the charge.

That’s also why we have lighting rods, it’s easier to redirect the current to a safe spot made to handle it than to try and make high skyscrapers out of a material that can resist the insane charges of lightning and still be strong enough and light enough to build with.

Like a retweet. People that follow you will see what you boost on their feed.

You can subscribe to magazines/communities but and follow users.

Also, upvotes (on kbin) are favorites. And any upvote/downvote will show you did it and federate to other instances. For example go to “more | activity” on your comment and select “favourites” to see what I mean

What happens to posts/comments and any media/content that is hosted on a server that just goes away (for example if I created one virtually and then deleted it or if a sdcard on a pi is corrupted)

Not to mention that we can “visualize” the segments and networks by the numbers. Makes it easier to recognize, as an analogy,

This state, that city, this road, that house.

Versus ipv6. Of course there’s so much space in v6 that it isn’t an issue except it’s such a pain to work with for people who tend to think in ipv4 octets and bit masks

They could be. Or they could be sales, or brand ad coordination, or hr, or legal handling the various issues related to products, lawsuits, regulations, actual law enforcement inquiries, etc.

Like any corporation there’s a ton of backend staff doing stuff people don’t see because it makes the parts they do see operate.

For anybody doing this seriously be careful. High salt/protein and low water sounds like a recipe for all kinds of issues.

For example extremely high water low salts can cause brain swelling and death.

The issue isn’t trust. It’s the same as anything else electronic such as having a backdoor to encryption.

Anything physical requires a certain amount of effort to break in such a way that is widespread and without making it obvious.

But purely digital/online means that any bad faith actor with enough resources (such as nation states) can scale up the means and methods to manipulate it or break it.

I’m all for electronic voting for tallying with physical paper trails that can be used to verify the integrity of the digital results.

Might want to put a disclaimer that the WiiU port doesn’t count

As an aside kudos for the accessible description of the image.

And instead of making it closed they made it available under open source licensing. With the only terms being attribution.

They’re not the bad guy here. Nor is Ernest. There’s no bad guys here just a mistake, a call to fix it, a fix and an acceptance of that fix.

Really Ernest showed the perfect example of “if you have to eat crow eat it while it’s young and tender”

Some good points but a counter point to consider.

Whether it’s a photo used without permission by a big company or people using your work without attribution there does tend to be a dismissive attitude overall (not that that is the case here)

I can see how somebody could come into this situation with that as the background and just cut right to the chase.

There wasn’t a “cease and desist” (the legal equivalent of an ahem) nor a DMCA copyright takedown (harsher but less financial damaging than a copyright suit with damages)

Their tone was scolding but it was a “hey… heads up… you gotta fix this” without resorting to any of the above.

Ernest took it with the right attitude and Emma accepted it and that’s that.

Couldn’t really ask for a better outcome and Emma has every right to come out swinging harder than she did.

I can’t speak to her experience with this but personally it is sometimes better to be firm (but fair) at the outset so people don’t ignore a softer tone requiring you to escalate it.

That’s just bad for everybody all around.
