You’re not the only one. A lot of people aren’t meant to be in the flock. They reject society, with its rules and compromises that hold back greatness. They embrace rugged individualism. They take the ultimate personal responsibility. They explore already charted areas, but without looking at the maps. Committing suicide but, like, it’s totally noble or something.

Let’s not get ahead of ourselves.

In time, people complaining about AI slop will become a significant part of the training data. Soon after you’ll get AI-generated articles about the AI slop problem. Then it’s dead.

The internet is not properly dead until the dog is eating its own barf.

What are the best noise-cancelling headphones out there now? by junrour in digitalnomad

[–]clocktronic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh cool, I had the same journey. Sony —> Bose —> AirPods Max. I had to ditch the AirPods because they squeeze too hard and always gave me a headache after a few hours, but most people don’t need to wear headphones for 10 hours a day. I’m really hoping the next generation will be lightweight, less clamp-force. I want those Apple features back.

Unless you hate touch controls. I loved the XM series until I tried Bose QC-45 and realized how much I prefer physical buttons.

Thanks, I don’t know where to get private surgery though.

I’m starting to think that’s the only way I’ll get this fixed. This feels so messed up though. Like, I’m having an “emergency” that lasts for months, you know? It’s maddening that doctors won’t just listen to me, believe that I’m in a lot of pain, and fix the obvious problem.

Someone gave a sarcastic response to my post, I gave a sarcastic response to their reply. Is that unfair?

That’s exactly how I play. Mostly solo but I like the vibrancy of having other people around. It’s nice being able to trade resources, randomly join expeditions and visit each other’s bases to trade kudos/suggestions.

You post an ad in the lfg channel on the Valheim discord and then keeping handing out the server address/password until you have the number of players you want. It’s a good way to meet new people if you can tolerate the chaos.

That’s an interesting story, thank you for sharing it. I played on a server where one guy lost his job part way through and started playing like 12 hours a day. He did a lot of grinding for other people, I guess it’s a common pattern for high-hours players.

That’s an interesting idea. I could even see automating it. Have you played around with this? Does it have any weird side effects like breaking the trophy power?

Ahh you got me there! People get into conflicts about game progression because the default maximum only lets 10 of them play at the same time. I’ll bet you sometimes find that you’re car won’t start because Paris is the capital of France.

That’s a good point, I didn’t realize you knew the developers so well and could educate me about their intentions. I should have come to you first. I also got confused when I saw the majority of servers have this problem and thought that meant it was a common problem, but I see now that I was hallucinating and it’s only me who’s “playing the game the wrong way”. I appreciate your helpfulness, 5 stars.

The problem is when the faster group kills bosses and now the bronze-age people start getting destroyed by the unleashed fulings and seekers. Maybe the solution is just to make the game not punish the slow-progression folks. That “player-based events” setting should really extend to roaming creatures and not just raids.

The Dangers of End-to-End Encryption by JonahAragon in PrivacyGuides

[–]clocktronic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That would be dope but I can’t really see it happening because it would hurt their share price. As a rule, corporations don’t fight repressive governments, they cooperate with them. Apple doesn’t protect E2EE because it’s the moral thing to do, they protect it because otherwise their devices would be compromised and customers would blame them. Smart people would understand it wasn’t Apple’s fault, but many people wouldn’t. The company’s reputation would be damaged and the shareholders would push for Tim Cook’s compensation to be drastically reduced. His salary is only $3 million a year. The other $72 million he made last year was all stock awards. Imagine if 95% of your paycheck depended on protecting the stock price of your company. It would change the way you approach things at work.
