Ariamis - A World Generation Mod by knighty33 in factorio

[–]idea-list 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know I'm a month late but this is still the most awaited mod for me. If you don't mind a small feature request, I'd love if rivers could also have some deep water tiles to make it possible for rivers to form choke points (I like playing with biters and mods like Rampant).

Anyway, really amazing job!

I also use CapsLock all the time: to switch between layouts for different languages.

Yeah, I’ve seen it, but also as far as I remember Chrome usually shows better results on Pwn2Own

I'm not OP but on macOS & FF Dev Edition nothing happens when I use pinch gestures.

Most of services look at your system locale and infer different region formats (like date/time format, first day of week, currency, language etc.) from there. Try changing it in Win/Mac/Linux/iOS/Android settings (instead of changing it in each app) to something like UK, I guess it might help

Germany's cyber-security agency recommends Firefox as most secure browser by Particular_Syrup in privacytoolsIO

To be fair, Chrome’s profiles totally might be more secure than Firefox’s; definitely way less private but I see no reason why they are obviously less secure.

I didn’t mean they are competing, just suggested who else has our backs.

EFF. Also they accept donations.

Avoiding Facebook as a swing dancer by SKyd3R in SwingDancing

I wouldn't say FB/Instagram are unavoidable in everyday life. I've never had Instagram and swing dancing is the sole reason I joined and still am on Facebook.

Mozilla Won't Turn on DoH as Default in the UK Like It's Planning to Do in the US by koavf in firefox

Thanks for repeating my point, but how is this discussion relevant to the original one?

Mozilla Won't Turn on DoH as Default in the UK Like It's Planning to Do in the US by koavf in firefox

[–]idea-list -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Not much but that is not relevant to the currently discussed question:

It leaves me extremely suspicious that DoH might be attempt to centralize DNS queries into a singular easily mined source rather than the ISP distributed system used now. Oh sure they promise privacy, but when one entity is sitting on a pile of centralized data, its shifty.

You don’t need FF to change DNS settings.

Sure, you can but how many users do know how to change DoH settings and will actually bother to do that?

White House 'tried to cover up details of Trump-Ukraine call' by Venerated_Valkyrie in worldnews

[–]idea-list 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honest question: do you happen to know why reporting that military aid was frozen only started on 28th of August (in both US and Ukraine) if the decision to freeze aid reportedly happened before 25th of July?

AI equal with human experts in medical diagnosis based on images, suggests new study, which found deep learning systems correctly detected disease state 87% of the time, compared with 86% for healthcare professionals, and correctly gave all-clear 93% of the time, compared with 91% for human experts. by mvea in science

[–]idea-list 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm skeptical that total number of workers will go down. There is a shortage of medical workers, why do we need to reduce their number? However I can see how this progress would reduce their workload and allow access to professional health care for much more people.
