Of course I can call them stupid, since they without any information whatsoever as to the communication settings my kids have (none allowed) called my parenting into question.

It really doesn’t get more stupid than that even.

I started making my own games on an Atari ST at 12 years of age. Never considered the fun I had to be “exploited labor” when I let someone else play them.

I don’t care about what other parents do, I know what we do. The kids can chat as much as they want with their friends - outside of Roblox.

Correct. It’s much easier to just set the chat controls to “no one”.

I will fight tooth and nail for your right to freely show your stupidity online.

Sober is single-handedly responsible for me being able to use Linux for my youngest kid’s computer too. Absolutely awesome.

Not enough uptake to become viable I assume. I put $5 into my account monthly but couldn’t spend it anywhere really.

No. Creators getting paid “magically” through ad revenue where any other form of payment system has higher friction is the pattern that needs to get defeated. Flattr was well on their way to a model that could’ve worked, but it still needs the consumers to take an extra step to “fund” what then gets distributed.

Those who produce videos with an idea of making money off views will never be able to move away from Youtube until such a system gets invented.

Context: Centerpartiet (“The Centre party”) has been rather uniquely targeted by the troll factories (russian / right-wing) here in Sweden since they’re the only non-left party in our parliament saying NO to cooperating/ruling together with our fascist party (“Sverigedemokraterna”). They’re the good economic-right without the authoritarianism and white power stuff.

And yes, it seems the level of hatred was a lot higher for the last woman party leader (Lööf) and now Hatt. In between them there was a male for a while who was mostly anonymous.

wtf is this Russian psyops doing here

Huh, I’ve been playing that since release on my Bazzite Steam box and haven’t noticed any issues.

Agree, this is exactly what I went with recently in the same situation.

should be outside playing

That’s the “They’re growing up in a different world to what you did” I mentioned

Enjoy your future relationship with your kids when they realize they’re less prepared for the world than their peers.

Why become a parent if you don’t care about your children’s well-being? They’re growing up in a different world to what you did and you cannot apply “We didn’t have social media”-thinking on them.

Teach them about the evil algorithms and let them learn from experience.

The local council said they could not remove the eyes without damaging the artwork

Ok, but why is their incompetence an argumen?

She appeared to have fallen from a cliff or slope

This sounds a bit weird but I hope she died from the fall rather than from having been left there …

All services are dockerized, updated nightly.

Server OS runs a kernel-patch service for real time exploit patching.

All other updates as soon as they appear.

Yeah, sometimes I’ll need to go in a repair - but that’s way better than having to clean up after having been exploited due to not keeping up on security patches.

I use NanoKVM and I’m quite happy with that. Also connected to the internal header so it can power on/off and edit BIOS.

As for security, I don’t allow its IP to open up any outgoing connections.

The technical terms are actually how all patents are written, so nothing special there. I don’t approve of things like this being patentable at all, but I actually expect this to be novel the way it’s written.

However, no one needs to infringe upon it - it’s trivial to change something ever so slightly so as to not do exactly what’s described here.

Thanks. For everyone not used to reading patents - only the claims are relevant. To infringe, someone else needs to do exactly the same as they describe.

Claim 1:

What is claimed is:

1. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored therein a game program, the game program causing a processor of an information processing apparatus to execute: performing control of moving a player character on a field in a virtual space, based on a movement operation input; performing control of causing a sub character to appear on the field, based on a first operation input, and when an enemy character is placed at a location where the sub character is caused to appear, controlling a battle between the sub character and the enemy character by a first mode in which the battle proceeds based on an operation input, and when the enemy character is not placed at the location where the sub character is caused to appear, starting automatic control of automatically moving the sub character that has appeared; and performing control of moving the sub character in a predetermined direction on the field, based on a second operation input, and, when the enemy character is placed at a location of a designation, controlling a battle between the sub character and the enemy character by a second mode in which the battle automatically proceeds.
