for me, Horizon Zero Dawn was the real "wow, open-world storytelling can be that good and not classic Bethesda nonsense" moment

Oh that's just 80-90kg? Just like me (unless I'm closer to 100 haha I haven't measured in ages). Whaaaaat, that's totally fine. I mean it can feel awkward sometimes, it's neither girltwink nor giant queen xD but still it's fine. Stand up straight with your shoulders back, wearing a skirt that flares out a bit, and enjoy life :)

Oral (swallowing) bad, the good way to take estradiol pills is sublingual/buccal. Absorbed in the mouth, very little gets to the liver.

Keeping out a vendor-specific one in favor of a vendor-agnostic one seems actually positive to me. That vendor-specific "superiority" must be fought.

All around good vibes… hearing musical performances in the subway and even on buses sometimes, buying a kilo of artisanal ice cream at night just across the street from home, taking a rental bike instead of a bus to exercise a bit when it's not 36 degrees out, taking a friend out to a concert and screaming until we lose our voices, getting recognized every time by the fruit vendor in the corner store, going to events at the local hackerspace… there's a lot :3

My next web stack: chota.css, verga.js, poronga.html & pija.php :D

I loved True Colors as well.

Note that you pretty much can't store them with Google or Apple; smartphone biometric sensors operate the on-device HSM, not something remote.

On a more serious note: huh, the number of people who changed their document is like, only 17 times as large as our biggest Discord..

So many things already mentioned, I guess the most original thing I can say would be Nushell :)

Gleam also maybe?

Never "got" battle royale. Except. EXCEEPT. CS:GO dangerzone and (lmao) the BR mode of Fallout 76. Those are fun. Apex did not feel anywhere near as fun as those.

Oh, um, yes. I've had probably the most extreme version of that experience :D

I knew I wasn't exactly cis when I was 14 or so (really don't remember the exact moment lmao). I finally picked a name… soon after turning 26 (!) just before starting to be transfem IRL.

It does not. The fingerprint always only unlocks the device's HSM ("secure enclave" in Apple speak).

Between your devices enrolled in the ecosystem, private keys are synced securely (AFAIK, they make it so that an existing device’s HSM encrypts keys using the pubkey of the new one’s HSM); for signing up using your device on someone else's computer there's a process that combines QR codes with Bluetooth communication.

Huh. I've played around with D a few years ago.. don't exactly remember his opinions coming to light, but I can't say I'm surprised either.

What would even be the point of an official remaster when you can combine the OpenMW engine with a mod pack? And there's Skywind the great remake still in the making…

IIUC Apple syncs them using the most secure way they can, i.e. when you enroll a new device to your account the existing device, the existing device's HSM encrypts keys using the pubkey of the new one's HSM; and for recovery from being left with 0 Apple devices there might be (?) an escrow option that's optional (?)

Moved most of my stuff there a while ago, has been pretty great.

tfw you go around thinking about M I L L I M E T E R S O F B O N E and the way cis ppl "tell" is just.. hair.. that anybody can cut or grow out

There was a long long list of these somewhere…

Have to shout out https://github.com/pjasicek/OpenClaw for the best childhood era platformer :D

This was pretty blatantly stupid. What would be REALLY scary is if someone really clever and really evil were to do it, actually entering the real gray market and gaining good reputation first, then slowly introducing bad stuff into the product and quietly passing all the personal information to neonazis. >_<

The actual real product needs to be OTC!

You can actually literally watch marcan/lina/(more rarely)alyssa from asahi work on livestreams :) No, they don't actually do that kind of clean-room. There's no issue with learning about how the hardware works and directly applying that to writing drivers! Hardware and drivers aren't even comparable, they're complementary. One basically cannot infringe on the other.

Clean-room techniques come from actually cloning very similar things. Basically the original Phoenix BIOS cloning IBM. As a more recent example Wine/ReactOS.

It's not "really liberal" if you're forced to interact with psychiatrists and commissions and whatever the hell to change your documents. "At least you weren't forced to have 'The' surgery™ to change your documents" is a really, really low floor. Argentina set the standard in 2012: self ID means self ID, you just submit your request and get a new birth certificate, then submit that do refresh the ID card.

Nethack is an amazing deep system to explore and learn about.. but it's not that fun to play (at least once you've already been to the late game). It's more fun to read NetHackWiki than to actually play the game IMO. It would be a huge downgrade from DCSS, which is carefully designed to be fun.

The real core difference is that XMPP just passes messages around (and history is just bolted on as an extra thingy between you and your server), while Matrix is literally a federated database of message history.

Used to when I had the space and setup (had a Samsung Odyssey+), sadly didn't get to finish HL:Alyx.

I'm surprised that Ctrl+F "Superhot" → 0 matches, that one was amazing to complete

Look for used ThinkPads with Ryzen, I bought an L14g2 (5850U+16GB) for about 600 USD and it's just amazing value

I preordered it on Steam and played on a big PC as soon as possible, it looked incredible to me, the initial release did crash occasionally but I always found it strange how much attention that instability got compared to how Todd Howard games are just casually permitted to be comically buggy.

I couldn't really get into Witcher 3. It was more the combat than the story but the story didn't interest me much either..

Google's extension of RCS does do e2ee, which raises the question of "what happens to security when you talk to a non-Google user"..

huh, at least for wavy hair technique is like the most important thing. specifically scrunching with gel.
