TiVo was an early digital video recorder that dominated the market for a while. Broadcasters brought lawsuits against the company saying the recording of videos was violating copyright laws, and advertisers hated it because you could skip commercials. TiVo argued in court that they weren’t pirating, but just time shifting the content. Similar arguments were used for people who ripped rented dvds and so on.

It is absolutely infuriating when you see this and put it next to cases filed against people like Trump and Gaetz.
You’re not evil. Your brain is miswired - broken, if you will. It’s not Hannibal Lecter style broken at this point, but that little surge of pleasure you get from inflicting pain means that your amygdala is feeding your reward system with the same pleasurable frisson most mentally normal people would get from giving a hungry person a sandwich. I’m not saying you necessarily need to consider medication or treatment, but it is characteristic of a disordered personality and very possibly reflective of a self-loathing that arises from you yourself having been abused. Abuse causes underdevelopment of the prefrontal cortex and overdevelopment of the amygdala such that the former can no longer efficiently govern the latter. This is fortunately treatable both medically and psychotherapeuticly.
I am selecting the files I wish to transfer and the ones I do not. It is my bandwidth. I also use reader mode as an accessibility feature.
The oldest crpg I ever played was called advent, because the Vax computers could only use 6 characters for file names and so the people who ported it couldn’t use the actual name “adventure.” It was basically the same as the game infocom shipped as Zork.
Apparently the original implementation was on the PDP-10 in 1976. There might have been a couple other games that predated it by a year or two, but adventure was the big one in my opinion because it led (eventually) to the creation of the infocom text based game engine and a whole line of games ranging from hitchhiker’s guide to the galaxy to leather goddesses of Phobos.
It’s been way too long since I played D1 to give specific advice, but as a general rule you absolutely cannot spec as a generalist, especially in older games. Instead (and forgive me if I get any of these details wrong, it’s the general idea that I’m going for) you want to go pretty much all in on a strategy like Whirlwind with both talents and gear.
Also just to mention - you can pick up a franchise like Diablo pretty much anywhere. I loved D1 when it came out, and the same with D2, but anything I still get out of them is nostalgia. I enjoy D3 and haven’t yet picked up D4, but I will once the game starts to settle down on the steam deck or switch. In any case, although there’s sort of a plot line that ties them all together, it’s not like reading Return o the King without having read Fellowship. Like Elder Scrolls, they’re stand alone games where you get some lore tie-in but it’s not necessary for enjoyment at all.
I’m pointing that out because class/spec balance issues have been mostly sorted out by now. You can dial in the level of twitch-click challenge based on game settings, but my jam has always been exploration and discovery rather than figuring out the exact sequence of key taps to kill a boss.
It has been absolutely forever since I played D1, but I seem to remember devs saying that it can be completed by any class.
I don’t remember if there’s a respec option built into the game or available as a cheat, but how you spec really changes your capabilities in dealing with swarms or single bosses. I want to say I finished D1 woth most if not all the classes, but 1 and 2 are now fused in my mind so I really couldn’t say what a game breaking build or strategy is. I do know that if you do a bad build, it can catch up with you but it can be towards the endgame when you finally notice it.
Morrowind was like that too.
I can totally recall a story that explored this idea already.
The Ars Technica write up pretty much demolishes the device in both form and function.
I believe the article makes the position of the conservative government quite clear.
Carbon capture isn’t a real thing. It’s a unicorn technology that is used, over and over, to justify the continued development of fossil fuel resources. It’s a “don’t worry, we will figure out a solution before it’s a real problem.” It’s literally the same argument we hear from the CEOs of Exxon and BP. So how are we going about that? Are we strongly capping production until the tech is validated and ready to be deployed at scale? Are we taxing fossil fuel companies at 100% of profits to accelerate development of the technologies?
This is just a step above Trump announcing that his clean coal initiative would allow the US to keep up coal production as long as it gets washed first.
Whoever sets out to answer that question will have their Jobs cut out for them.
Honestly, it’s even stupider than that. Everyone who works for me or that o work with is a professional making 6 figures, ranging into the mid-six range. They’re great at their jobs, and prior to Covid we had all kinds of flexibility for who worked where. Now it’s a one size fits all, and I’d honestly be shocked if the company wasn’t losing more money in policing and attrition than it was gaining in some hypothetical bonus of being in the office.
Yeah, my client crashed when I was trying to edit it. Thanks for the reminder!
There should be a full write up from a lawyer - or, better yet, an organization like the EFF. Because lemmy.world is such a prominent instance, it would probably garner some attention if the people who run it were to approach them.
People would still have to decide what their own risk tolerances are. Some might think that even if safe harbor applies, getting swatted or doxxed just isn’t worth the risk.
Others might look at it, weigh their rights under the current laws, and decide it’s important to be part of the project. A solid communication on the specific application of S230 to a host of a federated service would go a long way.
I worked as a sys admin for a while in college in the mid-90s, and it was a time when ISPs were trying to get considered common carriers. Common carrier covers phone companies from liability if people use their service to commit crimes. The key provision of common carrier status was that the company exercised no control whatsoever over what went across their wires.
In order to make the same argument, the systems I helped manage had a policy of no policing. You could remove a newsgroup from usenet, but you couldn’t any other kind of content oriented filtering. The argument went that as soon as you start moderating, you’re now responsible for moderating it all. True or not, that’s the argument made and policy adopted on multiple university networks and private ISPs. And to be clear, we’re not talking about a company like facebook or reddit which have full control over their content. We’re talking things like the web in general, such as it was, and usenet.
Usenet is probably the best example, and I knew some BBS operators who hosted usenet content. The only BBS owners that got arrested (as far as I know) were arrested for being the primary host of illegal material.
S230 or otherwise, someone should try to get a pro bono from a lawyer (or lawyers) who know the subject.
Edit: Looks like EFF already did a write up. With the amount of concerned people posting on this optic, this link should be in every official reply and as a post in the topic.
When I’d set systems up, creating a password for the automatically created root account was one of the first steps in the process after setting up the basics. You could then set other accounts to have root privileges, or set up sudo to allow your personal account access via sudo, but even sudo acts as UID 0. If your setup didn’t do that, or if you set your account name up as UID 0, then you can always boot off of another source and mount the internal hd, right?
It’s been a little while but he probably didn’t finish setting up sudo so there’s no sudo users file of approved users.
I would just try su.
