I think I just figured it out, hang on with me.

It’d be the tech literate person in the family. The nephew that’s working as a programmer or something like that. Now, if that nephew has some interest in stealing their uncles money, they now have access to their bank account through a freely rooted phone.

This gives them a lot of options, which I don’t have to explain.

Given that a lot of scams actually happen between presumed family and friends…

Yeah I kinda get why banks are doing this

Killing Void Creatures by invoking the power of thunderstorms.

Thinking about it, probably either an illegal rave party or an illegal epilepsy test

(storm totem shaman in Last Epoch)

us trans people try to do that, but we’re constantly being told not to

Hell yeah!! I’ve been playing the old version quite a lot and had hell of a blast with it! I’m looking so forward to this (even though I’ll definitely wait a week for reviews before jumping in blindly)

little late but I kinda feel like responding:

The beds are outside in the countryside, usually on fields that are owned by the farmers who offer the “rooms”, so they’re a bit secluded.

You’re brought there by said farmer, he shows you around a bit, shows the fridge, etc. Then he leaves again.

If you need any room service, you just call up the farmer and he comes back to bring it.

No idea about toilets, but I think you’d also have to walk back to the farm. Same if it rains. Pretty much all of those openair hotels are ran by those kinds of farmers anyway, who were used to hotel guests as they’ve been offering “sleeping in the hey” kinda things since years, so for them, it’s pretty much the same, except being a little (sometimes a lot) further away and being logistically a bit more challenging.

The person who noticed that the Proud Boys were coming to town and rallied people to a counter-protest? Definitely a leader

Nahh you got that wrong. What usually happens is that a lot of people who are into politics (which left-extreme people often are) hear about this at the same time (through some press release, some proud boys twitter account who’s rallyin their followers, etc.).

From that point the information spreads over friendsgroups, small discords, tweets, whatsapps, in person, slowly but steadily.

Any left-extreme person who hears this immediately thinks “I’m mad, I wanna show those guys that they’re not welcome”. Granted, some of us think about much more extreme things, but back to the point. The first reaction from that thought is often “is there a counter protest?”. People are then doing the same thing but the other way around, as now everyone is trying to find some tweet, event, whatsapp message screenshot, whatever, of someone saying where the meeting point for an event would be. If none are found, someones gonna create something, which is usuqlly someone who’s got a lot of connections with other left-extremists. Often there’s multiple people creating the same counterprotest, which gets super messy at times, but somehow everyone manages to meet up in some general spot.

Worst case you just have a bunch of friends groups going to the meeting spot of wherever the initial event is happening.

That’s “the antifa”. A massive network of friends and friends of friends of friends who are all pretty aligned in their political views (which is “fuck Nazis”) but who often don’t know more then 5 other antifacists.

Swiss here, no it isn’t. Here’s a (german) overview of a few “openair hotels”: https://www.stilpalast.ch/travel/specials/schlafen-unter-freiem-himmel-7144

Hah, I can still reply from Sync

Definitely interesting to keep an eye out for, given that once AI tech has advanced far enough, we’ll likely see some impressive RPGs (or even MMOs) encorporating such tech.

Let’s move on…

Why

Or hope that GoG finally created their Linux client, although it has only be requested by a quiet minority of literally every single suggestion on their community wishlist.

For the love of the gods CDPR, please, finally realize that Linux users are you main customer base.

I just don’t care about any of that at all. I have around 100TB of seeding accumulated over the years, no VPN, zero security measures, nothing ever happened at all.

Given that it’s Hetzner, there’s not much you can do besides telling them “oops sorry didn’t know this was illegal” and proceed using a VPN on your seedbox, go private tracker or just use a different hoster. Hetzner isn’t a big fan of torrenting since they have the (german) feds in their neck.

no way, that’s a massive oof o.O

haven’t worked with AP yet, but as a webdev I’m certain it’s original server only. Syncing upvotes between nodes would be an insane datavolume and one hell to properly keep in sync to begin with.

“it’ll probably work out”

If you’re a power user, I’d actually recommend installing Arch Linux. It will take a while, and definitely much longer then just pressing “install” on a fancy UI, but the advantages it brings are priceless.

Generally, you’ll have to build the OS yourself, but you get a manual doing most of the job if you simply follow it, kinda like Lego. Given that you ultimately build it all yourself, you know how things work if anything might break. You also know how to adjust things if you wish to change something. And for everything you want to do, there’s an up-to-date manual in the arch wiki.

On top of that, the distro is running the newest software, which means that almost everything is compatible and runs in the best possible way. It will be tested 2-3 weeks in advance in order to ensure it won’t break your system immediately. But even if it does, guess what, there’s a manual on how to fix your system.

In case you’re overwhelmed at any point, there’s a great community. Not sure if they managed to move to lemmy, but they’re definitely over on reddit.

Good luck :)

This guy is creating amazing short videos where he’s debunking UFO sightings with a huge amount of science and simple graphical tools.

Meaning that this is on purpose? If so, who would profit from this? (besides the incompetent CEO themselves)
