When professional wrestlers want something to seem like a big deal, they use a concealed razor blade to cut their face. Just the surface, nothing deep, and then they can pop up with blood all over their face. Also we know Trump has been part of wrestling matches and staged events with professional wrestlers before. Doesn't seem like a big leap to say he knows how to get a little blood for show.

What's that thing Google is pushing, where the CAs basically push a list of all the certs they issue? Is that live? Maybe Amazon issued you a key, and then published it in a list of "domains I've issued keys for", and they're just watching that list?

Unless that's not a thing, or not a thing yet, or I'm fully misremembering...

Definitely Android apps can use WebRTC, and basically any apps that do voice or video calling very likely do.

But more importantly, they don't even need WebRTC, because they can open up any sockets and communicate anything, unlike the browser that's more limited.

Like, any app with network permissions can just call out to any server, which will then have the IP of the client. WebRTC not required.

So yeah, you need all of the networking to go through a VPN to protect against this, if it's important to you.

Would that mean we get A4 paper? I'd be okay with that...

In this case piefed and lemmy are basically compatible, so the communities can have a mix of the two. For example, the OP posted this with piefed, and you replied to it with presumably lemmy. So it may divide up developer effort a bit, but the community isn't divided.

Not to mention, given the labels on that one map, they seem to think Google satellite view is, like, a live camera feed from space or something they just overlay roads and borders and stuff onto?

And that it would mean anything at all for the map to just suddenly have a big snake in it unexpectedly...

Woah Woah Woah, I can accept a BMW 5 Series 530i, but diesel fuel? Obviously the only fuel source in Middle Earth would be gasoline, and nothing else would be tolerated. Specifically leaded gasoline, because a dwarf wouldn't accept engine knock. In this four part essay, I intend to......

I was like "haha, that's funny" and then accidentally spent like 10 minutes finding stuff because I was curious where the binoculars could be. So... thanks I guess?

That's cool man, we're not talking about you. We're talking about Open AI, who pays employees hundreds of thousands of American dollars a year.

You should be allowed to use it for free. And a donation from a company like them, could make it easier for a person like you to get an awesome cutting edge tool for free!

The difference is that a tip is "you're already getting paid to do your job, why would I pay you to do your job?". Whereas this is "you gave me this for free, so maybe if I make a bunch of money I could show appreciation for that gift" or pay-it-forward so the next guy can also get a free start, etc.

And yes I know they're are busted places on this Earth where basically servers don't already get paid to do their job and are thus reliant on tips as income, but that's a different problem...

Hey folks! Back in the PS2 days I had Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, and besides the quests and stuff I also loved just driving around and going on little road trips and stealing planes.

And then in the PS3 era I had Just Cause 2, and the voice acting was terrible, and the quests were kinda dumb, but wow was it fun to just drive around and go on little road trips and steal planes. And your dumb little hookshot was nearly immersion breaking it was so unrealistic, but instead it was a ton of fun zipping through the air from 150 paces to kick a dude off his motorbike...

Anyway, I'm wondering what people's opinions are on these kinds of games these days! I know Cyberpunk has some driving, but I don't know if people enjoy cruising in it. I really liked Breath of the Wild, which is not really the same but had some screwing around times. I know there's a GTA 5 which I never played but it's probably good, I think there's a Just Cause 3 but I haven't looked into it. Some people love Red Dead 2, which I mostly bounced off of but maybe I was wrong.

Do you folks have any favourites in this "genre"? Things I should check out? Stories of worthless hijinks? Thoughts?

 

Hello! I've just started using StreetComplete, and I want to make sure I understand the answers before I go through and make a bunch of garbage data.

In this picture, is the kerb a ramp, or flush?

The sidewalk deflects downwards, but it's not a ramp ramp like the example picture.

How about this one?

The kerb itself dips, but the sidewalk on this one looks more flat and does simply run into the road. And then it has the texture, obviously. Is this one different from the last one?

Also, just to check, I marked both of these sidewalks as "concrete". That's correct, right? I wondered about "concrete plate", because they're segmented, but the picture made concrete plate look much more substantial.

My other question was based on the "lit" tag for a bus stop. This bus stop has a street light near it, but there's no light on the bus stop itself. It sounds like that means it is lit? Would a non-lit stop just be one that is fully dark at night, then, with no kind of lighting anywhere near it at all?

This one is further from the street light, but still has line of sight. Lit?

Thanks very much for any help you have!

 

Hello folks! I have these switches in my bathroom.

The rightmost is the lights, and the middle one is the bathroom fan, and I'd like to replace that middle one with something I could load tasmota on (or some other open source firmware), without replacing the other switch, the sockets, or the faceplate.

I haven't seen any smart switches that have a form factor that would fit through this faceplate, though; they seem to mostly want to be the entire electrical box.

If it weren't for the electrical plugs I could maybe replace this with some kind of 2-gang thing, which isn't really what I want but could be fine, but as it stands I'm not sure what my options here are.

I don't need the new switch to necessarily look like the old one, I just want it to fit in the same box and use the same faceplate. Do you folks have any recommendations?
