It's near the line, I agree, I see your point, but it's just the terminology and no gambling mechanics. You don't set the ante, you just play. They could change the name ante to level and it would be the same. It's not like you look at your stuff and decide how much you're willing to risk. (You could argue skipping blinds is this sort of risk analysis like gambling but that's hardly unique to Balatro.) There is no benefit from stopping earlier because if you lose on ante one or lose on ante seven it's the same outcome. Also, if you choose to restart one ante one or ante seven it's the same outcome. Because it's just a score keeping mechanism. Nothing more.

It's fun until you close the shop and realize what the boss is and can't reopen the shop lol.

And no, the 6.134258 shares of Apple in your 401K don't make you an owner, lol.

Thank you for saying this. It's very frustrating when people act like having retirement savings makes you like billionaires.

A Lakeland woman was charged Tuesday after police said she ended a call to an insurance company with the words, “Delay, Deny, Depose.”

They're really saying this was a threat to commit a mass shooting??

I view the focus on Lemmy's political opinions as a weakness for attracting new users.

I'm not trying to exonerate them of any blame

I'm not trying to exonerate them of any blame, I'm just saying "knowingly" implies a human looking at something and making a decision as opposed to a machine making a mistake.

So now we know that Brandshield is knowingly making false accusations that have potentially serious consequences for their victims.

They said their platform is "AI driven" which could very easily imply this was an automated process with no human making a decision. It's still bad, but a different kind of bad than "knowingly" making a decision.

Those subdomains are not managed or controlled by the registrar

I might be getting the terminology wrong, I've not had to work too closely with the specifics of subdomains in my career, lol. But you can definitely have blah.itch.io points to a different IP than itch.io and that's done through DNS. So if they suspected blah.itch.io to be a phishing site imitating Funko's site, it makes sense that they'd report it to the people controlling that.

And yeah, it looks like Itch does use sub domains for user pages instead of URL paths. https://xk.itch.io/ So if some user's page was trying to imitate Funk's site then I could see this line of thought. I'd need to see the page that was supposedly imitating and what it was imitating to really make a judgement call though.

 

Opening your router to the Internet is risky. Are there any guides for the basics to keep things secure? Things like setting up fail2ban? My concern is that I'll forget something obvious.

Edit: I haven't had much of a chance to read through everything yet, but I really appreciate all these long, detailed responses. ❤️ Thanks folks!
