I loved it, and don't take this as a dig because tons of games had this problem. It was one of the first games in played where environments were fully destructible. Trees? Nah. Trees are invulnerable to everything, including literal bunker buster bombs.

I think I need a band aid.

You want me to throw my shoe?

Jak and Daxter as well as Ratchet and Clank are both fun series. Jak was always weird in emulators for me, but maybe it works now.

I think people get too defensive about security by obscurity not being security. It's still better for things to be obscure, it's just not sufficient. A hidden lock to open a door is marginally better than a lock on the door. A hidden button to open a door isn't secure though, of course.

But at the same time, I fully understand why it's stressed so much. People tend to make analogies in their mind to the physical world. The digital world is so different though. An example I use often is you can't jiggle every doorknob in the world to see if it's unlocked, but it's (relatively) easy to check every IPv4 address for an open port to some database with default credentials.

Okay but about the fiber shit, they covered 99.7% of my city and didn't cover my street and I'm within walking distance of city hall. I really wish there was a way I could compel them to give me fiber. One of the few things I dislike about my location.

SDF.org has dial-up. And a Lemmy instance. I think it's lemmy.sdf.org

If there's any hostility it was initiated by yourself my friend.

Bullshit.

Come on now think for a second here.

I feel like there's some hostility or defensiveness and we keep talking past each other when trying to resolve it, so I'm going to drop the topic because I don't think there are actually any disagreements between us.

Nothing I was said was about "independent studies" versus "studies". I get your point, I'm just saying that wasn't part of what I found odd. I only used the phrase independent studies instead of studies because you did.

I don't really care if people use it, it's more that it feels like a quarter of our architect meeting presentations are about something AI related. It's just exhausting.

The image being so small makes it funnier.

Leveraged buyouts are so stupid to me. "Hi, I'd like to buy this company, but since it will be my company, the company needs to have the debt, not me. So if it goes wrong, well, that's the company's fault, not mine." Should be illegal.
