I like the idea of the local feed, especially for smaller, less generalized instances, but the default should definitely be federated and the wording could also be changed if only because the word "federated" would probably be confusing to non-technical people. Replacing it with something like "All" might be a better idea

Piggybacking off this comment because I completely agree with it.

Did we not learn anything from CrowdStrike? If a comparatively simple fix was able to wipe out half the world, how would something that requires an active choice (where to get certs from) not completely cripple all of our infrastructure?

It's not even that though. The developers could have been amazing for all we know but great devs doesn't help a paid game in a genre that already has too many games in it, most of which are free. This is especially so when the publisher does absolutely zero advertising for it past the initial announcement trailer.

The problem is that it won't stop people from using Google. Most people probably wouldn't even notice aside from having to spend more time searching for local things, which incidentally will give Google more ad money.

The average person probably doesn't know that search engines other than Google or Bing (or maybe Yahoo if they're old enough) even exist. As much as it worries me that most of Firefox's revenue comes from having Google as the default search engine, regulating that practice might actually give other search engines a chance to be seen.

Hey did you know that any JSON file is also a valid YAML file? I bet you'll love YAML a lot more now that you have this information

I haven't checked back on it since I stopped using reddit (and I no longer use a surface pro) but there was a pretty active surface Linux community there as well with some good resources. For a lot of models you'll need a USB keyboard/mouse to actually install the distro but once you can load the custom surface linux kernel things worked pretty well for me.

The point of the game is to shoot people with actual guns until you're the only person (or team) left. Is the word "kill" really where ESRB draws the line?? (not that I think fortnite should be rated R)

There are actually relatively easy (easy compared to building a nuclear reactor) ways to deal with the waste that involve mixing it with concrete and glass so it can be safely stored in a way that won't impact the surrounding environment. Kyle Hill has a great video about this on YouTube: https://youtu.be/4aUODXeAM-k

It is quite literally a foreign concept to anyone who only speaks English. That's how foreign languages work.

How is the word pronounced though?

Even if they were rate limiting they're still just using the bot to train an AI. If it's from a company there's a 99% chance the bot is bad. I'm leaving 1% for whatever the Internet Archive (are they even a company tho?) is doing.

I was trying to look more into game dev crunch at Nintendo and the most recent articles I could find were about Mario 64, Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask (all for the Nintendo 64) and Metroid Prime (for the GameCube). From what I can tell all of their recent games have been delayed instead of forcing crunch.

That being said the difference in work culture means they probably still have longer hours but they aren't giving their developers actual PTSD like EA and Activision. It is really sad that the bar for AAA game devs is not having devs hospitalized from overworking. Hopefully more game dev and software dev companies can meaningfully unionize to combat that.

Given that it was running until 2019 when it closed because it wasn't profitable enough, I think it's probably fine
