Shops in Sweden very often state that they don’t accept cash - and it’s perfectly legal for them to make that choice.

We have cash?

Haven’t used it for years.

Troll comment.

You do that - you die.

Please show me that guideline, anywhere.

Modafinil and Dexamphetamine sure - but have you tried Methylphenidate then?

(Parent with ADHD kids here)

While Modafinil has support in the literature I don’t think it’s prescribed officially for ADHD, and due to the different way they work the top choice for ADHD is usually Methylphenidate rather than Amphetamine.

Whatever works for you is the best for you though, I was just a bit surprised :)

IOCX has a noticeable increase in new user signups since a day or two back.

That sounds problematic. Where do they detail this?

Wikipedia:

Google Safe Browsing “conducts client-side checks. If a website looks suspicious, it sends a subset of likely phishing and social engineering terms found on the page to Google to obtain additional information available from Google’s servers on whether the website should be considered malicious”.

But why are random people visiting your instance?

If you were just selfhosting services for you and your family, would really browsers be flagging your site?

There will be no Librewolf without Firefox though.

It’s on my new VW ID.7 in Europe at least. Drove during dark for the first time a few weeks ago and it was pretty amazing seeing the matrix headlights “sculpt” the light around other cars.

Distracting in the beginning, but you get used to it.

All of the statements in the claim need to be fulfilled - so while that if looks correct it’s only a very small part of the actions described. Example:

in association with selecting, based on a selection operation,[…], wherein the boarding object is selected among a plurality of types of objects that the player character owns;

IANAL - but I’ve worked for Big Company and have gone through the patent process a few times. A patent isn’t what’s written in the supporting text and abstract. It’s only the exact thing written out in the claims.

First claim from the patent the abstract is from:

1. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored therein a game program causing a computer of an information processing apparatus to provide execution comprising:

   controlling a player character in a virtual space based on a first operation input;

   in association with selecting, based on a selection operation, a boarding object that the player character can board and providing a boarding instruction, causing the player character to board the boarding object and bringing the player character into a state where the player character can move, wherein the boarding object is selected among a plurality of types of objects that the player character owns;

   in association with providing a second operation input when the player character is in the air, causing the player character to board an air boarding object and bringing the player character into a state where the player character can move in the air; and

   while the player character is aboard the air boarding object, moving the player character, aboard the air boarding object, in the air based on a third operation input.

Exactly everything described above must be done in that exact same way for there to be an infringement.

Watching from Europe I didn’t believe there were any politicians like Walz in the US …

Love it. While not all titles get replaced (crowd sourced) just the fact that the thumbnails get normalized is enough for it to be worth it.

This is the way to do it.

all of these features are on-demand

none of the things you don’t [need] (such as user data harvesting, ads & tracking).

Choice of leading LLM models from all the leading providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Mistral, …)

All threads are private by default, retained only as long as you want and subscriber data is not used for training models

Yeah I think you got the numbers crossed there :D

I think a lot of people start up a server because at the time it fits with what they want to do. Once you realize this is not a job (correct description) you wanted to take on it becomes much harder to motivate it.

As soon as you run a server for others outside of the immediate friends/family circle it can be really difficult to deal with the expectations of uptime and service. Also, some don’t want to ask for help but also take on all the moderation themselves too.

@seb@ioc.exchange publishes the costs for ioc.exchange:

Servers are hosted at Linode and hosting costs are around $300/month. Media files are hosted in AWS S3 and the costs are around $50/month. So in total our running costs are about $350/month.

Unfortunately the donations still don’t cover it.

This is your regular reminder that our hosting costs are roughly $350 per month. In the last 30 days you all have contributed $216. Thank you very much for everyone who has contributed - You are awesome!

Agree. I’m an absolutely awesome software dev myself - and I know C by heart (being my favorite language after assembler). However, with age comes humility and the ability to recognize that I will write buggy code every now and then.

Better the language saves me when I can’t, in security critical situations.
