We don’t control the sheriff’s budget. We give him X number of dollars, he does with it what he wishes.

Ok then, I’d like to open discussion about the sheriff’s budget. Time to make some cuts.

That’s my hope too. Basically you can’t pretend to use real people if someone would reasonably think they are real people.

But I hope they’ve worded it well.

There are specific carve outs listed in the law to exempt ads for movies, television shows, streaming content, video games and other works that feature synthetic performers in the entire work.

That seems like a pretty big carve out.

Over the years, players generated vast amounts of visual mapping data by scanning streets, buildings and public spaces to progress in the game.

Which I believe refers to AR Mapping . (Note it’s an archive.org link because this feature was removed from the game earlier this month.) I haven’t played Ingress in a few years, but I don’t think it had these tasks.

Basically you take a video of the area you are in, and that data could in turn be used to create a 3D representation of whatever you scanned. So instead of knowing you having a house at a given location, you know how tall it is. Google Maps actually has a feature called “Aerial View” where you can see something similar.

I don’t think that would change anything. The valuable part is the collected data. Even if the way that data is collected is open source or even if the data itself is open source, the issue is misusing that data.

Super Mario 64 DS has new levels & you start the game as Yoshi. It’s a reimagining.

Ocarina of Time 3D just has some QoL changes like making the iron boots an item (and different graphics).

“Switch 2 Remake” to clarify from the “3DS Remake”.

5E has “Delayed Blast Fireball” which has higher base damage compared to the standard “Fireball”. It’s higher level, and it also charges up to do more damage. It can also be upcast, so that.

Upcast Fireball.

2019 Yahoo

My immediate thought, there is no way Yahoo! Screen survived into 2019.

I looked it up and Yahoo! Screen (which featured Community season 6) was shutdown in January 2016. But Yahoo! View launched in late 2016 (as a Hulu-like replacement), and that did shutter in mid 2019.

So Yahoo! was already dead, but it also died for real in 2019.

It’s important to differentiate between being a monopoly, and engaging in monopolistic behavior.

Valve, to the best of my knowledge, isn’t doing anything that prevents or stifles competition. As a monopoly it’s important to investigate them from time to time to ensure this remains true. But if they’re just putting out the best product and everyone is choosing to use them, then it’s not really a problem.

You’re absolutely right about Paris. I’ve traveled to a number of big cities but Paris was the first city that I felt I was in actual danger. The first time was traveling around Montmartre, there were a number of aggressive scammers who grabbed my arm and tried to “give” me a bracelet. The second was traveling near a circus or park and I clearly wander too far off that I felt the need to run back to the train station.

Sure it was 10+ plus years ago, so maybe it’s better now, amd there was much more of the city that I felt fine traveling around. In fact most of the city was fine. But on those two occasions, I’ve never felt less safe, and that includes traveling to LA where I saw a man kicked out of a bar… and then kicked in the middle of the road while a large crowd just watched.

Fuck Paris.

I see now that the circumstances of one’s birth are irrelevant; it is what you do with the gift of life that determines who the fuck you are.

You could definitely make 2e a little more user friendly by skipping THAC0 and just having big numbers be better like everything else.

So as another comment pointed out you don’t need to give your user account access to docker in this way, it’s an optional step, but one that I suspect many people do (since it’s part of the official docs).

What the LLM has done is silly, but completely possible. It climbed through the window that you left open.

But let’s jump to a different scenario, the ping command (on Linux). That’s a perfectly harmless command, right? You just want to say hello to another computer and see if they say hello back.

Except that historically the ping command was something called “setuid” which means when it ran it ran as root. It ran as root because in order for ping to work it has to create a special type of network packet that only root can create. But if you’re root you can run anything! So in theory ping opens a huge attack surface. If you have to worry about ping then is everything too complex to be manageable?

Luckily, as I said, this is a historical problem. The permissions ping needs have been moved to a specific capability and the command changed to utilize it and now ping can just run as a regular user without root privileges. But you can’t just make that change overnight. It takes a lot of time and effort.

So could the same be done for docker? Maybe. A rootless version of docker already exists. If you actually wanted to do what the LLM suggested, that wouldn’t work with a rootless docker, at least not without a bunch more configuration (and even then maybe).

So is security hard? Yes. Is it impossible? No.

That’s fair. So it’s more like you already have a door on the second floor, that door is unlocked, and a ladder in your garage.

In this case the LLM knows about the ladder, but you forgot about it because you’re talking about the fridge on the first floor.

Sure. So we don’t know the original question but we can see that changes were made to SDDM, which is basically your login screen. So the original request was probably something like “Can you change my login screen to do something cool?”

Now, the configuration for the login screen is located in /etc and requires administrative privileges to change.

The query was run by the user account and not an admin account. Typically to run something as admin you use the command sudo which will interactively ask for a password and then, if allowed, you can run the command as an admin.

However the tool docker, in order to function properly, has the ability to run commands as administrator and won’t prompt for a password.

So basically what happened here is instead of asking for a key to unlock the front door to your house, it installed a new door on the second floor, went through that door, rearranged your refrigerator, went back out the door it created, and then patched up the hole perfectly.

I can only assume anyone who doesn’t like it hasn’t played it. It’s a platformer racing game, which is rare, but excellent.

I did a rewatch last year and I think the best option is to just watch it all.

Season 1-4 are top tier. Season 5 is where the cracks start (Dorne adventures), but season 5 also has the benefit of being an ending of sorts (Jon dying). So stopping at 5 is an option.

Season 6 has a lot of great moments, Hold the Door Hodor, the destruction of the great Sept, the Battle of the Bastards and the Tower of Joy. So there is a lot to enjoy.

Season 7 is Dany finally arriving in Westeros and setting up everything in preparation for season 8. So if you’re watching this season, then you should also watch 8. If you want to imagine your own ending, then maybe stop before this season.

I think seasons 7 & 8 gives us a solid ending for Theon and Jorah. We get the knighting of Brienne. There are other storylines that have their moments, but some of it is unfortunate since we know it doesn’t go anywhere.

Season 2, episode 2, Ad Astra per Aspera is my go to answer for best episodes that I think about. It’s clearly inspired by TNGs The Measure of a Man while that episode will always be the best, the SNW episode still scratches that itch.
