Honestly, I’m kind of impressed it’s able to analyze seemingly random phrases like that. It means its thinking and not just regurgitating facts. Because someday, such a phrase could exist in the future and AI wouldn’t need to wait for it to become mainstream.

Do your roommates not use it?

Is there even a point in asking? Obviously no one likes it.

From the Depths — it’s mind-meltingly complex, graphics are mid, and takes a few liberties with physics, but it lets you build your own warships Minecraft-style, including custom cannons, missiles, and air defense.

This smug attitude is why vegans get a bad rap. Sure eating vegan helps, but you don’t have to go all the way. For instance, eating chicken instead of beef or reducing the amount of meat you eat. Imagine if the same thing was applies to transportation: it’s a lot easier to convince people to make your next car electric than to have no car at all (assuming America where commutes are long and public transit ranges from mediocre to nonexistent).

Unrelated but is your username based on the O gauge model train manufacturer?

To be fair, California is kind of dysfunctional and constantly trips over its own regulations when trying to get anything built. For instance, needing excessive environmental impact review for things like trains that will obviously help the environment, or limiting ferry boats crossing the bay to protect the environment even though it likely results in more people driving instead.

What’s so bad about Amazon? It’s nice to have 2 day shipping and not have to go out of your way to get somewhere.

Yeah, unless you emulate it of course. It’s not a direct sequal, but it’s heavily inspired by A Link to the Past

Workers and Resources: Soviet Republic. It’s one of the most complex city builders made, and while the interface isn’t great and there are lots of obscure, weird, and downright unintuitive mechanics, it’s so rewarding to play because you can actually construct your infrastructure with materials and time, and so unlike Cities: Skylines or Transport Fever, the game doesn’t become trivially easy when you get a late game map. Those games you can eventually afford massive bridges and tunnels, but that’s not the case in Workers and Resources, because no matter how much money you have, bridges take time to build, and you’ll have to reroute traffic during construction, so you’ll only use them when you really need them.

Also I love the scaling, things like gas stations only require a single truck very occasionally, shall industries require a few trucks, and only the big industries like steel require trains (and only a reasonable amount too). As opposed to Cities: Skylines or Transport Fever where every industry ends up with a massive number or trucks or a silly number of trains.

Have you tried A Link Between Worlds yet?

Yeah I admit I kind of prefer the Gimp site. Are you saying Lemmy isn’t an accurate random sample of normal people in reality?

So far the news and downloads pages still haven’t been updated

If I can’t download it, and the site says the latest version is 2.10.38, is it really released?

It makes me think of the original release of the iPhone app store.

And my crack

But it is a classic

What does curl even do? Unstraighten? Seems like any other command I’d blindly paste from an internet thread into a terminal window to try to get something on Linux to work.

Yes, obviously I prefer to keep my secure credentials private to avoid having my bank account compromised.

I’m pretty sure any popular modern browser can be trusted not to leak that data, even Google Chrome. If anything I trust Chrome more because Google has an incentive to not obliterate trust in their security.

Now browsing history for advertisers is a different story - that is something I explicitly don’t care about. And that’s what I was obviously referring to in my first comment.

Yes, when it comes to sharing sensitive information publicly, I do care about privacy. Especially bank information - a regular bank statement could probably be exploited for identity theft - but it’s also nice to keep at least a little plausible deniability about who I am IRL (for employers and such).

When it comes to websites and browsers aggregating browsing history to use for advertising - which is what I was referring to in my original comment - no I don’t care.
