They’re surprisingly fun and I wonder why more team deathmatch games don’t include them.

I used to play Tremulous and it was super addictive to live and die by your base elements. Gives the game a whole new dimension about strategy and teamwork.

They’re actually two different genres, team deathmatch and battle royale. This Deadlock would be the former.

Moldova has already recognized Transnistria many years ago, and most countries in the world acknowledged that.

Transnistria citizens are Moldovan citizens and Moldovan citizens benefit from fast-tracked process to get Romanian (and EU) citizenship. So about half of Moldova are already EU citizens.

Transnistria also benefits from trade agreements with EU as part of Moldova. Most of their antagonism towards EU is pure show; most of their trade is with EU.

There’s no issue de jure. Transnistria is an autonomous territory inside Moldova and EU recognized it as such.

There is the de facto issue of said territory being unruly, extremely Russian-friendly and host to actual Russian military.

That issue won’t stand for long however once the ball gets rolling. Moldova has already begun increased strategic cooperation with EU and if the referendum passes and Sandu gets a second term I expect there will be a referendum for amending the Constitution. If that passes, Moldova will be able to ask for military help outright, which will clean up Russian presence in Transnistria in short order.

Historically speaking I remind you that most prospective EU members have worked towards NATO membership and usually achieved it even before joining EU.

It’s not gonna burst, at least not the way I think you mean. Expectations will eventually come down to earth but everybody will still keep scraping human-produced content and train LLMs on it and generate stuff with it. That genie is out of the bottle and it’s here to stay.

Sooo… they’re still gonna do it. But it’s ok because they promise to keep it separated from other stuff. 🙂

That might take a while.

I think their main goal is to reduce their platform support rather than diversify it. Using a single desktop app that’s basically webmail inside a wrapper allows them to support basically any OS with a single app.

The downside for users is that reducing support for IMAP risks of causing lock-in. For better or worse IMAP is the standard way of accessing your messages for backup or to migrate to another provider and discontinuing it would be a very bad move.

…That doesn’t mean they won’t do it though. For example they have an export feature buried somewhere on their website. They could decide to kill the bridge & IMAP and only offer the export as the sole means of egress. In theory you would not be locked in, in practice who knows what the limitations might be. From a technical point of view, accessing your messages “live” through an IMAP bridge is a lot more secure than requesting a zip of all your messages (which needs to be stored temporarily who knows where).

If it’s resolved only on a private DNS server then it’s ok.

Unfortunately it is.

Hopefully they won’t discontinue the Linux bridge, as long as that works you can still use native Linux mail apps. But there’s rumors that they might go away.

Site owners haven’t figured that out yet. They still cling to the notion that search optimization works. And it still does, to some extent.

Like, if you’re a small business owner providing local services in your city and you get customers that find you through Google, what can you do except continue to optimize for Google?

Can’t use Windows plugins, it has its own.

If it’s any comfort I’ve spent about a year getting away from Gmail and I can report it is in fact doable.

Finding another email service and using a domain of my own with it was the easy part. The hard part was painstakingly replacing my address everywhere I was using it with new addresses.

Way more doable than YouTube, which I don’t foresee being replicated any time soon.

Try installing Audacious.

There isn’t much point of that, XMMS was basically that — a faithful reproduction of Winamp for Linux between 1997-2007. Since then there’s been a ton of forks — XMMS2, BMP, Youki, Audacious etc.

Audacious is still around, sort of (last release a year ago) and it’s basically Winamp, it can use Winamp skins and has plugins.

The only catch is that some ISP or workplaces filler public DNS entries that point to private IPs because they can be indications of certain attacks.

I wish there was some kind of place where we could croudsource impressions and fixes for new versions of docker images.

Manjaro does something like this for their releases. They also have a survey that indicates how well things went (although it’s participant biased to some degree since folks who had a problem tend to vote more than people who didn’t).

It would be amazing to be able to pop in and see that jellyfin had a couple of new releases, that one of them does much better than the others in terms of overall quality, and what kind of issues there are (and how to fix them).

You’re right. I’ll correct it.

…it doesn’t, you put static files on a CDN. Nobody in their right mind serves them from custom-made webservers (anymore). Those are intended exclusively for dynamic code (APIs for business logic, authentication, user actions, search etc.)
