2·3 months agoOh I think you absolutely nailed it. I just meant its not just two separate words. Like the difference between a game with action and adventure" and an “action-adventure game”
I love it, I wouldn’t have clicked this post without it. Its an actual term
https://www.howtogeek.com/what-are-boomer-shooters-and-are-they-worth-playing/
Continuing gaming’s long tradition of dumb names for game genres, boomer shooters are first person shooters that don’t use auto-regen health (COD, Halo), in offline they give health frequently from killing enemies (rather exclusively health packs), and they’re designed to be fast paced, usually with a wide FOV, an absurdly high “walk” speed with no run button, and somewhat disorienting or labyrinth-like map style. They’re often offline, but can be multiplayer player-vs-player.
Even if the game is completely modern: Doom Eternal, Ultrakill, Dusk, Turbo Overkill, etc its still called a boomer shooter.
2·3 months agoThose are really good points, and I appreciate the input. I could see why alcohol being on someones desk isn’t a problem, e.g. depending on the person its possible the bottle doesn’t have a “gravity” tempting them.
I’m going to guess that reality is somewhere between my points and your points. Notifications can be configured, but my grandmother isn’t going to figure it out. Having a bottle of alcohol on every person’s desk is probably completely neutral for a lot of people, but could be detrimental to others. Etc
I’m saying one of the big downsides has nothing to do with self discipline.
- Even if we never click an advertisement.
- Even if we never eat from the candy bowl.
- Even if we never use the bad phone apps.
Merely living in a world covered in advertisements, living next to a delicious smelling candy bowl, living 30 seconds away from memes, rage-bait, doom scrolling, sports gambling, and other slop – just living next to those things are bad for our mental health.
Some sources if you’re curious on the research behind it. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4731333/

I disagree. Yes there can be good intermediate steps, but deleting slop is not even half as healthy as locking a phone away.
- Interruptions
Not just phone calls or texts, but things like typing an email on the phone and then seeing a text or having the GPS interrupt your train of thought by yelling “Continue straight for 5 miles”. Brains hate interruptions. Those are still going to exist even when the slop is gone.
- Resisting a temptation is exhausting. “not eating candy is healthy”… yes but having a candy bowl right next to your desk is exhausting. It takes 2sec to open a twitter link in the browser. Uninstalling an app is like moving the candy bowl to a nearby room, yeah its better, but it only takes 30 sec to reinstall.
Turning off the dopamine machine (not eating candy) is one thing. But Eddy was showing something a lot bigger than that; deleting his access to the temptation. He didnt know the code to unlock the phone.
3·8 months agoI think it could be a great solution. I’ve never considered it before. That said there’s one sticking point for me:
Apportion payment to developers based on software use by paid users and the size of their contribution to that software.
That^ . That needs a lot more detail. If they provide solid details – details that most can agree on – then I will actually be on board with the solution.
Yeah I wish there was a way to contribute to the hosting with torrent-like seeding. My phone can seed a torrent, but its not going to host an instance.
1 like = seed for 1 month seems like an interesting model
0·10 months agoI mean technically the client is verifiable if you use discord in a browser tab… and verify it every time you load the web page… 🙃
Celebrities are going to be shocked when they hear about email
Cool, this is exactly what I was hoping to learn but couldn’t find. It sounds like its still a pretty manual process, but thats okay. If thats how it is righ now, then thats exactly what I want to know.
I’m considering making tools (GUI local app, but also website AUTH frontend/backend tooling) to try and make systems like this more commonplace and standardized. I didn’t know about revocation keys, so I’m glad I heard about that before trying to build my own.
Yeah, sorry I incrementally edited the title before posting and accidentally made it make no sense. I meant publicly announce that a private key was compromised
I don’t see anywhere in his comment(s) where he says something postive about privacy guides.
He got convinced, its now Auxolotl!
Theres going to be an official reevaluation once the governance has finished bootstrapping.
I read it as “a pin nix” like appendix with a lisp
Agreed, I made a thread for it. You’ve got some good names!
You should learn the nix lang, flakes, zero to nix, etc and try not to get bogged down in the Nix/Aux stuff. Be prepared to wait for things to settle down on that side.
