child me blissfully unaware I missed my bus stop half an hour ago

Not diagnosed, but even if I am not adhd, I am preeeetty close to it in some regards.

The "active waiting" made me flinch due to how relatable it was for me for a long time. Got better by relegating a lot of to my phone and keeping said phone constantly cleared out so I won't miss an alarm or anything. Also with yime I saw how many folks just don't give a flying fuck about these things and found it easier to chill out (if I have my alarm/reminder set).

Still, if anything big is meant to happen that day, I am gonna watch paint dry while looking at time every fifteen minutes. Intensifies with each hour passing and getting me closer to the leaving time.

Bethesda doesn't know if Fallout 76 will ever move beyond America, but does give "a special shout-out" to Fallout London for making the dream a reality

I find perceiving mods as part of a core game weird as hell. But one thing I think Bethesda could do better was simply versioning. If there is a major, mod breaking update then proceed as planned but create a snapshot of older version and allow people access to it - as Beta version in Steam for example.

But it is silly to think that company shouldn't update their software because of mods.

While it might seem strange to you to consider modding essential, this is one of those games with a large number of players who do. That’s just the reality.

And that's exactly why I treat that view as my opinion and nothing more. There are good arguments for both views so...

When Wasteland 2: Director’s Cut automatically updated onto accounts for people who already owned the game, it simply appeared as a new, separate game.

That's also a good way to deal with it, although wasn't it a lot less "meaty" update in Fallout's case? Giving people easy way to rollback would be the best I think. Hell, not only in this case, but overall keeping two snajpshots back for games with heavy mod support could be a good thing.

I am so confused by the low link lol.

  • "AI haters build tarpits to trap and trick AI (!)" - Ohmy god poor AI :<
  • "...that ignore robots.txt!" - ...oh, so illegal AI...?
  • "Attackers explain-" - YEAH! THE EVIL AGRESSIVE
  • "how anti-spamdefense became an AI weapon" - ...folk trying to defend from spam...?

FFS they try to paint people protecting themselves as evil but are keeping facts too much and it becomes an absolute confusing mess xD

Totally

To be frank tho, not everything is gay and I sure as hell would be grief stricken if my best friend died. The difference is I do not wield as much power as Alexander did. xD

European Medicines Agency ditches Elon Musk’s X in favor of Bluesky

For the love of god wake up people, do you know what little percent of people know about fedi? Services like these jump to where the public is, not drags public behind it. Bluesky made huge jump publicity wise, and that's when it was already more widely known than fedi. Moaning about it doesn't help.

In perfect world, we'd have country-specific instances with all national news and announcments centralised in there, to which people could easily subscribe to. But that even sounds complex to average person, compared to "Hey, Bluesky? Yeah twitter but better".

I am sorry for your loss but, you are not responsible for troubles of others. You tried for a year or two. That's a lot. It seems you went further for that friend than most people would. Sometimes, we are not able to help others, no matter how hard we try.

I know it's not my place to say that but I've seen people I know get hit with the same kind of guilt, slowly but surely tearing at them and I don't really want anyone else to be in this place.
