I can't say that I'd noticed anything ... but I'm always happy for fixes!

Yeah, I got it like its first day of early access, super excited by the art style and then got immediately turned off by the stamina system.

I don't think I'm a big souls-like fan, but I can at least tolerate Elden Ring, Lords of The Fallen, and really enjoyed Remnant II.

I also don't know if they've changed this, but I found their exit game button being hidden behind tab and then a submenu within that overlay to be just incredibly dumb.

I ended up refunding it for the above.

It looks like they still haven't implemented co-op which is also a huge shame. That might have at least made it somewhat more worthwhile (for me anyways).

It's really just a shame as I love the art style and the world seems really cool ... but I really don't want to deal with the stamina system.

Salesforce is an absolute nightmare fuel product.

They own the language you code in. They own the database you're using. They own the ONLY infrastructure that can execute the code you've written.

It is the epitome of vendor lock-in.

PSA: TIL You Can Autostart ProtonMail Bridge Hidden (social.packetloss.gg)
 

A complaint I've had for a while is that the Proton Mail bridge auto starts with the ProtonMail Bridge configuration window open. If you're like me, everytime you restart your computer, Proton Mail Bridge jumps up in your face and you immediately close it.

TIL (today I learned), there's a flag you can pass on the command line "--no-window" that starts the app without opening a window.

If you edit your system startup entry (this varies by operating system) and add this flag to its command line arguments, Proton Mail Bridge will still start, however, it will start to the tray and no window will appear.

As an example on KDE Linux:

  1. Search for "Autostart"
  2. Press the "See Properties" button on the Proton Mail Bridge Autostart entry
  3. Go to the "Application" tab
  4. Add "--no-window" to the "Arguments" text box (it should be an empty text box, if it's not make sure there's a space between any existing arguments, e.g., "--foo" -> "--foo --no-window" not "--foo" -> "--foo--no-window")
  5. Press "OK" and the next time you reboot your computer, Proton Mail should auto start in the background to the tray.

Introducing Privacy Pass authentication for Kagi Search | Kagi Blog (blog.kagi.com)
 

Today we are announcing a new privacy feature coming to Kagi Search. Privacy Pass is an authentication protocol first introduced by Davidson and recently standardized by the IETF as RFCs. At the same time, we are announcing the immediate availability of Kagi’s Tor onion service.

In general terms, Privacy Pass allows “Clients” (generally users) to authenticate to “Servers” (like Kagi) in such a way that while the Server can verify that the connecting Client has the right to access its services, it cannot determine which of its rightful Clients is actually connecting. This is particularly useful in the context of a privacy-respecting paid search engine, where the Server wants to ensure that the Client can access the services, and the Client seeks strong guarantees that, for example, the searches are not associated with them.

Very very different crashes.

The planes that hit the twin towers were bigger, going faster, and had more fuel.

The twin towers themselves were also built with a different skyscraper design at well that used fewer steel beams. I don't remember what the names of the skyscraper design types were but I remember a 9-11 history channel program going into it.

Proton is a greedy company that doesn’t like interoperability and likes to add features designed in a way to keep people locked their Web UI and applications.

That's nonsense. Proton has built everything around PGP and allows uploading public keys for users not using Proton Mail so that you can messaging them with Proton's PGP system automatically.

There's 0 vendor lock in (in the entire Proton ecosystem) and there's tons of open sourced code.
