And only 3 messages in spam but those are forwards from my gmail acct for notifications from google services. Can't be bothered to check if it's possible to use custom email instead because I should probably just stop using google altogether.
Yeah, voice chat is all we need.
That is expected to speedup though as headcount difference keeps getting skewed even more. At some point there just simply won't be enough people to hold the line.
Or better yet, host your own TeamSpeak server.
Speaking of which, are there any decent FOSS alternatives? Discord got banned in my homecountry and forcing it through VPN or proxy is a total pain in the ass. Forced my friends to move to TS as that's what we used back in the day... like a decade ago, but maybe there's something modern and more open nowadays?
Arent they like $100/yr a pop? Thats less than what adobe charges for photoshop.
This is a very legit concern. But to my understanding, it is possible to make the the camera that's very hard to crack, by putting security enclave or whatever it is that makes phones hard to unlock, right inside the CCD chip. Even if somebody manages to strip off the top layer, chart out the cryptographic circuit, probe the ROM inside, etc and extract the private key, it should be possible upon finding it to revoke the key to that camera or even the entire model and make it even more painful in further models.
Another concern is of camera being pointed to the screen with a fake image, but I've searched and yet to find a convincing shot that doesn't look like, well, a photo of a screen. But for this concern I think the only counter-measure would be to add photographer and publisher signatures to the mix, so that if anyone is engaging in such practice is caught, their entire library goes untrusted upon revocation. Wouldn't be completely foolproof, but better than nothing, I guess.
The only thing it opens up is that as a game developer I can make a contract that turns NFT items from another game into NFT items of my game. Like HyperDragons that you level up by feeding them CryptoKitties, without consent or approval from CryptoKitties devs.
But why on earth, as a game developer, would you ever do that... Well, other than as a PR stunt.
Had thoughts like that before, someone pointed that it already exists and is called C2PA - no blockchain necessary. It's not yet widespread, though.
As for NFT, when it came out I had thoughts that it could be used for completely transparent and automated businesses. Something like an AirBnB with a digital lock on the front door and you could buy an NFT for a daily stay that you could use to unlock said lock. But then if there's only one company that accepts said NFT's then there's zero reason for it to be on blockchain, they can just send you the code, and if they scam you there's no use for either NFT or the code. There could be real estate ownership certificates, but then again, there would always be only one authority issuing them - zero reason for blockchain. There could be like crowdfunding NFT, but then again, there could only one party managing the funds. There were tons of ideas for practical usage of NFT's, but all of them hinge on there being some party linking the zero-trust crypto and the real world, and if there's only a single trusted party then it always makes more sense for that party to deploy a normal database in place of blockchain and just provide an API endpoint to verify ownership.
EDIT: Fixed wrong link
Lets give it to Poland then... Just to fuck with Germans as well
Alright, alright, Russian here, let's negotiate. I'm generally in favor of Ukraine taking Chechnya, Dagestan and Ingushetia off our hands. You couldn't take Kaliningrad even over my dead body, but we can offer ~~a nuclear wasteland~~ Novaya Zemlya instead (but we'll keep nuking the shit out of it), and Sakhalin, too, just to fuck with Japan even more.
Deal?
And what about Belarus? And Transnistria?
Just checked, there are still brand new monitors on the market with just VGA+HDMI (e.g. MSI MP223, DELL SE2722H), but you'd really have to scrape the bottom of the barrel nowadays to find one. I think I actually might have a GPU with one of those lying around somewhere, thought, but does it even count if I never used one?
I remember when I was a kid and we started learning foreign languages in school. My class got divided into two halves, ones that study English and other that study German. Few month later I was walking down the street with my classmate and he went like:
Oh, so you're studying English, huh? What does DUHR mean?
What?
DUHRR
Oh, you mean door? It's spelled do-o.
Bro, there's an R in there and two O's. DUHR. Even I know that, and I'm not even the one studying English. If door was do-o, then would you spell TOH DOH as "to do"?
Little did the bro know... I hope he at least got German well enough, AFAIK there's little bullshit like that
