I'm from the UK, my wife is from Singapore, and our son was born in the US. I really don't think it's appropriate to force him to pledge allegiance to the US, because he has strong ties to other countries. It feels like brainwashing.

It sounds to me like the usage data is talking about the fact that every major web browser sends identifying information about the browser, device, etc. when you visit any site.

For an app, they're likely getting data from Google Play or the App Store for crashes, installs, comments, whether they like it or not.

People don't often accuse me of being an optimist.

Just curious, how do you translate things? I know Mozilla recently did some local translation stuff in-browser, but what about before? Is there a good competitor to Google Translate?

Sounds like some wasp shit to me. Maybe ants. I haven't looked any of this up, but that's my guess.

For the Lap 64 contact that put Norris out of the race and demoted Verstappen to fifth after punctures, the stewards handed the world champion a 10-second time penalty.

It did not drop him from fifth however, as he was well ahead of the Haas of Nico Hulkenberg.

However, the stewards have also decided to award Verstappen two penalty points on his super-licence, bringing his total for the 12 month period to four, with 12 needed for ban.

Every driver has a few choices. Brake and wait, go off the track, or collide. You're not allowed to overtake off track, and you shouldn't cause a collision, so what's left?

Great analysis.

Brake, wait for the road to be clear. Not overtake off the track.

[-] essteeyou@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

You're allowed to almost go off the track.

I've worked back and front end, and with a lot of developers, and I don't think anyone would say they're the same. Software devs are some of the most pedantic people out there.

Just a little informal post to say I think about this game all the time at the moment. I know I shouldn't say it, but I miss the hype of No Man's Sky pre-launch. The podcasts, the Reddit threads, etc.

I just want some news, ideally a release date!

I just wanted to make this little post to say that after losing my previous permadeath save after 12 hours, I persisted, and made it to the center on my second attempt.

I kind of cheesed it though, thanks to the teleporter on the anomaly, and a guy named Jeff Pesos who happened to have a base one hop away from the galaxy's center.

I did manage to do this on the Playstation many years ago, but I recently got back into the game on PC and wanted to 100% it.

Anyway, that's it, thanks Jeff Pesos!

Taskmaster's Birthday (taskmastersbirthday.com)

Several months ago there was a QR code on an episode that led to the linked website.

Today's finally the day it says yes!

Boomer? This is an irrational joke.

I used to fish a little bit as a child with my great-grandfather's incredibly heavy rod. I stopped fishing as I got older and then picked it up a little bit back in September.

I've been fishing for around 6 days (several of them were full 8-hour days) and I finally caught a fish this morning!

I'm so glad to know I'm not doing it all wrong.

Of the species seen in the game so far, which one would you like to play as? Do you think it'll be possible?

I'll go first and say that I think it would be cool to play as a skeleton, but I'm not convinced that will be an option as skeletons are typically mobs.

The rabbits/hares/lagomorphs seem interesting.

Light No Fire on Steam (store.steampowered.com)

I've already added it to my wishlist. I hope it comes to consoles, too.
