These are actually pretty good for NA (https://athleticbrewing.com/)

Rocket League. Games are quick, you can play one or many in a session. I don’t know if epic has ruined it yet, but last I played the good old core game was still there.

Right, you do have to understand that either way, if you put something on the public internet, it is gone.

I don’t want a company to sell my data, making money off of me, then having the audacity to ask me for MORE money on top (nitro). It feels gross.

I don’t mind sharing bits of myself online otherwise.

The owners of federated instances can also just start selling your data too at any point. And as you said, advertisers will also just scrape public data trivially. Basically, the internet and world is a terrible place.

But Discord has cultivated a queer membership by serving a different need than those platforms: privacy.

Yeah, gonna stop reading right there. Discord is absolutely selling your data. Nothing against inclusivity features though.

Discord became ubiquitous because it works well, and is free. Take VC money, run at loss, get tons of users, enshittify, die because something better becomes good enough. It’s just another one of those speed runs, which will happen over and over again until the end of humanity.

It was a wild ride, and so fun to look at, well deserved!

chance + stakes = gambling
chance + nothing = chance

Yeah lol learning poker hands is all it does, which is trivial. The hard part of gambling is learning odds and how to bet. There is a little bit of odds calculation in the game, but it’s incredibly unrealistic with all the modifiers, and they change on each run.

More like the internet, computers without internet are pretty chill.

Meh, sounds just like the general internet stranger rhetoric here too. If you don’t like Reddit… stop posting about Reddit?

I enjoy it, started playing recently! All the fun for me is in trying to find good loadouts completely on my own. I don’t want to watch some YouTuber show me the absolute maxed out best loadout, because that’s the entertainment to me. Progress is slow, I still haven’t cleared the game lol, but when I do, I know it will be my own choices that got me there. No shame in researching how to win if that’s your thing, I just love diving into games like this blind.

 

I’m looking for a self hosted solution to this problem:

I want to create a full text search index from a collection of PDF manuals (text, not images, I don’t care about OCR here). There is a UI to search for text matches in documents, and clicking a search hit opens the PDF scrolled to where the search hit is (bonus points if the search hit is hilighted)
