OONI monitors internet censorship and other forms of network interference, especially by state actors, worldwide. It’s an important contributor to digital rights and freedoms IMO, and you can run their client in the background to contribute non-personal data on pretty much any device.

What were you able to find out about the cases? 👀

PSA: Inkscape is good now!

How is your network handling telemetry shenanigans?

No, no, you’re thinking of a manifold. A manosphere is an orb that keeps track of how much spellcasting energy you have left, next to your healthsphere.

Art 👌

They get you in different ways. Maybe Dave the Diver hooks you with some fun farm and restaurant mechanics. Then you make a little garden in Valheim and that feels pretty good. You think maybe you’ll experiment with a bit of Stardew. Then next thing you know, BAM you’re mainlining Farming Simulator-- Ironically at first, and then not.

That was a wild ride, thanks.

No no you misunderstand-- It’s primary storage. Your 1TB hard drive is merely a local cache for the $70 OneDrive plan that you for some reason haven’t subscribed to yet, but don’t worry, you’ll get lots of reminders to.

Yep, you’re right. But then puzzles would need to spend words explaining that detail, and participants would need to worry about how their language deals with non-integer numbers… Javascript users for example would have an annoying experience. It’s a snag that you could avoid just by having integer-only problems.

AoC usually avoids being fiddly about details of the actual tech-- You seldom see problems refer to data types or structures. The intent is to keep them open to as many programming languages (and other computation methods) as possible. It makes sense to me to stick to integers for that.

When they send over these time travelers, they’re not sending their best…

Lol why is Aqua Net hairspray specifically the thing that takes them down? Like other brands of hairspray don’t work? Spray paint or Elmer’s glue or maple syrup aren’t effective? You can’t just throw a bedsheet over them or hit them with a crowbar?

Also MMA doesn’t have anything to do with being staged.

Lol I went through the exact same process.

Their comment agitates both the “nuclear bad” crowd and the “nuclear good” crowd :(

AOC answers do need to be exact though, right? That implies integers only IMO, and I think that’s all I’ve ever seen… Not certain though.

Sounds normal to me, but I think you’re right that it depends on what they mean by “hike.” Around here, a casual trail walk in an area that’s likely to have other people around would not be beyond the pale… But like a back country slog where you park on the shoulder of a secondary highway 45 minutes out of town would.

It’s an algorithm that records its progress and any errors to a text file.

Can confirm. Mine will take about 3 days to charge from very low to full on a regular wall outlet. Still worth it sometimes though, like when I’m visiting family or camping or something. If I’m gonna spend the day somewhere (like 6+ hours, let’s say) it might be worth it.

It’s getting so hard to find outrelevant results these days.
