Because a well designed game does not include drudgery. “Work-simulators” focus on results and progress and gloss over many of the hours of outright boredom or physical exertion to get there.

For example, truck driving simulator does not include the pain in the ass and boring part of loading or unloading the truck. Farming simulator does not include the painstaking process of removing rocks from the field.

While I grew up on a farm, my first proper career was something called OBC seismic. What it is isn’t as important as the fact that it involved placing a 6km long sensor cable on the seabed with a winch and position it properly. To do this right requires practice, and as the principle is farly easy I wrote a small simulator that our trainees could try out. At first they found it interesting, and even the seniors from other departments enjoyed toying with it. The biggest lack of realism was that it didn’t involve doing it for 12 hours straight, only stopping to unscrew 25 meter sections and replacing them. Barring drudgery and repetitive boredom could’ve probably made it an interesting game similar to other work simulators.

I found mine here, I’m sure you’ll recognize yours: https://m.gsmarena.com/sony_ericsson-phones-19.php

Sony Ericsson W810i. Got it in 2007, I think. When it started to die on me in late 2009 i replaced it with an iPhone 3G, which was my first apple phone. It was also my last apple phone as I hated how locked down everything was.

EDIT: I just remembered I had a secondary dumbphone around 2012 or thereabouts. It was a dual SIM nokia of some sort that I used mainly as a backup phone in case my main ran out of battery while I was on the move.

My “salads” are technically that due to having cucumber in them. But other than that it’s mostly just cheese which I don’t like with olives.

I may have, I don’t know enough about olives to tell. I usually just buy the biggest jar of castrated green olives that I can find here in scandinavialand.

Green olives. None of my cooking use them as an ingredient, so once in a blue moon I remember that I like them, so I eat an entire jar with a toothpick.

I was thinking the same thing. Spanning tree is love. Spanning tree is life…when deployed correctly.

Alternatively I’m thinking noise, as I’ve seen that in 10gig connections a few times, which is why I prefer LC fiber where possible.

We’re still closely related

And I saw it. What’s your fix for botnets and brigading?

Whenever I hear someone suggest “an algorithm” without elaborating further, I’m usually correct in presuming that it makes as much sense as “a wizard will use magic”. The other times it’s usually someone suggesting blockchain. Sometimes it’s both.

Or, hear me out, collaboration across networks. That’s what lemmy does. And it’s nothing new.

Because some of us remember how the internet was without moderators, and how it went to shit early 2000’s when “everyone” started using it.

20-25 years ago mods were rarely needed beyond booting a couple of spammers and getting rid of the occasional goatse and tubgirl. Now platform-wide efforts are needed to combat csam and gore.

Yes, it would be very weird for server addresses to have the service name as a subdomain. Like a common prefix of web servers to signify that it’s serving world wide web.

On a more serious note, this used to be fairly common for many protocols to ensure loaf balancing between different protocols - you’d have one server for www, one for ftp, and so on.

Also, from an administrative point of view, it’s more manageable when you can, for example, add an entire (sub)domain to the firewall rules.

Discouragement. It was a bad idea to climb down from the trees to begin with.

Depends on your OS, but symlinks can do that for you - file exists once, but multiple “files” link to it. The application (torrent client) doesn’t care.

So for the next 20 years all AAA game publishers will do the game equivalent of only releasing MCU/DC reboots, sequels and prequels?

Well, we could agree on those two things, at least…

…and they’re gonna make the volcanoe pay for it.

Something about volcanoes not sending their best. Look at ehat happened to Pompeii
