Finally, the racist and anti-africa map projection conspiracy of 1569 has come to an end. /s
Absurdly, that was the actual motivation behind the resolution. How embarrassing for all involved.
Choosing maps for political reasons is nothing new, of course. The UN's own emblem features a azimuthal equidistant projection, which is meant to present a balanced depiction of all the nations. It is strange to see them now pick one in order to promote a nakedly africa-centric message.
The evolution for Old School RuneScape was to just make cheating a built-in feature. It only takes a couple clicks every ten minutes to "play" the game.
I don't think you are wrong, per se, but at the same time the skill level of late-game (or even mid-game) encounters has also been increasing. Plus, they usually aim to strike a balance between less intensive but also less efficient activities vs. the ones requiring frequent clicks and full attention but offering quicker progression.
this was the evolution of most online games, same reason why every action/shooter game that's online at the moment has a mechanic that allows players to see through walls : if players have that mechanic available to them then there is a likely scapegoat to believe killed you rather than realizing that it's a hacker with invisible textures or wall hacks; lessens the work for the developer answering hate mail from people that got killed by hackers.
Which was added because people were already doing that on the normal crabs, but fighting over the spots. So they made a crab that any number of people can fight at the same time (combat is ordinarily one to one), and it always lives for ten minutes no matter how many people are fighting it or how hard.
I see electron in the repo but there is no mention of it on the main page. Providing desktop builds is essential, as Discord communities based around desktop activities may have little interest otherwise.
Fluxer is another discord clone that is AGPL, self-hostalbe, etc. How does that compare with Armada?
Maybe you could do a post on... remote attestation.
That is, the thing that people are actually talking about when they use that term: The means for companies and governments to usurp the ownership of consumer devices.
Grieving parents clamor for laws that will allow surveillance companies to surveil even harder, and for laws that force all people to be subject to their schemes.
Apparently companies can just kill kids to turn parents into their biggest advocates.
The incentives here should probably go in the other direction.
This construction of wind and solar has nothing to do with renewable, and everything to do with China's desire to get as much electricity generation as possible, which involves increasing nuclear, coal, hydro, and everything else.[1]
That wikipedia article needs to be updated for the last few years.
2025 was the first year where coal generation declined YoY. Nuclear capacity additions in 2025 were about 1% of solar additions - there is no comparison. Primarily solar and secondarily wind is the core generation strategy.
1GW of nuclear is worth about 3 to 6GW of solar if you account for the weather and nighttime. If you also account for nuclear not needing fossil backup its worth even more
The ideal is the owner being able to use TPM/SecureBoot/etc to ensure that the device is in the configuration they want. That means resisting tampering, and making any successful tampering become obvious.
The problem is third parties using TPM/SecureBoot/etc as a weapon against the owner via remote attestation, by preventing them from configuring their own device, with the threat of being cut off from critical services.
Having the upside without the downside would be nice, but how could it work? Is a technical solution feasible, or would it need a law/regulation?
Not a crypto expert, but given how both, bad players seeking control and people seeking to verify their cloud machines are both remote it seems that the technology will rollout without problem and will end up being force fed into all consumer devices with bullshit excuses.
Absurdly, that was the actual motivation behind the resolution. How embarrassing for all involved.
