A multiplayer game where the gameplay is entirely serverside and you connect to the game via what appears to be an unsecured vnc connection (like the sort that VNC Resolver picks up). However, there is no vnc server, the vnc client is talking directly to the game server. The playable characters in game are persistent, and the player is assigned temporary control of one at random when they log in.

i found this on tumblr, so accurate tbh

i am 'not disabled enough' for the judicial system but for my doctors i am 'too disabled', no wonder i had to find a lawyer

Hey, everyone. Many of you have been sharing "Lawyer, Passport, Locksmith, Gun" a lot more recently...

... a few folk have inquired about whether I can add transcription/subtitles to that whole talk for greater accessibility.

So now I'm asking: do I know anyone who does this as a service and would you like to hit me up with your rates and availability?

(NOTE: i'd prefer to give my money to LGBTQ+ folk right now, so please feel free to specify that if you're OK with doing so)

Speaking as someone living in Hungary, to friends in the #USA:

The greatest weapon the system has is outrage fatigue. Doing so many unimaginable things at the same time that people just sigh and go on. Having so many things to protest that you run out of days and hours. Piling on so you start focusing on surviving with your bare mental health day to day.

Pick your cause and stick to it. Support others who focus on different causes. Don't try to do everything at once.

I cleaned my whole place this weekend and the universe is rewarding me by making it somehow smell like fresh pine needles despite no such plant existing anywhere near me. I am like some kind of depression deity where having conquered physical space I created an entirely new smell universe

The brilliance of authoritarian movements politicizing scholarship & higher education is that any moves that universities take to defend themselves are instantly framed as “being too political” and universities loathe to be seen as being political.

bingo !!!

Uhh reply on my kernel patch. Did not yet get a reply because the reviewer is currently learning rust for proper review. That sounds actually very very good, and as I still have to write the other parts it’s fine to take some time

When people ask what it's like to work in gamedev I'm going to show them this post from now on.

My Fediverse Advice:

* Follow more people. No, even more people than that. Basically, if you find a real person and their posts are good follow 'em
* If you get a good reply to a post boost it. If you make a good reply to a post boost it. Replies are not visible in the feed unless you do this. As long as the post is an OK start to a conversation or interesting boost it.
* Write thoughtful replies. And if you put effort into a reply boost it or probably only the people tagged will see it.

Does anyone here know about the name change process in Oklahoma?

I want to change my name, but when looking at paperwork I found online... it asked for my parents location/contact info.

I don't want the court to contact my parents. I don't even know what their address is.

I'm in my 30s. They should have no place in this process. Especially because my birth name is a subject of PTSD for me....

Help?

Seeing a lot of posts wondering what a white person can do to signal to people that they didn’t vote for Trump. This isn’t my idea, and I’m sorry I didn’t bookmark the original, but the absolute easiest thing is wear a mask 😷

A Trump voter wouldn’t be caught dead in one, and even if the right wing co-opts it (like they did with safety pins) it’s win-win - they’ll still be protecting community

There is something I want sighted people to understand about blind people. If you see a blind person heading toward a wall, tree, bench, or any other object they might bump into and potentially get injured, it doesn’t necessarily mean you should immediately try to pull them out of the way. It's completely natural to feel concerned, but a better approach would be to just warn them and ask if they need help. While there are times when it's actually needed, it might also be that they are going toward a landmark they use for orientation, and as unfortunate as it is, you might unintentionally get them confused and disorientated. I often purposely look for such objects to better remember the route, and not all places are accessible enough for me to be able to get back on track if I take a wrong turn. Your help and concern are really appreciated a lot, but sometimes things are different from how they seem, and that's why it's always better to ask first.

Related question: given the direction the world is heading, I am looking at possibly going back to running our own hardware in a physical rack within our local jurisdication, instead of renting capacity in the cloud.

I am familiar with the usual suspects, but perhaps there are folks with excess rack space on here, or with good suggestions for new players that started in the past 5-10 years?
