I enjoy Nightingale. The crafting system is pretty deep, but the combat is pretty meh.
- Comment on South Korea police say 120,000 home cameras hacked for 'sexploitation' footage 1 week ago:
advocating common sense is not victim blaming.
You say that, but you also said this in your original statement, which is classic victim blaming:
sometimes people really do get what they deserve 🤷♂️
They did not deserve this. You can say you are advocating for common sense, but the first thing you said was that they deserved to be harmed.
I’ve seen this comment, and I do not find it persuasive. For the first part, how do you know it is a sketchy neighborhood? You could easily walk into a situation you have no way to know is a bad situation through no fault of your own. What if you are there to take pictures in the neighborhood? There are a ton of reasons someone could find themselves in that situation. If you get robbed, the blame still falls on the perpetrator. The person did not deserve to be robbed.
The car analogy does not have anything to do with this situation. You would be walking into a space where you knew you were likely to get hurt, vs this situation where you expect to NOT be hurt.
and one should assume that at least some of the women who were patients there had one. it only takes one person to raise an alarm in situation like that.
And if that were the case, I would assume that detail would at least be mentioned in the article since that could be it’s own story. Honestly it would be a better way to frame this article. All of the little details point to this not being the case and they just mentioned the gynecologist for engagement bait.
- Comment on South Korea police say 120,000 home cameras hacked for 'sexploitation' footage 2 weeks ago:
i’ll go out on a limb here and say that records from the lobby don’t make very good “sexploitation” material
The article only states that a gynecologist’s office camera was hacked, not that the footage was used. It sucks, but I can guarantee they put that in there for shock value.
Later it states 1193 videos were made from 133,000 cameras that were hacked, so while nobody but the people with the data can say for sure, it is quite possible it was just a lobby camera.
the article is about camera hacks, not cameras hidden by some peeping tom
Yes, but your argument is that people should have gone elsewhere. People are just giving you pretty reasonable explanations as to why they might not have simply gone to another doctor. Nobody is saying “This is exactly what happened.”
“some” might not, but again, there is no indication these were purposely hidden cameras, so lot of them should.
There is no indication that it was a visible camera in the exam room either. You just made that assumption.
The article says nothing about the circumstances, so everything said is speculation. Assuming the camera was visible and in the exam room is just that, an assumption. Just as you made that assumption, others gave reasons why that may not be true.
You can justify victim blaming all you want, but the fact of the matter is the blame lies solely on the perpetrator. If they did not do the bad deed, then the victim would not be a victim.
You can, and should, have situational awareness, but that is something that comes with experience and practice. Not everyone can prepare for every situation.
- Comment on South Korea police say 120,000 home cameras hacked for 'sexploitation' footage 2 weeks ago:
A lot of pretty reasonable ways it could happen.
- It says nothing about it being in an exam room, could have been in the lobby
- Could have been hidden as others have said
- Could have simply gone unnoticed since people would not expect a camera in exam rooms
There are a lot of people to potentially blame here, none of which are the victims

Typically it is different colors of the same material, but you can put different materials in each slot too. Common 3D printing filaments are PLA, PETG, ABS, TPU, and less so ABA.
- Comment on My Car Is Becoming a Brick: EVs are poised to age like smartphones. 2 weeks ago:
Yup, there have been a lot of battery issues with electric cars. The good news is those seem to be few and far between nowadays.
After that, I bought a Tesla. Downvote me if you want, but it was the next best option.
I can’t and I wouldn’t anyway. Before we knew Elon was a fascist, they were usually a good option (provided you got one from a good run). We bought a used Tesla in 2016. It was a great car, but when someone sideswiped it and totaled it in 2020, we could not in good conscious get another one.

Yeah, one of the founders is from OG Tesla. Still not putting a deposit, but makes me more optimistic.
- Comment on My Car Is Becoming a Brick: EVs are poised to age like smartphones. 2 weeks ago:
I feel like the Telo has more bonafides than the Aptera. At least one of the founders has shipped a car in the past (original Tesla Roadster). Slate has Amazon backing, so will probably happen, but also Amazon…

The all had 200-250 mile ranges. Less than 320, but fine for most folks. Now there are so many good EV options, the only downside is cost nowadays. We need a good, compact, inexpensive EV with decent charging speeds. The Bolt almost does that, bit the charging speeds are real slow
- Comment on My Car Is Becoming a Brick: EVs are poised to age like smartphones. 2 weeks ago:
There were other options that just weren’t well advertised/known. KIA Niro/Hyundai Kona, Chevy Bolt, and Jaguar I-Pace all existed in 2019 in addition to the 2 you mentioned.
- Comment on Five years from launch the PS5 is a roaring success, so why doesn't it feel like it? [Eurogamer] 4 weeks ago:
The only reason I got a PS5 was because my PS4’s HDMI port got damaged somehow. The controller is a significant upgrade if games use it, but not a lot do. Looking back, I probably would have been fine without it at all since I have a Steam Link and that works great in the TV

In this case the article references specific arcade beat-em-ups that the game reminds them of, so I don’t think it is off base.

This has been going around lately, but the arbitration clause has been in the ToS for at least a year, but probably since the beginning. Not saying it is a good thing, but it is already far too late. The new update just added “resources” for arbitration. You know, arbitrators that are paid by Discord

For sure if you are already planning a hardware change, but but with the state of the world, using what you have is the only option for a lot of folks.

- Comment on Microsoft is plugging more holes that let you use Windows 11 without an online account 2 months ago:
I’m guessing it’s like MacOS where if it’s a game not on Steam then you’re shit out of luck if there isn’t a Linux specific version?
In addition to the options hamsterkill said, I run a lot of non-Steam games through Steam without issue. I’ve even run non-game software through it.

I disagree with colournoun. Nvidia is not complex, you just have to find distros that work better with it. I us pop_OS with a 2080 and have had zero issues. They have an Nvidia specific install option and it is super easy to install and use.

I bounced hard of the first two Witcher games and to a lesser extent the third. The controls in the first are especially bad though
- Comment on Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of October 5th 2 months ago:
I paid for Nightingale on Steam, and I still give it a recommended. For sure shows it’s early access bones, but the crafting is deeeep. Hard sell for some folks though, since it doesn’t tutorialize well.
- Comment on 📚 Ruminating on eReaders: Rambling thoughts and memories of my first two eReaders, the Kindle Keyboard and Kindle Voyage 2 months ago:
Your initial comment was why do they need to exist, not just that you don’t need one. That’s great you like your setup and it works for you. olive_tips point was that they exist because other people like them and use them.
On a personal note, I have had my Kindle for years and don’t want or need a tablet. The battery still lasts weeks, and it is jail broken so I can easily transfer DRM free books from calibre. I have not held an iPad mini, but it is lighter than any other device I have held, and fits in my pocket.
- Comment on Ghost of Yotei | Review Thread 2 months ago:
I played the first one “co-op” with my partner, and that helped dampen some of the repetitive elements. She made all the decisions and I controlled the game Will probably do the same with this, but much farther down the road when it is cheaper

Had to go fridge shopping recently, and looked at them in the stores. The only feature I’ve seen that is semi-useful is seeing what is inside without opening the door. 100% not worth the cost or ads. Plus the more complicated the extras, the more things that can go wrong. Wound up with a fridge that doesn’t even have an in door water dispenser and it is great
