Don’t mean to clutter the thread but it sounds like option 3 is the best user experience. Hyper privacy focused users are probably more likely to make their own instance or use another smaller one.
Love the work you do, I appreciate it so much!

If this is feasible, it sounds like an elegant solution. Does it work for the various mobile apps, or would each app need to do it on their end?

Years ago a Psych episode had Burton say “all the men’s health journals agree” that it’s better for your circulation, and I never looked back (nor fact checked).

At this point, I feel like the meme hate is what keeps it going. Trying to get shock value and some kind of rise out of the audience.
The first few times were funny. I do not understand why this meme was picked to go viral.

I have no idea. If you recorded something on vhs it didn’t play it back unscrambled did it?

Honestly same, it’s not like you have to go digging for it, or like it’s different for every woman. It’s right there.

tl;dr on the new LOTR films, he hasn’t seen a script so he hasn’t made a decision.

Honestly same. I saw that lemm.ee was the second largest and had an active admin, felt like I would dip my toes in and I would change if needed.
Never needed to, stuff like this gives me confidence in the platform.
- Comment on Sun Haven is for Stardew Valley fans that want more and it now has controller support 5 months ago:
Yeah that’s fair.
It feels bad to see this giant wall of DLCs, just feels like a cash grab. I appreciate the transparency anyway, and I don’t have to participate to enjoy it.
- Comment on math checks out 5 months ago:
That’s a good point, a lot of people are still on old Avaya or Cisco systems and it was expensive to do that. A lot of cloud providers now don’t charge anything for it.

Yeah, it’s a feature dubbed “queued callback”. Saves your place, it’s a pretty common request. Customers like Delta, Intuit, Pacific Life, Citibank, Dyson, all use the platform I build (Amazon Connect) and do stuff like that.
Problem is, no one answers a call from an unknown number these days. Some phones are getting smart enough to recognize the number and show that it’s a business, though that’s more anecdotal evidence from my personal device (Pixel Fold with Google Fi carrier).
- Comment on math checks out 5 months ago:
I sell and build call centers for a living.
Yeah, it’s fake lol. I mean maybe for some businesses it isn’t fake, but usually clients would ask us to make it where “if there’s more than X calls in queue, play the message”. Turns out, there’s always more than X calls in queue. It’s not actually looking at the average.
It’s kinda weird, some things are just always like that, some things clients want to add in because the average user expects it.
Someone wanted a repeat caller to get bumped to the front of the queue. Literally encouraging the “if I hang up and call back I’ll get there sooner” people. Awful.
- Comment on Sun Haven is for Stardew Valley fans that want more and it now has controller support 5 months ago:
I’m on year 2 of the game, and rarely notice bugs. There’s this arena boss fight you can do, my wife died and teleported outside the area, but her crossbow shots traveled infinitely and could still damage the same boss I was stuck in the arena with. Random stuff like that, certainly nothing game breaking, no crashes or anything.
Compared to Stardew Valley, it’s much more heavy on quests. SV has some basics, but it’s pretty much just build the community center, upgrade your house, get married, etc. It’s also much heavier on skill progression. You’ll eventually use magic for nearly everything if you (mining, tree harvesting, watering, fishing, etc.).
Sun Haven also has 3 different towns, all roughly the size of Stardew Valley (the main town is bigger though).
Which leads me into my only real complaint. You will have a farm in all 3 towns, with their own houses, crops, barn animals, and quests. If you play alone, it’s kind of a lot to manage. It’s just my wife and I that play, but if I played on my own, I would probably only focus on one town at a time, which feels weird. I’d rather the game introduce something like a familiar that can slowly take care of things while I’m gone doing other stuff.

If it matters they’re all skins that don’t really matter, purely cosmetic. I bought and played the game, on year 2.
If you’re opposed on principle, I get it, but IMHO extra cosmetic packs aren’t predatory. What you get for your money is clear (unlike loot boxes) and you aren’t paywalled behind new content (so no FOMO).

- Comment on Vanguard takes screenshots of your PC every time you play a game 6 months ago:
I know PII is protected, and a company like Riot is audited. I’m sure something in their TOS says they can collect the information, as BS or unenforceable as it is.
They’re probably multi-cloud, but I know they are a huge AWS customer because they have a giant booth at re:Invent every year. AWS has pretty easy ways to encrypt data and even detect if it has PII. They’d encrypt or redact the images because the potential of capturing HIPAA or PCI information is too great a risk.
If anything, trust that the company is profit driven and will avoid that risk. They’re still garbage and kernel level anti-cheat sucks, but we shouldn’t be spouting that unencrypted stuff as fact.

The screenshots are awful, but your statement is pure speculation, and likely just wrong. It’s pretty easy to encrypt images.
- Comment on When did breasts become a thing that needed to be concealed in public and why? 7 months ago:
You are 100% correct.
I think OP agrees with you too, but the question is more around the “why”. Once, we were also like animals, and didn’t have clothing. To the animal brain, things like large breasts or wide hips means better reproduction. Did we start to cover up because it was cold and we got sick? It makes more sense to me that we started for practical reasons, and the hyper-sexualization came later, probably with religion.
Today, women are sexualized to an insane degree, and expanded to any number of inane body parts and not just breasts.
I think OPs question could also be phrased as “why did sex become so taboo?” And we might get a broader picture.
