The company said that users can opt out of having their data processed for advertising purposes by turning off a setting related to “technical and interaction data” on both desktop and mobile at any time. [Emphasis added.]

This is the real story. Having opt-out data collection is one thing, but misleading users about how they use the data they collect is just slimy.

@notesnook@fosstodon.org As long as Firefox remains the best platform for uBlock Origin, I'll keep using it.

Summon Night Swordcraft Story has active combat (that's what makes it Tales-like), so probably not what you're looking for here.

It's not just "hardly anyone," it's "literally no one." Varlink was invented by the systemd developers out of whole cloth specifically for this purpose.

If the compiler produces a program that doesn't match your description, you can debug the compiler. Can you debug an LLM?

Well, remember, a code smell isn't something that's inherently bad, it's "a hint that something might be wrong".

I'm not saying that anyone should flag lambdas as a problem in code review, just that when you see one, it's probably worth taking a second to ask yourself if a named function would make more sense.

I appreciate that this article highlights the value of using of named functions in functional-style code. Too often, programmers assume that "functional programming" means using lambdas everywhere, when in my experience, lambdas are actually a (very mild) code smell.

Just started Summon Night: Swordcraft Story. So far I'm enjoying trying out all the different kinds of weapons and picking up hints about the game's unique worldbuilding. Now that I'm out of the tutorial section, I'm looking forward to seeing the story pick up and hoping to find a little more variety in the design of the upcoming dungeon levels.

I've used Debian for years on my personal machines and have never had this problem. According to Debian's documentation for NetworkManager, a user account must be in the netdev group in order to manage system-wide network connections. The initial user account that the Debian installer creates for you is in this group by default, but maybe the accounts you created for your family members aren't?

It's not a real game, just an illustration of what one might look like.
