Outer Wilds developed by Mobius and published Annapurna.

A game you can ever truly experience once because the “unlocks” and “progression” are about what you learn and know.

Rime is hauntingly beautiful in a way that hits you as it finishes.

Outer Wilds is a masterpiece.

This here is the Volt family.

Marty volt is small and so he can jump across a small stream. Put up a small net and it’s impossible for him

Victor, though. He’s got some strong legs. He can jump the net and the stream.

In fact, he’s so strong he can jump over a small river but not if you put a small wall across the way. Then, even with a running jump, he’ll be blocked.

And finally there’s Kal, ahem, Clark Volt. He’s super strong. So strong it could be an ocean and with a little jaunt before leaping he’d jump it.

The stronger the volt, the further they can go and the bigger the obstacle you need to make it impossible for them to make it.

So high enough voltage can literally leap through air (that’s the arcing you see in power plants shorting or lightning) or even wood itself. Even rubber, with a high enough voltage, will be conductive since the sheer force of the current will find a path for the charge.

That’s also why we have lighting rods, it’s easier to redirect the current to a safe spot made to handle it than to try and make high skyscrapers out of a material that can resist the insane charges of lightning and still be strong enough and light enough to build with.

Like a retweet. People that follow you will see what you boost on their feed.

You can subscribe to magazines/communities but and follow users.

Also, upvotes (on kbin) are favorites. And any upvote/downvote will show you did it and federate to other instances. For example go to “more | activity” on your comment and select “favourites” to see what I mean

I’m listening to the audiobook of the graveyard book narrated by him right now and it’s fantastic

Ahh. So what would be helpful then, for smaller communities that started here not knowing there was one someplace else would be to add some kind of post that points to the specific community.

As we’re still learning as we go here

How do I, a user with a kbin.social account, create a post there?

If it helps any there are some things that are fundamentally random and unknowable.

Given a starting condition and an infinite amount of processing power we can predict the overall trend of large systems but you can’t accurate model the exact point of a subatomic particle because you can’t know it’s speed and it’s location since the process of measuring one affects the other.

Subatomic particles are just wild

The threads and comments replicating over there now?

What happens to posts/comments and any media/content that is hosted on a server that just goes away (for example if I created one virtually and then deleted it or if a sdcard on a pi is corrupted)

Roy Batty isn’t the villain… he’s a victim of the entire system that treats him like one because he exists.

Man… I gotta watch that movie again, fantastic film

Not to mention that we can “visualize” the segments and networks by the numbers. Makes it easier to recognize, as an analogy,

This state, that city, this road, that house.

Versus ipv6. Of course there’s so much space in v6 that it isn’t an issue except it’s such a pain to work with for people who tend to think in ipv4 octets and bit masks

They could be. Or they could be sales, or brand ad coordination, or hr, or legal handling the various issues related to products, lawsuits, regulations, actual law enforcement inquiries, etc.

Like any corporation there’s a ton of backend staff doing stuff people don’t see because it makes the parts they do see operate.

For anybody doing this seriously be careful. High salt/protein and low water sounds like a recipe for all kinds of issues.

For example extremely high water low salts can cause brain swelling and death.

Ooh. A small broken octagonal habitat shape with the fossilized remains of dolphin bones and dolphin shaped mechanized suits. As well as some kind of buried damaged “launch pad” that could fit a decent sized ship.

Wait… that would be less confusing and more exciting as a earths history kind of thing.

A standard automotive bolt. Maybe something that was ubiquitous in the 1950’s but isn’t used today in place of something cheaper and more reliable

One rule to leave them all
One rule to find them

One rule to bring them all
And in 196 bind them

The issue isn’t trust. It’s the same as anything else electronic such as having a backdoor to encryption.

Anything physical requires a certain amount of effort to break in such a way that is widespread and without making it obvious.

But purely digital/online means that any bad faith actor with enough resources (such as nation states) can scale up the means and methods to manipulate it or break it.

I’m all for electronic voting for tallying with physical paper trails that can be used to verify the integrity of the digital results.

Yet disorder and ambiguous goals/requirements by management tends to have a domino effect.
