Oh, yikes, that does seem poorly-designed for the majority of use cases. Thank you for taking the time to write that up and recommend alternatives, I really appreciate understanding it better.

Wait, if not Matrix, what is a good software for this? I thought it was preferred for having an E2E encryption implementation.
barsquid@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What are some popular criticisms you see about any show/movie/videogame that you strongly disagree or you just don’t think it’s really a bad thing?1·6 months agoThat is why I wrote specifically “long dungeons,” yeah. Those are simple and short, all the same little floating skulls, maybe one treasure that is a mild head-scratcher to get at. The boss fights in there are barely distinct from each other. It feels cheap compared to previous releases.
They did put all those tool puzzles into shrines. But they are one-offs and simplified. It takes longer to find a shrine than to solve it. And too many of them are just “fight this same little spidery guy again.”
The whole experience strikes me as Zelda for people who hated the majority of the content in previous games.

It is a very mid outdoor walking simulator with fetch quests. I don’t care about the breakable weapons, even. I want the collection of tools, the long dungeons with puzzles using those tools, and the bosses vulnerable to those tools.

I’d like to urge you not to use GitLab for your source code due to the ridiculous numbers of severe CVEs. I don’t think they have any idea how to write secure code and I don’t think they care to learn.
Here is the most recent one I know of. The article mentions it’s the fourth in a year. Here is the most egregious one IMO, how are they so bad at coding they would accept unverified inputs to send emails to?

But it seems like there are other easy distros with lenient requirements that don’t try to force Snaps and ads on their users.

Anything that keeps maps in local storage so you can use GPS while offline is somewhere between very helpful and lifesaving. Sounds like Osmand is in there.
Organic Maps lets you download also. I got it specifically for backpacking because it enabled that. It certainly has been worth the $0. I should probably donate something each trip.
That kind of contribution seems like a lower level of effort than making changes to source code.

barsquid@lemmy.worldto Privacy@lemmy.ml•What's up with financial sites refusing to delete your account?13·8 months agoIf they aren’t cooperating with recovering access to your accounts, report them to the CFPB. They are legally required to give a real response instead of a form letter. I assume it costs them time and money, which is a side benefit.
If the federal government requires 7 years, they probably will not budge on that at all. They should have a strong incentive to not leak that data, but they don’t. That is a failing of the US government. We need a HIPAA but covering any personal data instead of only health.

A while back I read something like a stalker caught a reflection in someone’s eye at a train station, that’s horrific enough. But I would have thought being indoors is relatively safe. It is like impossible to put out video content at all without being vulnerable.
