I think they’ve been running around in Milton Keynes, UK for a few years now.

If you host your own DB of users and passwords you are a target. Offloading it to as many wide-spread oauth providers as possible is a smart move.

The thing is, he will not care nor probably even see that post.

It is not in the narcissist’s playbook to review replies.

He will continue to fire and forget messages on social platforms because 1) he gets attention 2) it doesn’t mean anything.

Genuinely, I believe that if you were a US ally and slandered him on social media he may make a passing comment, but he would slander you like it was originally his idea later about something completely different and the US would carry on doing what it was doing.

The US sees itself as S tier, and at maximum fellow NATO allies as B tier maybe.

Unless they kick the US out, invoke sanctions, attack, etc. he and they just don’t care. Social media is a tool to rile up people who can’t think objectively, not a place to discuss or retaliate.

I dislike this timeline too.

Well, I guess there was 1 PC for the whole family. Analogue modems would scream as they talked over wires. A lot. If you picked up a phone in the house, you would hear the scream of not just the modem, but the person using the internet to put it down.

A lot of people had their own homepages hosted on Geocities or Angelfire - which were like free-form expressions of your facebook profile. Utterly abusing HTML and GIFs.

And to communicate with your friends, you used IRC, MSN Messenger, ICQ or AIM. All of them, as some friends wouldn’t be on one or the other.

You searched for information using Alta Vista, Web Crawler, Yahoo!, Lycos or Ask Jeeves.

Your email address usually ended in @hotmail.com or @yahoo.com (and regional variations, like .de or .co.uk, etc.), BUT, you also had an email address from your ISP (so aol.com, freeserve.co.uk, free.fr, etc.) were really common.

Listening to music was different. You would search for MP3s (people would ‘rip’ songs from CDs into MP3 format and upload them) using free services like Napster (the OG), then WinMX, Limewire, eDonkey. and you would listen to them using an audio player like WInAmp (on the family PC). MP3 players (like the iPod or Zune) were just starting out I think, so you tended to get MP3s and then burn them to a CD so you could listen to them in your car, or in your portable CD player, or even your HiFi.

Streaming video wasn’t really a thing, as modems are too slow, but, you could download movies (it just took FOREVER) and they would almost always be the worst cam quality you could imagine and compressed as much as possible.

Using Linux/Unix was really a huge pain as most of the modems were actually Winmodems so none of the manufacturers would provide binaries or modules for anything other than Windows, so they were almost always reverse engineered - and it was just a pain.

I could probably ramble on for longer, but this feels like a good place to stop and say “get off my lawn”.

Probably a reference to there being more than just HTTP. There was protocols like Gopher and tech like Usenet which were kinda precursors to HTTP and the WWW for information sharing/reading/communicating.

Separate has A Rat in it.

Thought I was having a moment.

Internal thought occurred: You really are a grammar Nazi.

Is it? Seems fine to me, I’ve been using it as my default search engine for almost a decade.

You can use: noai.duckduckgo.com

The UK has RRP as an equivalent, but they address the problem differently really. MRP is stop price gauging I think, whereas RRP is there to incentivise retailers to offer discounts to lure more customers.

We also have co-op’s that run supermarkets and banks, but they compete against private companies.

I think Europe is fairly social in its services (healthcare, pensions, etc.).

Yeah, the username is submitted when a successful answer is put in. I’ll leave it like this for a couple of days, see if it gets a bit more engagement if that’s Ok.

I hope it works as expected, difficult to test without a test Lemmy instance.

Hopefully it introduces a level of discussion, I actually quite like looking at the way people get to the same answer via different means.

I should be able to introduce this for the other puzzles, I guess the timing is still a question though - like, it rotates at 00:00 UTC, so I try to stagger the submissions with an hour plus 13 mins, or 17 mins, etc. but I think that will still appear as a “block” of submissions for people coming online in Europe and NA.

I think I struggle to understand a little. Like, if Wordle is posted every day, we’re happy, but if Wordle and Connections is posted by NY Times every day we don’t think they should?

I’m not having a dig, I’m just trying to understand.

Is it because I use the same theme that you think they’re all very similar? Like, they are all maths-based, but they are different.

Does this look better?

If you use your Lemmy username it should @ you the next day as well.

Thoughts? (also, @'ing in Lemmy is not how I thought it would work).

Thank you for this.

I’ve got my thinking cap on.

Maybe allowing people to post their previous days result? Or maybe, a stopwatch counter (so you can post how quickly you did a puzzle)? Because they’re maths based it tends to be a single yes or no, rather than a continuous attempt at finding the answer.

I wonder, if I post every day, but if you use your lemmy username as your name on the game, I’ll include you in the post and your solution for the puzzle from the previous day (you can view yesterdays solutions on the puzzle itself)?

If it’s still not engaging with the above (hopefully I’ll find time this weekend to update), then I could stop the posts/combine them/lower it to weekly or similar.

I’m happy to spruce up the posts a bit, I just wanted to get the games visible so did the bare minimum in marketing I guess.

Sooo, I am the owner of the bot. It only posts to that 1 community, and it’s where most of the traffic the games get comes from.

The games themselves don’t really lean towards sharing your results, it’s more about checking yesterdays solutions to see how you did, so the comments would naturally be fairly low.

i was merely following the other daily posts and decided to automate it rather than do it manually every day.
