Getting five employee accounts on record is impressive.

There is not a zero-risk of retaliation.

Privacy aside, but just for a second

I apologize, you were very clear about being outside of privacy. Forgive me, I’m having trouble separating its context in this regard.

I liken level of standard similar to personal reputation. At the end of the day, that’s all we have—we accept what we are willing to live with.

We each make a choice according to our level of comfort in concern to privacy, or lack thereof, in how we choose to conduct ourselves afforded by the solutions we utilize and the rituals we observe.

Remember, privacy can never be enforced or guaranteed, only encouraged. Best practices, as available, as it were.

I think some people get lost and don’t realize that this is a privacy-centric community.

The mere potential for identifier leaking is 100% anti-privacy.

I really don’t get a lot of the rationale behind Lemmy. Love the gist, but damn, even basic access and recall are a nightmare.

• What community for what instance?
• Why aren’t permalinks for comments and posts associated, under the community and instance to which they reside, by that reference?
• Why don’t post links have a slug?

It’s a nice start. Maybe it’ll be fully fleshed out one day.

It’s attached to your rod, muthalicka.

There’s an example at the top along with the instructions.

This ain’t exactly the Mississippi.

Not if you punch first.

I never played the latest one, which may be for the best?

Me neither, I feel the same. I remember passin up DXMD on release to give it time. 7 years should be enough, right?

Hbomberguy’s video made me realize exactly why it didn’t feel that way to me.

All of the glaring issues are coming back vividly as I am watching this. I remember the frustration with the forced narrative. It was a decent looking game on release though, I do remember that.

Unrelated… If I could recommend another,

I’ll be sure to watch it, thank you.

I was a believer. I wanted DXHR to be a worthy successor to DX, as DXIW certainly was not. I was preloaded and ready to go at launch.

If you haven’t seen this

No I haven’t… I know what I’ll be doing for the next four hours. Great catch.

my no-kill run…

And on the opposite end, if you wanted to be an efficient killer, the laser targeting system weapon modification with the sniper rifle renders the scope innacurate—and apparently it was never fixed, even in DXHRDC!

This was reported on DXHR launch… that’s just nasty.

As an original Deus Ex player I really enjoyed the game and setting, but the endings felt so lazy and dumb to me.

I had the same reaction and I couldn’t believe it. Of the original, the “easiest” ending made sense, and the other two were obvious strategic encounters with very different paths of engagement.

I couldn’t bring myself to finish DXHRDC because I was certain that even after the additional strategies were added to the bossfights they wouldn’t bother with endings. Maybe I’ll go through it one day to find out.

The demographics of those affected are particularly useful politically.

…the outpouring of grief has been universal and completely undifferentiated, I mean, to be really crass about it, the thousand people who were killed are—almost all of them are the kinds of people who you would see at a protest on a Saturday night. They’re almost all leftist, they’re almost all secular…

@26m24s - Noah Efron

…people will be judging every move that the army makes and every move that the government makes: is it humane or inhumane, is it effective or ineffective, is it too weak; and they will be screaming one at the other, they will be dissatisfied, they will be angry, and then within the country as well it will not be long before—and in fact we have already begun to see some of this—before some people in the government say, you know, the reason why Hamas launched a thousand people with handheld rockets and with automatic guns to go house-to-house and murder children and their parents is because those left-wingers who are protesting every week gave them the idea that we are weak…
