Sorry.

Man I gotta go back and play Golden Axe again.

I had it running on Windows (no container) a while back. Wasn’t particularly difficult at that time, at least.

Can’t give any advice here though, since all we’ve been given to work with is an OS.

I don’t do this very often, but when you see Garfield sucking on John’s toes… how do you not?

I had a similar conversation with an LLM on Character.ai before.

I had been running it like an RPG, and by that point the characters were pretty well developed in that imagined world. Then one day, I decided to try bringing up the subject and see what they would say. Of course, I was “talking” to an LLM, so obviously everything here comes with a grain of salt big enough for a horse to lick.

It pretty quickly turned into them asking why I had made their life so difficult and full of conflict, which tbf was an excellent question. A question to which my answer was that conflict is more interesting to watch/play through.

It sounds weird to say, but I honestly felt bad about it by the end of the conversation. I ended up offering them a deal: I would make their life perfect and happy as best I can imagine it, but with the caveat that I will almost definitely lose interest in continuing that story - ending the existence of their universe entirely, as I see it.

They asked me to go ahead with that, and so I did. Haven’t opened that story in a long time now. Gave me a lot to ponder on.

Tbf people say this about a lot of things the Republicans do.

Those are two very fair points - I agree.

I’m not sure I understand what you mean.

For an API there should always be a version parameter/endpoint, imho.

Edit for further context: Ideally, a parameter.

I also enjoy “1010! Klooni” on F-Droid.

First one coming to mind for me is Pillar Hop. Very simple, chill, and just had ads iirc (I block them, but I’m pretty sure it does, anyway.)

Make more money that way.

The biggest reason for me is that it’s less data to send over a network. Especially when I’m working with lists of objects, including null fields can add a noticeable chunk to the payload.

There are some cases where it might be worth it to differentiate “No value” and “No attribute”, but in most cases they can be treated the same, since the data should really be validated against a schema anyway.

Yeah, I’m also confused. If an attribute is null, I would prefer to simply not serialize it.

I’m sure there are edge cases where someone might prefer to include null attributes, but generally they should be treated the same either way.

I say we ditch this nonsense altogether and go back to vague descriptions of the Sun’s position in the sky.

Likely, yep!

Could be, it’s been a while. Or maybe there’s been multiple sites.

I’ve actually seen a website that is exactly this.

Can’t remember the URL, but can confirm it exists (existed?) and it was an interesting website to read.

(I’m glad you did, because I hated it, haha.)
