Is it possible (it appears to be) that the data for rolling stone album “weeks on chart” metric includes weeks outside of your sample range as well?
I could be wrong, but it looks like by counting weeks on top, this graph is comparing popularity from date the first album on the lost charted to 2020 vs just 2003-2020
For me - I have a problem where people stop joining after a certain amount of time. Fresh start? People join up instantly, but by the time we get to the 3rd mission, if someone drops there’s a 90% chance that seat never gets refilled, SOS or not.
I followed a Jaime Oliver recipe for curry, which started with grating onion, ginger and garlic. I liked the curry, but grating an onion is a miserable job. He said that technique unlocked the onion’s ‘sweetness’. How much difference do you think I’d notice if I used a food processor?
I use Aegis as my 2fa. Today on new token creation I observed that there’s hash function set to SHA-1, later checked all my tokens and the result is same type of encryption used for all. So I have edited all my tokens to SHA-256 as a result my totp doesn’t authenticate. Do I have to rescan my tokens for updating to SHA-256...
capture the generated codes and time of input in some way, then brute force hashes until they generate one that produces the correct codes at x time
Given a TOTP key is usually at least 18 characters for a 6-digit code, having only one data point sticks you with something on the order of 10^28 possible keys for a given singular code (way more if case sensitive). You’d need to be regularly intercepting TOTP codes to brute force your way to the right key, and even then it’d only be valid for a single site. At that point it probably means you’ve fully compromised the connecting device or server, at which point, why do you even need the TOTP again?
Hi! I recently discovered a couple eco-friendly apps to try out. But, I’m also wondering if there are any eco-friendly social networks out there? I haven’t had much luck in my search, maybe people here have heard something? Here are the apps I discovered:...
To elaborate - Ecosia is basically just a frontend for Bing. They split the revenue from advertisements with Bing, and donate a portion of their share to a variety is charities to support tree planting initiatives
It looks like the most recent month’s revenue split was low on trees (16.6%), but looking back at previous months they tend to average in the 25% to projects range. I wouldn’t be surprised if the increase in March advertising spending was all Earth Month related.
If you don’t mind Bing, and you don’t mind ads, Ecosia is a fantastic way to make a little impact every day with something you’d be doing anyways. If you do mind those things, then consider donating to one or more of the charities Ecosia supports, because at minimum they have a better project vetting budget than I do.

Matt Smith’s character in HOTD is actually The Eleventh Doctor, during his several hundred year run off screen. He spends much of GoT working to remember where he left the TARDIS, so that he could ferry the plot along in S6+
YIKES, that’s probably not the article I would reference when trying to introduce people to the social cost of carbon - it’s full on fossil fuel industry propaganda, you may want to give it a read.
Also, the $200/t is an estimate of the societal cost of emitting carbon, not the cost of avoiding or removing carbon. There’s plenty of ways avoidance/offsets/removal programs that can decrease global emissions for a fraction of that price - it just sets the upper end of what is (for better or worse) a “good deal” for the economy. I.e., if it costs more than $200/t to avoid emitting, it’s better for the economy to just let the planet burn.
Agreed that today’s carbon “offsets” are cheap because they’re garbage, and good offsets are and should be more expensive, but they don’t have to be $200/ton to be effective, they just have to be under that much in order to be better than dealing with their consequences.
The refunds may have hurt, but what hurt more was the fact that in the last week HD2 went from #1/2 on the Steam global top sellers to #11. The big red “Overwhelmingly Negative” next to a title is a huge turnoff to new buyers.
Some executive somewhere has a chart showing daily sales numbers and watched them fall off a cliff in the last week.
Just a shoutout to whoever is just reading the clusterfuck of a title and down voting, the whole article is worth a read. You can even come back and rage post about the Editor-In-Chief of the Verge making posts with AI generated content.
Honestly I’m more annoyed by the rootkit “anti-cheat” the game uses, than this Sony action. It’s easy enough to make a burner email account for Sony, and for better or worse, I’m not in one of the countries impacted.
They DEFINITELY need to refund all players that are from newly blocked countries - anything short of a full refund is unacceptable, but it’s not like people have cared that PSN is unavailable in Nigeria before this point.
All that said, I love seeing the community putting Sony’s feet on the fire for implementing even mildly anti-consumer BS. I just wish the outrage was more consistent
But lets be honest, even Duck Duck Go is better than Google these days.
I hate to say it, because I love their privacy policy, but it we’re being honest, it’s not. DDG mostly uses Bing, and I struggle to find what I’m after on that engine. I have better results with Brave search, who now run their own index (but their tech bro CEO leaves me nervous at every turn)
