Submission + - Slashdot Alum Samzenpus's Fractured Veil Hits Kickstarter

CmdrTaco writes: Long time Slashdot readers remember Samzenpus,who posted over 17,000 stories here, sadly crushing my record in the process! What you might NOT know is that he was frequently the Dungeon Master for D&D campaigns played by the original Slashdot crew, and for the last few years he has been applying these skills with fellow Slashdot editorial alum Chris DiBona to a Survival game called Fractured Veil. It's set in a post apocalyptic Hawaii with a huge world based on real map data to explore, as well as careful balance between PVP & PVE. I figured a lot of our old friends would love to help them meet their kickstarter goal and then help us build bases and murder monsters! The game is turning into something pretty great and I'm excited to see it in the wild!

Comment Why celebrate or even tolerate censorship? (Score 0) 288

Even if you think the information being shared by Sky News is inaccurate, why not share more accurate information? Why should we applaud removing information we disagree with from the internet? Why is authoritarianism more important than the pursuit of knowledge, or even founding principles like free speech? Censorship is one of the greatest evils of our day.

The best antidote to bad speech is good speech, not censorship.

"Censoring the facts turns our children into idiots
They claim it's for our safety, I'll tell you what it really is
Removing information that empowers all the citizens
The truth doesn't damage points of view that are legitimate"

Where I live a two bed maisonette is £200-£220. Three bed is £350-450k. Four bed £500-600k. Weâ(TM)re still stuck with a mortgage being 4x your salary. Average wage of around £30k will only get you £120k, even in rough areas you wonâ(TM)t find a decent home that doesnâ(TM)t need any work done to it for less than that, on top of needing to raise at least 10% deposit.

So... it's compiled... like literally every other program every made?

What exactly makes compiled code special? EXEs are compiled code. The term "run-only" is stupid. You have to be able to read the thing to run it, and the computer can read bytes just fine, so... where's the problem?

And Apple's ARM processors are already very competitive with Intel's ultra-low power CPU that are used in devices in that form factor.

The first Apple Silicon processor for the MacBook/MacBook Air will more than likely be faster than the i9-10980HK, one of Intel's most powerful laptop CPUs. Then there are more features to accelerate tasks even more - I'm sure Apple will have a Neural Engine and transistors for audio and video processing, cryptography, etc etc.

PIN will get reused everywhere as well - phone, voicemail, tablet, house alarm, credit/debit card. You can tell the end user they can use a complex PIN with letters, numbers etc., they just end up reusing a password they use all over the place.

I'm all for U2F, keycards, 2FA/MFA etc.
