The update also introduces Steam Achievement Sets, a feature we covered earlier that allows developers to organize achievements into separate groups for base games, DLCs and seasonal content.

Are gamers really interested in achievements? I almost never see anyone discuss video game achievements. To me, achievements are mostly distracting and cringe, with their pop-up notifications and poor attempts at being witty. A transparent attempt to force engagement and replay value.

Just a few years ago, political activists demanded the renaming of several established concepts within the field of software engineering, and everyone just fell in line like absolute slaves. I have never before seen such pitiful conformism, but his is just how people work, I guess.

Submission + - SourceHut changes terms of service limiting LLM use (sourcehut.org)

Submitted by bjoast
bjoast writes: The SourceHut Git hosting provider recently changed its terms of service to limit how users may make of use of LLMs in their work, citing resource constraints and ethical concerns. From the the new terms of service:

The new terms of service, which will go into effect for new projects after the usual two week notice period (i.e. September 10th), will now include the following under the list of prohibited content:

  • original content written with or which facilitates the use of LLMs (large language models) or other generative AI technologies

The use of LLMs or other generative AI tools to produce or assist with the production of source code, assets, tickets, emails, and so on, will no longer be permitted on SourceHut once these terms take effect. As with our other policy changes, the intention is to roll this out slowly and thoughtfully. Each possible violation will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis and we are open to making exceptions.

hidden encrypted VeraCrypt volume

Any random data on a partition is a suspected holder of hidden volumes. Even in cases where there are no hidden volumes, enjoy trying to convince border police of that while they're holding you indefinitely. This is just a friendly reminder that random data and plausible deniability do not mix. Holding random data can be a major risk if that is all you have and no ability to prove otherwise. Depending on who you are and where you're traveling, transparency may be the safest option.
