Ban on accentuated letters in password
!Friendica Developers What was the reasoning behind banning accentuated letters in password? Someone posted a GitHub issue questioning the restrictions and while rude, they had a point. -

@CapritiaJH This is a vast question, but on the whole I don't think we are very intelligent. In the lapse of a geological sneeze, we have managed to make our environment much worse four ourselves than how we found it, and that's even going into the massive economic inequalities that makes the wants of the few fulfilled by the misery of many.
We are able to reason, mostly to reason away structural problems, but intelligent? Doubtful. -

@CapritiaJH I do think I’m as qualified as anyone else to judge because there is no mysterious designer with hidden intent I could be ignorant of and therefore wrong about my judgement.
Evolution is a blunt design instrument, very likely to settle for local maximas, with no overarching goals. This is also why its production feels both alien and amazing to us goal-oriented individuals because we get lost in the “why?”, a question that plays absolutely no part in a process which time scale also dwarfs us.
However my original post was mostly a jab at religious people trying to appropriate scientific lingo in absence of actual evidence. Please don’t take it too seriously. -

With all the trips I need to make to collect purchased bins and to the post office to ship orders, this #LEGO hobby of mine is getting me out of the house way more than the name could have implied. -

Yunohost install problems
!Friendica Admins♲ @joao@social.pinheirodeabrantes.pt: @hypolite
Hi Hypolite!
I’ve been trying to run my own Friendica server but I’m facing some issues… I’m using YunoHost.
After the installation I face these issues:- I can’t connect with anyone, no matter which protocol they are using;
- I can’t import any ActivityPub contacts;
- My little server seems to be living in the middle of the Ocean, unreachable in an isolated island!

@Michael Vogel Unfortunately not. In our shared line of work, it's more likely though. -

@scriptwelder I just have a couple small suggestions to streamline the game: new cards should be added to the discard pile, not the drawing pile. It's happened to me several times that I completed a project with an empty draw pile, which made me draw the couple new cards, delaying the shuffle of the discard pile.
Additionally, or alternatively with the previous suggestion, the discard pile should be reshuffled immediately once the drawing pile is exhausted, allowing the player to always draw 5 cards at the beginning of their turn.
Otherwise, the game ran flawlessly, it was fun and strategic, the art is gorgeous and the historical texts are very interesting (to me anyway). Congratulations! -

I've recently shared on here that running water and sewers were my favorite engineering feats including because we now take them for absolute granted nowadays. But it hasn't always been the case, and I just had a lot of fun managing a Polish city's water supply from the XVth century into the XXth thanks to @scriptwelder . Check out Waterworks!

#MiniReview #VideoGames Sunless Skies (2019) is the direct sequel to Sunless Sea (2015) taking place in Failbetter Games's gothic horror Fallen London universe. And exactly as its predecessor, it's very well written and eventually very tedious. -

None of the “Feel old now?” kind of social media posts have affected me so far. At first I thought it was a good thing for me not to be negatively affected by them, but these days I’m mostly missing the human relatability of these memes. -

#MiniReview After 8 hours, I finished Titanfall 2 (2016) single-player campaign and it was very, very good, as @Bean!_ advertised. I tried to find a multiplayer cooperative Frontier Defense game but I couldn't keep a connection to the server before actually finding a game. I'm sad there's no local bot match but overall I can't complain.

The Twitter breach doesn’t contain passwords but it does link username, email and especially mobile phone numbers, so the best (only?) course of action to protect your account is to disable SMS (phone-based) 2FA and enable TOTP (app-based) 2FA. ♲ @SeamusBlackley@twitter.com: It’s real.

A man gets a date with a female clown. He picks her up at the circus, they have a lovely dinner, then they drive to a secluded area when they have their affair. The car squeaks, the windows fog up, the whole shebang. Once done, they drive back to the circus, and out of the car emerges the female clown, and another clown, and another clown, and another clown, and another clown, and another clown...

@syls The game itself has had a few subtle biases (fixed since) but nothing as concerning as what he ended saying privately. -

@syls Yes you may, although I'm familiar enough with the game that I was part of the official forum during the Kickstarter and made the first version of the Rimworld website managing the rewards. I took my distances with the creator once he started spewing men's rights bullshit though.
