The open internet is so back. But also I'm very worried for my privacy :)

Happy to see Trenchbroom love :) I made a high school project using it with Godot and it was such a breeze even as someone who had never done Quake / HL / Source mapping before.

I got it from here: https://www.clearway.co.uk/news/how-many-cctv-cameras-are-th... - it seems to check out?

(I admit, this was just the first result on Google :))

London has a dozen cameras per person, totalling to almost 1 million cameras.

As an ancedote to, they recently trialled face recognition cameras in the area I work in.

Given that, why did the police not do anything when my friends phone was stolen?

In comparison, in the much smaller city of Cambridge, the police assigned an officer to the case and went and tracked down my friends' stolen airpods. In London I don't think they even lifted a finger!

If the west is going to go down the authoritarian route, I'd rather it actually worked. I think we have a more fundamental issue that no one is willing to address--because it's not profitable. Removing our privacy achieves nothing for citizens.

Cool! Is it based on KhiCAS for the CG50 (the one with the extremely confusing documentation)?

Also doesn't this pose a risk of being used in math exams? I remember hearing a kid in my high school trying to cheat through the aforementioned.

Is this the tool that they're using for the new round in Google interviews (in the US)?

I agree, I'm sorry but the github home page infuriates me to no end.

I ended up making a userscript to redirect github.com -> github.com/<user>/repos in the end :P

It's really a shame when I stumble across an old (8y+) reddit post from search results, and I see that the useful replies are either from [deleted] or [Removed by moderator]. :(

Unfortunately, this would actually catch shitheads and improve the country, so the UK would never do this.

A lot of banks in the UK have mobile-app-exclusive features / services. I imagine this is because of security, but it also makes little sense. If you don't have a smartphone it is about 5x harder to do anything online-banking related here. I remember when I went camping a bit ago my phone died and I was unable to unfreeze my card.

Also, cool username =)

I think it's a little dishonest to say they don't care. They made proton, they put out patches for their games on Linux fairly frequently.. in comparison to 80% of companies they go above and beyond.

I think this is just a symptom of Valve neglecting their (old and new) games as a whole.

> Left 4 Dead 2 has major frame pacing and stutter issues on the Native Build

Is this a common problem? I've never had it :P
