That said there's still some weirdness going on with hitboxes, it took me a while to finally get in the groove of it. If you're on Runelite there's tile packs now too which help, as well as turning off 117hd and enabling GPU instead. Fixes a lot of the lagginess.
Overall I think your assessment is fair, but I would like to see more intertwining with the rest of the game moving forward. Right now it seems like you level sailing to... Just level sailing. There's minimal to no benefit outside the skill to the rest of the game. With that said, I get that it's hard to incorporate old content into something new. I'm sure as they release more new content they can likely get things intertwined. Feels like fire making at the moment where there's only very niche benefits to leveling up the skill, to which it can otherwise be mostly ignored.

It will just route all traffic through the ad-blocking DNS on your entire network.

It's fantastic since it uses like no resources and will block a lot of ads on mobile that normally would sneak through due to no ad-blocker (Firefox mobile on Android notwithstanding).

Felt like it hit the nail on the head for a phenomenon I feel like I've been experiencing with a lot of more modern movies but couldn't quite articulate what felt off.

Comment on Moana (2026) | Official teaser in ~movies
dhcrazy333 Link ParentIncidentally, as an adult, just give me the fun kid animations. There is so much room for artistic leeway in choosing a style and making it your own.

The closer we get to "realistic" animation, the more I wonder, to what end? If you want live action, make it live action, make it really feel alive.
A lot of live action movies can't even do that right anymore unfortunately.

My social circle feels like an insulated bubble of people who understand what AI is, what it is actually useful for, and where it's being force fed for no apparent reason other than getting in on the "hype train". But then I go into the general public or other forums and there is a much more hyped up view of AI. I see people no longer using the phrase "Google it" but rather "GPT it" or talking about how they just asked Chat GPT about things, etc. A large portion of the population just uses what gets thrown in front of them until they get used to it.
The general public is wildly different from my general circle of closer interactions which makes me suspect they would be just throwing away a large potential user base if they just ignore AI.

I absolutely do not want AI in my browser, but if it can be an add-on I never use rather than something that's forcefed down my throat, well I'd take that instead if I can just ignore it. Here's hoping...
Regardless, Firefox will probably be my browser of choice moving forward so long as adblockers still work properly.

Comment on Looking for watch recommendations as my partners Apple Watch doesn't even last a day anymore in ~tech

- battery life has been amazing. I can use it for multiple days in a row without charging and it's still at 50%. I think it's supposed to get up to like a week or more straight of battery life.
- It has swimming tracking, but I've never used it so I can't speak to how it may compare with Apple Watch. I mostly use mine for indoor biking and ice hockey.
- Heart rate/sleep tracking is included with this watch and is easy accessible
- You can get notifications for emails/texts etc, and you can manage it by app. I specifically turned off email notifications because I was getting too many but I still get Discord/Text/What'sApp etc.
Overall I'm really liking this watch, it seems well built, has a great screen, battery life has been phenomenal. I would recommend comparing it to the Forerunner if you're considering Garmin.
One additional thing with the Garmin, depending on use case you may be able to get the purchase reimbursed through your HSA if you have one. I was able to get mine approved.

It cost them quite a few runs, and possibly the world series. That close play at the plate, a better secondary lead on the pitch, maybe running through instead of sliding, and he's safe, and they win it.
But otherwise yeah the Jays played a fairly complete series. Base running and probably timely clutch hitting were the two biggest issues.

Comment on Charlie Kirk's murder reveals a cultural sickness (Just Asking Questions podcast episode) in ~society

Can confirm. Had a cousin who's side of the family became pretty religious while our side was not so religious. Growing up they would constantly try to put us down about how they didn't approve of us or some of our actions. They would justify the prying and comments by saying "they cared about us and are just trying to save us". In their minds, they truly are doing the right thing by trying to get us to stop the "bad behavior" so we can go to heaven with them. They love us, they want us to make better choices so we can be saved.
From a certain point of view, I get it. You see someone you actually care about doing some destructive behavior, you want to intervene so they don't ruin their lives. But there's a world of difference between someone potentially ruining their life through let's say, hard drug use or gambling addiction, vs. reading Harry Potter or playing Pokemon.
Those who are in that religious mindset equate anything outside of that mindset as harmful and dangerous, and that's what they use to justify their actions. They also fail to understand the perspective from the opposite side. They never once consider how they would feel if someone from a different religious background started acting the same way towards them, belittling them, telling them their actions are terrible, etc. They would hand wave it off because in their mind they know with certainty that their worldview/religion is the correct one, so the person doing this to them is just misinformed. Basically a "it's ok when I do it because I'm actually right" situation.

Neither of us have watched it in years and just don't really care anymore, I think we just got bored of it and outgrew it.

If it was just marketed as a more advanced LLM, we wouldn't have the insane overhype that we have now and probably would see them implemented in more thoughtful and useful/impactful ways.
But of course marketing sells. I get why it was marketed that way, and I can't say I fault them for doing so, but it just annoys me beyond belief.

I do have some ideas of what I might want to try building this time around, they are all relatively "easy" though in the sense that they aren't complex machines that require interactions with in-game mechanics.
I'm just happy to be playing in a community :)

Comment on Denmark plans social media ban for under-15s – PM Mette Frederiksen links social media use to anxiety, depression and lack of concentration in ~tech

What I want to know is, when did it become the norm for cellphones to be usable during school? When I grew up most people had cell phones, but you were not allowed to have it on in class. Even as a teen, I understood that it was rude to be distracted on your phone while someone is trying to talk to you and teach you something.
Seems like a no-brainer that cell phones should not be allowed during the school day except in cases of emergency, and I've never understood how, when, or why that changed.

Have it recorded on my keyboard but apparently Macbook Airs no longer have aux-in capabilities and I will need to either get a dongle or move my keyboard over to my desktop which is annoying. Project for another day.
I'll try to upload anything I have so far when I can play around with the recording setup. It's fairly short at the moment and not sure where I may want to take the song into a longer direction or keep it as-is. Either way it has inspired me to get back into the improvisational mood on the piano!
On top of this, there's no "seasons" and old content generally stays relevant far into the future. I've heard other MMOs tend to release new content that immediately makes old best in slot items obsolete. I'm glad OSRS doesn't work like that.
