FYI I posted all of the Jon strips in !garfield@lemmy.world a while back, starting with this one:

Thanks, I’ll check it out!

I tried it and didn’t like it. Maybe I was expecting it to be more like Elder Scrolls games and it’s not; I haven’t played other games in the genre either. The combat felt clunky to me, though I’ve heard that it’s better to think of it as a rhythm game. I like dark fantasy, but didn’t quite connect with the worldbuilding either, maybe because it felt like a zombie game dressed up as fantasy. It’s also a minor thing, but was also obviously made for console and ported to PC so felt a little weird.

Reminds me of this short from a while back. It didn’t quite predict the focus on smaller, cheaper drones, but still pretty good:

This is also some good context about drones being the future of warfare, including in space. Star Wars having fighters duke it out with human pilots will almost certainly not be a thing:

As an artist? If so, do you have a link?

Yeah, turns out a lot of companies don’t really think about security, here’s a DEF CON talk where they find stuff that chokes on it:

This is probably the best explanation I’ve seen:

Turns out the blue zone studies have likely just identified hotspots for pension fraud:

The observation of individuals attaining remarkable ages, and their concentration into geographic sub-regions or ‘blue zones’, has generated considerable scientific interest. Proposed drivers of remarkable longevity include high vegetable intake, strong social connections, and genetic markers. Here, we reveal new predictors of remarkable longevity and ‘supercentenarian’ status. In the United States, supercentenarian status is predicted by the absence of vital registration. The state-specific introduction of birth certificates is associated with a 69-82% fall in the number of supercentenarian records. In Italy, England, and France, which have more uniform vital registration, remarkable longevity is instead predicted by poverty, low per capita incomes, shorter life expectancy, higher crime rates, worse health, higher deprivation, fewer 90+ year olds, and residence in remote, overseas, and colonial territories. In England and France, higher old-age poverty rates alone predict more than half of the regional variation in attaining a remarkable age. Only 18% of ‘exhaustively’ validated supercentenarians have a birth certificate, falling to zero percent in the USA, and supercentenarian birthdates are concentrated on days divisible by five: a pattern indicative of widespread fraud and error. Finally, the designated ‘blue zones’ of Sardinia, Okinawa, and Ikaria corresponded to regions with low incomes, low literacy, high crime rate and short life expectancy relative to their national average. As such, relative poverty and short lifespan constitute unexpected predictors of centenarian and supercentenarian status and support a primary role of fraud and error in generating remarkable human age records.
