Multiplayer tactical shooter inspired by id tech 3 era, using Godot.

More movement than CS, less than quake

Focused on infiltration mode - one team stealing a briefcase back to base with the other on the defense

New comment by xelia in "Tell HN: Notion Desktop is monitoring your audio and network"

Yes! I maintain documentation relating to music production and want to make it public, while also ideally also accepting contributions (though I'm not sure how that'd look like).

It would be nice to have a way to have WIP be private until I publish the changes.

I self host docmost and love it, thank you for making it!

Will you consider making it publishable as a wiki? The current share feature is close but forces me to share a specific URL and live-edit public pages.

Ask HN: How did you adjust to working remote?

xelia — Sun, 14 Jul 2024 16:57:39 +0000

I’m a software engineer relocating to another country, which means I’ll be working fully remote instead of fully in office.

I love working from the office - getting coworkers attention easily, hallway conversations, socialization, more information I overhear and can use.

What are some strategies I can use to deal with the drawbacks of remote work? How did you do it?

Unfortunately the text is too small for me to comfortably read, and the website is incompatible with Safari’s Reader Mode.

xelia — Wed, 13 Dec 2023 13:59:42 +0000

I wonder if this can be optimized by letting GPT provide multiple instructions per screenshot instead of just one.

For example in the twitter screenshot, it could use just the one image.

Push notifications are incredibly useful, especially for as private a thing as messaging. “Just disable notifications” isn’t a real solution for almost anyone.

I’m not entirely sure what you’re alluding to - but yes, neither do corporations should be allowed unrestricted access to your personal data.

Why is that an issue when it’s the engine? It’s hard to argue this is anti competitive in any way when it comes to browser product choice.

Even in that country - if you’re a woman you need to know if you still have rights regarding bodily autonomy (e.g. abortion). If you’re queer you need to know if you’re allowed to dress a certain way (anti-drag laws) or express public affection, without being arrested.

I agree, and to mitigate this weakness I created a “Like Song” shortcut that adds the song to a Liked playlist, very similar to Spotify. The only weakness of AM that I couldn’t mitigate is remote controlling songs - Spotify is superior surprisingly so.
