This is what I don't get

>The Aisuru DDoS botnet operates as a DDoS-for-hire service with restricted clientele; operators have reportedly implemented preventive measures to avoid attacking governmental, law enforcement, military, and other national security properties. Most observed Aisuru attacks to date appear to be related to online gaming.

So why? Like why would someone pay to take a game down? I see this all over reddit with different games but I just don't get the point. What's the benefit of taking down an online game for a couple of hours.

You have a Minecraft server. You generate money from it (selling VIP packages, et cetera). You could generate more money if you had more players. You can have more players if you consistently DDoS other more popular servers; the experience for these players will be horrible and they might give your server a chance.

> Bézier curves are great, but there are certain things they just can’t do. For example:

It would be nice if we had a better explanation of what is wrong with the Bézier curves in the example. I've put the spring Bézier example side by side with the javascript simulated one, had them both trigger at the same time on a keyboard press and I can barely notice a difference; one doesn't look better than the other to my eyes.

Community is also about communication. In fact, that's a primary aspect of a community.

Yeah, Mozilla introduced a bot that's stomping on things. Are they malicious? Twirling neatly waxed mustaches as they cackle gleefully as the little ants scurry about in a panic?

Or is this a case of humans doing what humans do: Screwing things up.

The first step is to open communications, and the most effective form of communication is face-to-face (the way we've evolved to do it).

Getting to the bottom of the issue in 1-1 communication with a representative of the community should be the common approach when complex problems arise, because then you can be sure that you're on the same wavelength before you do your mass communication with the rest of the community. Saves a TON of time and heartache and ill feelings.

As an unpaid volunteer to a multimillion dollar corporation that has just erased a huge collective volunteer effort, listing in writing the reasons I'm unhappy is already way too much effort.

Asking that same volunteer to hop on a video call is just insensitive. They're the one providing free work; if you care about solving the problem and not losing the volunteer force, you should go where they are (the forums) instead of asking them to come to you (video call). They probably don't want to take time out of their schedule to waste their time talking with a community rep. And they probably don't even want to do a voice/video call.

I've been playing with Suno lately (I'm an amateur/hobby musician, for context) and I've been making some tracks for my own enjoyment. I've shown it to friends and got mixed reactions.

Personally, I think it's still uncanny similar to these AI image gens with multiple hands and nonsense details in the background. You can one-shot a lot of passable stuff but the moment you want to put more effort into it (e.g. correct a word or two, slightly change the style of a section) the track gets really messy very fast.
