@troodon ,,y'know i should've probably made it clearer that i was intending to ask you the question
so i shall ping you again because i don't know who else to ask anymore, and hope i can at least comprehend whatever your answer shall be (and with some luck it might even help?)

@troodon hello again, might as well hook onto this thread before vulpine.club shuts down
i think i'm less self-deprecative now so no more "do i deserve to be a dragon"
however i've still no clue how to be one ("just do it" provides no information but it's a frustratingly common response) and i'm struggling to find people who get what i mean so hi!
(i have notes at https://cohost.org/hecko/post/2089141-notes-on-quest-for but you already know the 2 bold ones so no need to read them)

@lotte now i wonder how one could design a system that avoids that
i don't think it's possible to limit the range because after adding a number 2ⁿ times there must necessarily be at least n digits that have been affected
could still limit amount of bits changed per addition though
gray coding solves it for incrementing but that's about it

@SuricrasiaOnline not sure if this counts but: rite a bunch of digits that feel somewhat random, split them into a few equally-sized groups, add all the first digits together and take the last digit of the sum (aka modulo 10) and that's your first random digit; then all the second, third etc
(originally i thought to write them in rows instead of splitting into groups after the fact, but with a single line one's less likely to introduce bias i think)

@iska@mstdn.starnix.network please note the subtitle

Best part? You don't need to have installed Genshin Impact.

it's not the user who consented, it's microsoft who did it on their behalf by signing it
also it seems to bypass uac too according to the table at the bottom of this page https://www.trendmicro.com/en_us/research/22/h/ransomware-actor-abuses-genshin-impact-anti-cheat-driver-to-kill-antivirus.html

@fluffy @bluestarultor right on the money in the case of glitch-soc (mastodon fork with gimmicks), bluestar's post shows up with underscores and a proper markdown-created post has html in it
