Microsoft really wants Local accounts gone after it erases its guide on how to create them
  • Recently set up my Win 11 gaming pc and despite being tech savvy, I couldn’t get around the requirement without googling. I needed to run a fucking command in order for the Windows installer to let me create an offline account. That’s just so scammy. Imagine paying money for Windows.

    What could Apple force app developers to do that would improve your iOS / macOS experience?
  • Force iOS / iPadOS devs to make their apps available on macOS. It’s pretty cool that you can run iPadOS apps natively on macOS but most devs simply don’t allow it.

    Sim game Life By You canceled after 3 early access delays
  • I only watched the announcement trailer and I remember thinking how incredibly bad it looked. Their artstyle was simply… off somehow

    These notifications are bundled together for some reason. So if I want to be notified when my subscriptions renew themselves, I have to also be notified of random games going on sale, too.
  • Yeah that’s horrible. I have a strict policy of turning off any notification that is not a direct message from a person to me or a reminder I set myself. If crap gets bundled like this, I turn it off altogether.

    When I used Tinder, I just checked the app every now and then and I remember people unmatching me again because I didn’t reply quickly enough. Online dating is so fucking toxic.

    no really how do we fix this?
  • To be fair I think DDG has improved marginally over the years while Google is simply shit now. I feel like spam sites are quite prevalent on Google but less so on DDG.

This appears to be one more layer on top of it. And surely they wouldn’t share that information with the pharmacy, right?

    own homepage to show basic info with a couple of images
  • If you wanna expand your site in the future, something like Kirby CMS might be great. It is paid but dev experience, community and loading speed of pages are much better that with something like Wordpress.

    Portable convenience [The Square Comics]
  • Yep exactly, a Magic Trackpad is my main input device. It’s great for design work where you often interact with canvases and might need to scroll in every direction. It’s also more comfortable to use for long time periods.

    Is there a way to read all of Trump's Truth Social posts without actually visiting the site?
  • It will inflate numbers for the investors though and might get this shit funded in the future. So, better not give them even the traffic if you can avoid it.

    Giving Windows total recall is a privacy minefield
  • Time Machine doesn’t use screenshots, it shows a folder at different states throughout time. The folders and files are fully interactive too. It’s much more akin to how git works.

    Giving Windows total recall is a privacy minefield
  • That’s pretty much a completely different feature though? It creates local backups. It respects passwords and encryption. It doesn’t take periodical screenshots of what you’re doing and reads their content to feed an LLM.

    What did you buy that improved your life?
  • A semi-professional portafilter espresso machine paired with a great grinder.

    I can make coffee at home that’s better than what’s being served in most cafés and I can just have that for breakfast every morning. Felt like quite the quality of life improvement.

  • A lot of these hateful beliefs are reinforced by these people’s filter bubbles. Forcing them to other places can improve the overall situation.

    What skill or talent took you longer than it should have to learn?
  • Yeah I agree. I learned the most when I just set my mind to accomplish something. This will actually get you to do real troubleshooting as well and not just checking where you failed the tutorial.

  • To be clear: I prefer to pay for things instead of having to see ads but 13€ / month!? For a meta product that has inherently user-hostile design patterns even without ads?

    Who does this appeal to?

    Some context: .exe is the executable format for Windows. It's fine that Valve is using some translation layer instead of doing a port of Counter Strike 2. This error does however suggest that they don't even test their games before releasing them on macOS.

    The first reply to a comment is always indented one unit too far to the right because that comment gets both the indentation and the line to the left of it. It makes the comment view look kinda messy and wrong.

    The first reply to a comment should probably only have the line next to it and not be indented futher to look correct.

    You can take a look at how voyager is handling it.
