Thanks! I'll look them up and give them a shot.
I agree. But also add in the movie industry that's been complete trash for a while now. Not to mention books. I'm not sure if we'll ever see another Harry Potter level book again, at least in our lifetimes.
My take is we've already left the golden ages of movies, music, and books and probably won't get another for an extremely long time.
Video games are going through the same downfall which streaming services brought. Physical media left the movie scene as a standard while ago, but video games took longer. Now it's going to be all streaming and subscriptions where you can never own anything.
Once that happens, enshittification will peak, companies won't be incentivized to make the games good anymore, standards tank, and people will forget how good things once were.
Holy crap, it took two seconds to type this into DDG
Obama won before and he was part black. Why would that be a problem now?
Sounds like you want PipeWire - not related to a specific distro.
Yep, I got a post deleted by a mod here who also is a mod on Reddit. I was criticizing Proton, but they removed it for "trolling". I messaged them explaining it was not trolling and asked politely for an explanation, but got no response.
Pretty sad and ironic that Proton needs to censor criticism like this.
I just want that popup tooltip thing to stop blocking the most important part of the UI when I delete a message in Proton Mail... That's something obvious and should take 15 minutes to half an hour of a decent dev's time.
I'm really appalled by how bad Proton's project management is.
OH SHIT... which one was Brazinni again?
So if it's not a bean, what is it? It's not the fruit, so is it the seed?
That being said, I can't trust MKBHD is not hallucinating either.
Could you remind me who introduced Citizens United?
Doesn't Fediverse mean "these applications can federate with each other"? How would you federate with Lemmy without ActivityPub?
If there are multiple protocols, then that defeats the entire purpose of a protocol. If Matrix and ActivityPub are in the Fediverse, then Facebook and Twitter should be, too.
Facebook can't talk with Twitter, so they aren't federated with each other. Same goes for ActivityPub and Matrix. Fediverse doesn't mean "has a federated protocol". It means "these applications are federated with each other" (from what I understand).
The Fediverse uses the ActivityPub protocol. This allows everything in it to communicate with each other. Lemmy can't communicate with Matrix since Matrix is a different protocol.
IMO he can contribute all he wants. His PRs will still have to go through someone else (i.e. the new maintainer / lead dev). I don't care if he adds new code. That's much appreciated.
Toxicity is more of an issue if you're the maintainer since you have control over the project.
AFAIK when you log in to Proton, you send them your password, they do the standard hashing and checking against the hash stored in their database, and if it matches them they let you log in by sending you a token of some sort.
If the your password is your encryption key, and if at some point Proton needs your plaintext password in order for you to log in, then doesn't that mean they still have a way to access your data? They could take the plaintext password and decrypt everything in your account without you knowing, right?
Previously, some doctors had to divide bills by 10 and submit 10 claims to get costs covered.
I know bike tires will lose pressure in colder seasons because the air temp causes the pressure to drop, but is the inverse true? Does bike tire pressure go up in summer due to heat?
If so, do I need to deflate the tires a bit in summer? Do bike tires ever explode because of a temperature change?
Not with their end product - the powder itself is excellent. But every little packet is plastic, and doesn't have to be. The world has such a serious problem with plastics, and for a lot of products it's kind of necessary, but this is not one of them.
Restaurants have had the same size single serving packets for sugar, salt, and pepper for decades now and those are paper, which is much more environmentally friendly. It's even better for usability! With paper, I don't need to go find my scissors like I do for TWW's plastic packets.
I asked TWW if they would consider using paper instead, but got a generic reply that they'll bring it up, but evidently nothing has been done about this.
Is anyone else as disappointed as I am with their use of plastic packets? I care a lot about having clean water for my coffee, and I care just as much about not polluting the rest of the world because of it.
This might seem obviously "yes" at first, but consider a method like foo.debugRepr() which outputs the string FOO and has documentation which says it is meant only to be used for logging / debugging. Then you make a new release of your library and want to update the debug representation to be **FOO**.
Based on the semantics of debugRepr() I would argue that this is NOT a breaking change even though it is returning a different value, because it should only affect logging. However, if someone relies on this and uses it the wrong way, it will break their code.
What do you think? Is this a breaking change or not?
I haven't played any Baldur's Gate games before but I've heard so much about this game that I'm going to buy it.
However, before I start, I always wonder about this: some games allow you to unlock any weapon at some point in the game, and if you miss one in some quest you can always go back. If you accidentally sell one you can buy it back or forge a new one again, or have it respawn. If you want some other class you can switch later.
Other games are not like that, and if you screw up or aren't aware of [full in the blank] then you can't unlock something.
What's the story with BG3? Do I need to be careful and plan before going on missions?
Or is this just a coincidence? Any other elements with the symbol as the full word?
