Aggy

If they ban the right creator, I wonder if a bunch of mods will start breaking similar to that guy who removed his packages from npm, breaking everything

Everyone here seems to think this'll be another nail in their coffin. But I'm not sure. As far as I know, they're the only steaming platform that's actually profitable. Plus any current users of that plan are getting grandfathered in, so they're just removing the option for new people which I think is pretty normal for services to do.

Only they know how many people are on the 720p plan. And I'd bet they've run the numbers to know that they'll make more revenue from new users who sign up for the higher tier than the revenue lost from users no longer being able to select this plan.

God I need an app for this. Something where I can just scan the bar code and it'll tell me the parent company

The article says climbing and walking are both accepted.

Oh how I miss RiF...

I use them. I've found the speeds to be quite acceptable, plenty fast enough to play video games and download movies.

I'll edit this comment when I get to my computer to link to a great article about this and a history of companies effectively killing federated services .

Edit: article here https://ploum.net/2023-06-23-how-to-kill-decentralised-networks.html

But the main issue isn't the data. It's that when 99% of the users are coming through a company, they have too much power when it comes to updates. Meta can effectively control how the fediverse grows. And if they decided to defederate it's the normal Lemmy and kbin users who are forced to use meta services to keep in contact with the same people

Good to hear! I love that the path of exile community did similar.

"It is just 0.001 percent of the amount Ocasio-Cortez and the rest of the DSA slate (save Rashida Tlaib) gave to the arms manufacturers to provide Ukrainian fascists with missiles, bombs, artillery shells and guns for a war against Russia that poses the danger of nuclear catastrophe."

Is the author arguing that because Russia has nuclear capabilities Ukraine deserves no military support?

I often stop at the headline because reading the whole article will make me depressed.

About to get started on my new bed frame to replace the one I have that was built with pocket screws.

I think consolidation creates many issues even if it isn't a full monopoly right now. Like making it easier for that full monopoly to show up later.

Chained Echoes, had an absolute blast. I love that health is reset after every fight. The slow lose of life on the way to a boss sucks.

I have the same experience. At my last company they only used Google meet so I had chrome on my computer just for meetings and nothing else.

Some people say they were born in the wrong decade. Today I learned I was born in the wrong century.

Thank you for translating. I use their service and am happy I don't need to make any changes.

I'd love to switch, but my laptop makes that quite hard and the computer still has years in it before I probably need to think about replacing it.

I've got an asus rog and sometimes need the backlight on the keyboard. As far as I could tell, no one had figured out how to do it without the windows only asus made software.

I'll be happy when the leadership is gone. So many fucked things happened under their watch. The over watch player being fired then rehired because they said free Hong Kong. Or the announcers who were fired because they were on screen when the player said something. The pile of sexual harassment cases that blizzard settled. Then the obvious intense money grab that their games have become.

Linux on the WAM show recently talked about how much he loved his foldable phone. I'd love to try one out myself but I'm with you on price. $1800 for a phone is way too much. That's a months rent for something I'd be terrified to drop or get stolen

I started to learn some of that during the pandemic. With a good square, circular saw, and drill you can get started. I've gotten into building some relatively simple furniture now and am basically just using those tools still.

I'm doing pretty similar. I now only go to Reddit as a logged out lurker for the path of exile subs. Too much info is dropped there that I just don't see anywhere else.

I feel like AI being the reason doesn't hold up particularly well from a technical standpoint. From my searching, web-scraping is completely legal. It'd be slower, but a massive dataset is still very collectable.

Plus building a web-scraper is so easy now. Funny enough, generative AI like chat gpt can get you like 95% of the way there in just a few minutes.

Though, none of the reasons they've stated so far seem to hold up to scrutiny.

The main reason why I prefer to take the time to write the commands is so I can save a note of what commands I ran to get it working. Being able to say tthese are the commands" is much easier when I'm either helping someone repeat my work or auditing to figure out what I broke

I wonder if it's the cost of data processing the inputs on servers. The ongoing costs of having software handle it on the client machine is close to $0.

Though it feels like democratizing the checks could work. Like, everyone within a match together is checked by everyone else in real time since they're all handling the objects moving around anyways.

Though there are probably many good reasons why that doesn't work or is extremely hard to implement consistently. The idea just came to me

Oh, I don't need the keyboard to be pretty. Just lit up at all which seems to be effective locked by asus.

When I tried, I had put Ubuntu on it. That process seemed to go pretty good except the keyboard. Even got the WiFi working just fine. I may give fedora a try, but I'm way too lazy to switch back and forth between os's depending on how dark the room I'm in is.

Oh no, the lights were just off. I never change it anyways. I'm not one to care about making the keyboard do anything dynamic.

I ran into the same issue when I uninstall the bloatware from asus in windows.

Honestly, asus just is a huge pain here and I'll definitely be avoiding them in the future.

Could you share a link or explain further? I've had no idea but don't pay all that much attention to mobile in general.

I did similar. Patches and gum. I was vaping between 5 and 10 ml of 18mg/ml at the end.

I followed the patch program, but during the first phase I slowed down how much gum I would chew. By the time I got to phase 2, I was gum free.

Comic code, I even paid for it. I find in easier to read. Maybe I'm dyslexic but have never been diagnosed or anything

Man, I loved that game and played the hell out of it when I first got it. The music is just so damn good that I still listen to it despite not playing for so many years.

After reading your comment I realized I didn't know there was a reputation mechanic and what boost even does. Is there a faq somewhere for this type of thing?

I'm not OP, but I use an Xbox one controller.

The newer ones just use Bluetooth and these days my primary gaming computer is a laptop. Works fantastic, just plug and play really.

I'm wouldn't even spending a 1/3 of my income on that 3k rent. A programmer can very much afford to live in NYC quite comfortably while still saving for the future.

Pikman 3 Deluxe

It's been fun, beat the main story. It's really short though which is kinda disappointing. Realized that if I had a friend the co-op would probably be a blast

Tor?

I don't think that's what they meant. I'm pretty sure it was a reference to twitter limiting the number of posts a user can see.

Though it seems google is going to limit the number of videos someone can see if they have an adblocker installed.

It's not regular typing. It's primarily using the f-keys and numbers. Particularly for functions in my IDE.

Most of the time I'm using an external monitor and keyboard, so get very little practice on the built in one except when it's in less than ideal situations like flying.

When I get my next laptop, I'll be keeping Linux capabilities in mind. But that's years away. I'm not even sure where to start with reverse engineering the hardware, and also don't see myself spending months of my free time to make it work. I don't have that much free time and there are too many other things I'd like to be using that time for.

What does MAP stand for? I'm a bit wary to use a web search to look it up

Upstate commutes can definitely be rough. But it isn't the only 'affordable' places. Getting towards the end of subway lines in Brooklyn and Queens can be relatively affordable.

I live in a 3 bedroom in Queens with a 3k rent and only 5 minute walk to the M. I don't commute but my partner does and it isn't too bad. There were other 3 bedrooms off the L we looked at this summer that would have been a much faster commute and some where down at like 2800.
