I think it's pretty impressive they managed to do a soft KSP-style landing without an engine nozzle.

I don't like that all art is just "content." I can believe that the cost of creating "content" really is near-zero, but "content" isn't the kind of music I look for. I spend effort trying to appreciate the craft and understand it, so "content" kind of defeats the point.

They saw the wsb ape mentality and hope to leverage it.

Honestly, staring at a blank page for 30 seconds would be preferable to 30 seconds of ads.

You forgot the biggest concern that people have.

Remember that Meta's strategy has always been to buy out or kill competitors before they grow too big. This time, when the competitor is immune to normal methods, they're all so friendly and cooperative. Why the complete 180, did they suddenly turn good?

Is your mind changed?

Honestly I appreciate Apple engineers' sense of humor here

Sure, but that's assuming the logs contain your ip in the first place.

I knew about this on some level before, but the recent posts have given me a better understanding on how in some countries people need expensive third party software to pay their taxes.

If this encourages light, fast loading pages, I'm all for it.

No they don't. Skeletons aren't real.

The instance admin is working on migrating the server as we speak. It'll be back up sooner or later.

I do. I prefer not seeing the same posts every time, especially when they're mostly just memes.

for developers and customers

Ah yes, of course.

As much as T2 sucks, this is still probably a positive development.

I'd prefer if they just started with putting green on the streets.

Usually the news only concern the instance's users. If you want to find announcements, the community is often named either meta or main.

But maybe a common place for instance status announcements isn't such a bad idea.

Even apple's most io-limited macbook ever had a headphone jack. Dell is really trying to outperform them.

I think so too. The process of content creation will become more efficient. I hope it will allow companies to try new and weird things with less risk.

Epic also only bought it last year.

I never want to see this here, ever. The fact that anyone wants mass facial recognition is disturbing.

I wasn't too interested with what happens to reddit, but if this is the path they choose, I wish them a very fun streisand effect.

I see the reddit bots have started migrating

Y'know, I was just going to mention Fandom. I have no idea how well this will work for Wikipedia, but I know something like this can work great for games.

Fandom is straight up harmful to game communities, and I think federation makes a lot of sense with per-game / series / etc. instances.

I'll look at this a bit more later, quite interesting idea.

It's entirely up to the developers of the project. If there are premade binaries, it would be under releases.

You are not wrong. But this isn't even like proton, it's not for end users. It's intended for developer testing, so they can get an idea how well it runs on a mac, and then somehow be persuaded to do a proper mac port??

PCSX2 Emulator Disables Wayland Support By Default [Because the code was very broken]

A karma score encourages making poor quality meme posts and comments in large quantities to gain more fake internet points. It's easily abused; Reddit is full of karma farming bots.

No downvotes was also mentioned here, but I heavily disagree. Downvotes, in my opinion are for a large part a positive thing. Youtube hiding downvotes was a move towards a "good vibes only, no criticism allowed" type of environment. Remember the reaction when Ubisoft pushed some stupid NFTs there?

Downvotes allow users to express disapproval of content, even if it isn't strictly against the rules of the particular community. I believe there's a very clear intermediary between "good" content and something that's so bad it has to be removed by moderators. Ignoring it or having it erased by mods are both worse solutions.

Lemmy pretty much meets my ideal in this regard, it has downvotes and doesn't have a broken social credit system.

Edit: Expanded the comment quite a lot

No need, the picture shows it in english at the bottom.

Compatibility isn't perfect, but I have to ask, what does your library look like if so few games in it work?

It's not foss, unless they've changed the 'temporary licence' yet.

E: It is an awesome project and I really hope it takes off, but this isn't the best place to post it.

That also. I've been keeping an eye on this kind of technology for my one person projects.

I can't imagine that everyone in the company is like spez.

How in the hell can someone be offended for this?

I guess it makes their xboxes less special.

This was the thing some 10 or 15 years ago.

::: spoiler Its abilities are uncanny.

Edit: It got these right:

  • Klunk from ratchet 3
  • Ano Turtiainen, a local nutjob politician
  • Boris Johnson
  • Andrei Ulmeyda from Killer7
  • Pepsiman
  • Hammond from Dead Space
  • Crocomire from Super Metroid
  • Nick Knatterton
  • Mike Ehrmanwhatever from Breaking Bad
  • Sopsy, the owner of a local imageboard
  • Raikov from metal gear

I'm still able to consistently win with anything more obscure than this. :::

Same with removable batteries, headphone jack, etc.

It looks pretty good for if I were buying a new phone. It is expensive, but I really appreciate an open phone with a long lifetime. The only thing I have an issue with is that they chose to kill the jack and sell wireless earbuds instead.

Well, they've been doing this a lot. They have bought a massive amount of game studios over the years just to run out of money and close them.

I've seen this said a few times, and I agree that it is a valid reason.

But whoever is doing it like this out of preference has something very wrong with them.

Say I made a post to some specific subreddit from apollo. How does the app decide which lemmy community to use, on which instance? Or if I voted or made a comment, on which post on which community on which instance should it land?

I don’t think this is a serviceable idea.

Sonar is scary as hell.
