Oh cool, Lemmy automatically obfuscates your password. All I see is *************!

Client: "Can you switch these two colours, you have 1 minute to fix it or you're fired!"

With the current rate of enshitification, once a day may not be enough.

Hey, my setup works for me! Just add an option to enable CPU overheating in the next update!

I would have taken a deep dive into docker and containerised pretty much everything.

I wonder how this interacts with tiling window managers...

Borg has worked well for me. Also supports compression, encryption and deduplication.

Recently finished zero dawn on PC and really enjoyed it. Hopefully this lives up to it's predecessor!

You didn't unmount your ventoy... uh oh!

To be fair, they don't control it and that is the issue

I doubt they actually do care; I reckon it is just an excuse.

We all know there isn't going to be a steam deck 3. Best we can offer is a steam deck 2 episode 2.

I only really use them with the keyboard, desktop mode or any game that uses mouse emulation.

I like Ardour. Unfa on YouTube made a great tutorial on how to use it.

Here are my two cents as an outsider looking in. I spend ~15-30 mins a day on Lemmy (usually while doing other things), so I see a decent amount of content but I am not at the leading edge of posts. When I look at posts, I rarely, if ever see spam. For the most part there is civil conversations and those that attempt to derail them are downvoted and, in some cases, banned.

Does this mean that moderation isn't a problem? No, I am but one user. However, it does indicate it is not a chronic issue. Personally I would like to see you guys refederate, as that could only increase the quality of discussions throughout the fediverse.

Oh no! Anyway...

Honestly, I think biting the bullet and trying your hand at coding will be worth your time. Visual scripting typically fall into two camps: code but it is visual (in this case it is just slower, more cumbersome and harder to read) or limiting (this may be fine depending on your needs, but you may also outgrow it). A middleground could be coding where the vast majority is done for you. For example in Godot, there are many nodes that are fully built and just need your custom settings. There are even freely available nodes in the asset store if you need more. Then, if you need some behaviour that does not yet exist, you just code that little part, which will be a great learning experience in of itself.

My biggest tip though, regardless of the approach you take, is keep it simple. Your first game should be ridiculously simple. For example, the first game I made was a 2d scroller spaceship shooter where there were only asteroids as "enemies". I could then add onto that to test my coding skills, and eventually it was fairly fun, even if it had simple roots.

They aren't demanding a cost per purchase, they are demanding a cost per install. The abuses this could lead to are widespread and could easily lead to many bankruptcies.

This is not a proof as you start with the answer, albeit disguised as a known truth. Here is a real proof. Start by assigning the recurring decimal a variable.

x = 0.9999...

Now calculate 10 times this by shifting the decimal place.

10x = 9.9999...

You can then subtract the second equation from the first. Note that all the digits after the decimal cancel out, leaving us with the following.

9x = 9
x = 1

Therefore, 0.9999... = 1. Infinity does weird things!

Option 4: levy existing tools such as gpg and git using something like pass. That way, you are keeping things simple but it requires more technical knowledge. Depending on your threat model, you may want to invest in a hardware security key such as a yubikey which works well with both gpg and ssh.

Fusion is effectively renewable. Use a small portion of energy to do electrolysis and you got your fuel. We won't be running out of water any time soon.

If you have any sticking points, let me know, or post in the most popular Godot community and myself and other experienced peers will be more than happy to help!

Not really a hot take. Why do you think most dynamic languages have the option to tack on static typing?

When "soon" comes, take a look at Godot. You won't be screwed by them because it is FLOSS. Have fun!

I can confirm that the cat is indeed not a number!

I would never do that?

It can't double the dBs. It will only add 3 as dBs are a log scale and +/-3dBs is double/half.

If you have ever seen a police interregation, you may notice the detectives ask a question and then, after either no answer or insufficient answer, they will just look at the suspect expectantly. This is done to put phsycological pressure on the suspect to answer the question. Given this info, I would say so, at least in a face to face situation.

Online, I am not so sure. How many posts did you scroll past in the last week on Lemmy that ask a question that you did not answer? How many did you answer? Even if you answered most, you would be in the minority, as if you were not, we would expect far higher engagement rates on posts.

It was pretty accurate though.

That is the best hexbear emote I have seen to date!

Sundered, specifically eldritch edition. It is a great metroidvania with an eldritch twist!

I used to have a similar setup but had it stream directly into MPV using the ytdl hook. Do you have it download the videos into a cache automatically and then load from file later and if so, how did you set that up?

In general I like it, but I'm not a fan of the monospace font used for the server names.

Stop giving them ideas!

Sounds like something you are using to manage your packages to me...

I don't really see how Elden Ring is a western, but I can recommend rdr2 or call of juarez gunslinger if you prefer something less serious.
