"And then we waited to see who, if anyone, would give a shit," she said.
MacFarlane concluded, "Our elegant approach didn't work, so we hired a Perl hacker to go dig up the personal details on all 38 accounts that had ever upvoted a Haskell post, and the only one we didn't know was Seth Briars.
This is the one that got me
The name was used casually before, but he officially changed it in 2021
Yup. If Steam wasn't around I'd have the joy of choosing between Epic, Origin, GOG (actually not bad but no official Linux client can be annoying), or GFWL (which would probably still be around in this situation)
Arch does tend to keep packages as close to upstream as possible, which can be both a good and bad thing. Sway not binding to graphical-session.target by default is a little strange for example. Other distros also save a first-time user a great deal of configuration for things they probably don't care about as well. Going through Fedora's install and finding out that disk encryption and SELinux were configured OOTB was very nice to see personally. On the other hand Arch's installation (w/o archinstall) has you choosing a bootloader, audio server, display manager, etc. Nothing arduous and I like it, but definitely not for everyone
This is all eliminated by spinoffs of course, but even there users have the option to run random scripts/AUR packages without vetting them. Also doesn't help that the most popular Arch-based distro for a while (Manjaro) was pretty flaky and generally incompatible with the AUR (despite saying otherwise), leading to many people saying "that's just Arch" and swearing off the parent project as well
Happened all the time over on r/androiddev. Small company brings on the wrong person/uses the wrong SDK/wrongfully fails an review and their account is then banned via "association", which then propagates down to countless other employees. Only way out is to hope and pray that a human sees the appeal or try and blow up online
Happened so often in fact that the subreddit even created several guides on how to avoid it. My favourite part is that even unpublished apps must be updated in perpetuity to abide by Google's ever changing requirements
Or this other occasion where viewers of one of the most popular YouTubers in the world were banned for typing in chat
Probably doesn't help that Reddit has spent years cultivating some of the most advertiser unfriendly content available (out of the top 100 visited sites). I doubt anyone's chomping at the bit to advertise on pages like r/jailbait, r/piracy, and r/fatpeoplehate. Even if the worst of the worst have been banned the overall "culture" can't be erased as quickly
For fun or to play around with transpilers?
Additionally if you're looking for it to start on boot without logging in, you might find the loginctl enable-linger command to be of use. Maybe along with a Restart=on-failure policy in the service file if this is for a headless unit or something
The back end is open source, but sometimes they've lagged years behind releasing the source code.
I think this is the more worrying part if true. The backend is licensed under the AGPL, so this would technically be a violation of their terms

Edit: For anyone else reading I looked into it a bit more and looks like the issue came to a head around 3 years ago, with this comment being made after a year of missing source code. The public repo has been pretty active since then, so the issue seems to be resolved
Depends
Clannad? Valid
After-Story?
I suppose it's to stop a critical mass of promoters commenting "and my axe" among themselves? I agree though it doesn't really feel right to encourage more low effort posts
They're talking about the Hogwarts game
An amendment to the popular expression, "All [personal] information should be free", I suppose
Me when I find out that it's illegal to sell your organs for profit
I'd assume a lot of people sell/trade as the next set rotation is coming around no? I'm not sure how card economy works in magic but in yugioh today's meta is tomorrow's budget, surely there's people that want to buy in play in non rotating formats
This is why I'm having trouble understanding why people are confused about the bill's purpose, especially in the context of the last dozen years or so. Allowing a political rival to maintain control over a platform like this is granting them soft power. Even if I agree that companies like Meta should be more heavily regulated (though not in this manner), I can see why they've put a bandaid on the issue given that there's a non-zero chance that TikTok's content has been actively in the past few years
Why single out TikTok and not Chinese nationals buying US real estate, driving up the cost of commercial and residential rents?
Heavily agree that this is equally problematic, but unfortunately it seems like the choice has already been made that real estate "investments" cannot be allowed to fail. It's the same reason why they aren't also targeting US-based companies that have been shown to have ties to foreign rivals, they're literally just playing politics. Sucks, but for now this at least opens the door for further regulation in the area
Wouldn't call it trash but personally after trying it a couple times it seemed like it took as long to config as neovim while also not being nearly as hackable (probably is more extensible though being a GUI). For that amount of time I'd rather use something with larger benefits like an IDE
If it's an external SSD I could see it being useful in order to keep native compatibility with Windows and MacOS (IIRC their other option would be FAT32 but I don't use a Windows machine so who knows)
It also encourages the vague rule-making and arbitrary/excessive enforcement so that power mods can farm points. All the things people love about the site!
Agreed, fzf (and similar fuzzy finders) have been a game-changer with regards to the way in which I navigate the shell. Add in a couple of one-liners and I'm never more than a second away from any nested directory
Here are some of the most used aliases in my configs if anyone would like to try it out
Note that they use fd and exa but they can easily be swapped out for find and ls if those aren't available on your system (which would allow for shorter aliases since they're the fzf defaults IIRC)
alias update-cdd='fd -Ha -td -d1 -E "\.config" -E "\.local" "^\." ~ > ~/.cddignore'
alias cdd='cd "$(fd -H -td --ignore-file ~/.cddignore . ~ | fzf --preview "exa -lF --no-permissions {}" --tiebreak=length,end,begin --preview-window=up,20%)"'
alias cdf='cd "$(fd -H -tf --ignore-file ~/.cddignore . ~ | fzf --preview "bat --style=header-filename,header-filesize -r 40: --color=always {}" --tiebreak=length,end,begin --preview-window=up,20% | xargs dirname)"'
Probably operates closer to corporate software licensing deals, i.e. "we might not catch you but if we do it's over"
