World in conflict is so much fun. That form of control dating back from the ground control series feel so good.

Solid info there, thank you.

I’m not sure I understand what you are saying. What part of the OS should managed the packages? The creators aka. Microsoft/Linux foundation/Apple/Google, the distributor, or a kernel module? What about cross platform package managers like Nuget, gradle, npm?

What? Surely seeing something popping up on steam and buying it happens far more than someone spontaneously buying a game in a store when walking around town/ a mall.

Maybe I’m a recluse, but I can’t remember last time I went into a store that stocks a meaningful amount of games other than second hand shops. Are physical games really that large of a margin anymore?

Yes. Pedantically (as if this is a real language to begin with) it would be “Trick AND NOT Treat”.

One of my favorite Let’s Play games. I tried to play it myself for 5 minutes before hard noping out. I’ve become a bit braver since my teens, so maybe I should give it a shot myself some day.

But it’s amazing to see just how far you can push HL’s engine.

I see it as it’s easy to self host. But I’m not skilled nor rich enough to guarantee the availability of it. I don’t want to be stuck on a holiday without my passwords because my server back home died from black out or what have you.

I pay for bitwarden and the proton mail package to keep the password management market a bit more competitive and it actually works out cheaper. It would be nice to have protons anonymous emails built in, but I can live with it.

But I might have to reconsider if Bitwarden is going a different direction that what I’m paying for.

Oh stop it with this crackpot drivel.

You sound more confident than you maybe should :P

I think they mean no consequences as in friends and family won’t have any upsetting reaction, work will still be the same, and so on. Like picking male or female in a game, it rarely matters what you pick, the game just rolls with it.

Fixed :)

Depends on where you live. With my tariff I get paid to use energy during negative price periods.

Edit: typo.

You will still have private/public sections, interfaces (unless you class them as inheritance), classes and instances, the SOLID principles, composition over inheritance. OOP is a lot more than just large family trees of inheritance, a way of thinking that’s been moved away from for a long time.

Mm yes, reddit started with out with tens of thousands of users over night.

I think the situation here on lemmy is pretty comparable to early reddit. People forget it started out as mostly a nerdy programmer centric site as well, and then grew from there. It’s a bit jarring to see people here insisting on artificially creating communities and pushing/guiliting people into posting more just to bring the numbers up. “the narwhal bacon’s at midnight” (although it was always cringe) started because reddit was a niche site less known than 4chan to begin with, so it was just a nonsensical dog whistle.

Do I miss the focused subreddits around specific topics? Sure, but I also think they will come naturally with time if lemmy survives just as they did with reddit. And the whole reason we’re here today to begin with is because of an unsatiable hunger for growth.

They could also punish false claims. Currently the copyright holders (and not even that, just something that might vaguely sound like your stuff) can automatically send out strikes for any match in the system. The burden to prove it’s fair use goes to YouTube channel, and if it’s found to not be copyright infringement nothing happens to the fraudulent claimer.

A big step would be to discourage the copyright holders from shooting from the hip.

Who are these “they” that has admitted it’s a bad law?

It’s one of the best recent pieces of privacy legeslation. It’s not the EU’s fault that websites are scumbags insisting on making life difficult for people.

And then plug those values into a image generation service to give users a visually intuitive way to see if there’s cooffe or not!

I personally swapped over to Proton Mail recently. Exporting over all saved email, groups and labels from Gmail was easy. I love it so far, it’s very similar to how Gmail works. I’ve set Gmail to forward everything to my new one so I don’t need to go to back very often.

The only bugbear I have currently is while multi-selecting emails in the inbox, then open one up to read it and back out, the selections aren’t remembered. But they are pushing improvements all the time, so I’m sure that will be fixed with time.

I just want to give a shout out to the Star wars mod Galactic Contention for Squad. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2428425228

It is a bit more involved than your typical battlefront match, but the reward is a Star Wars game we could have only dreamed of in the past. I can’t overstate how good of a mod this is.

I don’t see these stories as about what the chat ai outputs, but more about questioning whether or not amazon should be held liable for what their AI outputs. Traditional customer support chatbots are often less than useless, but they wouldn’t go about suggesting the product they’re selling are defective or recommending offensive products. I’m of the opinion that Amazon’s review search AI thing should be held up to the same standard that a human would be. And if a person started acting like this they would surely be quickly fired.

They are a black box, and for now trying to restrain the black box has sever impact on the usefulness of the output even in easier and legit situations.
