Not to mention VSCodium already exists.

I figured they would just run sfc /scannow and then sit staring at their screen bewildered when it inevitably does nothing.

Pretty sure that you get the benefit of the doubt if you had a feasible reason for adding/changing something about your food.

For example, you could add a laxative to your food/drink and be totally in the clear as long as you labelled your container with your name and maintain that you’ve been constipated. It’s a totally valid reason, plus it was labelled with your name so there’s no reason for anyone else to be consuming it.

The colours on that site are rather confusing. Defederated instances are shown in green and federated instances are shown in yellow.

I used to use that for ages, but the constant ads made me uninstall it

Yes, that’s the entire point. They promote STEM topics to their own youth and funny silly brain-numbing dances to their political opponents.

In a number of years, China’s workforce will be scientists and engineers while the US will be full of influencers and microcelebrities who provide very little actual value.

They’re playing the long game.

Just found this article about it that seems to fundamentally misunderstand it in every single way. I didn’t know it was even possible to be this clueless. Either that, or it’s AI.

I think they were more likely referring to how when the public eye is on something many companies will start churning out low-effort products to capitalise on the interest. The market would be flooded with cheap and inferior products in that niche, potentially threatening the smaller business that actually cared about making quality products for those hobbyists. I know this won’t apply to every hobby, but there are definitely a number of them that will.

Thor from Pirate Software (a game studio) does this. He has his set up so that if he doesn’t log into a specific server for a year, the source code to his game will be automatically published.

You could do the same thing. Just grab a super cheap server that checks the last login date and sends out emails.

While I agree with your sentiment, this is a terrible take.

There is always a reason for saying no, whether you want to share it or not. But that takes a backseat here because it’s an open-ended question.

You’ve answered in a very closed minded way and refused to elaborate on your position, therefore your opinion can easily be thrown away due to lack of evidence. At that point, why comment at all?

We just use PayPal or a straight up bank transfer over here.

I think OP missed your sarcasm though.

I want to try the funny Zuck sauce but I live in the UK so they’d have to re-do their tagline. Over here it’d be pronounced “the source is the boss”, which is just weird.

Craving carbs? Nah, you just need nitrogen. Just breathe some air, bro.

What even is that chart?

Subscribed, and when I soon run out of content I switch to all.

I dislike Reddit as much as anyone here but god do I miss the sheer amount of content.

Other countries declaring war will increase the value of the USD, as buying weapons from us government will decrease amount of money in circulation.

I’m not sure if I’m misunderstanding this, but wouldn’t that decrease the value of the dollar?

If the US Gov owns less weapons (because they’ve been sold) but the populace has the same number of dollars, then the value of those dollars must be decreased because there are less weapons backing it.

Her family tree must be a Penrose triangle

This feels unnecessary. Users will nearly always correct people who post in the wrong place.

A wiki or a meta-megathread would probably be a better fit for something like this. Like a Yellow Pages for communities.

I’m not sure you got the point that the article was the trying to get across.

Competition and interop are great things, but that’s not the problem. The problem is in fundamental design choices that completely change how users interact with systems.

Let’s look at controllers. Should we standardise on tracked controllers or hand tracking? There are benefits and drawbacks to both.
Controllers allow one hand to have many different inputs (be they buttons/sticks/touch/etc) and provide haptic feedback, while hand tracking does not.
Hand tracking allows better immersion as your hands in-headset will more closely match your real hands, which is something you don’t always get with controllers.
Not all applications/games can be made to work well with both of these input methods, if at all.

I’m a zoomer and I also have no fucking idea what this is

I hate them too.

I come to news sites to read articles, not watch videos. If I wanted to watch videos I would go to YouTube. It’s as simple as that.
Making them autoplay is just adding insult to injury (as well as wasting bandwidth for literally no reason).

Let’s do some napkin maths while we think how much energy has been wasted by autoplaying a video for every visitor.
If I were to guess, the video player pre-caches a few seconds of content, maybe up to 10. That’s a fair few MB worth of reasonable quality video/audio data. Now multiply that for every single visitor. That’s a lot of wasted energy. The page itself is likely ~1MB in size (at least you’d hope), so they’re potentially increasing their costs by an order of magnitude by having the videos autoplay.

It’s monumentally stupid.
