Step 1: Add ads into [insert app of choice here] that are really annoying

Step 2: Make people pay to get rid of them. Bonus points if it’s a subscription

Step 3: People hate your app but it’s the one that’s installed by default so they use it anyway

Step 4: Profit

We’re already on the 6th generation of folding phones though

Is the search bar moving down to the middle of the screen when I’m typing a bug? If not is there a setting for that somewhere?

What priorities are there? I’m talking about emotions, not actions.

You can feel bad for both the children of this guy that will now grow up without a father and the millions of people he harmed at the same time. I’m not even saying I feel equally as bad for his children as his victims’ children (because losing a parent to a preventable death due to insurance is objectively a worse situation). All I’m saying is it’s reasonable to feel sympathy for both. It’s not like the kids had a choice in what their dad did.

It isn’t impossible to feel bad for both?

You can feel bad for his family while also not feeling bad about his death. Losing a loved one is hard regardless of how much money you have. That doesn’t mean it wasn’t ultimately a net positive (although I’m doubtful that UH will actually change any policies because of this)

This could actually make sense if those bot posts that mirror reddit subs are included in this number since those don’t really get any comments

Decentralized/OSS platforms >>> Multiple competing centralized platforms >>> One single centralized platform

Bluesky and Threads are both bad but having more options than Twitter/X is still a step in the right direction, especially given the direction Musk is taking it in. As much as I like the fediverse (I won’t be using either Threads or BlueSky anytime soon), it still has a lot of problems surrounding ease of use. Lemmy, Mastodon, Misskey, etc. would benefit a lot from improving the signup process so that the average user doesn’t need to be overwhelmed with picking an instance and understanding how federation works.

It got revived also! They’re back on F-droid as well, not sure about it being the same developer as this though since I don’t use friendica

edit: here’s the new GitHub link: https://github.com/LiveFastEatTrashRaccoon/RaccoonForLemmy

I like the idea of the local feed, especially for smaller, less generalized instances, but the default should definitely be federated and the wording could also be changed if only because the word “federated” would probably be confusing to non-technical people. Replacing it with something like “All” might be a better idea

Piggybacking off this comment because I completely agree with it.

Did we not learn anything from CrowdStrike? If a comparatively simple fix was able to wipe out half the world, how would something that requires an active choice (where to get certs from) not completely cripple all of our infrastructure?

It’s not even that though. The developers could have been amazing for all we know but great devs doesn’t help a paid game in a genre that already has too many games in it, most of which are free. This is especially so when the publisher does absolutely zero advertising for it past the initial announcement trailer.

Hey did you know that any JSON file is also a valid YAML file? I bet you’ll love YAML a lot more now that you have this information

I haven’t checked back on it since I stopped using reddit (and I no longer use a surface pro) but there was a pretty active surface Linux community there as well with some good resources. For a lot of models you’ll need a USB keyboard/mouse to actually install the distro but once you can load the custom surface linux kernel things worked pretty well for me.

The point of the game is to shoot people with actual guns until you’re the only person (or team) left. Is the word “kill” really where ESRB draws the line?? (not that I think fortnite should be rated R)

You’re not wrong but it’s not like it’s unprecedented. North Korea already does this with Red Star OS. It’s just Linux with a bunch of spyware and government tracking/surveillance on top (edit: it’s also definitely not open source)

It won’t be open source. Who’s gonna sue Russia for license violation?

Smh, it’s spelt vim by the way

There are actually relatively easy (easy compared to building a nuclear reactor) ways to deal with the waste that involve mixing it with concrete and glass so it can be safely stored in a way that won’t impact the surrounding environment. Kyle Hill has a great video about this on YouTube: https://youtu.be/4aUODXeAM-k

I completely agree with that take, I was just making a joke about how the first sentence reads like the start of a comment that’s about to defend Nintendo
