Hate to be that guy, but all those articles are 5 years or older. Have people had more recent complaints about systemd or did that movement that complains about it kinda move on?

Thunderbird has matrix support now? 🤯

Count this comment as irrelevant if you will, but I think one of the biggest missed opportunities of EGS is mod support. They have this world-class game engine, and they do so little with it. Maybe it is because of Unreal Tournament 4 failing to take off. Maybe they think just hamfisting a bunch of this modding stuff into Fortnite is all they need, but still I feel like the EGS version of the steam workshop is an open goal. Hell, with the money they’re saving from pawning off Bandcamp you can even buy off mod.io to get support for virtually no work at all. Like why hasn’t this happened yet?

This Arch story reminds me a lot of a r/talesfromtechsupport story that went remarkably similar but had a less happy ending for the Linux enthusiast, where he basically disabled the TPM and couldn’t access the company network because the network seemed to only allow trusted machines.

Can’t find it right now but maybe I can do some digging once I’m on a computer

Isn’t there usually a yellow pop-up on the top of the screen showing microphone and webcam controls if they are active? I think that’s how you control it. Now this isn’t per-tab control, but it’s better than no control at all I guess

Right now people are theorizing 2 possible coalitions, the first one is PVV - NSC - VVD and the other one is GLPVDA - NSC - VVD - D66. This means we’re either getting a far-right populist as the prime minister or we are getting a coalition that will get us absolutely nowhere and will change nothing from the status quo, while also likely destroying leftist support even more because of how little to coalition will be capable of vs. what the leftist party (GLPVDA) promised

We’re not doing okay

ah I think that’s where I’m at odds with a lot of lemmy NixOS users then 😅, since I am and have always been pretty hesitant to recommend NixOS to anyone in particular. I find the upfront costs of NixOS too big for me to recommend the OS to anyone who wasn’t already looking into it and knows its downsides and upsides.

I do agree however on the fact that using nix is purely beneficial. It doesn’t hurt if you just add a .nix file to your project, since it doesn’t do any harm to an already existing project. It can just install your build tools and then consider itself done, and if you don’t happen to like nix after all, the new installer makes uninstalling easier than ever. There is pretty much no downside to downloading the package manager, something I can’t say about the OS.

Having said that, I don’t think nix should be the end-all be-all standard in package management. I’m sure there will be other package managers that will be better than “nix but with yaml sprinkled in”, and are capable of improving the state of the art. At least, that’s something I hope to happen. For example, I have reservations about using a full-blown programming language for doing my project configuration (see people’s problems with Gradle for why you might not want that). I think a maven-style approach (where you’d have just limited config options, but can expand the package manager’s capabilities by telling it to install certain plugins (in the same config file!)), could be worth looking into, and I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t on the look out for a potential better nix alternative

I mean seeing how people here act after having been on nixos for a few weeks I would say it’s an apt comparison. I swear we weren’t that obnoxious when I started using the distro in 2019 D:

Whatever metric they use to track installs has to prevent abuse like this

I would be eagerly awaiting a follow-up response from unity from this, because as it stands right now, consensus among gamedev circles is that unity won’t prevent abuse at all, which is just awful for multiple groups of people.

• someone paying for your game and then re-downloading it every hour would cost you $144 a month
• someone paying for your game and then re-downloading it every 5 minutes would cost you $1728 a month
• web games exist, and if the Unity Runtime Download metric is used there, well, that is going to be an expensive bill for anyone putting any sense of monetization in their web game

Idk I don’t tend to look at the clock when I fall asleep, but I do know that whenever I accidentally fall asleep while watching, say, a PBS spacetime video, I pass out for no less then about an hour

Also I have no clue how the other people here figure out how long it takes them to go to sleep, because as far as I know, looking at the clock just keeps you awake for longer

I just embrace impermanence. Fediverse is not much other than some other person’s server, and if the instance owner decides he doesn’t want to host his instance anymore, you’re just gonna have to cut your losses and move somewhere else. It’s not as if the entirety of Lemmy is gonna stop existing at once.

The real threat to Lemmy’s existence is the maintenance of the software. If that stops, there are 2 options, either someone forks it, or the medium slowly dies out as no one feels like hosting outdated software anymore.

In that case (which, might I add, is unlikely to happen), you’re gonna have to cut your losses, and move to a different type of social media

Even worse is when the bash script you downloaded is only there to do some uname checks and then download and execute more code from the internet

I had almost forgotten about the bad reddit habits when I first made the transition to Lemmy due to being on mostly less popular subs, so I was kinda expecting a tildeverse.org experience when getting here.

Sadly I got reminded of the fact this is a reddit exodus when people kept talking about spez here, and how reddit so shit now, and how Lemmy is superior and just the general sense of everyone patting each other on the back and you know, Lemmy circlejerk.

I didn’t join Lemmy just for it to become reddit again :c

I know 5 year old me would have a little trouble sleeping from some of the sounds (example when you pick up an orb) coming from noita, never mind the occasional worm or kummitus jumpscare

Yes but actually not by much, !technology@lemmy.world has 37.7k subscribers, which is their biggest community

Yes!

Death by:

• worms
• spiders
• your own ignorance
• acid
• ukko
• the connoisseur of wands
• a little bit of experimentation
• your own ignorance (it just bears repeating I guess)

IIRC their reason was world got pretty big (still is) and spam was coming to the instance. So beehaw decided to defederate until world solved their spam problem. However, as they say, “out of sight, out of mind” so beehaw may just forget about refederating world if they do fix the spam. Who knows

I used to play burnout paradise vanity pack. Haven’t gotten into it but it seems to be on a revival since players found an older unreleased (and unfinished) version of Big Surf Island

I’m pretty sure the title implies this will be the first STRAND TWO type game
