If you can test it on a feature branch then at least you can squash or tidy the commits after you’ve got them working. If you can only test by committing to main though, curse whoever designed that.

Aussie, come on man the clue was the OP!

Isn’t that the purpose of the work profile?

I guess that’s what instances are trying to avoid by preemptively blocking Threads. If everyone else blocks it then Lemmy carries on existing as it is. And I can’t imagine big corpo wouldn’t want to create their own name.

Either they federate and all their users are exposed to the rest of the fediverse, or they don’t and they may as well be a separate thing

Huge growth (in the month after we released a new phone)

Surprised they’re even thinking that far ahead!

I was keeping in mind that they put that much money in, surely all that money has made something playable that would make some money, whereas throwing it all away makes nothing at all, right?

“Certain aspects of Concord were exceptional,” Hulst continued, “but others did not land with enough players, and as a result we took the game offline. We have spent considerable time these past few months exploring all our options [and] after much thought, we have determined the best path forward is to permanently sunset the game and close the studio.”

But why? Did they actually think it was going to cost more money to keep the servers running than it would bring in? What’s the opposite of the sunk cost fallacy?

Yeah I’d had my eye on this for a bit, it seems disappointingly bare-bones in terms of features which is a shame. Guess I’ll be sticking with the increasingly-broken neo/omega launcher for a while!

I use Cryptomator on desktop and Android and while I think it is a slightly different use case than syncthing, it can probably cover a lot of similar uses. And yeah, on Android you don’t actually have a local copy of all your stuff, you can just upload, download, or edit text files.

Whoops, I meant “passkey”, I’ll edit my original comment

So it’s 2FA for unlocking your device, which is good in principle but will need some serious reliability updates first

My office chair is a gaming chair (seems fine), my gaming chair is the sofa and a big pile of cushions (and the bog, of course)

It’s a fair point, and I used to read a lot of articles that made me say “fuck off”, but eventually I realised it was happening regardless of my grumbles so I may as well not let them stress me out!

Guys… these phones aren’t for people like us anymore. The days of computers being just for techies who like to tinker are over because the market for “normal” people is so much larger, and the causal user just wants to text some people and watch some videos. They neither want nor need the things that we consider fundamental, so don’t get frustrated that the shiny stuff now isn’t aimed at us.

Using a security key as a password manager passkey seems to resolve this issue (I think?), but I guess the issue is more a problem for the casual user who wouldn’t bother with a security key!

It’s interesting timing, two years after a UK government spokesperson said “we are not currently considering replicating” the EU charging requirement and a full year after the European Union officially mandated USB-C charging for a wide range of electronic devices.

There’s been a bit of a change since then, mate

They make cool stuff, but they are ultimately an advertising company (as in that’s their main source of revenue). So by all means enjoy the cool stuff, just proceed with caution and of course assume nothing is permanent!

There’s no .uk and there never was!
