I guess because they are more mainstream, people are more aware of Steam and Epic than GOG.
Totally, I was just hoping for a shoutout. If they are pro DRM-free games, they are in an obvious position to promote the store that is… DRM-free
I wonder if they plan to incorporate a moonlight server (or any form of streaming), so you could test a game without having to download it, so long as the admin host has it installed.
I know other tools out there do that already, but it would be nice if it was all in one. I’m also surprised they compare themselves to Steam/Epic when DRM-free is GoGs whole thing
I hear you, but these are solve-able human problems, not code problems:
Manager: Jose revert your commit, thanks. Jose: okay, it’s been reverted, I won’t do that again, thanks for explaining to me why exactly what I did was the wrong thing to do.
I’ve had this exact conversation about this topic at least a half dozen times over the last decade.
When it comes to legacy code, almost all auto formatting tools I’ve used allow you to ignore whole directories and files, which can be very handy for legacy areas of the codebase not yet ready for this transition.
As for scenarios where large rewrites are necessary, it’s best to separate from any actual work, so the blast radius is focused, and that commit can be marked properly using .git-blame-ignore-revs which completes fixes the history issues that are common amongst those who don’t know what they are doing.
Definitely a painful process it can be, but it’s better to fight this battle than it is to try and get 1,000 humans to agree on something as vague as “style”
These days it’s very common to write whatever code you want, and a formatter automatically rewrites it to conform to the projects rules during precommit.
Which is great because it allows you to focus on intent instead of format, and completely avoids any team disagreements or change rejections for trivial bullshit.
Often this is the correct pragmatic power user solution in UX design. Trying to solve it by default for everyone is much harder and will ultimately alienate some user.
But when people get bothered by an experience it is much easier for them to find the hidden setting that makes them happy again. It also preserves the existing experience, while allowing for greater customization in the long term.
Once a decent compromise is identified, that’s when it’s time to flip which setting gets to be the default.
We in this forum are a specific type, few use lemmy, and few invest in Arm directly.
SpaceX and Arm aren’t comparable, f.e. I know a college student investing in Space X, as well as an Elderly man, a cousin of mine who works in marketing, etc. It’s normal joes who want in. That never happened to Arm, and I’d be surprised if it ever does. It won’t be mainstream. I don’t know anyone personally who invests in Arm other than myself.
I’m talking about norms and sensationalism, not the state of a technology.
Notably ARM was not mainstream when it IPOd either, meaning it was a safe® bet at the time.
Most IPOs have become sensationalized to drive up interest, which is terrible for everyone except a select few.
Actually it technically does get irradiated by neutron activation, but the half life of Nitrogen-16 is only 7 seconds, so by the time it reaches the filters it’s already poof decayed away. (Very small amounts)
I’ve never owned a flip phone that I couldn’t plug in and swap the battery with a new one without it turning off. If that wasn’t normal with your phones I’m not sure why, maybe different circuitry?
Regardless making devices easy to repair, and thus open and maintainable was what I was getting at.
Codeberg / Forgejo and Tangled are my favorite options. Tangled because while it is VC backed, the open source and federated model are well thought out. If you haven’t read the source code I highly recommend it, it’s genius.
Just make hot swapping batteries normal again like it used to be.
Ironically somehow AI is making disabling JS better nowadays, because text/markdown is becoming normalized, so receiving a pure text version of a page is a thing again.
The pain I felt when I cracked my 12” display still echoes in my mind.
I would use this for streaming games from a wired PC to a device that’s wireless. Not having to run a wire is magical.
It’s not common knowledge outside of dev circles tbh, your advice to blocks ads though is legit. You don’t deserve those downvotes
I wouldn’t call them different browsers, more like skins or “chrome”. All iOS browsers are built on Apple WebKit. This essentially makes all of them reskinned versions of Safari.
Sure they may have some clever UI, accessibility, or platform specific functionality. But they are nothing like any of those browsers on other operating systems.
I’ve never had to use windows at work except for some extremely rare moments, such as debugging a customer issue.
Always had a choice between Linux and macOS, and even if it was a requirement, I’d just become the change I wanted to see, show them all the money they could be saving and improve security demonstrably.
I described it that way because the content morphed several times moments after the blog post went up, and appeared fully automated.
Perhaps a human reviewed it and updated it after the fact, but I’d be shocked if the original post I saw wasn’t an LLM.
In case anyone wants to skip the weird ai content blog

Reddit is so bad that I’ve been working on my own alternative. Lemmy is great, don’t get me wrong but I have my gripes with all of them, so why not build something for me, ya know.
I’m using At Protocol as the basis for it, and trying some new things out that I haven’t seen before.
