It's scene stuff, probably taken from usenet. They use it there because files are often incompete and you want smaller chunks for parity purposes. There's no real advantage for torrents.

Yeah uhhhh let's maybe not promote shit that Notch says.

That whole survival crafting genre seems very hit or miss to me, and I've noticed that people liking one game in the genre is a very poor predictor of whether they'll like another one. Subnautica, Don't Starve, Minecraft, and Ark are all theoretically the same genre but very different games.

However I've also seen a lot of people say that Subnautica was the one that clicked for them. I think the story and progression was big for a lot of people.

I thought the people fired were executives, not creatives.

Edit: I also don't see how a boycott helps the actual people working on the game.

I did not find it that difficult, but there was a lot of up front homework to make sure you had a compatible hardware configuration due to needing hardware which was supported by the limited number of Mac configurations. I recall running into a problem where I wasn't getting a picture on my monitor and I could not figure out why since my video card was supported and the drivers were ok. The problem as it turned out? I had my monitor connected via DVI and macs had never supported DVI so there were no drivers. Once the install was done, it pretty much Just Worked. Linux installs are pretty easy these days but debugging problems can be very difficult. The hard part of the hackintosh was keeping up with upgrades, since they needed to be done manually (due to potentially breaking things).

I do think that bluesky has a ton of momentum right now and is a viable alternative. But the thing about microblogging sites is that if the specific people you want to follow aren't on them, there's not really a substitute. I know I've heard people say that, for example, a lot of japanese game developers are still primarily on twitter (I've never been a twitter/bsky enjoyer so I can't speak to it personally).

Abandoned mine several years ago. Kind of a shame, they were a good option for a while for people who weren't windows fans but didn't want to run linux full time. Apple just doesn't really have any offerings for people who want a desktop that's upgradeable, but don't want to drop the money on a Mac Pro.

I honestly mostly avoid boules these days because they're somewhat impractical for me, so maybe I should try this.

[–] CidVicious@sh.itjust.works 3 points 4 days ago (2 children)

That seems complicated.

Shitty arm rests though.

Where does "slammed into someone's car" fall?

 
 
 

Last year, banks quickly raised interest rates to record levels and added new monthly fees on credit cards when a Consumer Financial Protection Bureau rule threatened a key revenue source for the industry.

Now, they’re far more reluctant to reverse those steps, even after bank trade groups succeeded in killing the CFPB rule in federal court last month.

Synchrony and Bread Financial, two of the biggest players in the business of issuing branded credit cards for the likes of Amazon , Lowe’s and Wayfair

, are keeping the higher rates in place, executives said in recent conference calls.

“We feel pretty comfortable that the rule has been vacated,” Synchrony CEO Brian Doubles said on April 22. “With that said, we don’t currently have plans to roll anything back in terms of the changes that we made.”

 
 

Posting a screenshot of the interface when I'm typing a comment reply as an example. I have large thumbs and I have to scale the keyboard up pretty high to be able to type. Thunder has what I would call a lot of wasted space in comment reply mode. The button bar could be hidden (it's not something I really use) and either the header text could be shrunk or omitted entirely. Just making the header scroll rather than being fixed could work as well. This would probably be a good use case for floating action buttons. There's basically only two things I care about when typing a comment reply: seeing the text I'm typing, and referencing the text I'm replying to. Would love some options that allow me to maximize the space used.

 

Sadly I think I'm finally ready to put Sync out to pasture since it isn't maintained.
