Nobody likes a sucker, especially the kind that fall for fruit tarts like you. I knew there was trouble. I could smell it on the hot evening breeze. Fortunately for me, trouble is my favorite thing… Because I’m Joe Milkshake. I kicked down the door with one swift, decisive motion.

I don’t know what Mattermost is and clicking on the link that OP provided I only see a sign-up page. I don’t know before signing up what kind of content to expect. Not quite enticing to sign up in that case on what looks like some random page.

Good idea but I am not sure this can take off. But maybe I am not the target population here.

Very cool but what it is missing is showing when projects were updated last. I got excited seeing there was an Android app for Portainer but going to Github I can see last update was done 2 years ago. I don’t use Portainer anymore so it is not worth trying for me if it still works as intended.

Anyone here not using an open source launcher after this announcement is seriously learning nothing from this. You are just trusting the next company that either already or eventually will go the same way. Like the dude mentioning Microsoft launcher as alternative, that one has branch analytics baked in as well as far as I remember.

Of course, but when something like that happens to a popular app there will be an outcry. If you are not a tech person you might miss that, but I’d argue if you care about what launcher your phone has and you care about this issue to go foss you are probably the type of person who’d hear about it.

I use KISS launcher but there are many other options mentioned here that are also good. Yes, nothing is exactly like Nova. But lots of other stuff is good too.

RootBeerGuy ,
@RootBeerGuy@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

Depends how important some features are for you, e.g. read here help.niagaralauncher.app/…/20-sesame-integration

Right now its probably OK, but Nova was also OK for a while. If a FOSS launcher does this and is popular, it will be forked. Niagara won’t be forked.

Maybe I missed it but my ultimate pet peeve of these articles about scientific breakthroughs is that they neither credit a single name of a scientist in their article nor even just putting a single link to the work. I know its likely behind a paywall (darn you scientific publishing), but still!

I browsed a bit through Nature Communications and haven’t seen the article…

I missed the name, thank you!

Yeah, also correlation is not causation. I know its an old trope to bring up but it is true. You can find a lot of correlations in science and research, they don’t need to make sense.

Not a movie. First season of the Mandalorian. Din is about to hand over Grogu but is hesitant.

Edit: funny enough you don’t know either of their names at that point in the series.

It would be worse if its the right direction but still the wrong orientation, seeing as the line is not centered.

That annoying thing is more on Protonmail though and I don’t mean that as a negative, just more difficult to connect when the provider wants to keep things secure.

Are you the person that commented “I also choose this guy’s dead wife”?

RootBeerGuy ,
@RootBeerGuy@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

It really needs to be weight/price or size/price then. The way this sounds in the article the producers just also need to change price a little to avoid getting that sign. Per weight or size that might still end up more expensive for the consumer.

I would never trust YouTube kids ever. If its not an entirely separate platform it is not worth it with YouTube.

Something like Netflix is way more trustable since they control their content. Well, until they start adding ai generated crap and ads, then its goodbye Netflix too.

The thing is, that won’t work well either. The UK had a very special position previously in the EU, like not adopting the Euro as currency and many other extra “perks” or whatever you want to call it. If they go back in they will likely not get any of those since otherwise it will look really bad for other countries that recently joined. Then people will be unhappy about joining again because it is not what they remembered. So, no, there is no winning with this one, damage is done.

Where do you download subtitles from ?

My vlc (latest ver from fdroid) can no longer download subtitles anyone else have this problem and is there any way to solve it or any other apo to try from fdroid that can serve as both audio and video player ? Anyway some websites i visited puts me in captcha loop because i use vpn so is there any straightforward no bullshut...

RootBeerGuy ,
@RootBeerGuy@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

There are also many online tools where once you figured it out in the player you can adjust the sync by uploading the subtitle file there. Good if you want to keep the media and don’t want to figure the delay out every single time.

Was the time loop just a plot device to show Raynor is wrong with his behaviour?

Yeah, but this is milk. For small babies that don’t eat solid food. This is basically training them to crave sugar as early as possible.

As soon as 3rd party clients don’t work as they do anymore, I am stopping going to YouTube. Simple as, I know it doesn’t matter as a singular thing, I am just one user. Was the same with reddit, now I am here but reddit is still going (how well we don’t need to debate now).

Game designer created a Playdate game to pop the question to the love of his life (beehaw.org)

Game designer Aaron (Pikaaroon) today showcased how he built a game to propose to his partner. Having previously worked on Sea of Thieves and Warcraft III: Reforged, he’s no stranger to creating colossal playable experiences. For this incredibly important moment in his life, though, he chose to work with the Playdate. Which I...

I don’t know if it is that simple. Look at the US, so much proof the very same thing happened with the Republicans or Trump. And lots of people don’t give a crap.

In my opinion. The majority of computer/phone users is not very technical. They get used to how something they use works. It keeps working as is for a long time.

Then when small changes make it worse, they just accept them. Its just a bit worse. No biggie, then at some point they are used to the new normal. Something else gets worse and the whole thing repeats. It has to be literally unusable before such users switch to a new thing. Like reddits servers need to shut down, that kind of unusable.

95% of users are like that (1).

Even if we simplify this to “both of them are dicks” it still leaves the sentiment that one of them is a CEO representing a company. Doesn’t reflect well on the company, I don’t care about the blogger.
