If you have three particles, 1/3 of that is one particle. No need to divide an indivisible particle.

rbits ,

Right, but you can have exactly a third of some group of particles. You can’t have exactly pi of some group of particles I think is what they were saying

rbits ,

Making your own protocols means vulnerabilities are more likely. Better to use one that’s been tested and audited (unless it’s following something like this EU thing of course)

rbits OP ,

Lol that’s exactly what this was. I wrote this python script, and he went through and added comments like this a day before the deadline.

Not trying to throw shade on him though, it’s more the university’s fault for not explaining what makes a useful comment. I just thought it was funny

A tower defense game with a microprocessor theme

Does anyone remember that club penguin tower defence game where you defend against computer viruses?

rbits ,

You know the bot that replies with a haiku if your comments syllables match? They should do this instead

Yooo foone

The Indie Chat & Recommendation Thread (cdn.imgchest.com)

“Inspired” by the Square-Enix putting their foot in their mouth thread, I thought it’d be interesting to make a little thread about indie games. People always talk about wanting to try different, cheaper titles, but with how hard it is to get good gaming news and the state of advertisement/marketing, word of mouth tends to...

rbits ,

Pseudoregalia mentioned!

Also lol at “worse graphics” for Rainworld. An amazing looking game. Though it probably doesn’t actually mean worse graphics, just less realistic graphics

rbits ,

Here’s an underrated game recommendation: Patrick’s Parabox. Probably the most well designed puzzle game I’ve ever played.

rbits ,

Nice. Won’t be playing it till the full release, I still have Hades 1 after all, but all this attention will probably make the game even better than the original

rbits ,

Balatro, game of the year for me so far

rbits ,

The app also doesn’t let you add your own music, though… Very annoying, cause some songs aren’t on streaming services

rbits ,

I agree I always get cramps whenever I play mario kart in handheld. That’s why I buy as many of my games as I can on the Steam Deck instead.

rbits ,

The email vendor doesn’t really matter though unless you are sending or receiving emails. Phone numbers require you to pay a carrier every month. And while most people have phone numbers, some don’t, especially children.

My mum used iMessage to communicate with my sister before she got a phone number. If she switched to Android, I guess there’s Google Chat, but you know how Google is with their chat apps.

Ideally you’d be able to choose between phone number OR email. Like iMessage.

rbits ,

Yeah signal, telegram, and whatsapp all want phone numbers I think. And I don’t think I’d be able to convince my mum to use Discord or Matrix. She’d probably end up using something like Facebook Messenger/Messenger Kids

rbits ,

I think you still need a phone number though. I think that’s just for if you don’t want to give out your phone number.

rbits ,

I’m definitely waiting. If I have a craving for some Hades, I still have the first game

rbits ,

I bought the Zenfone 9, but now the new Zenfones don’t have headphone jacks, so I don’t know what phone to buy when I end up needing a new one. There seems to be no phones with headphone jacks that aren’t huge, except for the budget phones

rbits ,

Huh, I thought they didn’t. Maybe I’m confusing it with the Google Pixels, I switched away from them because they don’t have headphone jacks anymore. I feel like there was something about the new Zenfones that I didn’t like, idk

rbits ,

Don’t know how to post the boomerang, but passed everything else (I think) as a 20 year old gen z

Brackeys is back, and will now make tutorials on Godot (www.youtube.com)

This is exciting news for every aspiring game developer! Brackeys, a popular YouTuber who used to make in-depth and very user-friendly tutorials about Unity, is returning after a long hiatus, and will now create tutorials on Godot (for those who don’t know, it’s a FOSS game engine, but I’m pretty sure that, if you have an...

rbits ,

Haven’t really used them but the main thing I’ve heard is that Godot is a lot simpler to use, especially for 2D games. With Godot you can also use many different languages, while Unity only supports C#. I’ve heard that Godot’s 3D engine isn’t as fully fleshed out as Unity’s though. I’ve seen complaints about the lighting engine, for example.

rbits ,

It wouldn’t need to say HighContrastForAccessibilityPurposes though, it would ideally just be HighContrast, and the “for accessibility purposes” would be a comment, right?

rbits ,

Yeah. It’s not even the fact that they don’t implement Nearby Share themselves that’s bad, it’s that the restrictions they impose on apps means that an app can’t even implement Nearby Share themselves

rbits ,

There is NO upside to federation with Threads. Zero.

That’s a bit of an exaggeration. I don’t think it will affect Lemmy at all, since it’s a different type of posts. But in terms of Mastodon, it means a whole lot more content for Mastodon users, and a whole lot more people to follow. And also means that people can move to Mastodon while still having the audience that Threads provides.

Of course if you think that the downsides are worse than the upsides, then that doesn’t really matter. But don’t say there are NO upsides.

rbits ,

Yeah. The number one reason I won’t subscribe is that if their library is missing a song, you can’t even add it yourself. Both Spotify and Apple Music allow adding your own MP3s, how does Tidal not have that feature?!

rbits ,

I love it because I never use liked songs (I don’t understand how people do, using the same playlist forever. Do your tastes never change? Idk each to their own).

So it means 1: I can easily add songs to multiple playlists at once. I have 4 different playlists that I listen to, and sometimes a song fits all 4, and it used to take 12 taps to add it to all 4 (tap dots, tap add, tap playlist, 4 times). Now it only takes 6.

2: I can now see if the song is already in a playlist. Before the only way was to try adding it to the playlist and see if it warned me of a duplicate.

3: Now I can see at a glance if it’s added to a playlist. If it’s added to 1 playlist then it’s probably added to all the playlists it needs to be.

And you can still add songs to your liked songs in 1 tap. I feel like the reason most people dont like it is because it’s a change that they aren’t used to.

But really, the ideal solution would’ve been if Spotify just added a settings option to change it back to the old way. But Spotify seems to be vehemently opposed to options.

Also, what’s way worse than the new like button is the stupid “smart shuffle”. I just want to turn off shuffle, but now I have to press it again. And it’s also really buggy, it will often display shuffle as off when it’s really on smart shuffle, so I get unpleasantly surprised with some random song I’ve never heard. I really wish there were third party apps for Spotify, cause the Spotify app kinda sucks

rbits ,

Also what is the change to playlists? I wasn’t aware Spotify had folders. Did they remove them?

Edit: Nevermind they’re still there. What did they change?

rbits ,

Need a Plex server though :/

Also cost $6.50AUD a month, way too much.

rbits ,

Yeah I just wish there was a toggle.

Also didn’t they have a thing like smart shuffle before, it was just called radio. But they seem to have removed it and replaced it with smart shuffle for playlists. I can only see the radio option for albums. That was better, because then it only did it when I wanted it.

rbits ,

How do you set it up without a server. I can’t get past this screen

Plexamp Select a Library screen

Edit: Also on that web page is says that downloads are locked behind Plex Pass, that’s pretty vital…

rbits ,

Ehhh I don’t like the new one. Calibri’s better. I wish it had a better g though.

rbits ,

I also would like to know. I use KDE Neon right now, but a more up-to-date ubuntu base would be great. I just don’t see a distro that does that and uses KDE. And I don’t want to use a Canonical distro with all the stupid snaps and stuff

rbits ,

Damn. So still not a replacement for iMessage. Does anyone know of a good iMessage replacement (doesn’t require a phone number, available for under 13s)?

rbits ,

They don’t “protect” you from anything but other armies

Yes, but other armies do exist. And that will always be the case. There’s no way to convince everyone to not have an army, especially because someone would have to be first and no one would want to do that because then they are defenseless.

rbits ,

This change impacts every mobile user, not just iPhone users. iPhones are a good portion of the userbase of most apps/websites. For PWAs to gain mass adoption, it needs to be available for the majority of users. This change means that will not be the case in the EU.

PWAs have just been doomed by Apple, and unless Apple reverts this change, they will now never be successful in the EU. And probably not even outside of the EU since non-european products still have european users.

rbits ,

And then capitalism that made the company repeatedly ask for him to stop researching it.

rbits ,

Did N64 games work on the Sega Genesis?

No, but Playstation games did en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bleem!! And Sony sued them but failed

rbits ,

A year? You’ll put your content on Mastodon but won’t let us communicate properly for a year? Why? You shouldn’t have released the first part yet, federation for Threads obviously isn’t ready.

rbits ,

I don’t get how Americans are more scared of Australia’s animals when they have goddamn bears! You can get an antidote for a spider or snake bite, you can’t get an antidote for a bear bite.

rbits ,

Knew someone was going to comment this

rbits ,

It’s a proper distro, that’s just saying it’s not THE official one

rbits ,

Oh ok

rbits ,

Then why did you ask for proof lol

rbits ,

No, cause Wikimedia wouldn’t let him buy it in a million years

rbits ,

I’m going to skip the sponsor anyway, SponsorBlock just makes it way easier. I don’t have it on auto skip though, because 1: Sometimes they mark segments as sponsored that still have interesting stuff, and sometimes they do good sponsor segments, and 2: Maybe sometimes I’ll be willing to watch it. For example, I always watch the end segment of Jet Lag.

So it ends up being not very different from skipping the sponsor. And besides, I never bought/used anything from a sponsor segment before SponsorBlock.

rbits ,

as practiced

People who agree with communism “as practiced” are usually ridiculed by others on lemmy, from what I’ve seen.

rbits ,

It’s very good. I wish there was a way to sync podcasts without hosting a gpodder server. There is supposed ot be a free site, but it doesn’t seem to work anymore.

Still not worth paying the insanely expensive subscription to sync on pocket casts though. I might try to selfhost gpodder soon, I just need to fix my internet so I can port forward.
