They do be saying that life imitates art

It is always left out from the Lemmy app party :(

Such hateful ideas are a symptom which can have wast variety of root cause. Your example is quite extreme and I agree it rightfully warrants hatred, but I’d argue that it’s all the more reason to not dismiss a person. We should seek connection with and understand these people and prevent destructive ideas from spreading IMHO, because there will be others who also won’t dismiss the person - only difference is that they might be receptive for hateful ideas. Sorry if I came across supporting these ideas, this is not the case.

I’m personally not going to hate on or dismiss a person based on political opinions or ideologies

It’s a company. They realized they make platforms even better than games and capitalized on that. I see no issue with that. Moreover, they were working on Source 2, HL: Alyx and Counter Strike 2 recently, which I would say is immense work for a company, even more so considering their very humble employee count (compared to direct competitors, e.g. Epic)

Yeah, you’re going to lose some wow factor when you realize a trick or game mechanic required for the puzzles, but I think it’s still worth it (if you love puzzles anyway)

Thanks for the recommendation for Taiji, it really is very similar, looks like something I’d love to play :) I put it on my wishlist!

The Witness also falls into this category I think. I love these games as well

So in this scenario my closest would be the gay tiger from my inner circle?

You can use without plugins as well, they are not a must. I’ve been using Obsidian for years just for it’s inter-connected markdown references. Kind of like a wiki, I’m just taking markdown notes and sometimes create a link to another related note. Also, good at handling attachments and embeds. I haven’t used anything else (maybe tags nowadays… But that’s it) Thing is, if you like markdown then you should give it a go.

Thought unlocked: Advanced Race Theory

You’re right, I did not even notice the persistent notification! What a unnecessarily annoying move. This deserved an early bird uninstall for me…

Thank you for the tip, I’ll sign up. I occasionally use the audio call functionality, but shouldn’t be an issue.

I’ve tried, and on the mobile site there’s no way to access Messenger. Only workaround is if you force the desktop version on messenger.com but it is very inconvenient.

Sounds good. I think the decision is bad for the current state of the lemmyverse, we need some roadblocks for spam bots.

I think forks and OG projects can live side by side, even more so, they can have a symbiotic relationship. The beauty of open source that we can learn from each other.

Thank you for your response, makes sense. Hmmm. On one hand, I agree with the developers in that they have to develop features that the foundation requires. They have full time employment contract with them.

They have to prioritize tasks and features using a whole different set of variables than what the users deem important.

I think both groups intentions are understandable. But I think this just highlights the importance and the need of open source contribution. We need more volunteers to implement features desired by the community.

So, do you think we need to step up to the developers to implement captcha or give way to the community and support a fork with better anty-spam measures?

Who is impacted? Everyone, it just instances upgrading to 0.18?

To be honest, your post doesn’t really explain the current situation and impact It’s a call to arms, but I have no idea how important it impactful it is.

Such an improvement in my opinion. 90% of the time I am browsing my playlists. Now, instead of getting 20% of the screen space, they get a generous 70% almost! This small change makes me want to use Spotify desktop again.

I have no idea how they came to this decision, or whether it’s I’m in the majority, but it makes me wonder: did they finally start to use the app usage analytics to improve their UX? Like looking at the most used functions in their app.

This is a good idea. You don’t even need an external SSD, you can use a simple USB drive as well. I’ve done this for a long time with an old laptop and a lightweight Linux Mint distro (although you can probably have something even more lightweight on there)

Ungoogled Chromium: https://chromium.woolyss.com/ It should be the most barebones Chromium browser, hopefully using less RAM. And! Important: Download the 32bit version, even if you choose another browser. As your friend only has 4GB RAM, the max memory a 32bit software can address, you wouldn’t have any benefit from a 64bit version, and 32bit apps usually use much much less memory (RAM).

Good luck!
