I haven’t used Windows for more than a decade, and I am genuinely surprised reading your post that the game works in this manner even if with proton/wine layer.

I can’t help but think that this is an exception, and would attribute this behaviour to how the game is made. I wonder what other software function this way.

Most of the criticism I have seen online stems from how Canonical (the company behind Ubuntu) plays fast and loose with the FLOSS ethos. The earliest controversy I can recall was the inclusion of the ‘Amazon shopping lens’ in its Unity desktop environment. There may have been earlier issues, but this one made mainstream headlines in the early 2010s. More recently, the push for Snap (its application bundle format), which relies on proprietary server-side components, which invited criticism.

That said, I still find the OS ideal for most users. It has been (and still is) a gateway OS for many Windows and macOS refugees, thanks to its strong community. It was for me nearly two decades ago, and I prefer to remember Ubuntu for the good it has done for the community.

There was one here yesterday written so poorly I feel less informed for having read it. I would like the option to take my money back for reading such a bad article.

That’s hilarious.

Can you share the post?

With so many opportunities presented to it, Mastodon still hasn’t found its footing with the mainstream audience.

I think its users should accept the platform will remain a niche for the foreseeable future.

Thanks. This works. I fully agree with comments made. I still have not found Mastodon intuitive to use daily as I find Lemmy.

The link isn’t operational.

This to me is the only sensible answer.

Im my opinion, BlueSky is merely this year’s Threads.

Who knows, maybe next year we will have ‘X’ (pun intended) which would be the year’s BlueSky.

In relation to the second point, I am assuming the policy is opposing intentional or willful sharing of data for AI usage, as there already datasets composed of BlueSky posts out in the wild[0].

Extending your rule: Never trust a service whose “Pricing” page is hidden.

Earlier today, I encountered a website[0] that does exactly this.

Well, sometimes it is an uppercase.

The comment you are replying has “ass” censored with a 🫏.

This is the first time I am seeing ass being censored in such manner. The more I ponder why the commenter did it, the funnier it gets – regardless of their intention.

I am not refuting or opposing your statement. I understood your point very well, but the brevity of your statement led to more than one interpretation.

I am merely pointing out whichever way one interprets your statement, it serves as a good warning about keeping one’s backups tested.

A backup that is untested is a backup that does not exist?

A backup that is untested does not exist?

There exists no backup that is untested?

Any interpretation of your statement seems cautionary to me. :-)

How do you view diffs and merges when you say you don’t use git GUIs? External tool or terminal/command line?

Terminal.

I use Jetbrains IDEs and most of my life has been IDE based git interaction. And I honestly love it, easy access to see my diffs, the most common commit, push and stage(or shelve as Jetbrains does it, which is better than visual studio). Hassle free and available beats writing anything to me.

Perhaps, it is a mix of learned behaviour and cognitive fixation, as I started out my development journey predominantly using a terminal, that I cannot fathom Git GUI being hassle free.

Nice to read a different perspective on such a fundamental thing that I take for granted while working. Thank you for sharing it.

It is subjective, I like the old eBay logo more, but dislike the old Airbnb one.

I always found Git GUIs, especially the ones built into IDEs, to be more confusing and clunkier than working with Git on a terminal. It often feels like unlearning what one knows about Git, and relearning it the way that specific GUI demands.

Heck, I am going through the aforementioned feeling as I force myself to use Magit on Emacs. It just does not feel intuitive. But I will not give up until I have made an honest and full attempt.

The only sensible Git GUI I ever used is Sublime Merge[0], after a coworker praised it immensely. Even that is reserved for the rarest of the rare times when the changes in the workspace gets unwieldy and unruly. For every other instance: Git CLI on a terminal.

E: typo, and link to mentioned GUI.

Interesting. I still get the original response.

Voyager is indeed a really good app for Lemmy. It is based on Apollo app which was the best, and IMO, the only sensible way to browse Reddit on iOS.

I am glad @[email protected] had a working version ready merely days after the new TOS came into effect.

I have been using it since it was called Wefwef (which I still feel was a better name, more playful), and I liked it so much that I use it on my Android phone as well as my iOS daily driver.

It was on Lemmy World’s All[0] less than 10 days ago.
