  • What happened? I also worked with the JIRA API (on-prem tho), and didn't run into bigger troubles.

    The only thing I really dislike is the "discovery" process. I don't have much to compare it to, but going through /createmeta/ and what keys are allowed/work or not and how to get to the correct service, and what data is shown or not. Maybe I did it wrong.

  • It's also bullshit. My parents (both 50+) are both learning English right now. Of course they'll never be close to native speakers. But they are absolutely able to communicate to get around, well beyond the basics too.

    It doesn't get easier. But it also doesn't get impossible. Motivation is a big step towards it.

  • No. It's complicated. There are new scanners, which are supposed to detect and identify fluids, and we're supposed to lead to a removal of the fluid restrictions. But now there's claims they are not good as expected.

    So yeah, new scanners, but sometimes with restrictions in place and sometimes not. And if the whole airport (or just the security check point you end up at) doesn't have the new scanner... then of course the restriction is definitely in place.

    Source: airport nearby has a mix of old and new scanners.

  • But I'm curious, why are Europeans so horrified by the idea of heating water in the microwave?

    Not op. But I'm really curious about the whole "microwave water" thing.

    For me it's just a completely foreign idea. Maybe because electric kettles are so ubiquitous over here. Like everyone has one, including office kitchens and hotel rooms.

    I'm also curious over the practicality. Doesn't it spill over? What kind of container do you use to hold the water? For example if you want one cup of tea, do you just put a cup of water into the microwave? Depending on the container, do you watch it the whole time?

    I understand why one may use the microwave to heat water, I also understand it works, but the idea of actually doing it is... mystifying.

  • My parents' Switch has a multi-page settings menu, an online account and subscription, even games that come on cartridge often require downloads and updates before you start playing.

    Two-fold problem: a) give the consumer freedom of choice b) make it difficult enough to successfully set it up once, and then stay locked in

    That's both by accident (provide freedom choice) and by design (lock them as long as possibile).

  • People who know programming already, yes. People who are getting into it / want to get into it, see it as an amazing shortcut.

    I had two working students already, who thought and communicated that they don't really need to learn programming, because they can do it with ChatGPT / Q. It was quite infuriating.

  • I was so hyped when I saw the trailers, because the visuals and ideas of the story they showcased were exactly my jam. But oh boy, what a dumpster fire the whole movie turned out to be.

    Edit: yep, still goosebumps watching the trailer

  • Of course those people existed before, and were just as evil as they are now. But before Trump they didn't get to act on their evil traits. With him on top, and more and more like minded in top positions, they can finally act with impunity. They don't need to fear consequences anymore. And that is absolutely related to Trump. So fuck Trump.

  • The developer is a cash hungry idiot, with no intention to ever listen to the community.

    The community is great, battles intense, and the skill ceiling sky high. Sailing mechanisms second to none.

    There's a lot more ships than the DLC ships. But yes, it's almost inevitable you will end up buying a couple of them, because the DLCs let you spawn a ship for free every day.

    I stopped playing when the Dev decided to split the already low-populated PvP server into two separate instances, which is currently being reversed (to noones surprise).

  • Linux @lemmy.ml

    power and lock screen management
