Arguably, the fix should be to "it" since anon is a utility account, not a user.

footnote 3: And by extension: any feature that speeds up the audio or video we consume

I disagree that speeding up something is the same thing at all. Playing something at a constant rate (faster or slower) still maintains the editorial choices that the author was talking about.

I speed up plenty of things I listen to, and it's not (primarily) to get through them quicker.

Across the world it's the case that city folk tend to speak quicker than their rural countrymen. American speak slower, on average, than Brits. And that's fine! However, I find it hard to maintain focus when the speech is too slow - so speeding it up allows me to enjoy it like intended.

I definitely agree that the trim silence feature sound awful.

In Deep Space 9, Jake Sisko (the station commander's son) is a journalist for the Federation News Service. There's a good episode where he ends up in a war zone and the story covers cowardice and PTSD.

This a great answer in a sea of slightly odd food choices. It's healthy for kids to do this, apparently.

I'm happily oblivious much of to (I assume) US politics, so I'm going to read this as if you're talking about Magic the Gathering.

I think part of the problem is that even when you're subscribed to the small communities, it's easy to miss the posts. Sorting by Scaled helps a little, but I still often find a post from days ago that I missed.

I'd like an option where you could "super subscribe" or something which makes those posts show up first, or even in the inbox.

I've enjoyed what I've done with it so far, which is mostly little wasm projects. Once they finally get a proper editor I think it'll really pick up adopters.

No, it'll be fine 99% of the time.

Nowadays, feature detection is done within browsers, and the differences between browsers are small enough that servers generally will serve the same version of a page to all.

The fact that it's Nintendo's IP seems the key thing here.

So did Nintendo get Valve to do this, or is Valve just covering its back from the notoriously-litigious Nintendo?

Maybe it'll be like the final episode of Attack on Titan where the last season was split into multiple parts, and the final part was split into multiple chapters. Was it also a two partner? It got stupid, anyway.

Ah, ok, that makes more sense. That also solves any ordering problem if you, say, you're running local and elsewhere commands and a sync means pressing up gives you an unexpected item.

Sync seems like it's going to be more pain than its worth unless you have all your machines configured the same. I'm not even running the same distros between machines...

I've just installed this from your recommendation and it's brilliant. I love the amateur graphics, it just adds to the charm.

Agreed - it's 25 minutes without filler or repetition. Good stuff.

I think you linked to the wrong page; that one's about the different types of roots and root systems.

I'm not sure what you're asking. Do you mean Lemmy communities, Lemmy instances, or something else?

Bad link 👎

This article seems to be an incomplete pasting of an old article: What Did Ada Lovelace’s Program Actually Do? I was suspicious when it said "A contemporary interpretation of Ada's punch card stack using JavaScript might resemble the following" but didn't have any code.

The real tl;dr is it calculated terms of the Bernoulli series.

Tris, who's behind the excellent No Boilerplate YouTube channel offers mentoring. I don't know if he has spaces or if he's in your budget, but he's got experience explaining things and clearly knows his stuff.

If you're on Windows, you can use Win + .

If you're on Linux, try ctrl + shift + e

I'm surprised you say you don't know what the 😭 face means, since it's just exaggerated crying. Is it because they're too small, or that you suspect there's some implied agreement/subtext you're not party to?

I can see why people wouldn't know what something like 🍆 is used to represent, since it's not for the intended (I assume...) use.
