  • As you got invited by OP would you mind sharing your invites too? Asking for a friend me.

  • Someone complaining that Google chose "privacy over functionality" was not on my bingo card...

  • But what if your name is not Ian...

  • I think you have realized that every comment here was about your decision not to use Git. I don't think there is much more to say about this...

  • You don't have to. Absolutely not.

    But: As a potential user it provides some additional features your solution lacks. I can easily fork or clone your repo and change things if I need to. If I think it benefits the project I can easily offer these changes back to you, if I don't I can still profit from future development on your side and incorporate my changes into it. I can very easily check what has changed between two versions without relying (trusting) your changelogs or performing a manual diff.

    But most importantly it is a matter of trust. Not so much trust in your intentions and the possibility of malicious code (Git won't prevent that), but it obfuscates your code unnecessarily making it harder to continue if you at some point decide to stop maintaining it or even detect vulnerabilities as it is not easily accessible without knowing where to look for it.

  • Some BIOS manufacturers allow you to disable all halts on errors. As soon as you connect to the network your system should be able to sync its internal clock.

  • I like the idea, but may I ask why you don't use a version control system like Git (or anything else that fits your needs)?

  • No. The only screenshots in my steam library are of some glitches I took screenshots of because it looked funny. And at some point I had a script running in Counterstrike that took screenshots of the game results.

  • Child of light

  • I think the real question is not if it's possible (it is), but what you are actually trying to achieve. It seems like you have this idea, but I'm not sure if you really understand what it means. Maybe you can describe, why you want to host a Lemmy instance yourself...

  • I don't think so. If the app is doing something useful it will stay. If it provides just a wallpaper, a static PDF to read (think of user manual apps) it will be removed.

  • I would have never considered dishwashers to be a loud appliance, but maybe that's just me.

    Bosch also had an advert some years ago where they advertised their newest vacuum to be so silent you could run it next to a sleeping tiger. But to be honest if there was a tiger sleeping in my living room the last thing I would do is start vacuuming...

  • Siemens and Bosch home appliances are from the same company. BSH (Bosch Siemens Hausgeräte) also produces Neff, Gaggenau and some other brands.

  • The first one was already fantastic, but the second one topped in terms of writing, art style and music in particular. They reduced the amount of experimental level mechanics though.

  • To be fair: Piranha Bytes would have ceased to exist years ago without them...

  • Because the crew sees itself as researchers, scientists and diplomats. There is no reason to have a hazard team. We can assume that the encounters we see on screen are only the unusual ones...

  • That is really a missing part of this whole thing. I get that I could build something myself, but I don't want to have the hassle of doing it and keeping it working all the time (because I am able to build it, but not on a "works perfectly all the time" level). I really hope that sometime in the future there is a standard for smart speakers (and screens maybe) that allows me to add them to my cloud service of choice.
