  • The water is just sitting there, not eroding through salts.

    Is the ocean still or famously active?

    But all jokes aside freshwater is salt free because it has been distilled by the evaporation/cloud/rainfall part of the water cycle. When rain falls in the ocean it mixes pretty quickly.

  • When I give a digital game as present I go to the shop to print out the cover art on photo paper and then put it in a card. It gives them something they can immediately look at, handle, and discuss.

    Here are a few I've used recently, they are more literal than the cartridge era but they are still artworks in their own right:

  • I went digital in 2018 when:

    • I had a switch case with my game cards stolen,
    • I swapped from PS4 to PS4 pro and Xbox One to One X,
    • my son started walking and getting his hands on everything.

    At that point physical games seemed riskier than account based digital purchases.

    The mid gen refreshes may seem like a bit of a non sequitur but they felt like new platforms and it was a clean break from the physical era.

  • sign near a sick/old person name

    With postal voting and mobile polling places the sick and elderly are given opportunities to vote in Australia.

    Even without those facilities it would take a fair bit of effort to identify and sign for a statistically significant number of sick/elderly.

  • There is some lemmy.world sure but also:

    If a topic suits the philosophy of its lemmy instance its more likely to attract a healthy population. Then when I'm looking for a community on a topic it doesn't really matter which instance that community is on.

  • problem is I have no idea which of these communities is "best"

    Its a bit basic but so far I've just gone with the largest population. Usually I'm just after the most activity and that generally scales with population. It keeps things relatively simple.

  • My time sheet totals 37.5 hours of work per week and I can take take a lunch break of 30 to 60 minutes. The break is unpaid and a minimum break of 30 minutes is required after 5 straight hours of work so the lunch break is mandatory.

    Typically this works out to 7.5 hours work with a 30 minutes break totalling 8 hours on site. Smaller breaks are untimed so if we need to stretch our legs or get some fresh air no one is watching the clock. We also have a pretty good culture of not interrupting people's lunch with work issues so that does feel like an actual break.

  • Well I guess it meets the letter of the law :/

    They can choose between either affirmative acknowledgment:

    (A) The seller receives at the time of each transaction an affirmative acknowledgment from the purchaser indicating all of the following:

    (i) That the purchaser is receiving a license to access the digital good.

    (ii) A complete list of restrictions and conditions of the license.

    (iii) That access to the digital good may be unilaterally revoked by the seller if they no longer hold a right to the digital good, if applicable.

    Or a notice:

    (B) The seller provides to the consumer before executing each transaction a clear and conspicuous statement that does both of the following:

    (i) States in plain language that “buying” or “purchasing” the digital good is a license.

    (ii) Includes a hyperlink, QR code, or similar method to access the terms and conditions that provide full details on the license.

    Without a requirement to declare any restrictions (e.g. non-transferability) or revocable nature of the license the notice option is pretty toothless.

  • Most apps will be built using libraries to provide functionality.

    For example a Lemmy client might use a small database to store cached data on the device so it doesn't have to redownload data as you navigate back and forth. Rather than writing their own code to create and maintain the database that functionality is available as a library they can import into their app and use immediately.

    There might be dozens or even hundreds of libraries in any given app, this is great in that the app developer can focus on their app specific features and not worry so much about the low level features but these libraries also have their own release schedule and may only support security fixes on their current version.

    This can result in a situation where you could have weekly or monthly updates just to include library updates even if you haven't added any features directly to the app itself.
