Just want to add to that, NFTs aren't inherently about artificial scarcity, they could also be used to track ownership of rights or real life items without a central authority that everybody needs to trust.
Of course, cryptobros immediately went to pushing them as an investment scheme, and the actual implementations are slow, inefficient, and downright expensive to use. I don't think anybody has managed to make NFTs actually useful, but I imagine the original creators weren't looking to create... Whatever this is.
I don't know enough to say how accurate the numbers are, but the sentiment stands - if it's a password you're memorizing, longer password will probably be better.
Doesn't change the voting situation. Since your votes need to be seen by other instances, Lemmy needs a mechanism for federating votes. Since instances are untrusted, there needs to be some way of preventing manipulation. Thus, AFAIK, Lemmy simply shares your votes across instances, letting each one tally them up. As a side effect, any server admin of an instance you can interact with can also get a list of all your votes.
Having two different configurations of assets requires making a system that can switch between them, separate deployments for them, some way to actually fetch the asset pack by the users, testing to make sure both configurations work correctly, actually deploying the separate asset pack during an update, and then spending time fixing bugs that inevitably come up with any added complexity.
Could they do it? Absolutely. Should they do it? Probably.
Would there be no downside, no tradeoff? Claiming so is plainly ridiculous.
Dual booting is problematic, as mentioned you're messing with your partitions and could mess up your windows partition, but also windows can, unprompted, mess up your Linux bootloader. As long as you're careful with partitions and know how to fix your bootloader from a live image, there's no real issue, but it's worth keeping in mind.
By the way, I recommend rEFInd for the bootloader when dual booting, it doesn't require configuration and will detect bootable systems automatically.
A VM sounds like a good idea to try a few things out, but do keep in mind performance can suffer, and you might especially run into issues with things like GPU virtualization. If you want to properly verify if things work and work well enough, you'll want to test them from a live system.
As a final note, you can give your VM access to your SSD/HDD - if you set that up properly, you can install and boot your Linux install inside a VM, and later switch to booting it natively. You still have the risk of messing up your partitions in that case, but it can be nice so you can look things up on your host system while setting up Linux in a VM.
The steam version of trackmania is quite weird - I looked for a way to pay for it through steam for a while before resignedly going into the Ubisoft payment in the overlay... Only to be directed to steam for payment. I'm not sure if it's even possible to pay through Ubisoft when launching it from steam.
I can tell you that that's also what I got. The way confessions work, the priest gives you... "penance" is what it might be called? What you need to do to repent for your sins and be absolved of them. Usually that's some prayer, but they can tell you that you have to turn yourself in and admit to your crimes to the police.
I have no idea if priests actually do that, and I imagine with the secrecy it'd be hard to get any information.
I think the main pain would be manually aligning the frames on every line with every change, occasionally having to extend the width and updating every line of code to match it
I got the impression that the PolyMC situation was quite different, with that developer masking it and doing a minority of the work, but after one change made by the rest of the developers they snapped, used their control over the repository to remove the rest of the maintainers and take sole control over the repository.
I was aware of some shenanigans and hostility from PolyMC and never used it, but I got the impression there were no major outward signs before that happened?
Yes, but the issue is that the lemmy.ml maintainers are the Lemmy developers. The people who created the software, and continue maintaining it, are the same people who created the instance.
It's the well-known question of if you can, or should, separate the art from the artist. By funding, in its current state, the development of Lemmy, you're supporting the people running an instance you disagree with. Unless you're willing to take up the work to fork and continue development yourself, you can't detach them, you either support both or none.
My phone keyboard can't comprehend what I'm about to write, looks like I'm on my own...
Aren't rizz and gyatt separate though? Isn't it that you want to have one of them, either rizzin or using that bussin' gyatt, as you put it? Or is it that "skibidi rizz" is the gyatt, because skibidi=toilet? Am I reading into it too much?
Outer Wilds. The game isn't very text-heavy, but what there is feels important and personal. With the way the story is told, it is quite possibly my favorite story overall. I don't want to say too much, since knowledge is key in that game, but I would highly recommend it.
Git exposes a lot of internals through odd commands, so I suspect you could manage synchronization by sending changes over email or something.
Bonus fun fact: there's a git bundle command that "dumps" the repository into a single file, that can be interacted with as a remote. So if you're ever working with a local repository and want to put it on a server over ssh or something like that, you can just create a bundle, scp it over, and clone from that on the server.
Fundamentally, the repository you have on GitHub is the same thing as the repository you have on your computer when you clone it. Pulling and pushing are shorthands for synchronizing commits between the two repositories, but you could also synchronize them directly with somebody else who cloned the repository. As somebody mentioned, you can also just host the same repository on two servers, and push to both of them.
The issue is that git doesn't include convenient features like issues, pull requests, CI, wikis, etc., and by extensions, those aren't included in your local repository, so if GitHub takes them down, you don't have a copy.
An extra fun fact is that git can be considered a blockchain. It's a distributed ledger of immutable commits, each one representing a change in state relative to the previous one. Everybody who clones a repository gets a copy of its entire history and fast forwards through the changes to calculate the current state.
I don't think that's right? I know polish has a separate word, and sampling in Google translate seems to show separate words in German, french and Spanish. Maybe I got lucky and hit the exceptions, but it seems to commonly be a separate word.
Eh, I've previously fucked up my bootloader, all you need to do to fix it is boot up a live image, mount your root partition, arch-chroot into it, then follow normal steps to set it back up - it's not scary if you know what you're doing, just time-consuming
