Apple just shoots itself in the foot with proprietary APIs that nobody else supports. Why should Valve write an additional translation layer for an OS that's less used than Linux? macOS was always bad for gaming, it merely got worse.

Wayland takes a conservative approach to feature requests. Disabling screen tearing goes against their zero screen tearing goal. Other features, such as X11's remote capabilities, are unnecessary baggage and a security risk. Yes, people who use the remote capabilities kicked and screamed, but they now have Waypipe. Turns out building that into Wayland itself was unnecessary after all, a 3rd-party app made it happen. Their primary goal is to not end up like the mess that is X11.

Thanks for bringing this to my attention, I'll defederate the instance. I think the entire concept is fundamentally flawed. I want to see organic content. I want to interact with people on social media. If someone finds interesting content on Reddit, they can repost that content here manually, and talk about it with others. Bots are what I hated most on Mastadon, I won't let them ruin my Lemmy experience.

Did you read the article?

Yes, it takes surprisingly long for the OOM killer to take action, but the system unfreezes. Just wait a few minutes and see whether that does the trick.

I found a Model M for 105€ on a local auction website. I'll go check it out.

Excuse me? Is that a torrent client with a proper API? Impossible.

If someone must explain to me what code does in comments, then I think that code is bad.

Developers invented high-level programming languages for a reason. If someone writes bottom-top, unreadable code with comments, then they might as well write top-bottom, readable code without comments instead. That's what I believe self-documenting code is.

But if someone explains to me why code does what it does in comments, then that's fine. Essential complexity exists. The point is that that code is readable already, we know what it does, but not why. That's what needs an explanation in comments.

I believe that Git is decentralized. Because people choose to use Git hosting services doesn't make Git itself centralized. Git doesn't force you to sign up on GitHub, GitLab or Bitbucket. You can use git-appraise to get decentralized code reviews. You can use git-bug to get decentralized issue tracking. You can always send maintainers patches with the built-in send-email command as GitHub/GitLab/... require an email address either way. You can always clone and push the repository somewhere else. Most (self-hosted) Git hosting services provide an automated migration procedure for issues, discussions, etc.

Someone needs to test and find the bugs so that the corporate users get a good experience next year.

I guess Microsoft didn't like that their support staff cracks Windows with HWID activation using MAS when their infrastructure breaks down for legit licenses.

Breaking news: Company wants more money.

When was the last time wages kept up with inflation? Games are entertainment. Money won't be spent on entertainment when push comes to shove.

They can always charge 999999999999999999999999,- € for games. Keep the following rules in mind:

• Demand always exceeds supply to an absurd degree.
• Price elasticity doesn't exist.
• The average willingness to pay for games is way above the 8,40 €, approaching infinity, contrary to the European displacement study on page 170 paragraph 4.
• 100 % of game pirates will buy games if they can't pirate games, therefore DRM good.

Fuck around find out basic economic rules.

Everything Hetzner, not only their VPS.

Yep, I also assume that's why natural scrolling is called natural. Everyone here was forced to learn traditional scrolling due to historical reasons that someone else pointed out. Now everyone thinks that's natural, even though that's not the case. An acquired taste/preference.

Desktop environments should default to natural scrolling, but provide the option to use traditional scrolling, so that everyone is happy, but traditional scrolling dies out when everyone here is dead for the sake of people who're learning how to use computers today.

Ayo WTF

Linking to images should be illegal

Hahah... of course, phishing doesn't exist, right? Your SMS app knows that the website you paste your code into is the legit one, right??

This is poorly worded, but I agree with the sentiment. Firefox feels like a skeleton crew with not much backbone to me. Remember when they dropped support for JXL because Chrome dropped support, even though everyone else supports JXL? I feel like Firefox falls behind Chrome in terms of feature parity, and supports features only if Chrome supports the feature. Firefox also ships with Pocket, perhaps for monetary reasons, but who knows.
