Ironic because it's literally the same situation that Reddit was going through that caused the migration to Lemmy in the first place

I have no idea who Hexbear is, but it's well documented how th IMF and World Bank work to endebt developing countries to the US's corporate rule and then steal all their resources... Are we... Not allowed to talk about that here?

So exciting! For some reason it says "Coming soon" on my Galaxy Fold tho

Same here. People keep raving about it but I find it so boring. No story, no adventure or exploration, just a step above a random number generator in terms of strategy or puzzle

Nah that's more of a spoiler vote. You need one large competitor to Chrime, not a bunch of small ones that can get wiped out

I guess they have a pitchfork shortage or something

Looks like the hill has fur

How did they submit changes to only one file? Did they not write a test for it? Sounds like a dodgy patch if it doesn't have a test

And if you can save it to Files, only like two apps can open it and it's random which ones

I got it bundled with my YouTube Music subscription. Definitely worth it, especially considering you'd pay the same amount for Spotify and not get any videos

Yep. The WHO just declared aspartame (diet Coke sweetener) as a carcinogen.

They're finding microplastics everywhere now. Even like inside apples and stuff: the plastic somehow travels up the tree into the fruit

And how has ad tracking personally harmed you or even inconvenienced you?

Nah. I would hate to live in a country that bans personalized ads. It would be like living in the 90s watching cable TV seeing completely irrelevant tampon and baby ads as a single dude.

Personalized ads are much less annoying than the "spray-and-pray" noise we used to deal with.

Heck I would settle for just seeing a post from a person once I my feed, instead of seeing the last reply, then other posts, then the second-to-last reply, then after a lot more scrolling finally seeing the original post.

The problem with chronological feeds is that prolific posters in your timezone just take it over and you never see stuff from people in other timezones or infrequent posters.

That's wild that shared ptr is so inefficient. I thought everyone was moving towards those because they were universally better. No one mentions the performance hit.

I used to write a lot of performance-critical Java (oxymoron I know) for wearables, and one time I got a code reviewer who only did server-side Java, and the differences in our philosophies were staggering.

He wanted me to convert all my code to functional style, using optionals and streams instead of simple null checks and array iterations. When explained that those things are slower and take more memory it was like I was speaking an alien language. He never even had to consider that code would be running on a system with limited RAM and CPU cycles, didn't even understand how that was possible.

I'm flabbergasted we're getting no metroidvania love in here so I'll list my two favorites: Hollow Knight and Blasphemous. Both with sequels coming out this year which I'm so excited about!

I like that idea. A twist on it would be to divide the votes on a post by the total vote count or user count for that instance, so each instance has the same proportional say as any other. e.g. if a server with 1000 people gives 1000 upvotes, those count the same as a server with 10 people giving 10 votes.

Does it have a feature where you can feed fake GPS locations and contacts to apps that require those permissions to work? Loved that in some old Android ROMS
