If you think four years of technical debt is a lot, wait until you hear about Microsoft Windows.

Didn’t Miyamoto say that this is the new template for Zelda? Or at least something along the lines that this is the direction they will be heading in.

I’m expecting the next to be quite different in some extend (not as equal to BotW/TotK), but I am expecting the open world to be here to stay at least.

It’s not like the government is exactly paying fair wages themselves either. Ask any teacher, nurse, researcher or anyone else working in the public sector.

As a scientist, I’d get a major wage increase if I’d switch to the private sector. I mean I’ve got a PhD in physics, and I’m making $43k per year before taxes. Not meaning that as a complaint, just making the point that the government is not exactly treating their laborers much better.

After inflation being in double digits, I got a wage increase of 2%, at least the private sector averaged on 7% or so.

Honestly my hope is still that the EU intervenes, which I consider to be around 50% given they’re a generally a bit of a mixed bag when it comes to regulations.

When Apple becomes my last hope, I’ll know times are bad. Having said that, it’s one of the parties that may actually oppose. The other big guy that may have some power in this, Microsoft, is probably more likely to adapt this catastrophe of an idea.

I’ve traded sports and breaking news commentary in Twitter in for Reddit about 10 years ago.

Not sure where to go now. Lemmy doesn’t have the volumes (yet at least) for the same amount of user engagement with these events. Perhaps it’s better like this anyway, no use being that engaged all the time.

Have become? If anything, iOS have historically been getting more customizable over time not less.

And I don’t think it’s really accurate to compare iOS with MacOSX and earlier, entirely different systems with different use cases and form factors. I’d recon if Apple released a phone in 2002 it’s be just as locked down.

Not trying to defend this by the way, just surprised by the usage of the word “become” here as if it used to be different for iPhones.

No offense, but how do you manage to get banned from Reddit? A certain sub, sure, but the entire website?

The led can just be put in the speaker grill though, I think my old HTC did this.

Same reason it’s legal in most western democracies. Freedom of speech, it’s not against the law to burn a book. Similar demonstrations (Quran burnings) happen just as often in e.g. Denmark and Norway, seriously loon it up, the reason I suspect Sweden suddenly gets a lot of attention for it is mainly political, with them trying to join NATO.

Having said that, there are laws against incitement against ethical groups. The reason this is not treated as such is that its considered religious critique which is always legal.

I’d personally argue that this has very little to do with religious critique. These people haven’t read a single page of the Quran in their lives. This is clearly to provoke an ethnical minority. So I could definitely argue that it shouldn’t really be allowed. Not because you shouldn’t critique Islam or any other religion, but simply because this is nothing but a provocation actively trying to hurt/offend an ethnic group and get a reaction of out of it, but that’s not how the courts interpret the law.

Would that even count as a crime in the first place? Interesting either way, didn’t expect that would trigger a ban on the website.

Again, can totally see that happening on a sub, but giving the amount of vile that has been given a free platform on the site I didn’t think they’d bother.

I honestly don’t really see it, I think vanilla GNOME looks amazing, while KDE Plasma just screams Windows 7 to me.

Having said it that, both are great DE’s with vastly different approaches. So these can definitely just co exist, while we can both agree that both DE’s are great for different people and workflows.

I’m sorry, we’re not force pushing on anyone without explicit consent from the maintainer over here >:-(

Reddit used to be open source as well

The joke is still equally valid. It’s not like Red Hat died or they’re abandoning RPM packages or anything. They just (try) to kill off the RHEL clones, but that doesn’t really affect RHEL in any way. (At least not directly)

The Settlers used to be such an interesting series, I wish they’d find their form back again at one point.

You can add an outlook account to the gmail app. You may have to add it as Microsoft exchange instead of a regular Outlook account though, but the process is the same.

Isn’t abolishing the death penalty part of the requirements? And there’s some more that makes it simply unrealistic to think it’s happening in the next decade or two.

It doesn’t default to dark mode, it defaults to the system setting. It’s light on my device.

Which any self respecting site should be doing either way, it’s not difficult to implement, at all.
