All the memes I send to my friends on messenger basically come from Lemmy. I always have to download the image and use the phone image editor to crop it by one pixel. It then let's me save it, and it saves as jpg/png by default.

The point is Messenger doesn't allow sending WEBPs

Even Apple finally admits that 8GB RAM isn't enough ( www.xda-developers.com )

There were a number of exciting announcements from Apple at WWDC 2024, from macOS Sequoia to Apple Intelligence. However, a subtle addition to Xcode 16 — the development environment for Apple platforms, like iOS and macOS — is a feature called Predictive Code Completion. Unfortunately, if you bought into Apple's claim that...

Same here. When idle, the apps basically consume nothing. If they are just a webserver that calls to some PHP script, it basically takes no RAM at all when idle, and some RAM when actually used.

Websites and phone apps are such an unoptimized pieces if garbage that they are the sole reason for high RAM requirements. Also lots of background bloatware.

derpgon ,

Why? Fuck the corpo, not the people who make the content.

derpgon ,

How is that bad? Less pollution and garbage, no need for as much housing (thus dropping house prices), no need for as many stores, vehicles, resources.

And less shitty parents, less homeless people, less crime. I see that as an absolute win.

It was almost 100 years ago, but yeah, everything leads to Hitler eventually.

Alright, I should have prefaced this with "I assume society is working, there is no racism, corruption, non-cis non-hetero people have sufficient rights, and the government is working as intended."

Of course, unfeasible right now.

Zelensky: 'Our partners fear that Russia will lose this war' ( kyivindependent.com )

President Volodymyr Zelensky believes that Ukraine's partners "are afraid of Russia losing the war" and would like Kyiv "to win in such a way that Russia does not lose," Zelensky said in a meeting with journalists attended by the Kyiv Independent....

What economic positions did they occupy, exactly? All they had were raw resources - coal, oil, gas, and maybe wheat. They can't produce anything else of value.

Maybe it is all a plot by Bosnia to have (meaningful amount) of direct sea access.

Shell sold millions of carbon credits for carbon that was never captured, report finds ( www.cbc.ca )

Shell sold millions of carbon credits for reductions in greenhouse gas emissions that never happened, allowing the company to turn a profit on its fledgling carbon capture and storage project, according to a new report by Greenpeace Canada....

derpgon ,

Well, if big companies can get carbon credits, why can't I? Biking a few miles a day should yield me some, shouldn't it? Because I'm not using a car? Sure, I breathe more, but it's still less CO2 than by using a car.

derpgon ,

Yeah, you can basically tokenize anything ad absurdum. This kind of highlights how carbon tokens are just a PR move and nothing else.

Same bere, about 4 hrs on the record, and such a well polished Early Access games is hard to find. Apart from a few nuances, it plays like a charm.

Hades 1 was absolutely phenomenal, Hades 2 is, as far as I can see, will be too. The constant voice acting just adds so much to the game.

Backfire 2, Steam refund boogaloo when?

Once again, Arrowhead decided to go with Sony as publisher, they agreed with PSN account linking. No offense, they are are an independent studio, they did not need to do that. It is sad they lost money, but the developers already got paid. The worst thing that can happen is they have to switch jobs.

I mean, who would've pulled the sudden influx of players? The game being popular was expected, but not in such huge numbers.

derpgon ,

Maybe try with whatever website sold it to you. If it was gray shit like Kinuin, AlleyShop, G*A (censorship to not give them SEO), you are outta luck. If it was HumbleBundle, Fanatical, or other legit sites, it might be worth a try.

It is literally how the company started. It was supposed to be flat-sharing platform. Not sure where it all went to shit.

I don't think it caches the password. Rather a decryption key is derived from your password and is used to unlock the encrypted blob.

I started to wait a year or two before I try them, that usually means they a) they got most bugfixes, b) additional content and c) they are on sale.

I can turn it on and off on my Samsung, it is called Hiya. Not sure how other phones have it.

That game kind of haunts me to this day. I tried it first when I was too young to understand game mechanics or English. Then, after several years, I tried it again. Got farther, but got stuck on some cryptic shit. Tried it after several more years and I was even more confused how many mechanics the game has.

Care to explain why "Valve is a terrible company" and "Steam is an awful platform"? Surely, it has tons of porn games (that you can hide), or shitty games (that is hard to sort through), or CS:GO item gambling problems (don't really care). But I kind of fail to see how the company or the client could be fundamentally bad.

derpgon ,

Yes, I agree that 30% is a lot. But let's look from another perspective: If a developer, for ease of calculation, sells a game for 30$ on Steam, he receives 20$. If he sells it on a competitive platform with 5% cut (that's 6x less than Steam) he gets 27$.

However, Steam is way bigger, and if a developer can sell the same game more times on Steam (33% more times to be exact), he breaks even.

More people to buy = more people to play = bigger player base => more people buy it. It is a poaitive feedback loop.

I am not arguing that 30% is good, all I am saying is I understand that Steam has to take a big cut to pay for the features it provides for "free" alongside the usual game content (cloud saves, community, workshop, utems, etc.).

derpgon ,

To sum it up: about the same as any platform where people can interact? What's so FOMO about a game being on sale if it's gonna be on sale next week aswell?

I fail to see how Steam Market is so bad, it is not possible to redeem the cash (unless you do it via black market, which is against the TOS), so all money is still in the system. Yeah, it is being used to do unregulated gambling, but it's a regulatory problem which should be handled by the countries to define what gambling is, and shut these sites down. Why the fuck should Steam care?

NFTs in crypto space are a joke, and everywhere else they are basically in any online software, failing to see the point here.
