Yeah if you play ssf you sidestep these problems entirely and then the only problem you might have is simply just inventory management (which also only comes up in the lategame)

You can easily get through PoE1’s main campaign without paying a dime
Someone also posted a video of them essentially getting through the “midgame” of path of exile in 24 hours without paying as well https://youtu.be/JeIDCxQhZM4
However, during that midgame he shows that he really starts having trouble with the lack of stash tabs for trading. It’s doable, but that’s kind of where you start hitting your limits
All in all, if you play for the main campaign it’s essentially just a free game, and if you play without trading the game is still designed to be somewhat doable. Really the only thing you miss out on is trading
As a nix user, guix looks legit nice but it took me until 2 days ago to actually find community projects made for guix(https://whereis.みんな/) . Sometimes I just wish they used the same store and daemon as nix so that nix packages can work as guix dependencies and vice versa.
(Also major thing stopping me from using guix is I don’t get service types at all, let alone how you’d define your own service :( )
Very cool!
What are you on about? The open letter was specifically advocating against sponsorships and advertisements of the Military Industrial Complex. I.E. private companies who specifically try to turn a profit from countries going to war. Companies that literally earn money over people’s dead bodies. I think the people that wrote the open letter were very aware that being sponsored by the military was something that is hard to avoid. However there is a clear difference between being sponsored by a military and being sponsored by, like, literal death merchants
This Arch story reminds me a lot of a r/talesfromtechsupport story that went remarkably similar but had a less happy ending for the Linux enthusiast, where he basically disabled the TPM and couldn’t access the company network because the network seemed to only allow trusted machines.
Can’t find it right now but maybe I can do some digging once I’m on a computer
Isn’t there usually a yellow pop-up on the top of the screen showing microphone and webcam controls if they are active? I think that’s how you control it. Now this isn’t per-tab control, but it’s better than no control at all I guess
ah I think that’s where I’m at odds with a lot of lemmy NixOS users then 😅, since I am and have always been pretty hesitant to recommend NixOS to anyone in particular. I find the upfront costs of NixOS too big for me to recommend the OS to anyone who wasn’t already looking into it and knows its downsides and upsides.
I do agree however on the fact that using nix is purely beneficial. It doesn’t hurt if you just add a .nix file to your project, since it doesn’t do any harm to an already existing project. It can just install your build tools and then consider itself done, and if you don’t happen to like nix after all, the new installer makes uninstalling easier than ever. There is pretty much no downside to downloading the package manager, something I can’t say about the OS.
Having said that, I don’t think nix should be the end-all be-all standard in package management. I’m sure there will be other package managers that will be better than “nix but with yaml sprinkled in”, and are capable of improving the state of the art. At least, that’s something I hope to happen. For example, I have reservations about using a full-blown programming language for doing my project configuration (see people’s problems with Gradle for why you might not want that). I think a maven-style approach (where you’d have just limited config options, but can expand the package manager’s capabilities by telling it to install certain plugins (in the same config file!)), could be worth looking into, and I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t on the look out for a potential better nix alternative
I mean seeing how people here act after having been on nixos for a few weeks I would say it’s an apt comparison. I swear we weren’t that obnoxious when I started using the distro in 2019 D:
Whatever metric they use to track installs has to prevent abuse like this
I would be eagerly awaiting a follow-up response from unity from this, because as it stands right now, consensus among gamedev circles is that unity won’t prevent abuse at all, which is just awful for multiple groups of people.
Yes but it would have been nicer to have a transition period in which both methods are supported for a little while so that you don’t literally break every extension in existence up to this release
Idk I don’t tend to look at the clock when I fall asleep, but I do know that whenever I accidentally fall asleep while watching, say, a PBS spacetime video, I pass out for no less then about an hour
Also I have no clue how the other people here figure out how long it takes them to go to sleep, because as far as I know, looking at the clock just keeps you awake for longer
I just embrace impermanence. Fediverse is not much other than some other person’s server, and if the instance owner decides he doesn’t want to host his instance anymore, you’re just gonna have to cut your losses and move somewhere else. It’s not as if the entirety of Lemmy is gonna stop existing at once.
The real threat to Lemmy’s existence is the maintenance of the software. If that stops, there are 2 options, either someone forks it, or the medium slowly dies out as no one feels like hosting outdated software anymore.
In that case (which, might I add, is unlikely to happen), you’re gonna have to cut your losses, and move to a different type of social media
Yes but actually not by much, !technology@lemmy.world has 37.7k subscribers, which is their biggest community
Death by:
IIRC their reason was world got pretty big (still is) and spam was coming to the instance. So beehaw decided to defederate until world solved their spam problem. However, as they say, “out of sight, out of mind” so beehaw may just forget about refederating world if they do fix the spam. Who knows
I’m pretty sure the title implies this will be the first STRAND TWO type game
Wendy’s tried to get into the Netherlands, but couldn’t, because there was already a snackbar (think small fastfood place but greasier) that was registered under the name “Wendy’s” at the chamber of commerce. This spawned a lawsuit. You had Wendy’s, a local snackbar who claimed rights to the name because they were already established, and Wendy’s, a franchise coming from America. They claimed right to the name because they were a franchise, and not just a single fastfood joint.
To solve this issue, the local snackbar opened up a second location, making local Wendy’s a franchise, and winning them the lawsuit
Honestly all of the mysims games I played were the shit when I was a child. Don’t know what I would thing about them today though but
