What's your favorite animation and why?

Reply in thread

It is! Or rather, on the world and character of the game, but not really the game itself I guess, from what I can gather 😅 tbh I think it's an advantage to not be familiar with the game, because that way I wasn't able to foresee some of the twists and character developments that are quite obvious to someone who knows these characters. Definitely check it out, both the animation and the writing are absolutely top-notch! Just, uh, have tissues ready

Well, am I!?

I mean, I get your point, but I feel like this is something different. I sailed through school and university with great grades with barely any effort, never felt any kind of pressure around that on me. The worst it got was the occasional vocab test that I put off learning for until the evening before. I liked school. And I still get this kind of dream occasionally. So at this point, it seems more like anxiety will just latch onto that kind of thing, whether it was actually traumatic or not

Bun 1.4 Rust rewrite is not looking good

Reply in thread

In case you're not aware

They literally mentioned anthropic by name, so I'm pretty sure they're aware 😅

And there's also already uv, which is a package manager for Python, written in Rust, so clearly the Bun rewrite should be possible.

Bun is a whole lot more than a package manager, though. It's also a full JS/TS runtime, bundler and test runner. So I don't think that's a great comparison

Bluesky already doing enshittification

This has absolutely nothing to do with enshittification. Bluesky doesn't need that redirect to know what you're clicking on. You're already on their platform, they can already track every single click that you do while on Bluesky including navigating to outbound links. I'm a bit shocked that nobody here is calling that out to be honest

I don't know about this case specifically, but I own Alan Wake on steam which has since been delisted because of music licenses running out. At least for that one, I still own the game on steam and can download, install and play it normally whenever I want, it's just that people cannot buy it anymore through steam. If you're lucky, it's gonna be the same with the adult swim games.

Immich might not hold up yet in every aspect to Google photos, but I was and am still blown away by how much better face detection and grouping works. I cannot believe how ridiculously bad that feature is in Google, you just have to pray that it works, and if it messes up, it's extremely annoying to fix. In immich, it works exactly as you'd expect.

Child rapist Steven van de Velde weeps in first interview since Olympics outrage

Reply in thread

we're going to ostracize you from society forever

That is very different from simply not wanting him to be a representative for his country and potential role model for aspiring athletes in one of the biggest media events of the world though. Being welcomed back as a member of society is one thing, but there is a point to be made about expecting more of Olympic athletes than your average member of society.

What? Since when does Valve prohibit companies from redirecting customers to non-Valve purchasing flows? Because that's what this ruling is about, it says Apple can't prohibit apps from telling users to go buy off-platform for lower prices. Valve isn't doing that with Steam afaik, actually I'm not aware of any other platform that does this

Capitalist logix

I mean, you're not wrong, but your point is also kinda meaningless. Of course, you only ever do things because there's something in it for you, even if that something is just feeling good about yourself. If there was truly nothing in it for you, then why would you do it?

But that misses the point of the "people are inherently selfish" vs "people are inherently generous" discussion, because it's not actually about whether people do things only for themselves at the most literal level, instead it's about whether people inherently get something out of doing things for others without external motivation. So your point works the same on both sides of the argument.

Email came out of nowhere

Reply in thread

they specifically excluded those symbols from the email they sent to German accounts

And even that they fucked up, because it seems like they just removed them from the German language version of the email. German accounts set to English (like mine) got the symbols like everyone else.

I hate whoever that was

I suspect the reasoning for it was more along the lines of "if you're pasting the password, that means you probably saved it in a text file on your desktop or something, and you shouldn't do that so let's stop you from doing it". In reality, it probably didn't work to make anyone store passwords more securely, and only made life unnecessarily harder for people with password managers
