seriously,who has time to use a ping pong table at work? It's like a decoration to remind you you're not having fun.

Do you believe Lemmy/Mastodon can become mainstream and fully replace their centralized counterparts?

I don't think UX will be that big of a problem, in the past the unofficial reddit apps were all better than the official one. Major companies design by committee and the UX is meant too maximize profit and engagement statistics for advertising, rather than be "good". A lot of open source UIs are better than their paid counterparts. I think PopOS is far nicer than windows 11.

Even Toyota is doing this now. They locked features like the digital tire pressure gauge behind a paywall on their app.

PSA: When people ask you "What distro should I use?", try pointing them here
There are way too many answers after you finish this quiz. You should recommend, at most, three options after the quiz. This doesn't help narrow down your options much at all.

thrown into a backend project as a backend dev with a language I don't know, how fucked am I?
Have you used Java before? It's not a big leap from Java to C#, most of the concepts are the same. At least C# is a memory safe language, although I'm not sure if you're unfamiliar with the code base and languages if it really makes a difference which language you use here. Hopefully your coworkers can help hold your hand a bit here, this situation sucks.

Sleeping dogs is a great game. I never liked any GTA games or anything else in that style but I fell in love with that game. Great combat, fun story, great atmosphere and and beautiful representation of Hong Kong.

Lemmy is just too small so it doesn't attract the same hard core crowd that it did on reddit. Lemmy also promotes controversial comments by default.

It's hard to play Fallout 3 when New Vegas is so similar and so much better.

Developers will stop building once there aren't any customers left, which absolutely does happen in countries that allow high density urban housing.

If they built more apartments, apartments with good sound proofing would be more common. I used to live in Taiwan, and every cheap apartment I lived in had excellent sound proofing.
Once there is more competition in the apartment/condo market, quality will go up.

A comparison between Okinawa (built for cars) and the rest of Japan
I hope they can get the base relocated and that heavy rail project built. Once the main trunk line is done, the transport issues should start to be relieved quickly. When I visited Okinawa I was struck by how American it felt. I think it's a good experience to visit, it reveals how much of what we consider "Americaness" is derived from car centric infrastructure. At least Japan doesn't have batshit zoning laws like America, so it should be easier to fix.

I think the joy cons make it great for party games, it's really convenient to get a 4 player game of Mario Cart going with just two pairs of joy cons.

If new evidence exonerates a living person, they can be released. You cant bring an innocent dead person back to life.

Spotify’s first US price hike for Premium is coming next week
It's a reasonable increase considering recent inflation, and safe since YouTube just raised their price too. In the long run I would be worried for them since YouTube premium is a much better deal if you don't care about Spotify's exclusive podcasts.

I think the meme makes more since for any digital connection, where it's literally impossible for the cable to make a difference to the sound quality. I have seen some wacky shit online, like claims of gold plated optical audio cables.
