If you can do an advanced lobby in a Celeste modpack you definitely have skill!

Also +1 for Celeste and Strawberry Jam

which I regarded for how light and well optimized Windows 8.1 was

I don't think I'm alone in saying "light" and "well-optimized" are not words that fit the Windows 8.1 experience.

Mediocre in almost all aspects is the best descriptor for 8.1 and honestly that's pretty generous given how bad 8.0 was

A lot of sheep need their wool sheared off in the summer to survive. They'll die of heat exhaustion if it isn't. That being said, it's entirely humanity's fault for selectively breeding those sheep and probably not the case for wild ones.

Lemmy.one shut down so I wouldn't use that one anymore

I use refind also, there should be a setting somewhere to let refind scan entries from other EFI partitions. I have that setup and just created a second EFI partition for my Linux setup, so that Windows has no idea Linux even exists. I even have everything running off of the same drive (my laptop only has one nvme slot) and I haven't had any issues.

Please don't throw one of the only cities in the country with a semi-functional public transit system into the sun :(

Didn't know it only applied to UWP apps on Windows. That does seem like a pretty big problem then.

I don't still have a Mac readily available to test with but afaik it is any application that uses Apple's packaging format. It could also be that it needs to be in the "Applications" folder, but I'm almost certain it isn't an App Store exclusive feature.

I mentioned Linux specifically because something like this is the hardest to set up on Linux. I (wrongly) assumed that since you were complaining about it not existing, you were on a platform where setting these permissions up isn't straightforward. App-specific file-acess permissions are on MacOS out of the box as a configurable setting for all applications (in the system settings menu), and I'm pretty sure Windows 10/11 has something similar in its settings menu as well.

Edit: Also, if we're being pedantic, this is also a setting on both Android and iOS, with Android displaying the option to change access pretty much every time you pick out a file.

Not sure what platform you're on but on Linux flatpak can limit access to files, and things like AppArmor can do that for any native app as well (though it can be pretty tedious to configure)

I think the problem is that the Matrix Foundation (non-profit org) is being slowly cannibalized by Element (for-profit, VC-funded) which ends up making their costs and profit expectations a lot higher.

Right now this is only impacting the matrix.org homeserver. However, this could eventually end up impacting protocol-level design choices that harm other instances as well. Sure, you could fork the protocol and clients, but now we're talking about taking up the work that an entire organization had previously been doing. Not impossible if an existing organization like the FSF or Linux Foundation started backing something, but not a great place to be in either.

Edit: grammar

Reminder: Most devs actually care about the things they make. This is a management/timeline problem, not a developer one.

I don't think I used it until chapter 9. To me it's useful for harder-difficulty levels like ch. 9 and modded levels where you don't really get any time mid-level to stop and think about where you need to go next. For those levels the telescope helps out a lot

Did some digging and I think it's these projects:

This works, thanks!

I don't think it's a process ID? I have 2 virtual pipewire devices (one called "chat-mic" and one called "chat-speaker"). Pipewire devices (nodes) also have ID numbers, but they are assigned when the device is initialized on startup and aren't guaranteed to be the same between reboots

I'm headcanonning this comment as the finger gun scene from Komi regardless of whether or not I'm right

The prison system also doesn't actually make a net-profit even in the US, it only makes money for specific people (the owners of the private prisons and the systems benefitting off of prisoners' free labor). The government actually loses billions of dollars per year maintaining prisons 🙃

Oh damn fair enough I didn't look at their profile

If I get blocked, oh well 🤷. Who knows what could be the thing that opens up someone's eyes?

I have a lot of family members that I was pretty close to before they started being MAGA fans in the past year or 2. Maybe it's the optimist in me but I'd like to hope that people can realize how much widespread hate and damage Trump (and conservative media in general) is causing to the US.
