What does that have to do with any of this?

Are you just trying to start a whimsical side conversation?

They're identical to what they were in the original drive, I've verified it in gparted on a live image.

It's driving me crazy because I can literally find this drive by that UUID in a live image, but when I go to boot the system has no idea what that is.

Except it's not... Ohio has Cedar Point, Kings Island, several well recognized museums, lakes, large state parks and a national park, hiking trails, bike trails, kayaking, just as diverse of a food culture as any other state in the big cities, 3 large metro areas, stadiums, concert halls, etc

The worst thing about Ohio for years has been the Republicans in the state house and this craziness that it's somehow a boring state. If you can't find things to do in Ohio, you haven't tried.

I feel like the mainstream millennial slang was pretty tame.

Maybe this just means I'm officially old now.

Ugh, I hate gen Z's slang. It's just nonsensical babble and meta references...

Glad to see such a quick reaction on this! These seem like several good changes in the right direction.

I personally haven't hated the new UI but it's definitely a step backwards in several ways and the negative reviews on Steam are almost definitely hurting the game.

It looks like they're going to be able to make changes to it and turn things around quickly; which is a pretty big relief.

This seems like a joke from some Michigan school teacher ... similar to how a lot of Ohio State football fans say *ichigan and things

This also worked for me; played for several hours last night, the game was running great!

These things are like arguing about whether or not a pet has feelings...

I'd say it's far more likely for a cat or a dog to have complex emotions and thoughts than for the human made LLM to actually be thinking. It seems to me like the nativity of human kind that we even think we might have created something with consciousness.

I'm in the camp that thinks the LLMs are by and large a huge grift (that can produce useful output for certain tasks) by virtue of extreme exaggeration of the facts, but maybe I'm wrong.

The concerning thing is... I can't tell if you're joking.

A problem I've personally run into is a lot of reviews focus entirely on MTX/monetization and this can turn into a fun game getting thrown through the floor because the corporate side decided to put in a bunch of optional purchases.

I'm not saying monetization doesn't matter ... but sometimes I really don't care ... like Lego 2K Drive has a bunch of MTX bricks I'm never going to use and the option to grind them out with a lot of play time (another thing I'm not going to bother with). Those reviews almost definitely really hurt the sales of the game (which I did end up getting and it's actually quite solid in terms of PC kart racing) and probably killed any chance of it ever living up to its potential.

Artifact Classic (the card game by Valve) also got review bombed to hell about monetization (and that one I get a little bit more because you had to buy card packs) ... but if you actually play the game (and you can for free now with all cards unlocked)... I found it to be a really fun card game. I and all my friend stopped playing when Valve announced they were just going to redo the whole thing... I suspect a lot of people did the same thing which caused the chain reaction of "nobody's playing our game... this looks hopeless..." and the eventual abandonment of both the original game and the rework Artifact Foundry (which I ... didn't particularly care for). The people I know that knew about the game that didn't get the game said the negative reviews basically immediately disqualified the game from consideration for them.

They're probably not talking about using git, since git is decentralized by nature. You can use git without an Internet connection and then sync everything back up when you have an internet connection again.

Some people literally call GitHub, git and ... they're just wrong.

They also might be talking about review and project management facilities GitHub provides as a service.

The WW II US rail network is loonnnnggggg gone and doesn't really have any effect on the modern day. What remains is mostly freight rail run by a few oversized rail corporations... and they're surely in no hurry to abandon their diesel engines.

There's also not huge political pressure because rail is already a very efficient way to transport goods. Spreading rail would have better effects than electrifying rail.

Just because there's a "rule" that exists somewhere in the abstract, that doesn't mean folks should assail people for innocent mistakes. It's also not a rule of this community. It's not a rule of the instance this community is a part of. It's most definitely not a rule of "the platform."

In fact, these the W3C (the body most people are seemingly citing as a source for rules) isn't even calling their "rules", rules. They call them "guidelines" https://www.w3.org/WAI/standards-guidelines/.

Ya, I'm colorblind, but you're probably not and you probably didn't think about it. You're just some random person on the internet, you've probably got plenty of other things to worry about than hunting down the latest WC3 publication on accessibility.

To be clear, I do let folks know if there's a chart I'm interested in reading that I can't read, try to give feedback about colorblind relevant stuff, etc. (literally last night I was on the Deadlock forums giving Valve accessibility feedback). I just do it in a "matter of the fact" fashion and try to explain what I'm struggling with rather than with an attitude and command that they change something without any context.

I actually didn't realize their was support for alt-text. The clients I've used the few times when I've posted images ... I don't recall even prompting for alt text.

That seems like a lemmy limitation that probably needs worked on (i.e. prompting for alt text for images so apps can just read the alt text and folks are reminded to think of it).

EDIT: It's been brought to my attention that the Lemmy server software actually does support alt-text ... but I'm not sure how prevalent this is with clients (I don't remember ever seeing a prompt for it).

I'm colorblind for what it's worth and I don't go around yelling at people for making badly colored charts I can't understand in the rudest way possible.

The image captures the web page design / the cookie banner, it's more than "just the words" so for a non-blind person "just post the text" is actually arguably a downgrade.

It's truly crazy how much our information gets shared these days and how long it lingers.

My house spent a few years as a rental. I still get mail from people who haven't lived here in over a decade (despite deliberate efforts to stop it).

My grandpa signed up for ever "store card" you can imagine to get all the deals and rewards programs. His landline virtually never stops ringing... On August 5th alone he got, no joke, 43 spam calls (I have his landline hooked up to Jolly Roger Telephone to try and filter some of this out and help him out, so I'm forming that statistic off of the emails from them).

It's completely ridiculous and all of it needs to stop.

Is it really so hard to copy and paste the text look at the image? Down voted. Don't do that again.

They tried to block Telegram before and Telegram staged a counter offensive with proxies that kept them online in Russia and made the Kremlin look like fools as they broke the Internet in some places trying to block Telegram.

AFAIK Telegram has much higher market share in Russia. Keep in mind it's easier for an authoritarian to "flex" and block smaller fish.
