Then I would suggest you to re-read the article and spend a minute to think about how that relates to how the technology can be abused. I'm not sure I can make it more obvious, and honestly if feels like you don't understand it in bad faith.

You asked how it can be abused. This is one way it can be abused.

If it's computer, it can be hacked. Doesn't have to be the car company itself that does the spying, though considering the track record of American companies, it wouldn't surprise me. It could be you local police department, your distrustful partner, etc...

Tesla workers shared ‘intimate’ car camera images, ex-employees allege: ‘Massive invasion of privacy’

Please refrain from using the word "retard" as a slur on our instance in accordance to our user rules.

I don't have any experience with pipx and personally prefer to just skip the .toml and place the whole pyprojectsetup in setup.py.

With that method, I would write inside setup()

    
packages=find_packages()  # Include every python packages
package_data={  # Specify additional data files
    'yourpackagename': [
        'config/*'
        etc...
    ]
}


  

This would however require you to have a package folder which all your package files/folders are inside, meaning the top level repo folder should not have any files or other folders that you want to distribute. Your MANIFEST.in looks fine.

If you believe it's an bug with our instance, try making a post over at !meta@programming.dev . Posting here is unlikely to grab the attention of an admin unless the post gets reported (which it did). Before that though, look up if isn't just the more likely scenario of a general lemmy bug/quirk caused by mismatched lemmy versions, etc...

I don't believe for one bit that windows will move to a pure subscription based model. They are greedy, but not stupid.

What's more believable is that the base OS will be the same as usual, but if you want fancy AI assistants in your OS, you must subscribe, with the justification being that MS must pay for the servers running the models you're using.

Boost really should just update the UI to simply show how many upvotes and downvotes a post has. No reason to stick the inferior sum total of all upvotes and downvotes that reddit prefers.

Stickied post would work just fine yeah, can't really expect the developer to set up a public repo for just tracking features. Hopefully Ruben takes notice.

if Valve isn't selling at a loss to poorer regions then they are simply extracting additional profit from higher-income regions on the assumption that those customers can afford it.

Valve can't sell for a loss the same way ebay can't. Valve simply takes a percentage of the price everytime a game is bought, publishers are in complete control of the price they want to sell. Often, publishers will let Steam automatically set regional pricing based e.g. the American price though.

The way these publishers operate, they will simply set the price at the highest possible value to extract as much as money ad they can from those willing to spend 60+$. Those unwilling or incapable of spending that amount of money, will just buy the game later on a sale. Price skimming has only become more and more prevalent in PC gaming with steam being the "innovator" of frequent sales.

Yes I did read it. I was pointing out that all this will do is screw over citizens of poorer EU countries. India vs USA was simply to make it obvious why the concept of geo blocking makes sense. Germans will on average have stronger buying power than someone in Latvia.

Steam is a storefront, not a competitor to game publisher. It's effectively no different than Lidl agreeing to run a regional rebate program for Samsung TVs in Latvia for whatever reason.

The geo blocking enabled cheaper prices for certain countries, not higher. The only people who would have an issue with it is people from richer countries that for some reason are jealous of lower prices in some countries.

Localised pricing is good though? Is it really fair ask someone in India to pay the same price as an American? If you can't geo block keys, you can't stop people taking advantage by using a VPN to buy games from whatever country got the lowest price. The result will just be publishers keeping the high price for every country, screwing poorer regions over.

Also, what they did wouldn't really qualify as price fixing.

Nynorsk supporters just never quit do they. Half the country wants it gone and less than 10 percent of the country uses it, still it's on the list while Swedish and Danish aren't, lmao.

Lovely work, Jerboa is nice, but old habits die hard and boost is what I'm used to.

My only complaint is that BankID won't allow me to pay to remove ads, but that's not really the fault of the app.

Can anyone who is a moderator confirm that they don't have access to mod tools? As an admin, I can't see an option for checking out reports, or for a way to ban/purge users. Seems like I still need the Web browser for those things.

Aren't people notified when mods removes their stuff?

match isn't a protected keyword like if is.

    
match = 0
match match:
    case 0:
        print(0)
    case _:
        print(1)


  

Is legal and will give print out 0.

That's interesting, thanks for the reply

Might as well start with a solid foundation from the start though. The extra work is minimal so there isn't much of a time cost to it. I wouldn't call it overengineering, it's just a different way to write code, and the way many naturally default to without really thinking about it.
