It's smart. Also, developers have a solid benchmark to set their games to. Console has long had the benefit of a stable hardware set over the course of many years, which makes it easier to develop to the broadest possible market. Skipping incremental APU updates has a benefit of keeping a longer benchmark for game developers hoping to boost sales by targeting the market with handhelds. Valve was pretty clear in their communication in this regard, which is great.
Smart. Flush money down the toilet trying to impersonate Trump by not paying your bills. Maybe he should run for president.
Howdy folks! This week I'll be looking at the setup some lemmy bots to support the community as we start getting into games and news. First thing will be auto game threads. Second would be a sidebar updater with standings and upcoming games. Are there any other regular posts that we should consider posting here as a matter of course? Weekly pinned general threads? Any thoughts?
Math checks out, yep.
I'm thinking of attempting to automate game threads. The other community I moderate has one running and it's useful for regular posts and I assume the same could be done here. Also would be useful for updating the sidebar with upcoming games and recent results.
That's what I told her. I'm in Oregon and she's in Minnesota. I think it's just new and different for her. She's afraid of an "unwelcome element" coming into her suburb 🙄.
I was using it as a description of the age of my mother. She just happens to also personify the stereotypes of her generation as well. I love her, but I roll my eyes when she tells me about her latest scrap with a city council member and the interaction she had with the developers of the piece of land being developed near her house.
My boomer mom is all up in her suburban town councils business because she's afraid there is going to be a "marijuana shop" that goes in across the highway from her neighborhood in the strip mall that's being developed.
Anti-drug propaganda really did a number on that generation
Would you hire a dev with no comprehension of the task, who can not reliably communicate what their code does, can not be tasked with finding and fixing their own bugs, is incapable of having accountibility, can not be reliably coached, is often wrong and refuses to accept or admit it, can not comprehend PR feedback, and who requires significantly greater scrutiny of their work because it is by explicit design created to look correct?
Not me, but my boss would... wait a minute...
Google Chat replaced hangouts and is not E2E.
Google Messages is the Android default SMS App, at least on Pixel phones.
The issue: You find a link to a neat lemmy community on some random instance. In order to subscribe, you have go to your instance, search for the community, find it, open it, subscribe...blah!
The fix: Use a simple browser bookmark to go to your home instance and open the federated community in one click.
This works through modifying the URL of the page your on and puts the host name (e.g. lemmy.ml) after an "@" symbol after the community and then changing the host name to your own, hard-coded one.
How to steps:
Create a bookmark in your browser and then "Edit" it.
Change the URL to this text (modify the "lemmy.world" bit with whatever your home instance is):
For lemmy.world users:
javascript:(function(){location.href="https://lemmy.world/c/"+location.href.match(/(?:.*)\/c\/(.*(?=\/)|.*$)/i)[1]+"@"+location.host.toString();})();
For lemmy.ml users:
javascript:(function(){location.href="https://lemmy.ml/c/"+location.href.match(/(?:.*)\/c\/(.*(?=\/)|.*$)/i)[1]+"@"+location.host.toString();})();
Change the name of the bookmark to whatever you want. Mine is named "lemmy.world".
Now, from any federated community main feed page, click on the bookmark and you'll magically be taken to the same community on your local instance. Magic!
Disclaimers: The community must be federated with your instance. You can only do this from a URL that has the community in url (e.g. not from a post or anything).
Gah, so excited! Weather should be good right?
