I have heard that you don’t need a lawyer in small claims court (in the sense that it’s not really expected). Like I said, though, I know little about it. Maybe someone in a position to know will show up in this thread and fill us all in.
Whenever I see posts like this, I wonder if they cover manual loop unrolling, which these days is usually an optimization left to the compiler.
Control+F, Duff’s Device
Yep, this post mentions it. Good for them. :)
I think the US small claims court is meant to handle situations like this (although I know little about it). I wonder if it’s available to litigants from other countries.
All desktop environments are fancy compared to a simple window manager.
I guess that makes sense. I haven’t used Discord in a while, but I think tags are less noisy over there, since they don’t render as something long like @someusername@somelemmysite.example.com. I avoid unnecessary tags on Lemmy because all that extra syntax makes for cluttered comments.
More power to them
:)
I try to keep in mind that no matter what the thing is, I can always still spoil it for some people…
…or introduce it to some people.
The tag notified me, so mission accomplished. You don’t need to tag someone when replying to them directly; Lemmy notifies them about replies.
Your description reminds me of Doki Doki Literature Club, which also takes the dating sim visual novel format in unexpected directions. To avoid spoilers, I can’t say much more than that, except that it’s free and that I found it interesting despite all these things being far from my usual taste in games.
Not to be confused with Khaaan!
The title of this post should probably include the words console and mobile.
The unfortunately paradoxical thing about opt-out services is that using them requires giving out your details, and hoping that they aren’t (deliberately or accidentally) leaked.
CoreLogic defended its practices as legal, saying it’s too difficult to verify consent or anonymise personal data.
And this is what needs changing. It should not be legal for them to have it, nor for anyone to give it to them, in the first place.
Gemini is not just a delivery protocol. It also specifies a content format.
I mentioned Electron only to acknowledge a well-known cross-platform toolkit, not as an example of acceptable results.
Tauri on Linux is effectively a Gtk wrapper (plus WebKit), which makes it unappealing to me. I keep it bookmarked anyway just in case I find myself in a situation where the only other option is Electron, since I suspect Tauri would at least be lighter on system resources.
be as portable as possible
This is important to me, which narrows down my options quite a bit.
Electron is portable across desktop OS, but unacceptably bloated (I don’t want my users to have to deal with that) and buggy (I don’t want to deal with that).
wxWidgets and various similar wrapper libraries exist, but on Linux most of them wrap Gtk, which in recent years has become very opinionated in UI directions that I find intolerable.
A few new cross-platform GUI toolkits have been appearing recently, but I’ve found all of them suffer from poor text handling, anemic widget sets, or very out-of-place look and feel (especially keyboard navigation) relative to native applications.
That leaves Qt as my only reasonable choice, at least for now. This is mostly okay, as it does a wonderful job all around. My main complaint is that using the full power of its widgets and libraries means I’m restricted to a handful of languages: C++, Python, and maybe one or two minor ones like D. Its declarative API (Qt Quick) seems to be getting more language bindings, though, so simpler apps might be possible in other languages.
Note that the landscape is different for mobile apps. I don’t have a recommendation for those.
“Feel,” “happy,” “comfortable”… Privacy doesn’t care about your feelings.
The motivation to do the work, spend time learning the risks and available mitigations, disrupt existing social relationships in order to adopt better tools, inconvenience friends and family, partially isolate one’s self by avoiding the popular systems… all of these things are part of improving privacy in the real world, and at least for many people, fueled by a person’s feelings. Don’t discount the human factors just because you can’t quantify them.
- distributed server network controlled by many entities (resilience)
It only fully meets the first criterion, yes. But personally I give it a bit of credit for the second too, in that it belongs to a non-profit foundation with multiple stakeholders, somewhat like Wikimedia.
These two things are not at all equivalent, or even comparable.
No, they aren’t. They are experimenting with it in certain new device drivers. No move is planned, and it’s too early to tell whether there will ever be one.
