This will only provide user accounts that work over all gitea instances, right? Or is there something else a federated git can provide?

It‘s not a traditional Might & Magic game (maybe it just carries the name for brand recognition) but I love „Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes“ it‘s very simple the extremely fun. I would love the have a browser version with online multiplayer for that. The mainline titles were always too tedious for me.

At this point it seems to me that their „claim“ to be a secure and honest encrypted messenger has hurt them more than benefitted. Techies blast their custom „encryption“ and cry about the „not secure by default“ chats. The media only mentions Telegram in the same phrase as terrorism and how Telegram enables terrorists to communicate securely.

It‘s an amazing platform though and I wouldn‘t want to go back to something more basic. Once you „get“ the bots, broadcast channels, etc. it‘s really amazing. Signal is perfectly secure and great but it feels like going back to pen and paper after using email. I see it as a social platform akin to WeChat or Discord and am perfectly happy that way.

This has been the case in Windows 10 for at least a year.

The other way round. Only creators will be able to see the dislike count, probably in their dashboard

While I do think a space like 4chan is needed it is worth judging a platform on how it affects people outside it‘s walls and I do think it is okay to take action against spaces that have a tremendously toxic and negative affect on people not involved in any of that. Of course this is not straight forward and mistakes will be made.

I get the "trickle-down effect", new ideas, engineers, etc. tend to get around but I remain sceptical that this will lead to the same incredible perf leap in other products. The iPhone with it's chips has been around quite a while the Apple Watch a bit less so but Qualcomm's chips still seem significantly behind. If this is wrong please do correct me, this is just my observation.

Flutter is much closer to a "game engine" as it draws it's components using Skia [1] compared to e.g. React Native that creates platform native elements. So you are right, you won't get the underlying platform's widgets. Flutter should act as an intermediary and make this as frictionless as possible though so OS level changes will be propagated or exposed by Flutter or your app directly accesses them but I have no practical experiance in this.

This is not always so cut and dry awful as you might think though. The platform native widgets also have limitations and expectations that might not fit your vision of the app so even fully "native" apps might re-invent the wheel in a couple of places to make things work as they want. Also I've hardly ever come accross an application that works by just combining the basic platform widgets and not look and feel pretty basic.

Also cross platform apps not respecting e.g. Zoom, Resolution, Orientation, A11y, etc. is more often than not, just the developer's not implementing the required things. The framework might support all of these use-cases but not fully automatic in some cases.

I wonder, is it actually competition? Apple will never sell any of their Chips to OEM partners so they will have to make do with whatever AMD, Intel, nVidia, Qualcomm, etc. sell. Will it actually lead to more people choosing a MacBook than any other Laptop? With these prices I‘m not so sure.

It seems like the Keys of one of the issuers got leaked, not the root keys so it looks like the fallout might be confined the the people who got their cert from that issuer (seems to be a french one). Or am I missing something?

I would love to have a reliable device for at home Neurofeedback training bit I find these products quite questionable, especially of they have dry electrodes, also they require correct usage as muscle contractions can easily kill you readings. Researching which ones are BS and which ones might be usable is also quite difficult as I have not found a reviewer who is knowledgeable in the subject, if you know one please comment, I‘d love to figure this out.

I was also quite surprised, other benchmarks I‘ve seen before have shown it to be just slightly behind Python.

It's the successor to AdoptOpenJDK: https://blog.adoptopenjdk.net/2021/03/transition-to-eclipse-...

The two big issues I always had with ORMs are automatic joins and inheritance.

I‘m probably just not knowledgable enough on how to use e.g. Hibernate „correctly“ but modeling any entity with inheritance was a recipe for disaster at some point. Also Collections and Hibernate were an incredible pain.

DB stuff is not the thing I‘m very good at (as probably gleaned from my comment) but even pretty basic stuff kind of fell apart pretty fast at any sort of non-hobby scale. At the same time I dread handling transactions and de/serialization more manually…

I really, really love all the retold stories people experienced while playing the game (embelished or not), two of my favourite:

Bronzemurder - https://dfstories.com/bronzemurder/

Bravemule's Matul Remrit - https://www.bravemule.com/matulremrit

Webapps connected to a blockchain, mainly using a browser extension.

I‘ve tried the C&C 1 campaign when the remasters got released. Wow, the difficulty is brutal. To the point where it just doesn’t feel very fun anymore. I‘ve mostly been playing Tiberian Sun and RA2 as a kid and can‘t remember them being this hard.

It‘s really tiresome how it‘s become the normal to market all kind of fantasy interpretations of your value proposition and banish all nuance to legalese documents. ProtonMail has enough to justify itself, it doesn‘t need all the over the top claims of Swissness or blunt statements about privacy that are only half truths. They could also do without their spintastic, content marketing blog.

Yes, pretty much. Also with some limits on the available extensions as everything runs in your browser.

Google allegedly forced Android OEMs to not ship devices with a pre-installed Fortnite / Epic Games Store launcher.

Also forcing users through multiple warning screens and settings until you have finally installed an app might look trivial if you know what you are doing but for everyone else might not be as easy. There are many, many articles about how you should simplify your websites onboarding process to increase the amount of customers so the Android flow is pretty much the anti-thesis to that.

O365 is a big pain point for Swiss banks. It's tremendous work to even assess the situation and you have to try to get straight answers out of MS in regards to every last detail of every feature.

From the little knowledge I have about this, it might not even be enough for MS to guarantee that the no data leaves EU borders but simply the fact that MS is a US company could be enough for US courts to force them to exfiltrate data. Not sure if this is correct or if they already have a company structure in place that would prevent this.

As much as I would like to see more competition thanks to this, I think at the end MS will figure it out and they will remain the dominant force.

TBH external displays have always been a problem on MacBooks, at least for me. Starting at issues with sleep/wake, random interruptions to not supporting any daisy-chaining.

In extension I had issues with all external peripherals from Apple that I tried. USB Apple Keyboards that stopped working unless you plugged them in with the extension cable (wtf?!), to the atrocity that is the magic mouse, to AirPod Pros getting super confused with multiple devices in proximity.

Too bad the meat of the problem was seemingly cut together into a 5s part before moving on to the iMessage stuff without any context or explanation. So there are multiple levels of auditability so you don‘t have to trust apple or countries even if Apple says „yes“ (which I guess means if Apple says yes to changing the database, but is not explained in the video). Would have been great if the main crux of the issue was not just glossed over.

I‘m not a game dev but we used it for an AR feature where I worked. We only needed 2 seats, so not a big customer. There have been some stupid interactions with Unity:

- Pestering us for weeks about urgently needing to arrange a call with us and repeatedly refusing to tell us what it is about over Email, turns out one of devs didn‘t activate his seat and another user created an account with his work email an they thought we were abusing the license.

- Back then they offered build server licenses but there was nearly nothing in the docs about it, only „call us“. So we did and we had to arrange a call with one of their partners advising us on our use use (dynamically generating assets over an API). All of this boiled down to: 5 Instance license for the price of a normal seat.

Why all of this required hours of my and my co-workers time in calls is beyond me. All if this could have been done with like 4 mails max.

It‘s not only Unity‘s issue. I can‘t even create an AWS account anymore without someone calling me to talk about my „use-cases“. This insistence on personal calls and account managers is such a drag. Just feature your contact points prominently on your page and explain your offer publicly. I‘d rather have someone competent answer my mails than talk to someone who is just going to schedule another 3 calls because they are only sales people.

I‘m a bit taken aback by the responses I read here. Honestly I have no clue how anyone can be so dismissive of his story and situation as some of the people in these comments here.

I only know of Rook, Longhorn and Portworx. I heard Longhorn is heavy on the CPU, but I‘ve not used any of them yet.

"he’s just the scapegoat" - I see him being called a "scapegoat" a lot in this thread but is there any indication of his innocence in all of this? I'm not saying that he is "guilty" but calling him merely a scapegoat seems premature.

Luckily Astartes was not shut down but absorbed: https://twitter.com/astartes40k/status/1369666193989111808?s... hope the creator gets to achieve what he hopes to do with GW.

If you want more than just local disk (directory/path on the node the pods currently reside on) you will have to deploy your own storage provider to handle PVCs (on k3s at least). According to Microk8s docs, it's the same there.

Regarding macOS they write "On MacOS, as OpenGL is being deprecated, we will also supply builds based on ANGLE (over Metal this time) so the editor and exported games using GLES3 continues to run." but the ANGLE Readme says that GLES3.0 support is "in progress": https://chromium.googlesource.com/angle/angle/+/main/README.... with no status for all the following .X versions.

Is the ANGLE Readme just outdated in regards to Metal support or am I missing something?

This would also mean that Vulkan won't be an option when developing on macOS, right? Or will something like MoltenVK be shipped as well?
