I guess the primary difference is between legally free speech versus socially free speech. The argument being that the government shouldn’t stop you from slinging slurs, while you have absolutely no right to not be ostracized/shunned/shamed by your fellow man.

I speak English, I studied Latin but have not kept up, and I know a tiny bit of Japanese and French.

I have had a comment of mine removed from .ml for (correctly) indicating that hexbear is not a trustworthy instance.

All fair. I haven’t tried either with the Deck, though that’s more because I don’t want to try games from either platform with a controller. I have had success running both on my Linux desktop, though.

This is just my experience, but I have had next to zero issues running games on the Deck that were related to the platform. Most problems I’ve encountered are along the lines of the game being KBM-centric and it being difficult to play with the controller inputs.

The only Linux-specific issues I can’t think of are related to trying to install or mod games outside of Steam (Skyrim in particular is far more difficult to mod on Linux than I expected).

And it’s so ridiculously good. The NYT even wrote an article about it.

Most users of Windows aren’t editing the registry, no matter what problems they encounter.

For power users that do use regedit, I’d argue there’s still a gap between that and using a shell. The registry can be edited entirely with the Windows graphical utility, after all.

If you’re on Linux (or Mac), add an alias to your .bashrc:

alias activate="source env/bin/activate"

Now you can activate your venv by just running activate in the project root!

every fucking mobile game ever

Hey now, there are some (very few, but some) mobile games that are quite good. Dawncaster is an excellent deck builder for example.

Seems legit as a concept, though the author is giving weird vibes.

I’m not sure what “globohomo” means but it sounds like a 4chan homophobic term. Additionally the author says they wanted a search engine giving results without “political inclinations”, which reads to me as “reality has a liberal bias and I don’t like that”.

I’ll pass on this for now.

There was some brief hullabaloo where some nobody on Xitter claimed M$ was considering the buying Valve for 12B$. No sources, no credibility, but some news sources started talking about it like it was news.

What about a live service Titanfall game in the same vein as Helldivers?

I would instantly buy a ticket if they got ProZD to do it.

Damn. Thanks for sharing, friend.

That sounds too absurd to be true. Source?

Groovy!

It’s such a joy to use the closure system, whether iterating over a list with each or removing redundant references with tap.

I dabbled with CLisp a while back, and I loved it – but I’m not sure what problems it solves. Do you mind expanding on that?

Holy God, what the fuck?

Probably so they can re-check you in the future when you inevitably renew your contract.

Not that I agree with that. It should only be stored as long as it takes to run the check.

Real answer: when people finance their phones, the provider needs to check their credit to confirm if they’re actually eligible.
