I judge it on a case-by-case basis by just looking at a few recent commits and the feel of clicking a few files in the repo. For OpenLogi I get the wrong type of vibe code vibes and at the very least that means the project might become an u

Netherlands here. Most people I know (outside of gamers) tend to have a laptop only if they have one for work anyway, they use their phones for banking, tax, searching the correct spelling of words etc. That's in the age groups from li

Think the last time I used a pen is about 8-9 years ago when I had to sign something to buy my home. Notes and stuff I just write on my phone or computer and I don't see what else I'd use a pen for.

I feel like one of the most "extreme" examples here can be Path of Exile. Complexity there is high enough(I can't really think of a more complex game from the top of my head) that planning out how you're going to play(ma

Makes it much harder to target ads(unless you generate separate video files for every separate audience).

Same, and I watch a lot of Youtube. I've never even seen the warning yet. My theory so far is that it's because I'm on Linux and they're guessing Linux-users tend to do whatever they can to avoid watching ads anyway so w

I assume they mean ads for other shows on the same platform(at least Netflix and Prime Video do this), which in my experience not everyone sees as "ads" in that sense(I still do myself).

That's true yes. Most of the Path of Building stuff is datamined and/or tested ingame. Interesting that they declined the shop idea, guess they dislike people touching anything to do with their monetization.

I think the current pricing of Reddit's API isn't meant to recoup costs of maintaining the API, it's meant to kill 3rd party apps so people switch to the official app, which shows ads. It's not so much the cost of mainta

There's also the argument that at a certain scale the time of a developer is simply more expensive than time on a server. If I write something in C++ that does a task in 1 second and it takes me 2 days to write, and I write the same th

For me a lot of streaming services have simple stopped working(Amazon Prime) in Firefox or are limited to 720p(Netflix), even though I have the DRM stuff enabled in Firefox. So I use it to be able to stream my "Debian ISOs" in at

I remember when the latest DOOM title added a rootkit for anticheat. I had like 4-5h of playtime but still got a refund when I gave the reason "I didn't buy a rootkit". Not in Australia either.

Iirc it's not even an actual law, more of an agreement between all news organizations to not publish names like that. I seem to recall Geenstijl(Dutch "news" site) publishing full names and not getting in trouble over it.

But what if people have multi-word passwords? At that point the solutions become so over-engineered(either use some ngram-like setup to detect passwords being posted or save a hash for each separate word of the user's password, which a
