- Comment on A Destiny-style social hub is "on the feature list" for Helldivers 3, says Arrowhead CEO 5 days ago:
I’m pretty sure all of the melee weapons are medium pen, that the light pen listing is inaccurate… But I’ll not 100% positive on that

The rotating shop isn’t really FOMO, at least not anymore… Only the most recent few superstore pages that release with warbonds are rotating, the rest are permanent, and another permanent one gets added every time they release a new warbond. So, if you miss it, it’ll probably come around a few times before going permanent.

There’s nothing pay-to-win about it. You can pay to unlock warbonds, but you don’t need the warbonds to perform well at the highest difficulty, it really isn’t that hard to get the super credits to unlock a warbond in game, and even once you’ve unlocked the warbond you still need medals to unlock the items in the warbond (which you’ll get while getting enough credits anyway).
If you’re still on the vanilla warbond, focus on unlocking that… You’ll have enough credits for a couple warbonds at least by the time you’ve gotten though a substantial portion of it between the credits in the warbond and just drops that you’ll pick up while playing.
Just… Play to enjoy the game with friends (or randoms), you’ll have those things faster than you think, and pick warbonds that have weapons and strategems that seem interesting to you (can even pick up primary and support weapons from teammates to try them out and see if you’ll like them… Just ask first ;) )

Also, don’t ever trust companies to do anything they promised with the clear intent to garner good will, especially if the promise is years away
- Comment on Root cause for why Windows 11 is breaking or corrupting SSDs may have been found 1 week ago:
This.
And I didn’t even realize just how exhausting it had gotten until I switched and, even with having to relearn how to do certain things, just never felt like I was having to fight with it. It doesn’t change things and move things around on you at random, it doesn’t pester you constantly to do things unless you explicitly set it up to do so, doesn’t shove an online account down your throat, force you to accept updates on their schedule including reboots when you’re trying to get something done…
No, my machine is my machine and it does what I need and tell it to do, not what some multi trillion dollar company thinks it should do.

I already did update, to Linux. Haven’t run into those kinds of issues since.

Cloud, blockchain, now AI… They’re all good for some things but I swear the execs making decisions subscribe to my Aunt Fran’s philosophy with cheese: if a little is good, way too much must be even better!

The fact that it’s in retaliation for her speaking out about human rights violations, when they have a clear policy against retaliating against employees who speak out about human rights violations

And he actually likes Tesla

I’m sure he already calls his lawyers every day at 3 AM while half blitzed on K to pitch exactly that

I dunno, the US military machine may not be that impressive for very long the way they’re going
- Comment on Bad UX is keeping the majority of people away from Lemmy 6 months ago:
This is my thought… Don’t hide it, really, more like toss a blanket over that part while people get settled. Most will stick with the defaults (whether a single default like lemmy.world or regional defaults like lemmy.ca), but they’ll get the option if that’s something they want to change later (I do wish there was a way to move instances rather than having to make a new account, that might also help improve adoption… “Just go with this one while you settle in and move when you know where you want to go”)

I wasn’t asking about a Linux client for Teams, I was asking about an open source alternative to Teams

Are there some open source Teams alternatives you’d recommend?
- Comment on New mobile features are sh*t these days 10 months ago:
Yes, the reason they aren’t is they want people to buy new phones, not fix and upgrade their current ones. This is not hard to figure out.

Maybe the sand is the opposite of a non-newtonian fluid, is solid at rest but becomes basically fluid with vibration
Though I imagine sand would naturally behave this way if it isn’t packed too densely

Well of course, that makes perfect sense to me! What would we do if the ISPs ran out of bits? Can’t just use them anywhere you know, those suckers aren’t cheap!
- Comment on Google is purging ad-blocking extension uBlock Origin from the Chrome Web Store 11 months ago:
I think it does, but only blocks competing advertisers
(Note: I actually have no clue if they do and I’m talking out my ass; that said, I would absolutely not be surprised one bit if they did exactly that)

This. Any time paying customers get treated worse than pirates, they’re only incentivised to pirate next time. It absolutely blows my mind that corpos seem incapable of figuring that out.

- Comment on Can’t upgrade your PC to Windows 11? Buy a new one, is Microsoft’s laughable solution 11 months ago:
Python exists but I personally like PowerShell more. I’m not crazy about it being Microsoft owned, but it’s at least open source at this point, for whatever that’s worth.
