You have a work MacBook? Man, your company must be stinkin’ filthy rich.

Well, I’m not a dev and did that just for SideQuest access, so it’s easy enough… but yeah, for those wishing (near-)total anonymity, I see what you mean…
- Comment on Google Confirms Non-ADB APK Installs Will Require Developer Registration 1 week ago:
Right, so the issue is how many devs will stay motivated to keep developing knowing that staying unregistered may significantly reduce users’ draw…

What? You don’t have to be atheist to be against organized religions.

But for such major FOSS development, we usually have to throw money at them in advance, which is the problem.

No, ADB will still allow installation of anonymous apps.

Wait… what? Tell us more details…

The what?
- Comment on Google's shocking developer decree struggles to justify the urgent threat to F-Droid 1 week ago:
Oh, yeah, absolutely. Mobile apps should only ever be used for check-scanning or for features that the online banking simply doesn’t allow (which would be messed up of the bank to do); same with mobile wallets.

I’m in the process of moving banking and payment off my phone
Go on… How are you doing so?

Wait, what?

Sounds like someone hasn’t played Noita…

I’m interested in trying at least a demo. Papers, Please also explored various tiers of morals through its 20 endings based on how you treated people as a border guard (crossers, terrorists, your own staff, relatives, and friends).

Why did the bot resubmit instead of just editing the typo in its duplicate entry earlier? Lemmy users can edit post titles.
- Comment on Hollow Knight: Silksong Sparks Debate About Difficulty and Boss Runbacks 5 weeks ago:
Yeah, huh, apparently HK is tagged on Steam as a Souls-like, but I disagree… just brutal difficulty in a melee-heavy game isn’t enough to merit that badge, but oh, well.
- Comment on Hollow Knight: Silksong Sparks Debate About Difficulty and Boss Runbacks 5 weeks ago:
Agreed, the highly specific gate locations were what ultimately made me abandon the game, in combination with various other factors (sheer difficulty, etc.).

As in, you’re constantly downloading more and more?
- Comment on Most people don't have boxes of USB flash drives sitting around 5 weeks ago:
pissing around with network shares.
What? Why is that a concern when we have tools like Transfer, Mozilla Send instances, etc.? I literally even just use Bluetooth at times.
I once had a USB flash drive break because the exterior detached from the rest of the body in the housing by, like, 1mm while pulling it out; all the files on it were instantly, permanently lost. I will never again use physical file-transfering that involves frequent insertion and removal if I can avoid it (a drive that is always connected is totally fine, though).

Whoa, what could you possibly be writing that much?!

Of course, the jerks…

Might it get added later, hopefully?
- Comment on Hollow Knight: Silksong is out now on Steam - and it broke Steam servers for 15 minutes and counting now 5 weeks ago:
It’s not just the platforming, either; the enemies are incredibly well-designed to slay you. I had gotten quite far and took a break for months and then when I returned to it when I was in the difficult, bottom-left region of the map, my skill had deteriorated so much from my pause that I died within 10 min. Then I died again when trying to reclaim my last corpse’s stash, which made me perma-rage-quit the game.
It is just so diabolically difficult that by that point I didn’t find it fun any more. There is just something about melee Metroidvanias that I can’t stand; I’ve tried many. I absolutely love the relentless treacherousness of Noita, which somehow feels so different when you can keep your distance when firing at foes.

For me, that point is when I’m frustrated enough by the game…

Hmm, do we know which countries will be exempt? I hadn’t thought about that…

In your defense, that’s probably better than the other way around!
- Comment on do you apologize, even if it's not your fault just to make the other person feel validated? 5 weeks ago:
It’s not even just trust but self-confidence. You may be giving off the impression that you can be walked on all over, and bullies may take advantage of that.

But improvement is subjective; what if it does improve @spankmonkey@lemmy.world’s situation?
