  • YouTube could roll out ads while videos are paused after “strong traction” in experiment - Dexerto

    Jump

  • If it takes over the video it would be. I pause YT videos all the time to read something that didn't stay on screen long enough.

  • Using gaming controllers for anything other than gaming ?

    Jump

  • Hacksmith on youtube uses playstation controllers for remote operation of their giant mechs.

  • Hamas tells negotiators it doesn’t have 40 Israeli hostages needed for first round of ceasefire

    Jump

  • Not defending Israel here, but my understanding was they did want women and children for the initial 40 released. Hamas said they don't have 40 women and children to release, so now Israel is demanding they release militarily capable hostages in order to hit the 40 number.

  • You crazies actually trust the Sun to be there when you need it?! Ha!

  • Flip the script around, and what this tells us is that within the very narrow path of totality, 30 gigawatts of solar power is produced within minutes. That's a decent amount of power, very quickly, for basically free. Plus all the other solar power still being produced outside the area in totality.

    Gets even more ridiculous when you factor in all the solar power that will be produced within just that same path by time the next eclipse hits us in 20 years. If a couple minutes of losing sunlight is 30 gigawatts, 20 years of having sunlight is multiple millions of gigawatts produced. I think we can just scrape the lost 30 off the top of those millions and call it good.

  • I made this ToDo app, in Flutter, for Android and Linux

  • Only if they have access to a mac and xcode would it be easy. Trying to develop anything for iPhone, even a fairly simple website, can be a genuine nightmare without the proper tools for testing, let alone an actual app. I once spent over 2 days trying to solve a bug that I was able to resolve in like 5 minutes after finally admitting defeat and borrowing my brothers macbook.

  • Denmark wants to conscript more people for military service - including women, for the first time

    Jump

  • It's forced labor. It doesn't get any clearer cut than that. It's slavery.

  • Take a visit to /r/worldnews, then

  • Has Reddit’s traffic really quadrupled in 6 months?

    Jump

  • As someone who still semi-frequents reddit, it's mostly bots, more and more of which are clearly using some form of ChatGPT or another LLM. It's actually kinda absurd, I've seen many a comment chains where it's just different bots replying to each other, both pretending to be real people.

  • Suyu, a potential replacement for Yuzu

    Jump

  • Unfortunately as part of the settlement, the Yuzu team is prohibited from ever working on an emulator for any Nintendo console again. This is why Citra was shut down as well.

  • How true does this ring?

    Jump

  • It's filler. They can't taste it, and it's nutritionally void for them, but it's still calories, and sugar is cheap.

    Edit:spelling

  • DoorDash crash rule

    Jump

  • He should've just looked after himself... I'm guessing the app would've punished him

    Unfortunately, that is a possibility. I used to doordash, canceling an order before you pick up the food is NBD, but canceling after you have picked it up is likely at least a strike against the dashers account.

  • vandalism rule

    Jump

  • Oh no, it's so much worse. This is a BRAND NAME, FCK NZS is a company that sells "antifascist" clothing and accessories. Capitalism has successfully commodified antifa.

  • Stop KOSA - New tech censorship bill

    Jump

  • How many times do we have to teach you this lesson, old man?

  • How about no?

    Jump

  • It was for a family friend who is disabled and unable to work a normal job, so me and my brother(also a dev on this) agreed to be paid on project completion. Long story short, she wasn't able to pay so the final bug fixes were never done, and the code has been left to rot. Under different circumstances I'd be putting pressure to get at least some payment, but it's pointless imo.

    Lesson learned though, not doing that again.

  • How about no?

    Jump

  • It's not that simple. A lot of browser "standards" are standards in that they achieve the same end result, but for whatever reason they take a different approach to getting to that result, so you often end up needing browser specific code. This is especially the case with CSS, which is why so many "standard" CSS properties still need a "-moz" or a "-webkit" version as well, decades in. The only way the website can know if they're running the correct code for that browser is if they know what browser is being used, hence user agents. This is the reason that pop ups like this exist at all; sure they were lazy as fuck to not properly support Firefox, absolutely, but they wouldn't have needed to support Firefox specifically at all if browsers could just get their shit together and fix the "standards".

    I would fucking cry tears of joy if browsers could standardize enough that writing browser specific code and needing the user agent was a thing of the past, but I really don't see it happening any time soon.

  • How about no?

    Jump

  • Absolutely this, nothing but pure laziness. I had a really weird specific issue on iOS Safari with one of my projects, and I own literally nothing Apple. Instead of just accepting shits fucked on iOS, I got my hands on a borrowed Mac so I could use xCode and actually find the issue.

    ...then again, that project ended up dead in the water at like 95% completion and I never got paid for the work I'd already finished, so maybe the joke IS on me and I should've been a lazy fuck.

  • A 9th level casting of the spell could create up to about 112.5gp if we go with the 3.5e economy(which doesn't have this spell, anyways), or only just over 1gp going off the 5e economy(it takes about 4 gallons of seawater per lb of salt, and you can purify 90 gallons casting at 9th level).

    It's really not that good. Sure if you're level 20 and use all of your spell slots on it it's a decent sum of gold... but you're also level 20. Go rob a bank or something.

  • Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney was asked by Verge why there is no support for the Steam Deck for Fortnite

  • but does lead poisoning correlate with marked low emotional intelligence?

    Yes, strongly. Lead exposure, especially in childhood, is known to lower IQ and also decrease empathy.

    The other things you mentioned are definitely major factors as well, but yeah all that lead fucked the older generations brains.
