  • Art subreddit mod permanently banned artist for breaking a rule, artist apologies, mod then deletes their post history and causes the artist to be temporally banned, subreddit is locked down

  • I mean, if you're ready to ditch an entire OS, your privacy, and deal with all of Windows' bullshit because of it, I'd say it's absolutely GTK hatred lol

  • They've been moving more and more out of AOSP into their Play Services for a good while now. However I suspect OP was referring to their announcement that they'll require developer verification, and apps to be signed with a certificate they issue, for any app install on a verified device (read any device sold with the Play Store). Long story short, no more building and distributing APKs without Google knowing who you are and that your app exists.

  • If God was real (just go with it), then how he's portrayed in the Bible might not even be how he actually is.

  • I realized my mistake too late. Oh well, let the Genª have some fun.

  • If that's what he's doing, he apparently decided to divinely inspire 6-7 major textual families of the Bible instead.

  • That’s the thing, downloading from another source is not opposed to downloading from the official store. It’s the same thing - downloading an executable and installing it on your device - with a different UX and warning screens.

  • What is your favourite word?

  • Am I understanding that Finnish has a way to combine words without being considered to be a compound? My very limited exposure to compound words (through German) was the very idea of mashing the words together made them compound.

  • Researching making the switch from Windows on my main PC and I have questions.

  • Audition, Photoshop and Cubase you’ll probably have the hardest time to truly replace. Even more if you rely on third party plugins for either of those.

  • Shit, I never thought about it that way, but you may be onto something here. Not only tabs were heavy, they weren’t isolated into processes in most early implementations (IIRC that was the big Chrome selling point early on) and could crash your whole browser, so it made me extremely nervous opening too many tabs as I could lose it all with one error.

  • the 'it' in 'it snows' doesn't refer to anything

  • Funny. In French, we call it a “pronom impersonnel”, meaning non-personal pronoun.

  • Eh I’m not hard set on full spec compliance. I use ZSH, it’s not technically POSIX compliant but close enough that I virtually never have to think about it. Technically correct would probably have been “sh derivative” or something.

  • Pretty much my situation. Work stuff, Windows machine, but Linux/Docker workflow and I refuse to let go of my POSIX shell.

  • Fuuuuck I rented that game so much back then. If it wasn’t available every other weekend at my local video store it was 100% my fault.

  • Vance's liking of Yarvin Curtis' NRx philosophy, which openly dreams of neomonarchist technocracy[0], Peter Thiel's funding and support of both Curtis/Nrx and this administration[1][2], this administration's ties to Project 2025[3], including the lovely Russell Vought[4], hat's planned in it for the first 6 months of Trump's term in terms of getting rid of democratic safeguards, dismantling government institutions and concentrating power into the executive[5], is already well under way to execute[6]... Combine all this with the things he's been doing publically, like aligning with Putin, and threatening Canada's and Mexico's annexation over a couple of pounds of fentanyl and the trade agreements he signed himself 9 years ago, the constant barrage of executive orders, many found inconstitutional, but in such a volume that it's completely overwhelming appeal courts, and Trump directly threatening judges not to cross him... I don't know how you manage to call any of this "fear mongering", when it's all just things they themselves said and did. The only variable I can see here is how you interpret all of this, and I don't understand how one can both support democracy and think what they're doing is not completely messing with its very safeguards.

  • How do the Republicans feel about Project 2025 now?

  • Wait till they officially start calling for a constitutional amendments and they suddenly start losing some of their own rights. But by then who knows what it’s gonna look like.
