I don’t think the 2% figure includes the steam deck, but I might be wrong

Gentoo has systemd instructions right alongside openrc through the whole installation handbook. Pretty sure opensuse is systemd also.

Ford has right hand drive escapes in Australia. Your callout about specific vehicle models is one, not entirely correct, and two, not relevant to the point of the parent comment.

That’s not really true. Banks getting higher interest on loans also pay out more interest on deposits, otherwise they’re unable to attract and retain customers. FI profitability is based on net interest margin (revenue from lending - losses from deposits), and they need deposits to have the money to lend out so they can’t arbitrarily lower their deposit account rates to increase NIM.

Banks get richer no matter what happens, because people need loans. If anything, higher rates make it more challenging for banks to make money as people are less able to make repayments and less likely to take out loans for luxury purchases or holidays.

Reach a broader audience on dogshit platforms. At least this is proper censoring and not a piss take off a line through the “bad word”

Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019 has a 10 year support window, and subsequent LTSC versions, 5 years. If you can get your hands on one of these licences you would presumably continue to receive security patches. If the US government is somehow not running on this kind of licence, it would be pretty funny, but I’m sure Microsoft would be lenient and let them jump onto whatever compatible LTSC version given its an American company.

I would say it’s actually only a small amount to think about.

I thought Firefox desktop did have site isolation, and I think it might be in mobile too or at least the nightly builds.

Non profit does not mean what you think it means

Here’s an interesting study showing that silicone does break down into nanoparticles under mechanical wear, although the particles are chemically stable and non-toxic, and notably compared to plastic, are not released by heating alone.

I guess similar to saying at least 10%, to convey that it isn’t 9.5% or 9% but more than that.

It’s a personal computer. Being in a different form factor does not change that.

Not the OP, and I don’t actually know, but paid streaming services differ from YouTube in that everyone who accesses the content is paying for the service. On one hand, you can validate that everytime a video is served, it’s served to a paying user. On the other, you are receiving revenue directly from consumers to fund the infrastructure to store and serve the videos.

YouTube, on the other hand, stores significantly more content, for free, and can be accessed for free, without being signed in.

First, thanks for the informative comment.

The general rules in my area

Made me imagine that we’d figured out federation backwards in time, and you were commenting from a middle ages Lemmy instance.

Do a retro! Lol

When you pay for enterprise equipment, you are typically paying a premium for longer, more robust support. Consumer products are less expensive because they don’t get this support.

Ah, brexit

Your point is basically the same but I believe he isn’t technically a one man dev anymore. For a while, he has worked in a small team, with a few games released/in EA on Steam having been created by former SV devs on the same engine with ConcernedApe’s permission.

I assume he also outsources the work of the console ports.

In any case, it doesn’t take away from the point, and you could probably still classify him as a solo developer for the purpose of talking about his upcoming Willy Wonka simulator. It’s much easier to pay 4-5 people from the proceeds of one of the best selling indie games of all time than it is to pay 40-50 people from the proceeds of a 10 year old game with free updates and expansions. No Man’s Sky, for example, must have some really consistent sales figures for them to continue to be making money.

I don’t know if it’s the same with autism, but I have read about and experienced something that impacts people with ADHD called demand avoidance, where asking someone to come help with a task or complete a task right now really fucks me up. It completely interrupts the flow of what I’m in the middle of, and I also can feel really frustrated about the demand for no good reason.

Giving me a timer, even a short one, gives me time to mentally transition at my own pace. I assume for a “normal” person its easy to just say “yeah, in a minute”, but demand avoidance comes with a pretty strong emotional reaction (frustration, anger, guilt) that is absolutely irrational, but can’t be helped.

Like I said, no idea if this is a thing with autism and I don’t feel like researching it. Maybe for people with autism is more about routine and planning but idk

Edit: realised after I wrote this response that there is a good chance you’re just joking about the literal interpretation of the phrasing used in the comic, and that you know all this already, but I’m leaving it up for posterity.

Microsoft’s use of CrowdStrike meant that a significant number of their cloud and SaaS offerings also failed, impacting users who likely didn’t know what CrowdStrike was.
