linuxmemes@lemmy.world•Flatpak haters seem to believe that if an app isn't on their distro's repos, it's the developers' fault.
7·2 years agoAnd with topgrade you can even upgrade flatpaks and your distros repos in one go

Memes@lemmy.ml•Oh tell me again how it loads faster and takes up less resources
31·2 years agoThey are contributing to Google’s hold over web specs. If Google decides to implement a feature off spec, then website developers will optimise for that implementation because it will be the implementation used by all chromium based browsers. And that leads to worse performance for other browsers with a more correct implementation.

World News@lemmy.ml•Biden: What's happening in Gaza is not genocide
3·2 years agoI like the term “extermination” which the ICC’s chief prosecutor used in his charging document against Bibi.
Genocide requires intent. There is at least the possibility that Israel is merely showing careless disregard and willful ignorance towards Palestinian lifes. That doesn’t make a practical difference, of course. The fact that Israel is maybe? not as racist as they could be, doesn’t help all the dead or starving civilians.
That’s why I like the term extermination. It’s precise but doesn’t require intent. It doesn’t imply that Israels interest in defeating Hamas is merely a smokescreen (for the record: I don’t think Hamas can be defeated militarily, but I understand the interest).
And it does all that without being a euphemism.
Edit: a previous version of this contained a Freudian slip where I confused the names of Biden and Netanjau.
What do you mean? The UK is right there, land bridge to France and everything.

Games@lemmy.world•Unity adding a fee for devs for each time a game is installed, after certain thresholdsEnglish
3·3 years ago- You can actually import assets from unity into godot using a 3rd party add-on (If the assets license allows is)
- Godot has C# scripting
Technically they don’t even have to give you the option to refuse cookies if they have a legitimate interest to collect them. The idea being that if a company’s business model depends on them collecting a certain data point then you shouldn’t be able to get the service for free.
All of this means, that if a site offers you to refuse cookies they have a legitimate interest on then it’s probably bullshit and they are just using the general confusion to get more data than nessesary.

Memes@lemmy.ml•Your Operating System is Not Supported. Please install Google Smart Home OS to continue.
2·3 years agoThat’s because those propaganda outlets are generally bankrolled by billionaires who profit through tax cuts enacted by politicians voted into power by people radicalized by the propaganda. Different business model
You don’t need to justify your purchasing decision to me. I am not even calling for a boycott of the game. I know people at Larian and I wish them all the success they can get.
I am just surprised that this whole thing seems to be completely absent from the larger discussion about this game. I would have assumed, that it would have been at least a footnote.
Sure, but people were really mad earlier this year because Wizards of the Coast, the company that owns D&D tried to pull some licencing related shenanigans that would have massively fucked over the community. People were boycotting the movie a couple of months ago over that. It’s interesting, that Baldurs Gate seems to not be affected by this at all.

Firefox@lemmy.ml•Does anyone know how to get rid of those search engine icons on the bottom of search suggestions?
2·3 years agoThey are the old fashioned menu. So “file”, “edit” etc.
You can get it by pressing Alt. I’m not sure why there are icons in the menu though.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why is the Connect Lemmy app trying to track me? (Answered: It isn't)

Ubisoft complained, so now it’s just “Catan - the Game”
You mean the outdated piece of software that everyone (on Linux) used, which is slowly being replaced by multiple different implementations all based on the same standard? Seems to me like an apt (no pun intended) metaphor.

World News@lemmy.ml•Five ways AI might destroy the world: ‘Everyone on Earth could fall over dead in the same second’English
2·3 years agoThere is this concept called “crityhype”. It’s a type of marketing mascarading as criticism. “Careful, AI might become too powerful” is exactly that





Sure, this time it only affected Windows computers, but Crowdstrike has also broken Linux installs this year:
