What if that was in the training data? Ha!

Right, therefore the looks and theme should be massively different (like sci-fi when the original was medieval, etc.).

Yes cops are technically violent gang members i know...

Hey, all that matters is whose side they're on! ¯\_ (ツ)_/¯

I would say that it's a hive-mind feeling of laziness about the effort put in, starting with mechanics-copying. I don't think anyone would ever say X is a ripoff of Y if X uses totally different Z mechanics, even if the graphics are similar. It's when the mechanics are recycled that it'd better be more original in other aspects.

Cheap SSDs with generous warranties are designed to "fail" so they can harvest your data when you RMA them in c/jokeconspiracy@lemmy.ca

Interesting, I didn't know that; what temp should dormant SSDs be kept in? And by not power-cycling, do you mean to just keep HDDs on 24/7?

Scary. Do you have any protocols for HDD or to prolong their longevity, like a minimum or maximum powering frequency?

Was this beater laptop ever dropped? I have 9-year-old SSDs going strong.

Oh, right, based on what (little) I've seen, yeah...

Why is Lemmy.ml blocked? in c/infosecpub
[–] Flagstaff@programming.dev 9 points 1 month ago

I wonder what the future of Lemmy growth will be like among average folks.

I feel like average folks greatly dislike managing multiple accounts, despite there being many tools out there to mitigate that. The average person just doesn't explore across the Internet like we do, so our crowd will always be more technical.

Interesting, I hadn't thought of that, thanks!

Someone made a scrcpy GUI via Flutter (old.reddit.com)

Does your family know? (programming.dev)
 

If so, how did they take it (I'm guessing "not well"), and where do things stand now?

Is there an app that can mimic multireddits? (programming.dev)
 

I thrived on daily reading of a few multireddits, which are specific clusters of the same subreddits, as my default view; I only went to the general feed for all of my subscribed communities every once in a while.

For example: https://old.reddit.com/r/YouShouldKnow+LifeProTips+dataisbeautiful

Is this possible on Lemmy?

What's your way to resolve sync conflicts? (programming.dev)

Apparently, my phone (which is an intermediary across PCs) didn't sync properly and now I have a couple of sync conflicts of spreadsheets (specifically LibreOffice Calc's .ODS files). These are... kinda large tables I've got here, with multiple tabs.

Normally with .TXT files I can easily use VSCodium's file-comparison feature to instantly spot highlighted line discrepancies on both sides, but how might you resolve spreadsheet conflicts?

Is there no other way than to page down monitor-size by monitor-size in each file, Alt+Tabbing from one to the other and visually inspecting for changes every step of the way until you spot something (hopefully)? I can't think of any less-tedious way...

... apart from, hmm, I guess my own folly in not noting version changes at the top of each file. I guess I'm only used to doing that with actual code... but I may have to start doing so with all synced, regularly edited files...

[Expired] Play Store is offering a $2 discount right now (programming.dev)

Check your account; I'm not sure if this was targeted at me or if everyone got offered it, but I used the offer on Slice & Dice after weeks of repeatedly playing its demo and am loving it!

Does anyone know what Syncthing-Fork's latest version update is for? (f-droid.org)
 

Man, I don't understand why Catfriend1 just puts a literal period or bullet point for the version notes. It always freaks me out into wondering if the account was hacked and if the app was compromised and would cause file deletion or something. This app has become too useful!

Unedited comments get marked as edited on "submission," despite no changes (programming.dev)
 
  1. Post a comment
  2. Begin editing that comment
  3. Press the pencil-icon "submit" button without actually having edited anything

Expected outcome: nothing happens to the comment
Current outcome: the comment gets a pencil mark

I don't remember how I ended up doing step 3 (I think I meant to edit yet accidentally hit the "submit" button), but that was my observation of this fringe issue, anyway.

Copying links in comments doesn't close the share panel (programming.dev)
 
  1. Go here https://lemmy.today/comment/14903795
  2. Hold your finger over any of that comment's links
  3. Copy the link

Expected behavior: the share panel should close

Current behavior: it doesn't, which sometimes confuses me into thinking I didn't actually tap the button

Just showed a couple of friends Cybercade and QubeFall and they were hooked (programming.dev)

It was their first time experiencing VR and one of them said they could play QubeFall for hours! It's such a bummer that that game never made it out of its prototype stage.

Comment time should be left of the 3 dots (infosec.pub)
 

If it's in the same line as the username, it gets overrun by the domain (for those of us who like to see user domains).

How do you make a community on another instance? (programming.dev)
 

I've played some games for which I want to make comms, but I'd rather make them on a gaming-related instance like Lemmy.zip rather than my registered one. Is this possible or would I need to make and manage a second account on the target instance?

Or could someone there just make /c/FTL and /c/SliceandDice? Lol.
