Fork bomb is actually a pretty fantastic cat name

“only one person per file”

so we’ve reverted back to the rcs/cvs days?

some programmer somewhere arbitrarily chose a number that they felt sounded reasonable

Did you miss the words “dark pattern”? it is a term for when companies misuse/abuse UX principles to trick people into acting against their own best interests. In this case, the bold “click me” looking button in the screenshots means “yes daddy, spank me and then sell my data to your friends”, which is the option that most people who see that box won’t want to click.

Unfortunately, a large swath of the general population are trained in their brains to “click ok to make it go away”. These UX decisions take advantage of those people.

Assumedly, the grayed out box will also not dismiss the banner, but instead lead to a more complicated experience where you then are forced to drill down into complicated options to decide which of the cookies to set, which will be confusing if you didn’t open the link at top in a new tab to cross reference which of the 27 data brokers “Technology Partners” to decide which.

It’s not UX, it’s abusive UI and the very definition of malicious compliance to EU regulations.

that still contradicts pictrs breaking the thumbnail

i always hated that the us version of this show felt like they needed to say this explicitly, that was one of the best things about the british version is that the points were a cute little joke that didn’t need to be spelled out

having is less annoying way of not doing needless/bug-prone repetition. if you select someCalculatedValue(someInput) as lol you can add having lol > 42 in mysql, whereas without (ie in pgsql) you’d need to do where someCalculatedValue(someInput) > 42, and make sure changes to that call stay in sync despite how far apart they are in a complex sql statement.

most languages have some first or third party lib that implements a query builder

i didn’t crack til 42

It’s not really editing titles. They publish it with various titles that get split-tested at first, whichever version of the title gets more clicks then becomes the only title used.

i find it quite disturbing that there are bears in the alaskan military

the modern sam and max games are a fucking delight and i will die on that hill

Cluster-B summed up perfectly. His platform will die because of “an advertiser boycott”, and not because he’s driving it into the ground while throwing middle fingers with both hands and ranting about how everyone else can go fuck themselves as the world burns around him.

fuckin took you long enough. i was starting to lose faith in the prison system

i’m not comfortable with your nonchalance and complicit behavior with respect to the ancient yet ongoing and soon to become overwhelming alien bombardment we are currently facing as a planet

it wasn’t. in fact, this post wasn’t asking for anybody on lemmy to post about it either, regardless of their opinion.

i’m sure whoever wrote this wants us to sign up for their comments section and discuss this there on their website. shall we continue this discussion there instead? that is, after all, what the post is asking us to do.

Will not buy. I do not like rockstar’s business model of “release new GTA, milk the franchise via online mode and microtransactions for a decade rather than making more content and new games”. GTA1-4 and all of the offshoot/expansion games for each, came out in a shorter timespan than GTA5’s lifespan, WITHOUT an expansion.

Also, GTA5 was wonderful technically, but the story was cookie cutter as hell. Even just looking at the “amazing new 3 protagonists”, it’s a white guy in his 40s who just wants one final score before retiring (every heist movie protagonist ever), a black dude from the streets with gang history (b/c he’s black, and a criminal, he’s obviously a gang member), and some methed out white dude (who even the dev team admits is just a character based on “lol gta players will play like psychopaths because the npc’s aren’t real people, isn’t that funny/weird haha let’s make a character about it” — like no the whole point of gta is that it’s a story about being a criminal, so you do criminal stuff and get rewarded for it with points/money/weapons and without real consequence, like when mario jumps on a goomba). two boring stereotypes that and a

Anyway, buying gta6 sounds like a poor life decision to me. i hate yearly franchises, but decade-ly franchises are so much worse. the starcraft 1->2 transition taught me that way before gta5 even came out.

i meant it when i said -9. fuck that process.

What liability? These are in government-licensed facilities regulated by the same government institutions which regulate the sale of alcohol, which require you, just like a bar or liquor store do, to verify your identity and that you are an adult with a government-issued ID, where all products are subject to government testing and taxation.

This isn’t about liability, it’s about outdated federal regulations which remain in place only because alcohol producers continue to pay off / “donate to” congresspeople to prevent a different inebriant, consumption and usage of which is demonstrably safer for both the direct consumer and the general public, from affecting alcohol profits.

“What if… what if i found a way to combine apathy in the face of tragedy and misogyny into the same situation? I bet that would be so funny. Lol. I would even go so far as to say Lmao. This might even be worth a Rofl.”

“The internet is gonna fucking love me. Comedy GOD, they’ll say. Pinnacle of humor; the rest of humor has ended, they’ll say. Edgy humor has won, and hilarious edgelords will rule the world. Nothing will be funny anymore unless it hurts at least someone. Humor will only exist through mistreatment of others, as god intended, and i will finally be praised for my hilarious ability to be a complete asshole devoid of empathy.”
