Recently set up my Win 11 gaming pc and despite being tech savvy, I couldn’t get around the requirement without googling. I needed to run a fucking command in order for the Windows installer to let me create an offline account. That’s just so scammy. Imagine paying money for Windows.

Me too! I even develop some PWAs. It’s great for specialized stuff that doesn’t need to be on the AppStore.

Yeah exactly. Remember when they wanted to kill PWAs in Europe blaming the DMA? They had to revert course eventually due to backlash.

I don’t think I can name any. Feels like stuff just doesn’t get buried here the way it does on Reddit

Yeah same. I used to recommend them whole heartedly but now Im afraid they will go downhill

after the cat has had enough time to spread it’s odour about the house.

So just wait until she put a turd on every surface, then her mission is accomplished and she will stop.

A semi-professional portafilter espresso machine paired with a great grinder.

I can make coffee at home that’s better than what’s being served in most cafés and I can just have that for breakfast every morning. Felt like quite the quality of life improvement.

Yeah I agree. I learned the most when I just set my mind to accomplish something. This will actually get you to do real troubleshooting as well and not just checking where you failed the tutorial.

I wished people just posted to one community at a time. This spam is definitely annoying and why don’t people just use the crosspost feature!?

What are you expecting from a native app? Installing their website as a PWA works really well.

just to make extra sure you cannot read the fucking thing.

Yeah I feel like most of the negativity came from people playing the poor console versions. If you didn’t try too hard to break it the day 1 PC release was okay. The story is amazing and made more than up for any of the bugs. I had a ton of fun with this game.

Man that scuba diver incident was also the turning point for me. Before that I actually thought he was involved in a lot of cool stuff and probably a positive influence but I also didn’t pay all that much attention to him.

Someone contacted me on Steam and asked if I wanted to play TF2 with him. It was one of my most played games at the time and I had a TF2 avatar, so no surprises here.

That person later asked me to rate their TF2 team on some website. Didn’t care first but did it eventually. The website needed Steam auth but just faked the Steam auth and relayed every bit of information you entered to steal your account.

Quickly realized my mistake and reset my password before anything happened. Im still surprised how much effort went into this fake rating site just to steal some Steam accounts.

Yeah that is unfortunate. They will probably never fully replace Youtube until they change drastically. They also serve a niche of interests only. It happens to align with my interests really well but it’s definitely not for everyone.

I rather watch less content on nebula than support this horrible user experience.

At this point the majority of channels that I like are on Nebula. You’re right, it won’t be a huge loss.

The Panic Playdate. It’s just a really nice gaming console that is getting a lot of support from game devs. It’s one of the very few truly portable handhelds as it can easily fit in a pocket and the battery lasts forever too.

Wow I didn’t know that. Good thing I switched to a different instance (although it was mostly due to poor performance on lemmy.ml at the time).

The hack on reddit used to be to hijack a top comment. Post something vaguely related to that comment, then add whatever you wanna add. It’s silly that this was required at all.

I switched from Adobe to Affinity a few years back. The interfaces of the Affinity apps are way better and the apps work much smoother and even have fully fledged iPad versions. There was not really a learning curve for me other than googling very specific stuff every now and then.

The biggest issue is probably that there’s no feature parity between the Affinity and Adobe apps yet. So every once in a while a feature might just be missing.

I’d suggest to just check out the trial versions or even buy the apps right away if your financial situation allows it.
