  • The GTA 6 trailer wasn't just cinematics, according to a former Rockstar developer who says "It's really gonna look like this"

    Jump

  • Yeah, maybe it could look like that, but obviously they haven't actually implemented everything to make it look like that, so it's still completely up in the air, whether it actually will look like that.

  • Finally installed F-Droid

    Jump

  • Yeah, that is a valid opinion to hold. I am saying that trust is garbage.

    You could consider compiling the KeePass app yourself, if you're worried about that one in particular.A guy I used to study with, decided that he just wouldn't have a password manager on his phone.I've certainly considered switching to a Linux phone for that, among many other reasons...

  • Add and use own app icon

    Jump

  • There's alternative GUIs for editing the menu that you can try, for example MenuLibre. I assume, MenuLibre allows adjusting that freely, but I haven't actually tried it.

    But yeah, as @DmMacniel@feddit.de already pointed out, what these GUIs do, is just editing the .desktop file, which you can also edit with a text editor.You probably already have a file for the application you're trying to correct underneath ~/.local/share/applications/. If you don't, then copy it to there from /usr/share/applications/.And then find the [Desktop Entry] section and edit (or add) the value for Icon= to contain the absolute path to the image file you want to use.

    Normally, the menu picks up such changes immediately, but if in doubt, you can try logging out and back in...

  • What is the point of individually wrapping cheese slices in plastic, only to cover a bunch of them in more plastic?

    Jump

  • So, what's the yellow stuff for? To keep the bags from sticking together?

  • another video essay

    Jump

  • Yeah, I have watched videos of the guy before and would be down for 4 hours of it, but not if it's about how FluffyMcWuffington stole the pixels from sbubby82...

  • alternative to trees

    Jump

  • I don't even understand which part of the tree experience these tanks are supposed to replace. Are they really just there to pick up CO2? Because you can also plant a forest outside the city for that.

    You'll miss out on all the other tree benefits, but so you also will with these glass tanks.

  • Firefox is on the brink of being dropped by the US Government

    Jump

  • Well, those will work in Firefox just fine...

  • Firefox is on the brink of being dropped by the US Government

    Jump

  • Yeah, people will use anything, if it comes as default...

  • Could X go bankrupt under Elon Musk?

    Jump

  • Sure, yeah. The way I imagine this would work out best for humanity, is if companies are forced to open up platforms they provide, when they have e.g. more than 40% market saturation with that.

    Most small platforms will want to strive for interoperability with the dominant platforms anyways, so this threshold is just to keep the burden of regulation low.

    In practice, this might mean that Twitter would be forced to allow federation with Mastodon.Or that Microsoft is forced to open-source the code for the Windows API.Or that Reddit is blocked from closing up their third-party API.

    Ultimately, I don't think, it even needs to be as concrete. I feel like even a law stating that if you're providing a platform, you need to take special care to keep competition alive (along with some detailing what this entails), and then leaving it up to a judge to decide, would work.

    The GDPR is implemented like that and while most larger companies are IMHO in violation of the GDPR, I also feel like most larger companies actually did go from atrocious privacy handling to merely bad privacy handling, which is an incredible success.

    That's effectively all I'm hoping for, too. That dominant platforms can't just stagnate for multiple decades anymore. That they do have to put in at least a small bit more effort to stay in that dominant position.

  • factorio challenge with audio commentary?

    Jump

  • I watched it on my phone in 1080p60 and the scale didn't bother me. It's not like I have to read a lot of text and the precise position of the player character is mostly irrelevant, too. Like, if you get hit by a train or something, the screen will flash red and you'll react to it, too, so I'll know what's going on.

    Well, and I don't look at the screen at all times anyways. 🙃

    Would like to see more of this journey...

  • Spotify axes 17% of workforce in third round of layoffs this year

    Jump

  • Yeah, I could imagine their legal department actually making up a sizeable chunk, with how much the music industry loves to sue.

  • Not mocking cobol devs but yall are severely underpaid for keeping fintech alive

    Jump

  • Yeah, and from what I understand, learning the language itself isn't the hard part. It actually has rather few concepts. What's difficult, is learning how to program a computer correctly without all the abstractions and safety measures that modern languages provide.

    Even structured programming had to be added to COBOL in a later revision. That's if/else, loops and similar.

  • Starfield Has Surpassed 12 Million Players; Goal Is to Last as Long as Skyrim, Says Spencer

    Jump

  • The modding community won't be terribly motivated to build on top of their base game either, if the base game doesn't feel worth playing for long...

  • Judge: Amazon “cannot claim shock” that bathroom spycams were used as advertised

    Jump

  • ✓ It's a camera.✓ It's hidden.✓ It's best hidden in places where people take off their clothes.

    Yep, no way anyone could use that for sexual abuse.

  • Against the Storm Review - An Ambient Roguelite City Builder

    Jump

  • I'm not saying they're mutually exclusive, I just find it tricky to draw information from that.

    For example, I correctly assumed this to not be akin to Dungeon Keeper, which would be a city builder like Rogue in the sense of it being a dungeon crawler.But at the same, I guess, I assume Against the Storm would have procedural map generation like Rogue did, even though I don't really consider that typical for city builders.

    And yeah, this fuzziness of the term 'roguelite' means I don't really know how much city builder to expect...

  • Against the Storm Review - An Ambient Roguelite City Builder

    Jump

  • Ah yes, a city builder, which is a genre pretty much opposite to the original Rogue, but make it like a lite version of Rogue. 🙃

    I mean, I don't really care. Words change meanings. But this one does hurt my brain quite a bit, trying to understand which parts of the Rogue formula they kept...

  • How to have max width on tab

    Jump

  • If you type "about:profiles" into the URL-bar and create a fresh profile there, does it also happen in that?

    (It will practically be like a factory-reset Firefox, except you can go back to your current data/profile.)

  • An AI Singer-Songwriter Just Debuted Her Original Song—And The Responses Are Just Brutal

    Jump

  • I don't think, the human brain is special either, but we are still two big steps ahead IMHO:

    • We can perceive what we've generated, to judge whether it's good or bad.
    • We perceive many, many inputs throughout our lives. Not just text, visuals, audio, but also taste, smell, touch and more. To be simultaneously creative and relatable to humans, AIs would need to be equipped with these concepts and would need to be given 'memories', which are fleshed out with all these kinds of input.

  • Android app maker Simple Mobile Tools acquired by ZipoApps

    Jump

  • Well, the F-Droid team may in theory permit it, but it's also the F-Droid team that has to actively build and distribute the new version. If they don't feel like distributing a newer version, they can absolutely do that.
