for me the ripple design wasn’t even a problem, but i dread the days i have to wash something that had cooked meat in them with that plastic.

the main idea behind the blockade is that Facebook implementing ActivityPub can easily overwhelm any instance small enough in infrastructure through the sheer amount of traffic that such connection would have on the rest of the Fediverse (case and point, the occasional waves of Twitter users moving to Mastodon), and with fewer instances it can get easier for the company to take advantage of that to take over the network and make it monopolized again.

edit: i didn’t read your comment properly, i thought that was lacking context. sorry x.x

edit 2: https://lemmy.ca/post/11771031 someone else shared this thread, it’s an interesting and important read

thank you ^^

i see now. thank you

the image doesn’t match at all with the actual website even though the individual entries in the picture are accurate.

the entire list is mixed half-and-half across the board, with slight bias to Federated status. still a long way to go.

in my opinion, the key here is that asking “why?” is going to be the most important skill you can teach your kids early on. “because yes” or “because not” or “because i told so” is never a good answer, and learning to ask what moving parts there are to anything can and will open up a lot of options for things they will learn later on.

that’s it, that’s the whole query back in 2010 all the way to 2014

fyi KRunner is also in the default main menu’s search bar btw :3

i like it that KRunner on KDE does that out of the box too, except that it doesn’t connect to the internet as a first suggestion, so it’s an upgrade :3

there’s still some interesting parts to note in the comic. i personally like the slightly tilted view in the first panel used to emphasize the surprise of the moment for example.

that said, the original version of the comic is a fucking joke. i can’t imagine even my mother taking that one seriously x.x

i’m not very sure about Windows aside from DeviantArt, RealWorld and similar galleries, but for KDE you can get a catalogue built into the cursor settings

it’s typically just a kind of pixel art with monospaced fonts¹. any characters you see that’s not typically shown on your keyboard (e.g a filled square) can be found in a character selection program in your OS. anything else related to texts, templating and line breaks you can probably find a program somewhere on places like crates.io or gitlab or write something of your own without much trouble.

¹ a monospaced font is a font where every letter and character has the same spacing from each other, and are the easiest to do ascii art. (ascii is just one character table, but you can also gather unicode chars all you want)

that is a game engine limitation, not an in-universe physics limitation.

something to do with input sanitization probably

do you know any ways to filter the playlist so that only songs with BY-SA shows up?

Itch.io gives the convenience. although the UI is far from good, you straight-up get the zip folders with the game itself if you download from your browser, and their launcher still adopts no drm.

as a reminder: in systems on Linux, remember to check the permissions of non executable files if you’re extracting them from a zip folder or similar, since those tends to preserve file permissions before you double-click them.

problem there is that anti-drm and ownership of a license to download and run software don’t combine while financially viable to the stores. aside from the additional problem of having to manage inventories, trades and everything that happens to break those systems, “owning” the license and allowing to sell to someone else doesn’t do much if you don’t employ a DRM to enforce the make-believe of you pretending you’re monetarily compensating a physical larbor of transferring a given copy of a media, people will share things with each other before you can blink and not care where it comes from so long as it runs and it’s clean, specially in places where people won’t pay for games instead of food. only reason CSGO skins works on Steam as the original NFT system is because there’s servers to enforce what people get to see you holding and what you don’t own. and allowing for transferring games between accounts without a DRM is not something you’ll ever see any big company doing under the liability of being accused of promoting “piracy”.

i think nothing beats literally getting the zip file with all the contents of the game with no middleware like GOG employs. to decentralize the store further requires the devs to at least manage their own website hosting, domains, ownership status accounts for updates. the only step available beyond that is the payment methods, and i don’t think there’s any viable solution to be done in that case besides having more companies like Stripe and Paypal.

in that sense, Itch is handling things pretty good for devs so far,
