I’m pretty sure it’s just trendy to call Google search shit, and to criticise the top product. I’m also pretty sure DDG is just uses Bing search under the hood (plus it’s privacy features), so I always thought these complaints were quite funny. The ads on Google are probably the most aggressive though, which IMO is the worst part.
I’ve also played a fair bit of it on my Deck. I’d say it plays pretty nicely, though using the console based controls just felt so unintuituve to me so I’m just using the regular PC controls + some custom bindings.
I had a lot of fun with Aces & Adventures too, which similarly is based around poker hands but is very different to Balatro.
Is that really the case? Because you can still see all the songs and a basic set of chords without an account/payment.
Ultimate Guitar Tabs. After spending years getting a community to contribute to one of the best music resources on the web, they turn around and lock all but the most basic features behind a pay wall.
I interpreted this as a criticism of the sort of people who make posts for the ‘brain crack’ of maybe learning to code one day in place of putting the actual work in to learn.
Typically when creating API interfaces you’d be better off marking the inputs as unknown, and then using something like Zod to validate the types
I love how Gemini is so sorry that it can’t help you kill children
In additional to the other comment, I think there’s also a traditional fear of corruption in open source. If the code is public then malicious parties are free to read and take advantage of holes in the security. Secondly it would be possible to contribute code with secret functionality that goes unnoticed. These are fairly easily debunked but seem to remain in people’s heads.
Me too! Thanks for the info. I was never a part of that community and I have to admit I’ve been wondering when someone was going to realise my 3 year membership should’ve finished

Yeah same here, I’ve only had mine a few months but I’m having a blast with it and don’t see why that has to change just because there’s something a bit nicer out there.
100%, the comments have been infuriating to read. This is the obvious interpretation.
I’ve just started playing Factorio. Played a bunch before but never with the deck. It feels like it should be completely viable honestly but the official controls and the top community controls confuse me. I’m taking the time to craft my own ‘perfect’ control scheme and loving it.
I have this power, and one little caveat of it is how much I crave dozing, ie being awake, sleepy, and cozy but not needing to get up. I guess could just set my alarm earlier but I need the sleep more
FYI ‘boy’ here just comes from the phrase ‘oh boy’ and is a generic expression of excitement, having nothing to do with the gender of the person being addressed.
If the phrase was ‘I have news for you, boy!’ then it would be addressing you as a boy.
What do you mean by ‘never neutral’?
I know at least for French it’s been more controversial as there was no direct they/them equivalent. Instead new language has started to be used, though it’s not standard. I find it interesting as they/them is often defended (beyond the fact that it’s been in use in English for a long long time) as being a language tool in English that’s readily available and a far more palatable alternative to neo-pronouns. However in French (and other languages) I wonder if an invented gender neutral equivalent is culturally perceived as being no different.
Reminds me of the UK’s Government Digital Services, who want to digitise government processes but also have a responsibility to keep that service as accessible and streamlined as possible, so that even a homeless person using a £10 phone on a 2G data service still has an acceptable experience.
An example. Here they painstakingly remove JQuery (most modern frameworks are way too big) from the site and shave 32Kb off the site size.
