Gabe Newell ponders the future in new Half-Life 2 documentary: 'I think that Half-Life represents a tool we have and promises made to customers'
  • Bold move, saying Valve isn't the only company in the whole world that actually loves their customers! Reddit Lemmy hive mind is incapable of accepting such a thought.

  • Languages
  • True, but only because it actually is. Except weirdos who saw php code 20 years ago say it sucks.

  • Packaging
  • There's no Java past version 8. Everyone knows that.

  • Steam Deal: Save 95% on Bee Simulator (0,99€)
  • It's a really great education tool! The lack of Czech audio makes it kinda unusable here in Czechia, though, the target audience generally can't read subtitles fast enough.

  • GOG launch their Preservation Program to make games live forever with hundreds of classics being 're-released'
  • There are many tools to download all your games (I've even created one), you can download your games regularly. Sure, you need the space for it, but you need space for everything you own, be it physical or digital.

  • GOG launch their Preservation Program to make games live forever with hundreds of classics being 're-released'
  • It's not, they just decided they have a right to brag about it. And they do, when I started Dragon Age: Origins today, an update definitely surprised me.

  • Insurance commercials should be forced to display a total...
  • Eh... I'd be wary of small insurance companies. Sometimes they don't like to pay. Or at least not as fast.

  • COCK.LI IS ON RED ALERT.
  • Just curious, what's in the torrents?


    Anyway, leaving your jobs to have time for your side project is exactly how we get another core.js story. Read that dude's story.

  • Do I *need* to learn a 3D modeling software?
  • I mean, OpenSCAD has primitives which you use to create your own shapes. It does have chamfers, if you add a module for that. Or download someone else's code.

  • Do I *need* to learn a 3D modeling software?
  • I prefer parametric SCAD models. Maybe because I'm more of a developer than a designer.

    SCAD allows for really cool things like I did with a parametric calendar model - you just input the year and it automatically calculates the first day of the year using a clever algorithm. It also works with leap years automatically, which is less cool but still very convenient.

  • Stack Overflow Website Traffic
  • I usually have good answers with only minimal bullshit when it comes to coding. If not, it at least points me in the right direction.

  • Plants Really Do 'Scream'. We've Simply Never Heard Them Until Now
  • They probably do. But even if not, it can be used for communication with insects and other animals.

  • Stack Overflow Website Traffic
  • Sure, that's why a good service doesn't create an environment which supports people being dicks. Unfortunately, that's exactly what SO does with the way it works.

  • Dutch police arrest dozens of pro-Palestine protesters in Amsterdam
  • Perhaps it's because football is the biggest sport internationally, but football attract the worst kind of fans.

  • [Google Play] A few "free" Android games
  • These are not free.

  • How to maintain a local repository of docker images in case they go offline?
  • Honestly, you already have the image locally if you've pulled it.

    I guess not everyone treats their PC as an ephemeral storage, huh? I don't trust anything that's available only locally to survive.

  • Dutch police arrest dozens of pro-Palestine protesters in Amsterdam
  • Once again proving that football fans are the lowest form of organism on this planet.

  • Need help bypassing login screen without compromising machine security
  • I don't remember exactly how, but I did the same thing for my streaming gaming laptop. I had to put my unencrypted password in the registry somewhere, but it's been a few years, I don't remember where I put it. But perhaps this piece of information will help.

  • Stack Overflow Website Traffic
  • Yeah, I've thought about that as well. Doesn't mean I'm gonna miss Stack Overflow specifically. Perhaps something better replaces it when AI gets poisoned by its own output too much.

  • Defederation from piefed.social

    Just to be clear, they defederated from us, not the other way.

    Hopefully it's only temporary, but just a FYI if you are subscribed to any communities there.

    As for the reason, recently there have been many spam accounts being created on lemmings.world, which I'm banning daily, and piefed.social decided they'll be defederating as a response.

    I'll update this post if something changes.

    The new episodes have arrived! [SPOILERS s06e01-s06e03]

    I personally didn't know I'd be getting 3 episodes at once, so that was a really great surprise!

    How'd you like the new episodes?

    RSS feed of your saved posts

    I wrote an app that makes it possible to have your Lemmy saved posts in a RSS feed. For example, if you're like me and save posts because you want to come to them later when you have the time.

    How to do it?

    Few simple steps:

    • you must be logged in to lemmings.world instance
    • you visit https://lemmings.world/rss/init
    • the response will contain a JSON string which contains, among others, the unique URL of your RSS feed (looks like https://lemmings.world/rss/4e64935e0613f6e2e03cd420f71df14476e769b11704652921c1a7b2150f0888)
      • the URL can be accessed publicly, but the URL is completely random and cannot be guessed
      • that means no one will find out by accident, but if you post the link publicly anywhere, everyone has access
      • if the URL ever gets compromised and you'd like to remove it, send me a PM
      • by default you only get posts, but you can modify it by adding optional parameter include
        • it's a comma separated list that can contain posts and comments
        • ?include=posts - only posts (same as omitting the include parameter)
        • ?include=comments - only comments
        • ?include=posts,comments - include both comments and posts
    • afterwards just put the URL in your favourite RSS client
    • if you ever forget the URL, just visit https://lemmings.world/rss/init (while logged in), you can copy the URL again

    If you're from another instance, you can either join lemmings.world or ask your admins to include the RSS app on their instance as well, it's open source and can be found at https://github.com/RikudouSage/LemmyPersonalRss

    Which fictional character comes to your mind first when someone says strong, independent woman?

    Can be from any kind of media.

    For me it's Margot from The Magicians (which is interesting because in the books she is anything but) and Jesse Faden from Control.

    442 years ago today, the day did not exist

    Due to the introduction of the Gregorian calendar and to fix mistakes from the previous calendar system, October 5, 1582 did not exist. The calendar went from October 4 straight to October 15.

    Federation issues with lemmy.world

    Edit: Problem has been fixed and we're slowly catching up, in a few hours everything should be as usual.

    We are having some technical issues with content federation, meaning most of the content from lemmy.world is not displayed on our instance.

    I'm working on solving the issue, though it appears to be a tough one. For the time being, the experience for users of lemmy.world will be degraded.

    Pixel art - fixed eyes

    Recently I posted this image and many people were wondering what was wrong with the eyes, turned out I forgot to disable a face fixer model that tries to make faces more realistic. Well, now I generated the exact same image again, but without the face fixer model
