Thank you!

As someone who has done no programming since taking C++ in high school more than 20 years ago, what do you mean by safer language?

I look forward to the lawsuits that will ultimately cost this man his job.

It was so similar I always assumed they still had to pay for rights to the original song

I really need to try to learn Resolve. There just seems to be so much effort required to make a good NLE and such a relatively small market that it’s just not conducive to a robust FOSS project.

Wow! I’m paying 10.5¢/kWh for electricity at home here in the US; it’s a little below the national average but not dramatically.

I can’t comment on Linux, but IIRC SMB was best for situations needing both Mac and Windows, so I’d guess that’s the choice. Totally off memory, though.

Very interesting, thank you for the explanation.

Edit: is that just for defederation or also when I block an instance on my account?

Is she an actor or just a fan happy to get her picture with Rain Wilson? I’m assuming that’s not OP in the photo since OP is a fairly prolific sharer on Lemmy, but I suppose it could be.

It looks like it’s this page:

https://fed.dembased.xyz/scoreboard?blockers=100

I’m pretty sure it doesn’t block the users; I blocked the NSFW Lemmy, whatever the big one is, because of how much porn would be on the All feed otherwise. I was surprised to see a post or comment from someone whose account was on that instance a few weeks ago, but it wasn’t anything I didn’t want to see so overall I was glad the users are still able to participate elsewhere if that’s what they want.

Has Amazon Games released anything decent? I feel like I’ve heard they exist but not of anything well-regarded released by them. Like the only thing I can think of offhand was a tie-in game for The Grand Tour when they started streaming the show.

I like that clicking on the instance shows the reason given (if any) for each defederation.

I may have in the past put lyrics from “Never Gonna You Up” or links to the music video on YouTube in QR codes I printed on blank business cards and left them in public places around town.

I’m still confused on what happened with OpenOffice. Is it not good now that it’s with Apache?

My immediate thought when I saw that headline elsewhere

The color people will tell you that cyan and magenta do not equal red and blue. My university advisor tricked me into taking a 400 level class from the college of art and design on color theory. Really interesting class but an insane amount of work. Very early on the professor told us to throw out any book that identified red, yellow, and blue as the primary colors. It’s red, green, blue for light or cyan, magenta, yellow for pigment.

Wait, this app is free, has no ads, and does not give any info to the developer? It seems like it’s basically a hobby, created by a guy who wanted the app and decided to learn how to code so he could write it himself?

This is interesting; what do I do with the information?

I can kind of understand VPN and TOR blocking when those are often used by people wanting to post illegal content or engage in illegal activity that could also be harmful to the service that ends up blocking them. Even if it’s an extremely small fraction of the users coming from those services, depending on the action sometimes just one could be enough to make a service decide they’re not worth the potential problems.

The more cynical part of me might suspect at least some of those problematic actions are coming from people working on behalf of privacy-opposed governments to make it harder for people to use VPN/TOR for legitimate purposes. But there are probably plenty of malcontent trolls happy to watch the world burn that governments don’t need to do that.
