What is the most cumbersome device you've ever used?

  • Not really relevant for an iPad, but it's a good example:

    Have you ever tried putting a custom ringtone on an iPhone?
    In Android you just put an audio file in the ringtones folder, either by plugging it into a pc or with an on-device file manager.

    For an iPhone you need to either buy the ringtone from the store or put it on the device through iTunes (🤮). Also it can't be just any format. It needs to be a specific profile of AAC (if I remember correctly), then rename the file to have a specific extension. There is no way you could do all that without reading a guide.

    • Baldur's Gate 3 publishing chief calls out Ubisoft's 'broken strategy': If gamers need to get used to not owning games, 'developers must get used to not having jobs'

  • I hope you're right. I'm future proofing anyway by preferring DRM-free stores when possible.

  • Sure that's reasonable at the moment. And while it seems Gaben would never sell out, he is going to die at some point. What's going to happen to steam / valve after that?

    • I love diablo-likes, but they're also really annoying.

  • Personally I enjoy the complicated character building of Grim Dawn way more than the item hunting. This also means I will play a host of characters and eventually complete item sets and have the resources for crafting after half-completed character number 86. For me the grinding is mostly a test on the efficiency of my build.

    Maybe look into Warhammer: Chaosbane. It has a point system that superficialy looks similar to Grim Dawns devotions or Path of Exile, but in reality it's super simple. And while you do collect items, they don't matter as much as in other ARPGs. The flip side is that it's kinda hard to fail because the game is so simple.

    • SpacebarChat - a selfhosted, Discord-compatible communication platform

  • Maybe it's just me but I think the Mumble UI is way better than the Discord UI

    • What is the worst experience you've had reading a book?

  • It's not just that characters make stupid decisions, the same characters keep making the same mistakes and nobody ever learns from those mistakes or grows as a character. It's so extremely frustrating.

    • Now we have them on our phones

  • There are like 20 different calculator apps on F-Droid, ranging from basic to scientific. There's plenty of instances where the dystopia screws you, calculators ain't one of them.

    • Tim Sweeney emailed Gabe Newell calling Valve 'you assholes' over Steam policies, to which Valve's COO replied internally 'you mad bro?'

  • The point is that an email address that is not in use except once to create that epic account is worthless to whoever buys it.

  • Well if they can turn [email protected] into money they honestly deserve the 50 cent they're getting for it.

    • The Good Liars on Instagram: "Talked to people who think the Bible should be taught in schools. They also think the Bible should be banned from schools."

  • Can't speak for BruceTwarzen, but I'm from a fairly large city in Germany and I don't personally know any religious people. Side rant: Which makes the various privileges the catholic church gets all the more puzzling and annoying to me.

    • Does C# (or any other languages) have an official style guide like python has pep8?

  • Is JavaScript a serious language? /s

    Joking aside: One of Brendan Eich's books probably contains something resembling a style guide.

    • Does C# (or any other languages) have an official style guide like python has pep8?

  • Since you specifically mentioned C# : https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/fundamentals/coding-style/coding-conventions

    I'd be surprised if there is a serious language that doesn't come with at least some semi-official style guide. But usually they are not universally followed and everybody just does their own thing.
