What is that? Also, why am I seeing a countdown in the middle of my field of view?
Cool!! What are you baking?
What is interesting to me is how your occupation would be identified.
Face value? What if you are a Japanese citizen, but look like a foreign person due to genes. Edit: or if you look Asian but are not a local.
Speaking fluent Japanese? What if you are a tourist who has learned the language.
Would you need to show your ID at every establishment to prove you are not a tourist?
If both people have Syncthing installed, you can do that by sharing a folder between you.
But it is not like cloud services where you can generate a shareable link - Syncthing is mostly designed for syncing files between your own devices real-time.
Legally speaking that may be be correct, since Meta has their own advertising platform. They do not "sell your data", but what they do sell is indirect access to your data, via targeted advertising.
16% is pretty good. the ones at three to one percent are the weirdos.
It's called "metadata", so clearly it belongs to Meta.
Not related to Steam Deck, but this caught my eye:
As soon as we thwarted their effort, they went around to 27 different developers and offered each one a payoff to undermine any effort we had to get their games onto our store exclusively. Activision and Riot and Supercell had direct distribution plans that they were planning on; Google paid them not to pursue those plans. Just direct blatant violations of anti-competition law, it’s crazy a company of Google’s scale would do that.
So Tim is stating that Google making exclusivity deals with applications developers is breaching laws and should be stopped, but Epic having exclusivity deals on their own stores is okay and not anti-competitive. Hypocrite much, eh?
There is an NPO called The Mozilla Foundation that develops Firefox
Just to be precise, Firefox development is lead by Mozilla Corporation, which in theory is a for-profit company; however it is fully owned by the Mozilla Foundation, and all profit is reinvested to the Mozilla project.
For email, I recommend purchasing your own domain name and finding a provider that allows the use own your own domain (like Proton or Tutanota). A catch-all function is also good for making unique addresses per service, so you're mostly protected from data leaks and spam. Like lemmy@yourdomain.tld or clothingstore1@yourdomain.tld
Will make switching email providers much easier when you don't have to update your address to tens or hundreds of services you've registered on.
You like cool space stuff? Science fiction? Exploration? Games that don't hold your hand? Wonderfully crafted experiences? Mysteries to solve? Existential crisis? "A-ha!" moments?
Outer Wilds is the game. If you answered "yes" to at least three questions, give it a try - you will probably love it.
Thing is, you can't really explain much about Outer Wilds without getting into spoilers, as the whole point of the game is to explore the game's solar system, figure out environmental puzzles and read ancient texts of a long-gone civilization to solve a mystery that you find yourself tangled in.
It is simply the most fascinating game I have ever played - it's amazingly well-thought as an experience, every little thing neatly fits together. And there is no right or wrong way to play - after the 'tutorial', the game never tells you what to do or where to go next. It is all up to your curiosity and interests. Stuck on exploring one planet? Go investigate something else. You'll probably find answers to help your exploration on the original planet! Any way you go about exploration, you will find revelations and eventually reach the game's amazing finale.
Furthermore, if you know what to do, you can complete the game in around 10 minutes. Outer Wilds is a 15-30 hour game. There are no powerups or tools to unlock - knowledge is what gates you from answers and is what allows you to progress.
Beautiful.
Oh no, the fedipocalypse is starting!
