Yep. That’s why I stopped distro hopping years ago.
Once set-up it just works™.

The “this would never happen to me” mindset really is cancer to logical thought and reasoning.
I somewhere read (maybe it was thinking fast and slow by Kahneman?) that even psychology students learning about certain behaviors would later anonymously claim they would never fall into these patterns. But plot twist: they are also only human, so of course they also could fall into these patterns.
Another example: People that think they would never fall for a scam. If it is the right scam they will fall even more easily for it than people that know that it could happen.
“Of course it can’t be a scam. Scams are obvious and only idiots fall for them.”
What’s confusing? I am confused by your confusion. This is all confusing.
Depends, are you using raw os APIs?
If so stop it and use a library. A library will do all the necessary checks anyways, atomically. And you need to handle API errors anyways. So checking ahead of time just would be a waste of time.
But in the end it’s irrelevant. This all seems like premature optimization at best and optimizing the wrong thing at worst. You shouldn’t need to open thousands of files a second to save a game and if you don’t then the cost of all this checking is essentially zero.
And if you are actually bound by the speed of opening files then you should investigate ways to open fewer files (or not closing files that you know will be needed later).
I needed to scroll way too much to see people mention marketing and advertising. It’s a huge deal.
The power of good advertising is not to be underestimated. There is a good statistically proven reason why so much money flows into it. And it’s not only traditional advertising but viral and “astroturfed” advertising.
That’s a strange hill to die on. I mean sure I will also never buy this game but with inflation it’s just a matter of time.
I would much rather have a higher initial cost with no macro transactions in game.
What I find really sad is how fast people call others transphobic. Numerous times I’ve even seen trans people being called transphobic.
Sometimes it’s also just people making honest mistakes and sometimes people double down on shitty positions if cornered by an insult like being called a transphob. Is that ok? No but it’s also human nature unfortunately.
But I get it there is a lot of hate especially in recent times where it is a constant topic in the US culture war. And it must be exhausting to see hate in so many places. A lot of actual transphobic people are akso not acting in good faith of course. This just makes me more sad :(
Don’t change that! I need that feature for my workflow
Depends on the author.
I once moved ~5TB of research data over the internet. It took days and unfortunately it also turned out that the data was junk :/
Probably the ancient pong machine my grandfather had.
And with crowd strike we have seen how reliable Antivirus is.
Hmmm but what about all the image memes?
This reminds of the song Amerika from Rammstein.
Being able to host the same community over multiple servers would be great. Or having the same account on multiple servers. And I’m not talking about subscriptions but upvotes, posts, comments. That stuff is afaik not transferrable at the moment.
Right now I lost all my posts and comments when feddit.de went kaputt.
Do I dare ask? Beans?
I am definitely on the hope side of things. Lemmy has extreme potential for growth. Just not explosive fast growth. I believe the strength of Lemmy could be “natural” growth as the threat of the platform going downhill is smaller.
On the Internet nobody knows you’re a dog bot.
Why the heck did nobody yet develop an alternative like we’ve seen with SimCity/City skylines?!
They would make so much money and fuck EA.
