What is the worst thing your parents ever did to you?
  • dfyx dfyx Now 100%

    My parents split up when I was in my 20s. They both moved out of the house I had grown up in. My girlfriend and I stayed and rented it from my dad, planning to buy it from him as soon as we were financially stable enough to get a loan.

    Fast forward a few years to me having a well-paying job and my girlfriend almost being done with university. Things were looking really good. On my 30th birthday, my dad abd his new wife suddenly started pestering us about the house being too big, too expensive, too whatever for us to the point of ruining the whole evening. A week later I got a letter from him, telling me I had six months to get the money or get out, strongly suggesting the latter. Never even got a reason.

    I wrote most of my Bachelor's thesis and parts of my Master's thesis to nothing but Watch the Skies from Skyrim on loop.

    Carbonara... mit Sahne? Teufelszeug.

    In eine Carbonara gehören Nudeln, Eier, Speck, Käse (bevorzugt Parmesan und Peccorino), Salz, Pfeffer, Wasser und sonst nichts. Wenn ich großzügig bin, noch ein bisschen Öl, um den Speck anzubraten, aber eigentlich kann der das auch allein.

  • TIL Disney's Star Wars Hotel was a massive waste of time
  • dfyx dfyx Now 100%

    Interestingly there are some videos that show what it’s like when it does work and it’s amazing (though still probably not worth thousands of dollars). That makes it even more frustrating when it doesn’t. It’s been a while since I watched Jenny‘s video but I think she made a point of that near the end.

    The hotel was so expensive in both development and upkeep that they had to have a high price and high capacity at the same time to still make a profit. In the end it was basically luck if the actors had time to interact with you and if they didn’t, you had to rely on the rather barebones automated stuff while still paying for the full experience.

    The sensor that recognizes if the laptop is closed sits on the left, next to the audio jack. If you get a magnet within 2-3 cm of it, it triggers and the screen turns off. Seems like the magnet in the lid of the other laptop is just close enough.

    The actual recommended solution is to just read in a loop until you have everything.

  • Star Wars Outlaws Is A Crappy Masterpiece
  • dfyx dfyx Now 100%

    I don't think "boring" is the right word for Outlaws. It has much less of the repetitive stuff that has plagued Assassins Creed for years now and instead puts in stuff that's less frequent but more memorable. I've played for about 10 hours so far and it's been the most fun I've had with an open world game in a long time. The annoying stuff is mainly bugs (not too many for me so far) and quality of life stuff like infrequent save points. A few patches down the road this could still become game of the year material.

    So far I was fortunate enough to not experience the weird AI bugs but that checkpoint system is sooo infuriating. There's a side quest where you need to infiltrate a rather large imperial base on Toshara and even the tiniest misstep halfway through the quest will send you back outside the base. It's 2024, my PS5 is powerful enough to just dump the whole world state from RAM to SSD within a second or two. Why can't I save manually during a mission?

    Other than that, amazing game. It just feels like Star Wars in a way that nothing since KOTOR and Jedi Knight 2 did.

    Note that this isn't specific to Go. Reading from stream-like data, be it TCP connections, files or whatever always comes with the risk that not all data is present in the local buffer yet. The vast majority of read operations returns the number of bytes that could be read and you should call them in a loop. Same of write operations actually, if you're writing to a stream-like object as the write buffers may be smaller than what you're trying to write.

  • What can ActivityPub do that RSS can't?
  • dfyx dfyx Now 100%

    As far as I know, ActivityPub only applies to server to server communication. Still, many applications that implement ActivityPub (for example Mastodon) do use push notifications for their clients.

  • What can ActivityPub do that RSS can't?
  • dfyx dfyx Now 100%

    One more difference is that RSS is polling based, meaning that subscribers have to actively ask every hour or so if thre is new content.

    On the other hand, ActivityPub knows who is subscribed and can actively distribute new content to other servers who can in turn send push messages to their users, letting you know about new content within seconds.

    Looks exactly like Visual Studio 2022.

    I guess the joke implies that automated (or incorrect manual) conflict resolution causes code that doesn't compile. But still not git's fault. They should probably have merged earlier and in rare cases where that wasn't possible, you have to bite the bullet and fix this stuff.

    Now that you mention it, that's right. While we can't be sure if that drink actually contained alcohol, the size and shape of the glass at least heavily implies it.

    I would assume force users (both Jedi and Sith) would be forbidden by their masters from using anything mind-altering, except maybe in strictly controlled rituals. And for good reason. Can't have people running around, randomly force-pushing strangers from a 120th floor balcony on Coruscant.

    I‘ve had the honor to already see a live demo of the first area (perks of knowing some of the devs in person) and the level of polish is amazing. Especially the animations, effects and sound design. Even this early version feels so much more impactful than many finished games. The trailer doesn’t do it justice, so watch out for whatever they show next.

    I made this list based on the [instructions PDF](https://www.lego.com/cdn/product-assets/product.bi.core.pdf/6502379.pdf) that's available from LEGO's website. For most of these, it doesn't really matter if they are black, dark bluish gray or light bluish gray so I picked them based on what will most likely look good with the surrounding colors and what is cheapest on Bricklink. Two notable parts: [Technic, Axle and Pin Connector Perpendicular Double with Axle Connector 2L](https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=80910&name=Technic,%20Axle%20and%20Pin%20Connector%20Perpendicular%20Double%20with%20Axle%20Connector%202L&category=%5BTechnic,%20Connector%5D#T=S&C=1&O=%7B%22color%22:1,%22iconly%22:0%7D) is only available in white (the same color as in the set) and for the [Technic, Axle 1L with Pin without Friction Ridges](https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=3749&name=Technic,%20Axle%20%201L%20with%20Pin%20without%20Friction%20Ridges&category=%5BTechnic,%20Axle%5D#T=S&O=%7B%22iconly%22:0%7D) "old" light gray is significantly cheaper than any of the newer colors except the included tan. In general, if you want to save a few bucks, you can probably leave all tan and white pieces as they are. For me, the complete replacement (250 pieces) cost about 35€ plus shipping. |**Count**|**Number**|**Name**|**Original**|**Replacement(s)**| |:-|:-|:-|:-|:-| |2|6346389|Technic, Axle and Pin Connector Perpendicular Double Split, Reinforced Sides|White|Dark Bluish Gray| |5|6058177|Brick, Modified 1 x 2 with Studs on 1 Side|White|4x Dark Bluish Gray, 1x Black| |6|6289797|Technic, Axle 2L with Pin without Friction Ridges|White|Light Bluish Gray| |4|4208160|Technic, Liftarm Thick 1 x 3|White|Black| |2|6370532|Technic, Axle and Pin Connector Perpendicular Double with Axle Connector 2L|White|Not available| |10|371001|Plate 1 x 4|White|6x Dark Bluish Gray, 4x Light Bluish Gray| |2|6360069|Technic, Liftarm Thin 1 x 5 - Axle Holes|White|Light Bluish Gray| |2|389401|Technic, Brick 1 x 6 with Holes|White|Black| |2|6001831|Technic, Liftarm Thick 1 x 9|White|Dark Bluish Gray| |4|6013938|Technic, Pin 3/4|Tan|Dark Bluish Gray| |6|4666579|Technic, Axle 1L with Pin without Friction Ridges|Tan|Light Gray| |1|6117975|Bracket 1 x 2 - 2 x 2|Tan|Dark Bluish Gray| |8|4121921|Plate 1 x 3|Tan|4x Dark Bluish Gray, 2x Black, 2x Light Bluish Gray| |4|4118790|Plate 2 x 3|Tan|Dark Bluish Gray| |4|4201062|Brick, Modified 1 x 4 with Studs on Side|Tan|2x Dark Bluish Gray, 2x Black| |5|4550323|Arch 1 x 4|Tan|Black| |2|4550324|Tile 1 x 4|Tan|Black| |1|6186258|Slope 45 2 x 4|Tan|Dark Bluish Gray| |2|4143409|Plate 1 x 10|Tan|Dark Bluish Gray| |7|6271820|Technic Bush|Red|Light Bluish Gray| |30|6378120|Technic, Pin 1/2 with Friction Ridges|Red|Dark Bluish Gray| |20|6360104|Technic, Pin with Friction Ridges and Tow Ball with Round Pin Hole|Red|Black| |2|6384112|Bar 1L with 1 x 1 Round Plate with Hollow Stud|Red|Black| |31|4142865|Technic, Axle 2L Notched|Red|Black| |7|300421|Brick 1 x 2|Red|4x Dark Bluish Gray, 3x Black| |1|6385920|Technic, Brick Modified 1 x 2 with Hole and 1 x 2 Plate|Red|Light Bluish Gray| |2|6271827|Technic, Liftarm, Modified Bent Thick L-Shape 2 x 4|Red|Black| |3|6130002|Technic, Axle 6L|Red|Black| |1|6335578|Tile 2 x 6|Red|Black| |2|379521|Plate 2 x 6|Red|Dark Bluish Gray| |1|6130005|Technic, Axle 10L|Red|Black| |7|4206482|Technic, Axle 1L with Pin with Friction Ridges|Blue|Black| |20|6299413|Technic, Pin 3L with Friction Ridges|Blue|Black| |4|6271167|Technic Bush 1/2 Smooth|Yellow|Light Bluish Gray| |14|654124|Technic, Brick 1 x 1 with Hole|Yellow|8x Black, 6x Dark Bluish Gray| |1|6344181|Plate, Modified 1 x 2 with Pin Hole on Top|Yellow|Light Bluish Gray| |8|6130007|Technic, Axle 3L|Yellow|Black| |1|6072627|Technic, Liftarm, Modified T-Shape Thick 3 x 3|Yellow|Light Bluish Gray| |2|362224|Brick 1 x 3|Yellow|Black| |2|6170294|Technic, Liftarm Thin 1 x 6|Yellow|Black| |4|6474196|Bar 1L with Tow Ball|Orange?|Dark Bluish Gray| |4|4164022|Brick 1 x 2|Lime Green?|Dark Bluish Gray| |1|4164037|Plate 1 x 2|Lime Green?|Dark Bluish Gray| |5|4537937|Plate 2 x 2|Lime Green?|1x Light Bluish Gray, 4x Dark Bluish Gray|

    Can we please get a post that explains what this community is for? Seems like nobody reads the sidebar (which is hard to access on most mobile clients) so we constantly get flooded with questions that would rather fit in !lemmy_support@lemmy.ml or !fediverse@lemmy.world I understand that many people are still confused by how lemmy works but we should make clear that this is for general questions and discussions similar to what /r/askreddit was and not a place to ask technical questions about lemmy.
