    Not sure if I'm doing something wrong, have an incorrect setting, or if this is expected behavior, but the thing that's been driving me nuts is when I go to share a link it always copies the source of the post for the lemmy link.

    If, for example, I'm browsing on lemmy.ml and I want to share a post from lemmy.world, I'd like to be able to copy the lemmy.ml version of the lemmy.world post.

    It doesn't make as much sense with public instances, but when you're using a private instance and you want to share with friends and family it can be kind of a hassle to retrieve the URL for said private instance.

    The move to a subscription model is the disservice and requires no particular savvy to differentiate from free.

    Macs and Chromebooks are fine for some people and won't require as much hand holding as a direct Linux install regardless of the distro.

    People are going to rely on what others recommend when they don't know themselves. It's up to those people to cull the list from ten to two.

    Is the person a budding tech that wants to hack on their system? Send them to Arch.

    Are they a creative looking to craft? Throw them into Ubuntu Studios.

    Maybe they're grandparents who barely understand tech. Ok, Mint or Elementary are good options... Just maintain SSH access with keys.

    The options are a strength.

    Your money, spend it how you want. Me, I'll eschew the bloated system designed to separate customers from their money in favor of the free and open source alternatives.

    First time completing a compo, didn't get nearly as much of the game done as I wanted, but I'm quite happy with my year's progress. Still no option to rate a game. Found a reddit post (https://www.reddit.com/r/ludumdare/comments/16xgv1k/i_dont_understand_how_to_rate_other_games/) that described the same, so I don't think it's just me.

    I don't use the Steam version because it locks my steam library when I'm coding.

    That's awesome, I wasted so much time on the web browser before playing over ssh and wasting even more time. Shame the drops didn't seem to speed up.

    why isn't the use of the bidet more widespread?

    I bought a Toto HW300-W "Portable Travel Washlet" off Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B008O1G4LQ) back in 2018 and it still runs like a champ. The text is all in Japanese, but easy enough to figure out (or Google Lens it if you really want to know).

    * Edit: I should note that I paid about half of the current list price :-O

    American here. Thanks to woot regularly selling them, I have a bidet on each toilet in the house. I have a battery operated travel bidet, because now I'm hooked.

    It has certainly led to.... "Interesting" responses from house guests. There's always TP in stock, so it's not required. Butt I'm never going back if I can help it.

    Fair opinion. I prefaced the post with "whining" because it's mild complaint from one fan. I'm not sure how I would have felt with just Michael Kramer or Kate Reading doing 100% of the narration. I do truly enjoy the different voices for the different perspectives. It just really threw me to hear Hoid in Kate's voice.

    You make valid points, however, I'd like to point out that most games on the play store don't cost a lot because the real costly transactions are in-app purchases. It's common, in my experience, for the popular free apps to have IAPs upwards of $100 for in-game currency.

    There's also that matter of the no-cost version of the app. It seems perfectly usable, making the ad-removal an optional purchase.

    Considering the smaller user-base and the finite economic value of life-time purchases I'd say $20 is fair. But that's my stated opinion and I have yet to put my money where my mouth is.

  • Ok, I'm going to get this out of the way first: I love Brandon Sanderson's work and the Cosmere is epic and awesome. It took me some time to warm up to Secret Project #3. My biggest gripe is once again Kate Reading. This time it wasn't pronunciation or tempo, it was her reading in Hoid's voice. Nails on a freaking chalkboard. The "Hoid-isms" are reduced as the book goes, so there are fewer occurrences of her mangling the Hoid I've grown to love (Michael Kramer) as the book goes. But holy crap that was jarring. My **unsolicited** and **unprofessional** advice to Brandon for the next book that switches gendered perspectives is to have a different voice handling the narration during the female perspective. I feel it would have been far improved to have the female perspective covered by ~~Pattern~~ Design / Kate with the male perspective being handled by Hoid / Michael. * Edit: I keep mixing up Pattern and Design. I swear I'm not racist, some of my best friends are cryptics.
