I'm just going to start not answering the phone unless it's a number in my contacts. If it's important they can leave me a message.

IIRC the content is on multiple. If there's a single user on lemmy.world subscribing to content from somewhere.else's foo community, then foo will be synced to lemmy.world and if somewhere.else is taken down it will remain on lemmy.world.

But someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Also, it isn't just about servers going offline. If a single server does something bad, you can just switch to a different one and enjoy the same content you've been seeing.

That isn't relevant to the comment though.

Big fan of this and Tasting History.

It's not even about oil either - it's mainly about unregulated capitalism. We've created vast oceans of plastic junk because people are lazy and want the cheapest things in the world. I guess it really is a government by the people and for the people.

I'm in the process of trying to get rid of as much plastic from my life as possible. I hate this shit.

What's the difference between caching online data and "local first"?

It does work offline AFAIK. What does it not do that you want it to do?

What's causing the most headache for you?

Why not just use the C ABI?

And what libraries are you referring to? Almost all the ones I've used have fantastic docs.

I don't get it. Screw worms devouring animals alive is extremely painful, so we should eradicate them? The process of any animal eating another is basically always excruciating and fucked up.

 

AFAIK when you log in to Proton, you send them your password, they do the standard hashing and checking against the hash stored in their database, and if it matches them they let you log in by sending you a token of some sort.

If the your password is your encryption key, and if at some point Proton needs your plaintext password in order for you to log in, then doesn't that mean they still have a way to access your data? They could take the plaintext password and decrypt everything in your account without you knowing, right?

 

I know bike tires will lose pressure in colder seasons because the air temp causes the pressure to drop, but is the inverse true? Does bike tire pressure go up in summer due to heat?

If so, do I need to deflate the tires a bit in summer? Do bike tires ever explode because of a temperature change?

 

Not with their end product - the powder itself is excellent. But every little packet is plastic, and doesn't have to be. The world has such a serious problem with plastics, and for a lot of products it's kind of necessary, but this is not one of them.

Restaurants have had the same size single serving packets for sugar, salt, and pepper for decades now and those are paper, which is much more environmentally friendly. It's even better for usability! With paper, I don't need to go find my scissors like I do for TWW's plastic packets.

I asked TWW if they would consider using paper instead, but got a generic reply that they'll bring it up, but evidently nothing has been done about this.

Is anyone else as disappointed as I am with their use of plastic packets? I care a lot about having clean water for my coffee, and I care just as much about not polluting the rest of the world because of it.

 

This might seem obviously "yes" at first, but consider a method like foo.debugRepr() which outputs the string FOO and has documentation which says it is meant only to be used for logging / debugging. Then you make a new release of your library and want to update the debug representation to be **FOO**.

Based on the semantics of debugRepr() I would argue that this is NOT a breaking change even though it is returning a different value, because it should only affect logging. However, if someone relies on this and uses it the wrong way, it will break their code.

What do you think? Is this a breaking change or not?

 

I haven't played any Baldur's Gate games before but I've heard so much about this game that I'm going to buy it.

However, before I start, I always wonder about this: some games allow you to unlock any weapon at some point in the game, and if you miss one in some quest you can always go back. If you accidentally sell one you can buy it back or forge a new one again, or have it respawn. If you want some other class you can switch later.

Other games are not like that, and if you screw up or aren't aware of [full in the blank] then you can't unlock something.

What's the story with BG3? Do I need to be careful and plan before going on missions?

 

Or is this just a coincidence? Any other elements with the symbol as the full word?
