we’ve got plenty of users that have that hunter2 password

Speaking of things the website shouldn't even know...

those that say “wrong username” means that the password is valid

How could it mean that? The only reason you'd ever say "wrong username" is if the account doesn't exist (otherwise it's indistinguishable from "wrong password") and in that case there's no reason to even look at the password.

The argument also ignores that these platforms don't charge more than the original brick and mortar distribution systems they replaced, under which the industry developed in the first place.

The thing that has changed is that AAA budgets have ballooned to the point that their sales targets have to be unrealistic. The author suggests that needing 4 to 8 million sales to break even is too many, but a game that currently needs 8M sales would still need well over 5M even if the platform's cut was 0%. And I don't have any confidence that the publishers would actually reduce their expectations for units sold even in that case.

Depends on where you look. The five strings at the nut somehow become 7 by the bridge. The sixth string appears to start under her left hand, and the seventh may actually be emerging from the sound hole.

Oh wow, they really nailed the visual presentation. If you presented those screenshots as being from a lost Impressions city builder I'd have believed it.

I haven't actually gotten around to trying it yet, but Alton Brown made a video recently where he rolled his own pancake mix. It looked good.

I have no idea who either of us is talking about.

But I use I/me pronouns for myself. That'll get confusing real quick.

Not only has that always been the case, but that's the only possibility: DRM, on a fundamental level, is just encryption where Bob and Eve are the same person.

(For the uninitiated, the basic problem statement for cryptography is that Alice wants to send a message to Bob without Eve knowing what it says.)

You aren't your dogs mistress

I'll grant that it sounds a bit archaic, but "mistress" is technically correct there.

But yes, agreed that "master" can be used in a gender-neutral way.

Gotta use the --headshot flag then.

 

I'm trying to write a package for the Zen Maru Gothic font, which is available on Google's font repository on github. (https://github.com/google/fonts) It's a huge repo with thousands of fonts, so I'm trying to use sparseCheckout to grab only the part I need:

src = pkgs.fetchgit {
   url = "https://github.com/google/fonts.git";
   rev = "v0.4.9";
   sha256 = #snip long hash;
   sparseCheckout = [ "ofl/zenmarugothic" ];
};

I was originally using fetchFromGitHub pointed at the same repo. In both cases, what's actually being fetched into the store seems to be the root directory of the Google Fonts Axis Registry repository (https://github.com/googlefonts/axisregistry) which has a different url, name, and owner.

I feel like I'm going crazy.

 

Example of behavior: https://discuss.online/post/35408836

In a browser, the post body contains two spoiler tags, the first is some text, and the second is an additional image. In the app, the image gets combined into the gallery, but the text is nowhere to be found.

Also the "Combine markdown images to gallery" setting doesn't appear to do anything; even with it turned off, the image gets combined into a gallery and the text is still missing.

 

Bug Report

Describe the issue: The post in question:

https://discuss.tchncs.de/post/53330380

That's the url as connect copied it from my feed view in Connect, but I imagine my experience actually involved the federated copy on Beehaw. [Edit: the tchncs.de link crashes also.] A couple of attempts looked like the app was trying to throw up an error message of some sort, but it crashed back to the launcher so quickly I couldn't read it.

Device Information

  • App Version: 1.0.372 (372)
  • Platform: android
  • OS Version: BP4A.260105.004.E1
  • Notice: Using legacy Shared Preferences

Modified Settings

The following settings have been changed from defaults:

  • isCommentActionsReversed: true (default: false)
  • alwaysShowInstance: true (default: false)
  • alwaysTrustDomains: true (default: false)
  • commentTextStyle: bodyMedium (default: bodyLarge)
  • enableCommentNavigator: true (default: false)
  • shouldHighlightNewComments: false (default: true)
  • isImageVerticalSwipeToClose: false (default: true)
  • nsfwView: show (default: blur)
  • applyNsfwInCommunities: false (default: true)
  • cardType: list (default: card)
  • shouldResolveOpenGraph: false (default: true)
  • shouldDisplayCommunityBanner: false (default: true)
 

The old bug where spoiler text appears blank in light mode appears to be back. Probably it's rendering the text as white on white rather than respecting the theme settings.

ExampleI can't read this part in light mode at all.

 

Go to a thread with more than a screenful of comments. Collapse some comments. Scroll away and back. Comments no longer collapsed.

 
  • With "force full-size thumbnails" disabled (the default) most thumbnails fail to load

  • With "convert to webp" enabled (the default) most images fall to load in app, but work in an external browser

As an aside, is there an "open external" anywhere when viewing an image? It used to be in the three dot menu, but I don't see it now.

 

It used to be that pressing the back button while in the settings menu would take you back to where you were before. For the last several versions, it would instead unceremoniously exit the app. I see from the notes for 271 that an exit prompt has been added, seemingly cementing what I would have considered the root bug. (i.e. that it exits at all rather than just going back)

So how are we supposed to leave the settings menu if not the back button?
