Been waiting for Slay the Spire and Undertale sales on GoG. The history shows those have not been on sale in GoG for years now or whatever.
I guess they will never come.
And also hoping to one day be able to get Slay the Spire 2, Balatro and maybe Deltarune in GoG..
Not a celebrity, kind of like @pedz@lemmy.ca, but Daniel Naroditsky.
I did not expect his death would affect me as much as it did. Fuck K.
I personally would rather avoid things using precisely electron as you mentioned (yes I know that's not a language) or javascript as a backend programming language.
But even if you and I can't think of a reason why would someone not want a specific programming language, who are we to deny them the right not to use things written in such language?
what i did was question about why they don’t want it
Your comments in this thread I read before posting my message seemed a bit aggressive towards the OP but I maybe I misunderstood them. My bad, I'm sorry.
Not everyone can read code.
From those who can, not all have the same knowledge that may be required to read this specific tool.
From those who can, not all have the time or willingness to do so.
Not wanting to use something that had AI input is just as valid as not wanting to use a specific tool, programming language, operative system, or browser, because it goes against your principles.
Software always had bugs long before vibe coding was a thing, we all understand that.
Many of us are on Lemmy because we don't want to contribute to Reddit.
OP is not trying to convince you to not use tools that AI never contributed to, no need to try to convince him to use tools that AI may have potentially heavily contributed to.
Well that depends on a lot of factors. One of them being the distance of dick to floor of every one they would jerk. Call that D2F.
Hopefully they thought of it.
Great job to all volunteers who organized and participated in this initiative. And also, a big thank you to Myrient for having had so many games preserved all this time and for giving the community a chance to prepare for a time when it will no longer be around.
I just noticed this post of yours from 18h ago so I guess that's related.
Like I said I don't really have any kind of special access here except suggest maybe to try to check from a different browser or clear cache, or different application, in the event the problem is local, related to some software you are using and not a problem with the account.
I don't have any kind of authority or special access here but "I need help", or "it doesn't work", or "there's an error" are usually useless pieces of information if not followed by details about what you need help with, what the error is, what your specs are, what were you trying to do..
The best a person with good intentions can do after your inquiry is ask "What do you need help with?" and maybe post a link to some FAQ.
Do yourself and others a favor and help others help you by giving more information about what you need help with.
Didn't they add copilot to notepad, to the file Explorer, to windows I assume as a non removable service (internet explorer anyone?), and to who knows how many more places?
Whatever metrics they claim to have are for sure not inflated. /s
If people are indeed using copilot a lot then great: good for you, please shut up, you don't need me on-board.
As far as I am aware, most people are indeed born on January first.
Thank you for the warning and source. I think I had read about this. Personally I use IronFox on Android, but Firefox otherwise.
Even if we take this at worst case scenario, it is a much lesser evil than Google in my opinion. And they still open source everything (I think?) and as far as I'm aware allow 100% configuration to remove or tweak anything we don't like one way or another.
More recently I was also not happy with their introduction of AI crap in the browser which can also be disabled.
It would be better to be disabled by default and even better not to be present, yes, but well...
As long as it does not get too out of hand and as long as they keep it open so anyone con remove that crap from forks and/or through configuration... Given our choices, I think they deserve recognition for their work. Even if we don't agree with everything they do.
I never donated for them and used Firefox for over 20 years. Even if it goes downhill really fast starting now (Which I hope it won't, and the future would suddenly turn much bleaker in this regard), I think I should be thankful for 20+ years of good service.
I never switched away from Firefox except for 2-3 of its forks on Android. And Librewolf as non main browser on pc.
I'm also keeping an eye on ladybird but not keeping my hopes up yet.
All that being said, your concerns are valid and I do share them. I just want to reinforce that when all is said and done.. No matter what the future looks like..
They were here for us for at least 20 years.
(Not OP)
I think Kobo is not too closed, is it? Not saying it's open source, but not hard to install KoReader or other stuff it may support.
I have a PocketBook reader, more specifically a pocketbook touch hd 3.
When plugged into a pc the thing seems open source but I am not sure if everything it runs is visible there. Installing KoReader on by device was just a matter of copying 2 folders to specific places in the existing hierarchy, and not a single file replaced a previously existing one.
This is an older device, I hope newer ones are still as open as this one seems to be.
I don't expect to need to buy another e-reader anytime soon but Kobo would be on my radar if I would.
What is wrong with yours?
