Opt out telemetry is annoying. There’s no guarantee it doesn’t send before I’ve had a chance to disable.

I’m right here 😊

By mathy I mean related to math

Hmm, and might I just add, could of*, per chance. 🥂

Less than you’d think. While some people definitely do over explain things from excitement and talkativeness, it’s easy to recognize when someone is being an ass.

I really dislike it. Maybe the newer versions are better but there were some very confusing details about the actions and you can’t really ask without letting people know your secret objective. Plus, if a newer player is randomly assigned betrayer mid game? Good luck helping them without reading their rules.

In my opinion, no, it was too hard.

Magicka comes to mind but it was utterly unplayable single player. Maybe the sequel is better.

It feels very wizard like because you don’t have a static list of spells. You have 8 elements you.can combine into spells. (It does have unlockable spells but those are sort of secondary.) So using the fire and shield elements makes a wall of flame, for example.

Fortunately, Lemmy has public modlogs. This helps users catch bad moderators and report them to other moderators/admins as well as make informed decisions on whether people bemoaning bans actually deserved them or not.

Wasn’t it like Napster in that originally it was for pirating text books?

onlinepersona posts that on every comment they make. They’re licensing their comments under CC BY-SA-NC 4.0. Given the context of the conversation it may have sounded confusing.

I’ve been considering reporting streetlights that don’t point straight down because they technically violate city codes.

YouTube ads cost about $0.026 (two and a half cents) per 30 seconds of viewing. This is called cpv.

It’s not fair that ss a viewer I’m not able to bid on my own to show myself an empty ad slot. I’m looking at the price of premium and it definitely seems like more revenue for YouTube than I’d give them from ads.

Unless you’re speaking about (non human) animals. Saying a dog is a female is fine.

Every time I’m doing anything with Python I ask myself if Java’s tooling is this complicated or I’m just used to it by now. I think a big part of the weirdness is that a lot of Python tooling is tied to the Python installation whereas in Java things like Maven and Gradle are separate. In addition, I think dependencies you install get tied to that Python installation, while in Java they just are in a cache for Maven/Gradle. And in the horrible scenario where you need to use different versions of Maven/Gradle (one place I was at specifically needed Maven 3.0.3 for one project and a different for a different, don’t ask, it’s dumb and their own fault for setting it up that way) at least they still have one common cache for everything.

I guess it also helps that with Java you (often) don’t need platform specific jar files. But Python is often used as an easy and dynamic scripting interface over more performant, native code. So you don’t really run into things like “this artifact doesn’t have a 64 bit arm version for python 2” often with Java. But that’s not a fault of Python’s tooling, it’s just the reality of how it’s used.

Isn’t conda specifically for mathy things?

No, it’s not just you, Python’s tooling is a mess. It’s not necessarily anyone’s fault, but there are a ton of options and a lot of very similarly named things that accomplish different (but sometimes similar) tasks. (pyenv, venv, and virtualenv come to mind.) As someone who considers themselves between beginner and intermediate proficiency in Python, this is my biggest hurdle right now.

Ugh, so one thing that’s annoying about apologies is that if you use the word “if” people usually think it’s a bad apology regardless of everything else you say. Try to say things like “I’m sorry that it upset you” instead of “I’m sorry if I’ve upset you.”
